Road Work Ahead, Use Caution

Greeting Bloggers,

While driving down 64E headed home from Short Pump the other night, there was a sign flashing on the left-hand side of the road that read "Road Work Ahead, Use Caution". I continued to drive straight ahead, at the same rate of speed. A few miles up, there was another sign, near the Staples Mills exit that read "Detour Ahead, Be Aware". I progressed towards the detour and took my normal exit. The sign was there to warn oncoming traffic, road work was being performed by city workers, trying to make the pavement smoother.

Good thing I didn't ignore these signs, I'm sure it would have been some very unhappy workers, if I had altered the road they laid and designed for me. That got me to thinking, how many signs do we come upon, read and ignore. God has a plan for us, a distinct road map that is individualized for each of us. Some of his signs are settle, some may appear with a flashing neon light with your name on it. LOL. The question is, do we allow our own personal agenda get in the way of God's plan? Do we witness the signs He's laid before us, and choose to ignore them, because we want, what WE want now? If I had ignored the signs that the city workers had placed in my travels, anything could have happened. I would have interfered with the designed they created for me to get home. I say that to say, we must "Use Caution", when the things WE plan on, don't work out just right. I know we're human, and we sometimes push forward, because "this" was our plan. But whose plan is more important? Our own or God's?

You know, we ask for a lot. Sometimes big, sometimes small, but it always seem to be something we "think" we need in order to make us happy. I personally want to be on TV being a comedic actor or doing my stand-up comedy, and I believe that God has opened that door for me. 2010 was a year I prayed that my comedy career would take off. So, I read the signs and changed my style to "clean" comedy, which wasn't easy. But because I took heed to the signs laid before me, the Lord has blessed me! Don't be afraid to ask the Lord for something, but be prepared for the work it will take to achieve and hold on to the blessing you've asked for. Well, The Lord hears our cries and will answer by and by! We just have to learn patience and allow God to do his Will. Sit back and let God pave your road. You've asked for something special, and because of your faith, He will give it to you. He wants to make sure that each of his children have smiles on their faces. But we HAVE to let God take control of the wheel. Just remember...there's Road Work Ahead, Use Caution.

Not Famous YET, but I still MADE it!

Greetings Everyone,

I know I joke a lot! And I mean A LOT...lol...

But i wanted to take a moment and pull on the strings hanging from your heart. On Facebook today, there were some great and touching comments to my post that said "This is a day that the Lord Hath made". It only took 3 comments, but those 3 comments touched me this morning. THANK YOU, Squiggs, Moonie & FoxiLady. Tee's comment really made me think today. I have said it before, I know God has a purpose for me, and I think its thru comedy. I'm just excited to see how I will be used. I know it will manifest in HIS time!

A lot of people wonder why I never have a bad day, or never let anything get to me. Well not only is it a good trait to be a comedian, but it's so much more than me. Like most, I've been thru things in my life, even some of the things, I asked for in prayer. If anyone knows the story of Job (and not a place of employment..LOL), he went thru a lot, yet never loosing FAITH in God! I proudly announce, I was like Job, and the same result...I never lost faith, and He never once let me down. So I praise him every chance I get. Am I perfect? Not at all...FAR from it, but I do recognize where my strength comes from.

So with that being said, I need a favor from everyone that reads this. Go into a room alone or with a loved one. Carry a CD player, turn the lights off so you can't see anything. Next I want you to start to think of all the hard times you've been through in your life. Think of all the disappointment family and so-called friends have put you through. After you've thought of your past or present situations, the Cd or song I want you to turn on....Marvin Sapp "Never Would've Made It"! Then, rethink all those thoughts and memories, that just came to mind. Now think of me, this should answer everyone's question of "How can Boogie be this way".....you've just learned why.

Now after this, imagine all the laughter you can have and look forward to, from now on. People just don't know, but I'm so thankful for having the greatest wife and family and friends in the world. The Lineage! Thank you all for believing that I can make it in this business. I refuse to let yall down!

If this has touched you in any kind of way, please feel free to add my Blog address (http://www.boogiebynum.blogspot.com/) to your social networking status line. This is not for self-fulfilment or trying to get my name out there (God does my marketing), I'm just trying to touch as many people as I can. It may be someone out there, that needs a pick me up. If you don't add this, "NO, no one will be cursed, die nor does it mean that you don't believe in God"....lmbo its just funny how the crazy forwards come out forcing and trying to scare people into forwarding their message.

Thanks Everyone!
