My King is Amazing! It has been just one of those bad months. I guess we all go through them right? Sometimes we just feel so alone out here don't we?
I came to San Antonio with high expectations of friends being strong commited christians and I was under the impression that they were on fire for Him. Maybe God is trying to once again have me depend on Him alone. But why?! Why would you not have mentors, role models and friends to walk with too? It is up to God and me I guess. Thank God for God sometimes. He never gives up on people. People give up just the very moment you needed them the most. Time to move on and find new hope in different people? I don't think so. This month of September has been a true test of prayer. No need to get into details. It has a lot to do with my family though. I feel like Jeremiah. His prayer is so perfect for me this month. Read below if you truly dare to see inside my feelings inside.
Jeremiah 20-
14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, who made him very glad, saying, "A child is born to you—a son!"
16 May that man be like the towns the Lord overthrew without pity. May he hear wailing in the morning, a battle cry at noon.
17 For he did not kill me in the womb, with my mother as my grave, her womb enlarged forever.
18 Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow and to end my days in shame?
Wow, now that is amazing how relveant it is. Can you imagine praying such a prayer. My closests friends know my birthday is the hardest time of my life. My loneliest time. I feel like my life should be so much further but yet I stay stuck in Shit somehow. I try to spend it with my closest friends but somehow each time, I feel like the ones who matter most are too busy. Well, not all of them so I don't want you to think nobody is there. But, how hard is a simple birthday call? For the longest time I never even sent cards or thank you notes to people. I sewed poor seeds then and am reaping it now, but I have since changed that because it is invaluable to me and wish to get more than the thought of wandering if anyone is going to even take the time to text. Nope. I need to give more though. Where do you want me lord?! Where am I supposed to be. This burden I carry is not lite and I know you said it should be. So, what am I doing wrong? What a prayer. To pray that the man who pulled you from the womb, who probably lit a cigar and popped the wine cork in celebration while shouting "It's a boy!" should be so cursed for it. Man, he must have had some serious strife in his life. Sometimes I feel the same way. Wondering what if I gave up and left this Earth, but knowing God has more for me. To never give up, but sometimes I feel so alone.
Psalm 46 says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble! Refuge!!! It is said that God created 6 cities where men can find refuge in the event of anything. Say for instance you make a huge mistake and commit manslaughter accidentally. You could run to this city for refuge before the avenger comes for execution. If to be found guilty at which point then you would be handed over to the avenger but this refuge saved many men who were innocent. Thankfully God is our refuge from the storm. But its asking for his refuge. Like I said, in my past life has been difficult at times. This past week in fact has been one of the most difficult weeks I have faced in 2 years. But, we all have our problems and I should not expect the devil to ignore me right? But then I have a great King!
Enjoy this wonderful video for one of the greatest ever. Dr. S.M. Lockridge. I did a search to find out what the S.M stands for...Know what the SM stands for? Shadrach Meshach. Crazy his mom had such an insightful vision to name him that. He is said to be the "T.D. Jakes" of the 60's. Enjoy.

First Step Towards Victory
On Friday, a federal court judge in Utah denied an attempt by convicted felon Barry Minkow and his for-profit company to evade an expedited discovery order that was originally issued on August 1, 2007. As a result of this ruling, Mr. Minkow will be required to respond to written discovery requests, submit requested documents and sit for a 4-hour deposition.
As part of this discovery process and under the penalty of perjury, Mr. Minkow will be asked to reveal a variety of undisclosed information related to his and his unidentified partners' alleged attempt to profit from deliberately driving down USANA's stock price. Specifically, he will be required to identify his financial backers as well as any and all financial institutions, short sellers or individuals with whom he has shared involvement on this matter.
USANA has filed a lawsuit against Mr. Minkow and his for-profit company in U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Central Division, alleging that he has engaged in a public relations campaign to intentionally and illegally manipulate the market for USANA's stock for the economic benefit of himself and his undisclosed associates. USANA is demanding judgment against Mr. Minkow and his undisclosed financial backers and associates including among other remedies, injunctive relief, restitution, damages and recovery of attorney fees and other costs related to defending against the defendants' conduct.
"We are pleased that the judge has recognized the merit of USANA's position that it is entitled to expedited discovery to learn the identity of Mr. Minkow's financial backers and his associates in the investment community who have benefited from illegal stock price manipulation," said D.J. Poyfair, attorney with Shughart, Thomson & Kilroy P.C. and legal counsel to USANA. "We believe Mr. Minkow and his associates have been engaged in a well-coordinated effort to line their pockets through illegal manipulation of USANA's stock price. The fact that nearly 9 million shares, or approximately 125% of the public float, are shorted we think is evidence of stock manipulation. Minkow has already admitted that he will gain financially from a decrease in the company's stock price, and we believe the evidence will demonstrate a deliberate campaign to damage USANA with misinformation and false statements. We look forward to the discovery process and taking this first important step in exposing this crime against USANA."

I was reading a great book by Jim Cramer entitled "Real Money". In that book he talked about all the people he would manipulate into writting articles in the Wall Street Journal. I didn't know all the ins and outs and still don't but it's a shame that it happens. It is not fair, but all things good will prevail. There was a nasty article written up in the Journal about Usana that caused some serious damage. Amazingly, we are going to still make another quarter of consecutive record growth now of 20 quarters. When you are on top for 9 years in a row, people will do anything possible to bring you down. Damn devils. Do your due diligence and get to the truth before reading things at face value. It is not always as you perceive. I mean seriously, Dr. Myron Wentz just received the Albert Einstein World Award for Science. It is given as a means of recognition, and as an incentive to scientific and technological research and development", with special consideration for researchers which "have brought true benefit and well being to mankind." The Albert Einstein World Award for Science, salutes leaders whose vision and commitment have contributed to the critical advancement of vital life-saving and life-enhancing technology to benefit mankind. Dr. Wentz received the award in recognition of his contributions to nutritional science, as well as his many humanitarian endeavors.“I am honored and humbled to receive an award that bears the name of Albert Einstein,” Dr. Wentz said. “As both an extraordinary scientist and dedicated humanitarian, he serves as a great inspiration for my life’s work, helping people lead healthier lives through nutritional science.”That is a serious award people. But you know...maybe its a scam.
