True Friendship


"Friendship, True, Genuine Friendship. What does that mean to you? Someone who loves, cares, as long as things are going good? Someone who sticks by you, as long as you're having fun? Someone who goes along with everything you say? Someone who will follow you down the wrong path? No. That is not true, Genuine Friendship.

Genuine Friendship is someone that loves and cares for you, Especially during the hard times; Someone who isn't with you just to have fun; Someone who doesn't agree with everything you say; And someone who will take you by the hand When they see you going the wrong way, And lovingly helps you get back on the right path. If you have had a "closed-door", "nose-to-the grindstone" attitude, Now may be the time to open the door. It would be beneficial to make yourself a little more accessible to other people. Don't get so bogged down with things that you don't have the time to be there for someone when they need a friend.

Robert Fulghum has written: "The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered."

Share with others in a heart-to-heart way. Listen with open ears to the feelings a person may be expressing, even more closely than you listen to the details of their story. Be willing to help carry their load. Go the extra mile with them and rejoice at their victories. Allow yourself to be vulnerable to others in return....revealing your own wounds, frustrations, hopes, dreams, and desires". Proverbs 17:16- A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity. This verse has been a living verse for me lately. We are to love our friends through thick and thin. Through those tough times when the waters of life are thick and murky. We are to love at all times even when they miss the mark and fall into sin. How far would you push the extent of this verse? What boundaries would you put on it? Now let me ask you how far does Jesus, who calls us friends, go to the extent of loving us? He is the true example of a friend who loves us at all times. He never leaves us or forsakes us. He is always thinking about us and loving us through even the worst of sinful times. It means much the same as 'blood is thicker than water.' A true friend loves you even when things are going good and bad (water), but a brother is a very special friend (blood) and help in times of trouble. A brother can be counted on more than anyone else in desperate times. The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18: 24

Make no friendships with a man given to anger and with a wrathful man do not associate. Proverbs 22: 24

they have testified before the church of your love and friendship. You will do well to forward them on their journey [and you will please do so] in a way worthy of God's [service]. 3 John 1: 6

And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Moses returned to the camp, but his minister Joshua son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the [temporary prayer] tent. Exodus 33: 11

a perverse man sows strife and a whisperer separates close friends. Proverbs 16: 28

He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends. Proverbs 17: 9

No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends. John 15: 13

you are my friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do. John 15: 14

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you John 15: 15(NKJV)

I am a companion of all those who fear, revere, and worship You, and of those who observe and give heed to Your precepts. Psalm 119: 63

faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are lavish and deceitful. Proverbs 27: 6

Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; so does the sweetness of a friend's counsel that comes from the heart. Proverbs 27: 9

as iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Proverbs 27: 17(NKJV).

Keep your Inner Child

We all have an inner child, but few of us are able to acknowledge our inner child and how it has served to define the people we have become.

Do you ever wonder why you so quickly stifle any emotions or feelings that may lead directly to your inner self? The answers vary from person to person, but understanding the signs is a big step toward understanding ourselves and why we avoid showing the world who we are inside.

Matthew 18:2-4

2 He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3 Then he said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever becomes like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

A lot of people believe when we start to mature we start losing the ability to express our inner child, but that’s only because we think that just because we get older and more mature we have to let go of our inner child.

To me our inner child is a tool in our lives it keeps us grounded it helps us not get caught up in the messed up world we live in, it helps us to stay pure of heart and frankly it makes us more interesting.

For those who serve God and are reading this, who says that you have to be boring to serve God. He doesn’t want us to push people away with our wisdom and knowledge, there are people who need the smart talk and people who really just need someone they can talk to and know they are listening without judging, they want the kind and gentle heart.

That is why God gives us our inner child when we mature. So that we can still reach the people who are innocent and kind, so that we don’t scare them away.

Don’t be afraid to play…

God's Calling is a Blessing

How many people can you have ever started a ministry as a teenager, well I would have to say that I have never heard of a single ministry run by a teenager, let alone a media ministry.

I have had allot of other ministries/Churches tell me things like why are you even trying to start a ministry, you are too young, you don't have the credentials, or the education.

But one thing that these leaders failed to remember is Jesus himself didn't have the credentials, the education, and not to mention even as a kid he still knew what God's will really was and all the leaders back then still had no clue what it was that was needed most of all.

To become a spiritual Leader God has to call you to do that, it doesn't how old you are, it only matters that, it is the Lord's will for your life.


God has really blessed me not just with the material possessions I have, but with the ministry he has put on my heart to start.God has provided everything we needed so far for the ministry, he has provided us with the money,the camera, the studio, the software, not to mention a killer media producer.
I am just amazed at how much God trusts me with this Ministry.


I just want all teenagers out there to know that it doesn't what age you are, or how much experience you have in any field, as long as it is God's will for you, and that your heart is in the right place.


God Bless!

Trust and Obey, and know that God is with you

A lesson that I have been learning is, that even when all things seem like that everyone is against you, and trying to keep you from a relationship. You have to trust God, and remember that if your obedient to his word by submitting to athorities that God has placed in our lives, Like our parent's; God will bless you and help you to endure the time appart.

Even if you feel that those that have charge over you, and the other person is wrong and unfair, you have to always remember that God loves you, you have to trust his word and know that it must be for a reason.
