You May Think I’m Insane

     I haven’t been blogging a lot lately because I’ve been on the grind. Believe it or not it takes up to 3 hrs on average for me to do it and edit the video. I think I’m just going to start doing it two or three days a week. That way I can use that time doing other things.

     I‘ve had another thing to happen recently that has caused me to alter a lot of my training. This has forced me to do a lot on my own. I’m not sweating it because I don’t look at the things that surround me only my goals!! I’ve learned that everything that happens always pushes me closer to where I’m supposed to be, because my steps are ordered. I’ve gotten more done in the last two weeks than I have in years due to injuries and other things. I’m now totally healthy and focused because I’m passed hungry now I’m starving!!

     I refuse to settle for anything less than greatness! When I go out I’m always day dreaming and thinking of how it will be when I achieve greatness! I go out to eat and see pictures of Jordan and others and think one day my picture will be up there with them.

     When this journey is over and I tell my story people will truly see that this was a faith walk. It takes faith or insanity to go after something when neither you nor anyone else can see how it’s possible. If you could see every road block and distraction that has tried to stop me it has to be faith or insanity. We all will see soon enough! It doesn’t take faith to do anything that looks logical or can be mapped out. All that takes is a plan, hard work, maybe knowing the right people, and discipline.

     They started the first day driving to Maryland 4 ½ yrs ago and have yet to stop but neither have I! Leslie my girlfriend at the time made the drive with me. On that drive we hydroplaned badly across a major busy highway into the median almost going into the other side of the highway. She was screaming! I was totally calm holding one are across her chest to protect her and the other on the steering wheel while in the air. When we stopped she was afraid and crying. I comforted her and told her that everything was going to be ok because I have to go to Rome. She knew I was referring to the story of Paul in the bible. No matter who or what came against him he would still make it to Rome because God was with him. I got out checked the car and drove about eight more hours to Maryland with grass stuck all over my car.

     Leslie talked to my mom after this and told her how calm I was through it giving her more details and that she had never seen anything like that before. I remember my mom on the phone saying who don’t get afraid when something like that happens something is wrong with you. I tried to explain to her that I had faith and believed that God was with me and nothing could kill me until I fulfilled my purpose. My buddy Jim Kelly use to always jokes at me about stuff like that, saying stuff like every one put their seat belt on except for Marshall because he can’t die because he’s on a mission for God Burp!!!!hahahahaha.

     Most people look at these T.V. ministries and prosperity churches and get the wrong picture. They think that nothing bad will happen to them and that all they have to do is name it and claim it and they get what they want like magic lol. I don’t know where this came from because it’s not true or in the bible. A matter of fact Christ said to truly follow him comes with a cost. One cost was that you must suffer and bare your cross as he did.

     So, I know that many things will happen that I won’t understand that will even make me wish death or kill me but I also know that he promises to be with me every step of the way and everything that I lose here on his behalf will be given back multiplied. So when I lose something I’ve learned to say thank you even though it doesn’t feel good, because it only means a supersized upgrade is coming eventually. I’ve seen this happen so many times. People will always account it for something else but I’ve learned not to care if they don’t see, because if they don’t it’s because they didn’t want too!
