Keeping the faith

SO IF YOU HAVE NOT READ JAMES 1 YET I ADVISE THAT YOU DO. I HAVE READ IT 4 TIME NOW AND IT SEEMS TO GET BETTER EVER TIME I READ IT. THIS EVENING AT WORK, AND TO THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW I HAVE A FEW PART TIME JOBS, I MEAN I HAVE TO EAT AND I WAS NEVER THE TYPE TO NOT WORK. IM A SERVER AT FATSOS BAR AND GRILL IN DECULA GA, PART TIME CONSTRUCTION FOR MR. HOME REPAIR, TRAINER AT ENERGY FITNESS OF AMERICA IN ATLANTA GA AND I RUN A AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM 3 DAYS PER WEEK FOR 3-5TH GRADERS NEEDING ASSIST IN MATH AND SCIENCE (COMBINE ATHLETICS WITH ACADEMIC). WELL WHILE AT WORK ONE OF MY CONTACTS FROM THE ATLANTA FALCONS CAME IN, KEVIN WINSTON (PLAYER DEVELOPMENT), HE SAID CULPEPPER KEEP WORKING I BELIEVE IN YOU AND REMEMBER ALL YOU NEED IS ONE TEAM TO SAY YES AND YOUR IN THE DOOR AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING I BELIEVE THAT JUST AS MUCH AS I BELIVE THAT MY DAY IS JUDT AROUND THE CORNER. ITS SO EASY TO GIVE UP LOOSE FAITH, I MEAN I HAVE MAS IT THIS FAR BY FAITH SO WHY STOP BELIEVING NOW. ITS LIKE THAT SONG THEY WOULD SING AT MY OLD CHURCH, I THINK I HAVE MENTIONED IT B4. "WE COME THIS FAR BY FAITH, LEANING ON THE LORD, TRUSTING IN HIS HOLY WORD, HE NEVER FAILED ME YET.. O.. O .. O CAINT TURN AROUND... WE COME THIS FAR BY FAITH. THEN ANOTHER CUSTOMER COMES IN THE DOOR, NOW ITS 2AM THEN, MY TABLES ARE BUYING ME SHOTS AND DRINKS, WERE ABOUT CLOSED. THIS GUY SAYS TO ME CULPEPPER YOU DON'T NEED TO BE DRINKIN, YOU HAVE A SHOT BELIEV, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE YOU OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT PEOPLE ONLY DREAM OF. SO DON'T HURT YOUR BODY WITH THOSE DRINKS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. THE ENTIRE TIME HE IS SAYING THIS THE PEOPLE BUYING ME THE DRINKS ARE SAY HEY LETS BE REAL, DRINK THESE DRINKS HAVE A GOOD TIME, FORGET HIM, MIND YOU HE HAD BEEN DRINKING TOO, BUT HE WAS RIGHT. THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD BE ON MY MIND IS MY TIME TO SHINE.

HELIN GA AND SOMETHING NEW

SO I DECIDED TO GET AWAY FOR A COUPLE DAYS, GO RELAX SEE NATURE FOR A MIN. HELIN GA, BEAUTIFUL PLACE BEAUTIFUL CITY AND A GREAT PLACE TO GO RELACE. SOMETIMES I DONT THINK IM DOING VERY MUCH BUT WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE AND I TAKE A MOMENT TO BREATH AND RELAX I SEE JUST HOW IMPOTANT THIS REST IS. NOT ONLY THAT JUST HOW MUCH REST I HAVE LACKED. I DIDNT SLEEP THE ENTIRE TIME, I TREATED MYSELF TO SOME AWESOME MEALS (PRICY BUT WORTH IT) AT TAVERN VILLAGE AND NACOCHEE GRILL, SAME OWNERS, DIFFERENT STYLES OF FOOD SAME GREAT TASTE. SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME THAT IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO PLAY AS HARD AS YOU WORK, OBVIOUSLY NOT AS OFTEN BUT STILL IMPORTANT. SO I TRIED SOMETHING ELSE NEW, IM GETTING A PETICURE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND BOY DOES IT FEEL GREAT; NOW I KNOW WHY THESE COMPANIES DONT GO OUT OF BUSINESS. EVEN WHEN THE ECONOMY IS DOWN AND TIMES ARE TOUGH, NAILS WILL STILL BE CUT, FEET RUBBED AND DEAD SKIN BRUSHED AWAY.
