Heart Pains
No matter what I always come back to the vent.The vent is within me. I vent to my own soul because I doubt anyone else would ever understand.I'm stuck on Big K.R.I.T just because he speaks so much truth in his music.He has a song called "Free My Soul" and that's how I feel.If I do get all this great material stuff will I be sorry in the end? Are the people who have it now that are sorry that they have it? Will they be sorry they have it when it's all over and done? I feel like crying, this week has been such a smack in the face.I feel like reality of the state of life as we know it has been exposed. Man being uplifted before God instead of bowing down in humbleness before the one who created him.I was almost the victim of the enemy's deception.When I realized how easily I was deceived it troubled my soul.Overwhelming fear and sorrow flooded my heart,I was raised believing in Christ.I don't wanna be wrong.I've seen instances where I thought he left me but then I understood.Sometimes people make bad choices on there own that cost them their lives,and break the hearts of the loved ones that clutch them like the precious jewel that they are.Sometimes people get tired of suffering and it breaks God's heart so bad he says enough.He says "I can see that this child loves me more than anything.I'm tired of their infirmities bringing them so much suffering.I give them my peace.Let them rest now."I think that's what God told my cousin Pooh..Rest Now...you been working hard to tell these people about me and to serve me.Pooh did a great job worshiping God but the problem is....he never went outside the church house. No need in having a God-given talent if you can't draw the ones who need him.I thank God he sent me to Virginia State University I pray he uses me til I don't have nothin' left .If I've done this thing to the best of my abilities,one day,one sweet day, I'll get to see uncle Bernie,Pooh,and Aunt Brenda again.

Savior Please
Savior, please take my hand.
I work so hard, I live so fast.
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can
But I don't know how long I'll last.
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough.
I can't do this alone,
God I need You to hold onto me.
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love.
Savior, please, keep saving me.
Savior please, help me stand.
I fall so hard, I fade so fast.
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am
Because You're all that I have?
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough.
I can't do this alone,
God I need You to hold onto me.
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love.
Savior, please, keep saving me.
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe
That I don't have to prove a thing
'Cause You're the one who's saving me.
Hallelujah.
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough.
I can't do this alone,
God I need You to hold onto me.
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love.
Savior, please, keep saving me.
No, Savior please, keep saving me
I work so hard, I live so fast.
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can
But I don't know how long I'll last.
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough.
I can't do this alone,
God I need You to hold onto me.
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love.
Savior, please, keep saving me.
Savior please, help me stand.
I fall so hard, I fade so fast.
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am
Because You're all that I have?
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough.
I can't do this alone,
God I need You to hold onto me.
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love.
Savior, please, keep saving me.
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe

'Cause You're the one who's saving me.
Hallelujah.

No, Savior please, keep saving me

God is better than good he's GREAT!!!
It just feels so good to be alive right now. Even though my faith is being tested, God is still blessing me. I love him and I know he will supply my every need. I thank him for he is soooo faithful. Often times we cry out to God when things get messed up but never give him a second thought as long as things are well. Never do we realize that some of our suffering is him trying so desperately to draw us closer to him. It's him thinking "I wish my children would sit in my lap longer and that they would come and talk with me. Pouring out all there human cares to me.Oh I want to hear from them so bad" God wants to hear from us because he loves us. He took his time to make us and mold us. We are his craftsmanship and I praise God that though he made us similar none of us look,think, or view the world exactly alike. He wants to hear from YOU not the crowd and you as you stand in it but YOU as an individual.

Troy Davis Executed After Stay Denied by Supreme Court
By COLLEEN CURRY
Sept. 21, 2011
Troy Davis was executed this evening after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a last-minute stay of execution.
Davis died at 11:08 p.m., according to a Georgia Department of Corrections official.
The execution was delayed more than four hours as the U.S. Supreme Court weighed last-minute arguments from Davis' legal team and the state of Georgia over whether his execution should be blocked.
The court's decision to deny the stay came without comment after 10 p.m. ET.
At 7:05 p.m. ET, five minutes after his scheduled death, Davis' supporters erupted in cheers, hugs and tears outside the jail in Jackson, Ga., as supporters believed Davis had been saved from the death penalty. But Davis was granted only a temporary reprieve as the Supreme Court considered the decision.
Davis was convicted of the 1989 murder of off-duty Savannah, Ga., policeman Mark MacPhail, and had his execution stayed four times over the course of his 22 years on death row, but multiple legal appeals during that time failed to prove his innocence.
Public support grew for Davis based on the recanted testimony of seven witnesses from his trial and the possible confession of another suspect, which his defense team claimed cast too much doubt on Davis' guilt to follow through with an execution.
Several witnesses recanted their testimony that Davis fired the shot that killed MacPhail. His impending execution has brought those efforts to a head.

A growing tide of celebrities, politicians and social media users called for the execution to be delayed because of "too much doubt" present in his case.

At a protest in front of the White House today, at least 12 Howard University students were arrested for failing to move off the White House sidewalk, according to ABC News affiliate WJLA. The protest there was expected to last until 7 p.m.
A flurry of messages on Twitter using the hashtags #TroyDavis and #TooMuchDoubt showed thousands of supporters of Davis were intent on flooding the Jackson Distirct Attorney's Office, Georgia Judge Penny Freezeman's office, and the U.S. Attorney General's Office with phone calls and emails to beg for a stay on the execution.
Some users accused Twitter of blocking the topic from trending on Tuesday, though a representative from Twitter told ABC News there was no such action taken. The hashtags were trending today in cities around the U.S. as well as Germany, the U.K., Sweden, and France. Many tweets called the case a symbol of a return to Jim Crow laws and racial inequalities in the justice system.
Big Boi, a member of the group Outkast, tweeted to his followers to go to the Georgia state prison in Jackson to protest the decision. The Roots' Questlove tweeted a similar message.
The NAACP and the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson held a news conference today calling for the execution to be halted.
Amnesty International, which has been fighting on behalf of Davis, encouraged supporters to attend a vigil at the church across the street from the prison at 5:30 p.m. and a protest at 6 p.m., and asked participants to wear a black armband and write on it, "Not in my name!"
Wendy Gozen Brown, a spokeswoman for Amnesty International, said that Troy Davis would want the protests to remain peaceful.
"In this type of situation, there's always the potential for it to go awry, with certain groups, angry rhetoric," Brown said. "But Troy Davis would want people to keep fighting peacefully, for him and for, as he would put it, all of the other Troy Davises out there."
Others who have voiced support for Davis include former President Jimmy Carter, the pope and a former FBI director.
Davis's execution has been stayed four times for appeals since his conviction in 1989, and the Supreme Court gave him a rare chance to prove his innocence last year, but rejected his plea.
A Georgia board of pardons and paroles rejected Davis's plea for clemency on Tuesday.
