We Plan, He Plans

For years I have had a specific plan for my life, and I am sure there are other people who can say the same thing for theirs.

I planned to finish college and land a job that involves me doing something that I enjoy doing that generates a lot of income.

In better terms I had plans to become successful through a stress free journey.

By understanding the concept “we plan and God laughs” I’ve drawn up the conclusion that I was cheating myself when I wanted life to be a simple task.

Throughout my journey of finding success, God has strategically placed roadblocks in my path.

These roadblocks have slowed me down on my mission, but they have also made me a wiser and a stronger individual.

A dream or goal that’s not worth fighting for shouldn’t be a dream at all.

If something that a person wants badly is at easy access, then that person should wonder if that something that he or she wanted was meant for him or her.

As I was growing up, my parents taught me a valuable lesson — everything that I wanted to own I had to work for it; nothing in life should just be given to me.

In some way I believe that God tries to teach us all a similar lesson.

We can’t make specific plans for life and get angry when they are altered a little bit by God’s vision for each of us.

There maybe someone out there who is meant to become a successful lawyer, someone that God gives the blessing of a child to.

God isn’t telling you to stop your mission. He is just telling you that you now have to work harder.

There may be a struggling artist or actor out there that hasn’t had luck with finding jobs.

This doesn’t mean you aren’t meant to be an entertainer; God maybe telling you that you are looking in the wrong places.

We can’t give up when are agenda are changed because it is God’s way of telling us that he has something better in store for us.

Play Me

In the history of music there has only been a few CDs that have been good enough to be played in entirety.

There are other CDs that would have only three good songs and there would be some that would have only one.

Well, I want people to play me like a good CD.

I want to speak out for the people that are too afraid to voice their opinions.

I want to speak out against injustice issues.

I want to be the CD that is able to play over and over again and I want other CDs in the disc changer with me.

I know I probably won’t get more plays than Niki Minaj or Wocka Flocka Flame.

I know I probably won’t hit the billboard charts like Kanye West or Lady Gaga; but that doesn’t matter to me.

What matters is that others and I are heard.

Too many good CDs aren’t being played enough.

It seems like they are only played after something tragic happens, and then they are thrown out of windows again.

This is a problem because by not recycling good CDs, no one is keeping good messages alive.

I want to be played everyday all day, and I know that there are others that feel the same exact way.

I feel that some believe that because people aren’t facing the same turmoils as they did in the past, they don’t have to speak out.

However, I also believe that this is where people are mistaken.

We do face the same turmoil; we are just in a different time.

I want somebody to play me.

I want to maintain a spot in the disc changer.

It’s 2011, but there is still an abundance amount of work that needs to be done.
