Trying Hard To Keep The Faith: That's The Way God Planned It By Billy Preston


Just got back from Church and I'm trying to remember everything that was said in today's mass.  In this day and age where fewer people believe in religion, my mother and I still go every weekend as well as every first Friday of the Month.  I'm not that deeply a religious person but I still believe in God and Heaven.  I'm just trying hard to stay the course and keep the faith.  That's the reason why I'm using the song "That's The Way God Planned It" by Billy Preston.

This last 12 years sure shook me up in terms of faith.  A lot of things that I hope would happen didn't and things dreaded did happen.  There was even a time that my faith was so shaken that I stopped going to Church and it was only through my parents' counsel that I went back.  It was hard to accept the things that happened and has been happening but I guess that's all part of the Big Guy's plan.  Still losing faith in that time didn't help me either.  It took a while but I went back to the fold.

Right now, I'm still trying to figure what the master plan is all about.  I have to admit that I'm a little resistant about some of the plan's designs and hopefully we can meet each other halfway.  I just wish that thing's would work this time around.  I've been accepting the unacceptable for a long time and hope something good comes up for once.  In the end, it all in God's hands and I'll just have faith in what it's in store for us.

Nothing's Free/You Got To Do Something: Nothing From Nothing By Billy Preston




Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded how tough times are.  Just heard in the news that prices are going up again yet I'm not surprised.    To add insult to injury, we just got knock a peg in terms of finances.  Still, nothing will happen if you just sit there so you got to dig deep and think quick if you want to find a solution.  Got to think of what you can do and use it to the fullest.  This is something I learned after listening to the song "Nothing From Nothing" by Billy Preston.

Things are so hard these days. So hard that it's to take those instant money packages in the hopes that you get quick cash for your needs.  The hard truth is you really got to dig deep to find that thing that'll be your ace in this financial hole.  Either or go out of your comfort zone and try something else.  It may be hard but if it'll give you more income then why  not?

You can't wait for the fruit to fall.  You can't cling to others either.  Even if you do get help, the rest is up to you.  Nothing's free in this world so you got to do something.  There no such thing as something from nothing only nothing from nothing.
