Focus. I lost my focus.

I lost my focus on all things positive. 

I wanted straight A’s.

I wanted to lose 15-20lbs.

I wanted to find a job with full time hours.

I wanted to be able to save money for my own place.

I wanted to be apart of a prestigious organization. 

I wanted to get started on one or some of my businesses.

I lost sight of what I wanted to do and where I wanted to end up.

But,

I will not be defeated.

I will not sucuum to depression.

I will not give up.

I will not change my goals to more mediocre ones.

I will overcome my lost battles.

I will win the war.

On the evening of Wednesday, August 11, 1965, Marquette Frye, a 21-year-old African American man, was pulled over by white California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer Lee Minikus on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Minikus was convinced Frye was under the influence and radioed for his car to be impounded. Marquette’s brother Ronald, a passenger in the car, walked to their house nearby, bringing their mother back with him. Backup police officers arrived and attempted to arrest Frye by using physical force to subdue him. As the situation intensified, growing crowds of local residents watching the exchange began yelling and throwing objects at the police officers. Frye’s mother and brother fought with the officers and they were eventually arrested along with Marquette. After the Fryes’ arrests, the crowd continued to grow. Police came to the scene to break up the crowd a few times that night, but were attacked by rocks and concrete. Twenty-nine people were arrested

In this photo, President Barack Obama chats with Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Toni Morrison in the Blue Room of the White House. Thirteen Americans received the prestigious award, which is the highest honor awarded to civilians in the United States. President John F. Kennedy established the honor in 1963. It is presented to those who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”

The White House described Morrison’s contributions:
One of our nation’s most celebrated novelists, Morrison is renowned for works such as Song of Solomon, Jazz, and Beloved, for which she won a Pulitzer Prize in 1988. When she became the first African American woman to win a Nobel Prize in 1993, Morrison’s citation captured her as an author “who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality.” She created the Princeton Atelier at Princeton University to convene artists and students. Morrison continues to write today.

How often are you too busy with your life to see God in it? How often do you get caught up in the game and miss out on experiencing God? How often are you so focused on finding God that you don’t realize He’s standing right in front of you?
