God Gave me an Assignment but I can’t stop feeding my flesh 

  
God gave me an assignment but I can’t stop feeding my flesh long enough to commit to it.

God told me to get busy but I know he’ll understand that I have to get these Jordans this Friday so this will push my assignment back a little bit.

God gave me my assignment but I have to go out and eat every weekend so I won’t be able to commit to the task that he gave me.

God gave me my assignment but my kids also want those new shoes and they can’t be wearing any old stuff that’s not name brand so I hope God will understand that I can’t invest in that thing he showed me in my dream.

God gave me my assignment but I haven’t been to Paris yet and I keep seeing these photos of my friends in FB that travels the world and I would love to see how it feels.

God gave me my assignment but Christmas is right around the corner and God will understand that I have to drop some serious cheese in my family and kids or they might think that I don’t love them so I’ll just get started on his work next year!

God gave me my assignment but my friends will think that I’m crazy if they see me falling off because I’m known to be super sharp and dressed nice all the time and I would hate to have to cut my budget from kicking it to do his work!

Hey God do you have any FREE assignments that won’t cost me anything because I think that is a better job for me and my family! 

My 5th Anniversary of Being Weed Free 

  
5 years of being weed free and I feel great! I thank God for releasing me from my weed addiction. I wasn’t sick or I wasn’t smoking weed to deal with chronic pain, I was abusing it. I would get high watch my mind wonder off into places I had no business being! Plus the places that God is sending me has no room for my weed habit. I battled for weeks when I tried to quit and that’s how I know it was an addiction. One day I asked God to take the TASTE out of my mouth and I havent desired it since! If you are dealing with this issue just hit me up and let’s talk.

Jay Z’s “Big Pimpin” Case Thrown Out Of Court

Victory for Jay-Z and Timbaland in the case where they were sued for a sample of a flute they used in “Big Pimpin.’” Los Angeles Judge, Christina Snyder, ruled this week that the suit brought forth by the Osama Fahmy, the nephew of Baligh Hamdi, for the 1957 song “Khosara Khosara” was not feasible as Hamdi, the nephew, did not have the right to pursue a lawsuit in the case. Timbaland revealed last week during the trial that he had paid a EMI Arabia $100,000 for the rights of the flute sample. Hamdi tried to sue based on morals about the songs content which he stated would have appalled his uncle who wrote the love song originally for a movie. The case was originally opened in 2007. The lawyer for Mr Fahmy, Keith Wesley, was dissatisfied with the ruling and stated: ‘We strongly disagree with the ruling and we fully intend to appeal.’
