I want to talk to each and everyone of you about depression from someone who suffers with depression on a daily basis. Many people may think that those who suffer with depression are just sad all the time and that's all they see. But sadness is not always the case, there's also loneliness, fear and anger. Depression is a mix of emotions that tugs on the hearts of those who suffers with it daily. From my experience depression for me is like being at Comic Con midst of all the crowds; midst of all the people you see as your friends and no one is saying hi to you. You feel like you're a ghost that everyone is seeing right through you. You want the world to see you, but all you are to the world is a ghost. It's a heavy feeling and each day it gets heavier and heavier until you can no longer breath. You feel the world, society's judgmental glare aimed at you. You feel as if someone is talking bad about you, even though they're not, they're not even talking about you at all. You begin to wonder if anyone would truly miss you if you're gone. If anyone would come to your funeral if you were dead. If the world would be better off if you were no longer here. That's when you start pondering suicide. That's what I feel on many occasions. I'm always feeling alone. I feel like the whole world is judging me. I want to reach out but I'm afraid, afraid that people might judge me even more. That people might accuse me of being weak. I want someone to acknowledge my existence. I want to know that I have a purpose in this world and that what I do is meaningful. But when it come to depression, you start believing in fear. You start believing that your life is pointless. You stop believing that everything is meaningful and that no one will reach out to you and no one will help you. Depression can be so severe, you can actually put yourself at risk for anxiety, panic attacks, even heart attacks. You could be putting so much weight on your self, on your heart that sometimes, many times actually, depression would lead to suicide. Even I've had my share of suicidal thoughts in the past, but I'm a fighter and no matter how I feel, I will always fight for my life. Because even during my darkest times, my darkest hours, in my deepest pit of despair, even I know that life is worth fighting for. But some people, they don't have that same feeling, that same encouragement and to them, death is the only way out. Death is the only Freedom they have. So that's why many people take their own lives. Maybe no one ever reached out to them. Maybe someone saw that person in despair and just walked right by thinking that person will fix their own problems. Perhaps they were in a hurry and never paid attention. Maybe they were too prideful of themselves. So instead of helping, each and every one of these people could've been a light, but they were only thinking of themselves, not of others. They had a choice to be a light and shine for someone who may need it, but they chose to turn away. They didn't let that light shine and believe it or not each and everyone of you can be a light. Even a spark in the darkest night can still cast light. So you have a choice in this matter, you can be a light in someone's life and help save them from fear and bring them out of that depression, or you can go on with your life, thinking only of yourself and not your fellow man. Each person with depression is a ticking time bomb and every minute that person is that much closer to taking their own life. So don't hesitate to talk to someone if you see them feeling down. Just don't talk to them one time. Let then know you really care and that they are are loved. Talk to them twice a week even, that way they know they have someone who actually cares. If you just talk to them once and that's it, that's not going to help them. They're gonna see that you don't really care about them. They're still going to feel alone. You can show them that life is worth fighting for, all you have to do is be the light. Depression is serious and it's always taking people away, it's always taking lives, but together we can conquer depression, we can conquer fear. So in a world full of Darkness, shine bright, brighter than the sun and the moon at night. Shine bright, because you are hope to someone who needs hope. You are love to someone seeking love. Shine bright for those who is fighting a losing battle, so they can be victorious. Shine bright and never let your light go out. Because all it takes is you doing what is right. Shine bright and be the light to those suffering in darkness, they are not alone.
​I want to start a hashtag to help raise awareness for depression. With your help let's make the #YouAreNotAlone go viral. Let's show them they are not alone. Let's show them that they are loved and that you are willing to be there for them. By sharing the #YouAreNotAlone, you letting them know that they can confined in you. That they can trust you. Continue being the light.

The irony is that we have men and women risking their lives, even dying for America, to protect her.. Yet we in our homeland, are destroying her from within with all this racism and hate. The way I see it, until we fix what's going on in our homeland, until we learn to love on one another, our men and women over seas are dying in vein.

There's a time in life where we come across two bridges and we must decide which to cross. Here you got one bridge that is gorgeous and decked out, made of solid iron and the other is a rugged old splintered wooden bridge that looks like it's falling apart. But looks can be deceiving as the splintered bridge would lead you all the way, sure it might shake and some boards might fall, but at least you would make it all the way. As for the gorgeous iron bridge, it looks as if it goes all the way, but in reality it only goes half way. You see, the iron bridge is all things man. It looks trustworthy and it looks as if it could take you all the way, but in reality you can only go so far. But as for the old wooden bridge, which represents the Cross that Jesus laid down His life upon. It is that bridge that would take you all the way. You just have to put your faith and trust in Him and know that it is that bridge that will lead you all the way home. It is up to you to decide the bridge you would take. Which one would it be?

It's sad that only during great tragedy do the world stand together, but every other day, people don't care. How people are acting during this tragedy in Paris and how they were during 9/11, that is how we should be each and every day, united and standing tall, not divided and falling. A tragedy should not be the only thing that brings us together, we should be together each and every day.

To become a Christian, we asked Jesus to come into our lives and by doing so, we've made a vow, a promise to live Christ-like, to live as Jesus would and to continue living doing God's work, we become His hands, His feet and His voice. So why am I seeing Christians these days going against their vow and indulging in sinful way and becoming silent? I've been seeing Christians these days, hiding their faith and keeping silent, because they're afraid to speak up, afraid of what the world might think of them. They are afraid of the persecution that would fall upon them if they spoke up. They have become what I call the 'Silent Christians' instead of the 'Fighter Christians' like I, myself am. They let fear and pride get in the way of their relationship with God and by doing so they are living in sin and they do not know it. I, myself am a Fighter Christian, a Christian who refuses to remain silent, who refuse to let fear and pride get in the way of my relationship with God. I am not afraid of what people think of me, what the world thinks of me. I am not ashamed of God. I will pray in public, despite being ridiculed. I am His hands and I am His feet and I'm not afraid to go where He sends me. The bible says we will be ridiculed for believing in His name, but hear me, the world may ridicule and try to drag us down but God will give us the strength to overcome. Don't be the 'Silent Christian,' be the loud, obnoxious fighter Christian. If the world ridicule you for it, then you know you're doing something right with God. Be His hands and feet, His voice; the world is dying to hear Him, but you are remaining silent, when you could be the one to save that one lost soul. Speak up, God's not done with you yet. He will use you if just let Him. Let the world see God's love through you. Stop hiding and stop being silent, the time is now to raise your voice and be heard. Rise up you Christians, as Casting Crowns would say, "Be courageous." Allow God to give you the strength you need to speak up, to rise up and be the Saints He wants you to be. Don't fear the world and don't give in to their harsh words. God's Word is love, His Word is true and it goes against the words of the world.  Ask yourself this, "Are you going to be the 'Silent Christian' and remain quiet and hide in fear, or are you going to be the 'Fighter Christian'  and rise up against the world and raise your voice in the name of God? He's not done with you, if you are willing, He is willing to guide you. #WeAreChristians

In my opinion, real Christians are the ones who are being ridiculed, mocked, threatened and even killed for their beliefs, because they're the ones who refuses to remain silent. Even through the fear of death, they find the strength to call out to God and not deny His name. I, myself refuse to remain silent and because of that, I've been ridiculed, I've been mocked and I've been threatened because of my faith, my beliefs and if death were to come my way, I too will have the strength to call out to God and let death take me. I will never in any situation, deny Christ my Savior. To all you Christians, Saints, Brethren and Sisters who are afraid, silent, afraid of the world and prideful; how much do you love God? When Jesus laid down His life, He did it for you. Do you have what it takes to lay down your life, to take on the world for His namesake? Do you have the courage to fight, to speak up, to be the servant God wants you to be? Time is changing; yes we are being persecuted and the time is now more than ever to speak up. Speak up, you Christians, you Saints of God make a stand, be courageous and never let your voice be silent. There's a great Revival coming, I can feel it in my heart and my soul. God's not done with America. God's not done with Israel. God's not done with Canada. God's not done with Mexico, China, Japan, the U.K. God's not done with the world. There's a great Revival coming and our voice, His voice will be heard. Christ came down to lead by example and we should follow, not hide and remain silent. His Word is love, not hate and His Word should not be left silent. Do unto those what you would want done unto you. Help those who need lifting. Feed those who are hungry. Clothes those who are naked. Christ is returning soon and there are those who still needs help, your help, His help. Let Christ work through you. Don't be afraid, be courageous. Don't be silent, speak up. Don't just sit through this, make a stand. Don't give in to what the world thinks of you, give in to what God commands of you. Be courageous and be the Saint He made you to be. The great Revival is coming and again I say, 'Let our voice, His voice be heard.'

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,  and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
-II Timothy 3:1-17 NKJV
