Jeremiah 29:11
11 For
I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not
for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
FLOTUS Michelle Obama gave the commencement speech at Tuskegee University
on May 9, 2015. For me, it was one of the best commencement speeches I
have heard. What struck me so much was her candor and openness of
her life that she shared with the crowd gathered to witness the class of 2015
graduate.
Summarizing part of the speech, the First lady talked about the first time she
was on the cover of any magazine. The cartoonist drew her with an afro
and holding a machine gun. She was honest and said it really took
something out of her and threw her back. She wondered if that was
how people really saw her. She admitted to the fact that she had sleepless
nights, and it has been a process for her to be the First Lady that stood in
front of the crowd today. The turning point for her was when she decided to be
her true authentic self, rely on Gods plan for her life , and
Rise Above The Noise!
Such is life. There will be and always will be haters-
People who talk about you; judge you and criticize you. No one is exempt
from negative people and the useless clatter of their vile empty spirits.
No one is exempt but we can Rise Above It.
I can’t be any other person
but Clarence. What God put in Clarence is enough and I choose to
listen to The Voice and Spirit of the God who created me and not those
who can only use their tongue to try and hold me down. I can improve
Clarence. I can get better or act better but I am already ok. It took me years
to accept who I am- My faults and all because there is always someone to
compare yourself with. There is always someone saying what you can
or should do. Be who you are IN CHRIST. Stop listening
to the wind and all that noise! It is my choice to conform to their
image of me or be the Image that Christ gave me and rely on His plan for my
life. I belong to Christ! I am His Son! I am a child of the
Most High God! I am A believer ! I am Rich, I am Holy Ghost Filled,
I am A Good Husband, I am a good Father, I am a good provider, I am healed, I
am delivered, I am free! I am!! I am because of Jesus Christ not because
of anybody else. Glory To God!!
It’s a choice, but it’s a
choice we all must make. Listen to the wind or listen to God!
God
is here and HE has a plan for your life!
Brother
Clarence,
