I think sharing some of the experiences of my life is motivating not only to myself but to others also and can maybe shine the light on others about certain situations or help someone out with answers from issues the they may be going through That I have already been through.
This year has been one of the best years of my life thus far. I have been blessed beyond measures. If anyone would of told me this time last year that I would of been as blessed as I have been so far this year I would not believed them if they gave me a million dollars to do so. So I decided to put this blog together to capture some of the blessings I have received this year and share them with you all. Some of you might already know of most of them because I am a advocate Face Book user and I share a lot of material there. This will just be another way to share my blessings in hopes for motivation for a few that might not think their life can get better then what it is. Believe me I once believed that same thing but when I started to put my trust in God and started trying to do better in all areas of life things just started looking up for me. There is always light on the other side.
The first blessing I received this year was meeting my now wife Angel Williams right before the start of the new year. I met my wife in October of 2014 I was just coming off some hard falls in my life and was trying to pick myself back up. I was doing OK by working out almost everyday and staying in church but I knew something was still missing. My heart still had an empty space in it. It would be OK during my workouts and church sermons but something was always pulling at my heart like I knew something was there or coming but I did not know what it was yet. I would still hang out a lil to much indulging in things I should not be, hanging with people that were no good for me trying to keep my mind occupied from feeling that empty space. Still hurting from being involved with the devil him self that previous year. People when I say that, I really mean being involved with the devil. If you ever been involved with a person that you felt was one of or probably the most evilest person, most deceitful person, absolutely the most phoniest fake christian you ever met, then you know what I mean when I say being involved with the devil himself. Now when I look back at that time I can truly say that I needed to go through that experience. I learned a lot about fake christians and what to look for when encountering them. I also learned a lot about myself, ways I should change in my self as a man and how to deal with a woman the right way. It was a learning lesson that helped me to become the man I needed to become to prepare for the Angel the Lord was about to give to me. Like my pastor say, we sometime have to go through them bad times to get to the good times so we can appreciate them more and give God the glory for the lesson he taught us.
Now my next blessing this year was meeting my first grandchild. My daughter Kali Curkendall gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on February the 9th Jaxon. This lil fella is the beautifulest baby ever. My baby girl has done such a wonderful job with him. Every picture I see he has the biggest smile or the most adventures look on his face like he is saying,,"what is going on now" lol. I have been a proud grand father and have and will always do what I can do to play my part in his and my daughters life from this day forward.
Then after that I find out that my other baby girl is pregnant with my second grandson. My daughter Shanice Williams is having her first child. this is truly a blessing for me because I believe in my heart that is a way of God slowing her down a little and helping her grow up. My baby has not had the easiest time in life so far. Like all of us she has made some pretty terrible choices when it comes to the people and events in life that she has decided to take part of, but she is making it by the grace of God. I always pray for her and ask God to give her the strength she needs to continue to go on making better choice day by day. My baby and I are pretty close and have shared some really trying and emotional times together. I love her with all my heart and will do what I can emotionally, spiritually and mentally to help her go on to be a beautiful mother and a wonderful woman. I love you baby girl.
Now the biggest blessing of all was being able to marry my best friend, my soul mate, the Angel God gave me. May 9th was the day my beautiful friend and lady became Mrs Maurice Williams. I love my Angel with all my heart and the day I married her was the happiest day ever. Everything, every plan we made up to the day we married worked out to the T. Every I was dotted and every T was crossed up until that day we said I do to each other. We were married at my local church Greater St James Baptist in mims Florida, by my pastor Keith Buckner.
Every moment was wonderful. All my friends and family was there. The ones that were meant to be there. some very important people came together with us to make that day happen. First of all my mother who went out her way to do everything she could to help. I love my mother with all my heart and she was happy as can be. Seeing her that happy was priceless.
My cousin Dorthy McGriff who came from Atlanta to lend a helping hand with cooking and decorations and everything else she could help with. She was awesome and did not sit down until something she was doing was done. I thank her so much and will never forget all her help. I love you cuz to the moon and back. We did not get a good picture of her because she is camera shy.
My sister was awesome as well. she did all the decorations with the help of mom and faye but the idea was all hers. I thank you so much sis. You did a wonderful job. without you I don't know how them decorations would of turned out because the idea I had would of be plain as I don't know what. Thanks again sis and I love you dearly.
To all my helpers who came out and helped without expecting anything in return. I thank you so much, you were all needed and things would not have went as smooth as they did without you three. Thanks so much again and God bless you all. Terry Wilson, Chevelle Woods and Laura Highsmith you were all wonderful. Don't ever forget girls I have a way of showing my appreciate to you all soon. My wife and I will play a part in that.
To my best man,, boy I cant say enough about my home boy. He has been there for me from day one. We have had some good times together and have shared some hurtful times together as well. I cant ask for a better friend then Kevin M Williams. I thank you so much home boy,, you and your fiancee have been the best friends ever. I thank Carmon Ramos soon to be Mrs Carmon Williams for also being a great friend first of all for excepting me into her life when meeting me as Kevin's friend and then excepting my wife as a friend and excepting her like you knew each other for ever. You guys are awesome and I look forward to many more years of friend ship with you both.
I cant forget my lil brother, Cory Jamel Lockhart. who also stood by my side. Thanks for showing your love bro on my special day and also your lil ones Maliek and Mylashia. you all were so beautiful and I loved every moment of having you three be apart of my wedding. I love you all with all my heart and cant wait to see you all again. Also to your wife who lent a helping hand as well. love you guys.
Last but definitely not least. My wife's guardian angel. The one that made some of the most important parts of the our special day come together. We can not thank you enough. Thanking you would be a different blog within itself. You are an awesome friend and I am thankful for you being apart of my wife's life. I am grateful and thankful for meeting you and the Lord allowing you to be my friend through my wife. love you my new friend Amanda Schafer Brainerd.
So I say to all of you that view this blog, this is in no way to boast or brag about the events that have taken place in my life. Its not to say that my life is better then anyone else's. Its just to share my happy moments and to let everyone know that my life has had struggles just as well as the average person. I have had bad times, I have lost loved ones, I have been in situations that I thought I would not be able to make it out of. I think back to some of them and say to myself, "wow, how in the hell did I make it out of that" but the more and more I think about it, I know that it was the grace of God. God has his hands on me and carried me when I needed to be carried and walked beside me the whole way. I hope that you all can look at my life my story and have hope and know that better days are ahead. Just keep the faith, pray, correct your mistakes as best you can. None of us are perfect, but all the Lord ask of us is that we trust in him, ask for his forgiveness and glorify him in every way we can. People we all need God in our life no matter whats going on in your life and the mistakes you make, you need God people.. So God bless and have a bless rest of the year. Love you all. Love from Mr and Mrs Williams.
