What's up rocspace fam? It's Rashaad The One and Only!!! I want to begin by saying Thank God for allowing us to see another year! God made 2008 to be a year of struggle. A year of failure. A year of "bailouts". A year of much animosity. I'm here to announce that the reason for that is because America has forgotten who her daddy is and Our Father had to remind us who was in charge. We seemed to have forgotten where our source comes from. Who is the source of our strength and the strength of our life. So I want to let you know that 2009 is a year of New Birth. The number 9 is significant because it represents birth. In the 9th month of pregnancy, a baby is born. God is about to put a baby in you that you will birth for the kingdom of God. Nurture your dream/calling/ministry because only what is done for God will last. Remember that God is a generational God. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. What you may birth you may not be able to see it grow and flourish. Moses was called to lead the people out of bondage TO the promised land but Joshua led the people INTO the promised land. So just remember to embrace the legacy that lives in you whether if you are the foundation of the legacy or if you are called to carry the legacy to the next level, do it wholeheartedly for the Glory of God.
Sorry to be so long-winded but just had to let my peeps know that everything is gone be all good this year. Everything this year if it's out of order, God's gone put it back in order because He does things with decency and in order. I need somebody to touch and agree with me right now - No lack in 2009! Unmatchable favor! We will walk in nothing BUT the overflow!!! Don't forget who your daddy is!!!
Philippians 4:13 - "For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Romans 8: 10-11 - "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
Romans 12:1-2 - "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

THE ART OF STAYING IN LOVEhat is more exciting and exhilarating than falling in love? Is there anything?Sadly, though, many of us have learned that it's just as easy to fall out of love as it was to fall into it. And while finding love and affection is one of our greatest personal needs, why is it that so few seem to stay in love?Falling in love can be the start of a loving relationship, but lasting relationships don't just happen; they grow. In many ways nurturing a relationship is like tending a garden. Neglect it and it dies. Constant care and cultivation—including the following suggestions—are needed to keep love alive and growing.Love is being there. One of the chief ingredients of love is to give another person your presence. Without presence, as Dr. David Augsburger says, love receives an invitation to die.Presence is not only spending physical time with another person but also giving him or her your undivided attention when you are with them. It includes being sensitive to his/her feelings and aware of his/her needs. It means not only hearing with your ears but, much more so, hearing with your heart.For instance, recently I visited with a friend who spent the entire time talking about his interests and concerns. I tried to share some of my interests, too, but felt as if my words fell on deaf ears. There was no experiencing of mutual presence—the basis for all meaningful relationships including friendships.
SCARAfter an anger outburst, the scar remains with the victim. Especially if it is a woman, woman generally remember what you have said for a long time. Be careful when dealing with your anger.There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to Hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say 'I'm sorry', the wound is still there."
