My goodness what a difference a day makes. Michael Jackson dead at the tender age of 50. So talented, iconic….a bit weird but that’s what made him special….his musical talent that is. I still remember my grandmother taking me to the Apollo Theatre to see the Jackson 5 when I was 11. The next time I saw MJ was at Madison Square Garden with the other fans screaming to the top of my lungs. The last time with an equal scream factor as the last 2 concerts…was the Victory tour at the Atlanta Omni….yup I am a bonafide fan. I pray for his children and family.
One of MJ’s songs was man in the mirror where he talks about before you can do good in your life or the world you must take a look at yourself and make that change…..oh how I can relate. Serious illness has a way of bringing to the forefront change. One of the 7 gifts from the Holy Spirit is understanding. One thing I know to be true….we exist because it is GOD’s will for us to do so.
My plan and purpose has become to praise him and give him thanks daily….you can’t do that without understanding. So much time is spent seeking approval from everybody other than the one entity that is responsible for our existence…I am learning that when I fail to understand that GOD’s love is enough, that he will see me through the storm, my life’s mission is failed. Learning to understand, resolving to reflect about love and loss is SAVING MY LIFE….
