We Are Us They told me the truth was in the textbooks. That wisdom came with a price tag, a diploma. That if I just sat down… shut up… and repeated their answers, one day I’d be somebody. But I am somebody. Always was. Always will be. And so are you. If you choose to be. They’ve been lying to us since before we could speak. Everything is a lie. We need warriors for truth. They build cages… and call them classrooms. They build prisons… and call them schools. They build systems… and call them freedom. We don’t need more slaves. We need warriors. Warriors for truth. Warriors ready for war. Not with guns — but with wisdom, love, and relentless courage. They taught us the earth spins at impossible speeds: • 1,038 mph on its axis • 66,600 mph around the sun • 514,000 mph through the galaxy • 1.3 million mph through the universe And yet the North Star stays fixed. Water always finds the lowest place — level, calm, truthful. If the earth were curved, I wouldn’t see that city across the Great Lakes. But I do. My eyes don’t lie… their math does. Everything is a lie. NASA’s very name traces back to a word meaning deception. We rise — warriors for truth. They gave us twelve months. But the earth moves to thirteen — thirteen lunar cycles, thirteen menstrual cycles, thirteen disciples. Thirteen is divine. Thirteen is healing. They told you it was unlucky. Everything is a lie. We are warriors for truth. Words are spells. Think about what you say each morning. “Good morning” — as if mourning yesterday. We go to work, collapse on weekends, too tired to fight. They hide truth in plain sight while we chant their magic. They keep us busy with labels: Black vs White, Gay vs Straight, Left vs Right, Masks vs No Masks. Division is the oldest war strategy: divide and conquer. While we fight, they pull the strings. It’s not left vs right — it’s us vs them. They told us debt was normal, that taxes were patriotic, that paper with dead men’s faces was “money.” Before the Federal Reserve, there was the Titanic.

First, decide where you want to go. Then plan how you’re going to get there. “The God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build.” – Nehemiah 2:20 Procrastination only makes challenges grow. Nehemiah knew this. He prayed, planned, and acted with focus—he didn’t wait for circumstances to be perfect. History reminds us of the same truth: William Wilberforce didn’t just dream of ending the slave trade—he pressed forward despite obstacles and personal hardships. Vision alone doesn’t change the world; action does. As Goethe said: “Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.” Lee Iacocca added: “Even the right decision is the wrong decision if it is made too late.” So today, ask yourself: - Are you willing to act on what God has placed in your heart? - Will you take bold steps instead of endlessly analyzing? Don’t just dream—build. Don’t just plan—execute. Father, help us rise, build, and act on the plans You’ve given us. May everything we do glorify Your name. Amen.

Eye write to help you see what I hear. I am a world-renowned author that people love to hear speak. I am not an artist but I can paint a picture with words to help you see what I say/write. It’s sometimes too many voices to capture at once but I’ll do my best. I like my writing and I think that most people that read what I write like it too. I am just scared to actually share it because I don’t know exactly what I want to say. But I know for sure that if I don’t say anything then it will never be heard. Or said. Or written. Is writing like talking to yourself? If you write it, did you say it or did you hear it? Did you have to say it to yourself to then read it and that gave you the ability to write it? Can you write without hearing first? Is your brain just constantly writing and you’re just not reading? Or is it constantly talking and you’re not listening. Or are you listening? Or reading? Or writing? Or talking? What are you doing? Or are you doing nothing at all? This is what my mind does constantly and I like that I can write what I think. My hands just sometimes hurt when I try to keep up. My fingers are cramping… Maybe this is what I am supposed to be doing. This is definitely what I love to do. One of my favorite parts of the Bible is James 1:2-8. I love it because Eye have seen and personally witnessed not only in my life but in the lives of countless others that the hardest times in our lives are consistently the times that make us stronger. Those challenges or difficulties are what make us who we are. They are why we are how we are. They are what help us to become who we are. The good times in life are great but the hard times are what build us. Nothing gets stronger without enduring pain first. Be thankful for challenges of many kinds. Testing of your faith creates perseverance and perseverance is what makes you mature and complete. Not lacking anything. And if you do lack anything, ask God for wisdom. God gives generously. Without finding fault.

Every dream faces resistance. The difference between those who make it and those who don’t isn’t just desire — it’s faith paired with a plan. A young woman once felt called to serve as a missionary in China. She applied through the China Inland Mission, only to be rejected for lacking the right academic background. Many would have quit. But she didn’t. Instead, she prayed, trusted God, and built her plan. She worked, saved every dollar she could, and bought the cheapest ticket she could find. Against all odds, she made it to China — and fulfilled her calling. Her story proves two things: 1. Obstacles are not in the way. Obstacles are the way. Each challenge is part of God’s design to build the strength and faith needed for the assignment. 2. Proper planning prevents poor performance. She didn’t just dream — she mapped out her route and followed through. The Bible says, “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). Vision must always be backed by action. Or as Steven Covey reminds us, “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” The more we understand God’s wisdom, the better we can align our steps with His plan. So let me ask you: are you only dreaming, or are you planning? Today, write down your vision. Identify the obstacles, the people to work with, and the resources you’ll need. Then take the first step. Because with God, the “impossible” is just the start of His story in your life.

The most valuable thing you and I will ever have isn’t money, it’s time. Money lost can be earned again. Opportunities missed may circle back. But a second wasted? That’s gone forever. The Bible reminds us in Ephesians 5:15-16: “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” Moses prayed the same truth in Psalm 90:12: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Great leaders and successful people echo this: - Steve Jobs said, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” - Warren Buffett reminds us, “The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.” Every day, you’re either trading time for things that fade or investing time in things that last. When you give your time to love, to serve, to grow, to give back—you’re multiplying what God has entrusted to you. 👉 So today, treat your time as your most precious currency. Spend it wisely. Invest it in people. And above all, use it for what matters in eternity.
