MY LIFE- Already .........BUT NOT YET
All Ready but yet is a concept I heard about from my favorite Rapper Sho Baraka (real name Amisho Lewis). I draw a lot of inspiration from Sho, his music, and the insights he offers on his podcast called Untamed (check lionandliars.com). Already but not yet refers to a few aspects of Christianity that i won't explain here. Truthfully not sure if I can but I hope the what I'm gonna explain can give you a better picture.
Last summer while i was in Edmonton, i took some time to reflect on this book called Soul Cravings by Erwin McManus. I was struck by the Question, What does my soul crave?. As i thought about that i wrote poem called MY Story. It gives you a deep insight into my story. The deepest desire that motivated me and how i sought to satisfy it. A lot people know me, know facts about me, but very few know MY STORY. This poem shows the heart of it and I hope gives a better picture of my faith in Christ. It is something i told myself I would share with others via the internet but can't seem to find to courage to do.See I think My story is all ready but not yet. Meaning its written but yet ready for your eyes to see. Not so much because I lack courage right now but because I have a sense of timing (I think). I will post it next Friday. But it is something I would like to share with you in person. So come to York university next week Thursday as I perform MY Story at an event hosted by Campus4Christ called Icrave Intimacy.

This song is called My Life by Sho baraka. Sho talks about his life, his struggles with family, and race. Even if you don't watch it, please keep these words in my mind
when I share my MY Story with you next week
This my tip to pull back the curtain
to show the life a young man hurting
Its my life, ain't no way I can change at all even if I tried/
That why I try, to go and tear the wall down let you all get a peak inside/
But once you inside, I guarantee you wont like everything that you'll find/
But what you'll find, is the grace of the LORD, cuz His hands all over my life/
It's my life"
