Well friends if you have ever wondered what keeps me from pursuing my dreams, its this, I have a hard time loving myself.  It doesn’t seem to matter how many people show their love for me, when I am alone and it’s just me and my thoughts, I listen to all the lies.  It is what has kept me single, secluded and to myself over the years.  Then one day, like seriously 3 days ago, Jesus comes and says “Hey!!!  YOU, yeah you Anthony, I love you and have prepared and given you many of your desires right before you!!”  You see I couldn’t see those blessings, because I was to busy focused on what a failure I was in my eyes.  Then God laid out all the of the close friends I have, who love me and trust and who know me.  He placed before me all my years of coaching and the lives I have affected over these past 15 years.  He showed me relationships in my family that have grown and finally he showed me Him on the cross, once again.  We know about the cross and His sacrifice, but we need a reminder that he holds nothing against us.  He simply wants to love us.  So, the question is How to love myself?  My only answer to is open my eyes to all the blessings, The family, friends and kids I have coached to realize I am a pretty good dude that God has made this way.  As far as being single, well I believe I will be an awesome husband an father, so no more pity parties and running from what God has ordained!!  I will love myself, because that is the only way I can truly love those in my life.  Love your neighbor as you love yourself!!  Well I believe that is enough said.  Thank you to all my friends who have loved me unconditionally.  Love you God, from your Beloved Anthony!

One Love, One King, All Christ!
