Any Given Sunday

Nowhere is where I came from

As I sat in church this morning/afternoon, something the pastor said stuck in my mind. It was something along the lines of God's word being legit and binding; having blind faith in someone who you know will not choke when confronted with adversity.

Broke many tackles but I'm trapped in myself

Immediately, I thought of the phrase, word is bond. I actually like to use the word, word, in my everyday conversation. As in, word up, oh word, say word, etc. But sometimes, it is eye-opening to think about the little things we say and do in life that have a cumulative effect on our psyche. Someone even pointed out to me how today's sermon was more generic than any given sunday. It was those life jewels that got dropped and thrown his way on the regular that mattered more than the special occasion messages.

On "Any Given Sunday" I got to play my best

The things we hear and feel cause us to speak and react in ways that are sometimes beyond our control and yet - we involuntarily allow the spirit to hit us as it sees fit. I have been feeling extremely overwhelmed with a lot of stress lately and I absolutely despise being stressed. It just doesn't fit my bones. I'm annoyed when I'm aggravated and then from there it's just a downward spiral. So I did some praying, mapped out a few resolutions in advance, and now sit here figuratively and literally cleaning up my life and throwing out a few things, dusting off a few things, and making room for a few things. However, I do wonder how much paper I will be able to throw away though. And who's to say that my winter cleaning will result in any goodwill or favor? All I know is that when all is said and done (life-wise, not this cleaning ish), I would like to be able to say that I gave it my all and put my best foot forward. Nahmean? If I can't write and cash that check, then I need to bounce, son. Word up.
