HELP!

What's Good  Yall?  God is, no doubt. So listen since I started this blog I been talking about topics where we are focusing on one thing: Change. Why ? Because when we make positive changes within ourselves we are automatically going to spread this positive change to others. That's what the I Will Movement is about. Now check this, you see the four letter word in title above? HELP. This is one of the most powerful things that you as an individual can do to promote change, Help others. When you help those in need you are creating change, whether its providing food, shelter, clothing, the word of God, you are promoting change. Not only will the situations of those that you help change your situation changes.  In the bible Luke 6:38 ( english standard version) says, "Give and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. " Now don't get it twisted, I'm not saying we should give because we expect something in return, but in doing so we will be blessed. The bible also says that the Lord loveth a cheerful giver. You ever had someone help you out and they had an attitude about doing it; and seemed to forget that you once helped them?  That's not the way it should be, God wants us to be cheerful about giving.  Ever seen people that have everything one's heart could desire but they do not give to others? John 3:17 says " But if anyone has the world's good and sees his brother in need yet closes his heart against him, how does god's love abide in him?  Ever had someone help you out only to make themselves look good, like they are above you, and they just had to tell others what they have done? That's boastfulness and God ain't on it. An excellent example of helping those in need  is the story of  homeless man Ted Williams that has populated the news, and internet. Hear we have a man who stands on the corner of the freeway everyday holding  a sign as people drive by, clearly he needs help. The dispatch worker who made a video of him has always talked to him with words of encouragement and gave a dollar or two every time he saw him. Who would have known that one cell phone video would gain exposure to the masses that it did and bless Ted Williams in ways that he would have never imagined. If we all have a mentality to just help others, in whatever way we can there's no telling the limits that what we have done can reach. It's like the movie "Pay it Forward" , the good we do for others can spread. The Dispatch worker himself stated that he had not intended for the video to go viral, he was just doing what he always does when he sees Ted Williams, being a friend. By doing so, he too will be blessed.
So, make a commitment to help someone in what ever way you can without expecting something in return, and watch how it spreads. Share your stories in the comments section below. Remember when you say "I Will", you are committing to an action: Change!

You Hatin' Im Prayin'

So, I've been talking about forgiveness. Even in the midst of storm we have to forgive our enemies too. I wrote this poem when I was going through something in my life. The best thing we can do for ourselves when we have enemies and haters among us is to forgive them, other wise you are giving them the power over you.  And the best thing you can do for them is Pray for them. Check out my Poem...

                                    You Hatin' I'm Prayin'
                                                   by Indira Williams

Hater’s wonder how I keep my composure, well it’s the God in me; I thought I told ya,
and I know you wanted me to lose my crown, couldn’t wait to see it all fall down.
I know you wanted to be in my spot, but see I am the queen and Me, you’re NOT.
And I know you’re thinking right now, this chick is conceited,
but it’s a beautiful thing to proclaim that the enemy has been defeated !
And despite all the hell you tried to bring into my life,
Proverbs  18:22 says, “ God favor’s a man because he has a Wife!”
You see forgiveness  is a powerful thing,  
that’s why you have not torn apart what God put together with this ring.
And  I’m not hatin’ the player nor am I hatin’ the game, because neither I cannot change,
So in the meantime, I pray for you, hater,
in Jesus name.

Forgiveness

Hey everyone, I'm back. It's been a while since I last posted  on the blog but I will definitely have it updated more often. In fact I have an assignment in one of my courses to create a blog on blogger. Since I already have one I thought what better time than now to finish what I already started. So the last time we talked I said I would talk about forgiveness and that I was working on forgiving someone. In my heart I have forgiven them  Forgiveness is powerful, because when you forgive you are letting go of powerless feelings that you have when you have not forgiven someone. The bible teaches us so clearly that God wants us to forgive. In the lords prayer it says we should pray " and forgive us our trespasses as we  forgive those who trespass against us... So lets be real about this topic. Christ forgave us , so why is it so hard for us to forgive others in that same unconditional way? Is it because we feel that we cannot trust a person even though we forgive the act they have done against us? Does forgiving a person automatically = trust or are those two separate things? I believe forgiveness and trust are separate and that trust is something that has to be rebuilt over time when someone has violated your trust; however forgiveness is the best start then, you and that person can work on the trust issues. Ultimately forgiveness starts with YOU so make a commitment to forgive someone who has wronged you. Remember, when you make a commitment you are saying "I Will" which is the precept to change. Change start with you.  So friends what do think? Holla at your girl, share your stories in the  comment section below, or just comment let's talk about it.
