My Strengths and Weaknesses as a Man!!

My Strengths and Weaknesses as a Man

This is an essay that will focus on my strengths and weaknesses as a person. First, I will have to let go of some of my personal weaknesses. How do I maintain the momentum of growth in my life? I have to realize that my spiritual growth is a choice. How do I finish the course and the race? 1. I must fix a daily time with God. You cannot bear fruit if you are not connected with God. I am guilty of self-hoarding and loathing. Therefore, I had to get myself acquainted with God. We need to be consistent when it comes to God.

     I need to spend quality time with God by praying and reading His word. The reason why I am sinning is because I will admit that I did not spend enough time with God. I am asking God, what exactly does He want with me? 2. I must have my mind on the scriptures. God’s Word is inerrant. If we do not get this in our hearts, we will be spiritually cranky. I must be able to put soul food in my mind rather than porn and illicit music. What I put into my mind, is what it will come out. We have to fill our minds on the Word of God.

      Next, I want to inform all of you that all you need to do are fill your mind with Christ-like activities. 2nd Timothy 2:15 says Study to show thyself approved unto God to be a worker of the Lord. We must rebuild your mind with the word of God. We all have patterns of the hope for our life. How do we make the right choices in our daily lives? What need to be done is look at ourselves in a mirror and ask God who am I as a person? I must pray before I am able to read the Bible each day and night. I must ask God for Hope and enlightenment. I must learn how to speak the truth, and live in the truth. The truth will set you free.

      Also, I will admit that at first, I was very uncomfortable in sharing God’s Word with others. I could not let our minds have a condescending attitude about certain things in my life. I must allow people to be themselves. I must learn to start my day and end it with prayer. Some of my personal hang-ups have a lot to do with my past resentments that I have with myself and other people. In Step 10 of Alcoholics Anonymous it says that we must continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

      Further, my daily inventory consists of housecleaning that I must do with myself and others. James 5:16 says confess your trespasses to one another brethren that you may be healed because the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. What I need to do each day is live in the solution instead of the problem. I must make positive changes for the better.

       My life right now consists of ups and downs of life. It is based on how I live my life in the here and now. The present life always concerned me. This is because I do not have a job. I have earned money from selling my blogs. I have sold at least 10 blogs for a total of $51.00 dollars online.

      In addition, I am not trying to make a profit from writing. I am relaying God’s Message to other people. I am sharing my experience, strength, and hope with others, so that other people can learn on how I became a Christ-like man. I have come a very long way in my personal life. I am a person who is highly educated, very intelligent, articulate, unselfish, kind, polite, respectful, helpful, friendly, brave, bold, considerate, and compassionate. I also have a lot of common sense. My life story consists of the following: I am a person who is not afraid of telling others the truth about me. I am a survivor of physical, mental, emotional, and psychological trauma in my personal life.

      Moreover, I was abused from May 30, 1972 to November 25, 1985 by my stepfather. I have forgiven him for stabbing me with a hook knife. I got stabbed inside of my left forearm by my stepfather. The reason why this happened in the first place is simply because my stepfather tried to kill my little brother over a dice game. I am responsible for telling the police not to send him to jail for attempted murder and felonious assault. I also was involved in sexual immorality for 24 years by affiliating myself with prostitutes in the United States. From June 24, 1986 until July 3, 2010, I had spent over $100,000 dollars on sex.

      Frankly, I had learned life lessons by staying out of trouble and away from mental health institutions in Charlotte, NC and Dayton, Ohio. I have decided to follow Jesus Christ as of February 15, 2015. There is no turning back. I have been clean and sober since Wednesday May 2, 1990 at 7:00PM. I have been clean and sober right now at this time for 28 years 3 months and 18 days. I am a person who hears voices every day since Thursday November 8, 2009. I was a patient at Broughton State Psychiatric Hospital; when I started hearing voices. This is called a principality. This is because the voices that I hear each day are not the Holy Spirit. There are times when I ask God to stop these voices from bothering me. It is scary when I hear things and people’s voices that others do not hear.

      Finally, it is better to tell the truth rather than lie about these things. My own family members disrespect me because they really do not understand mental illness. My siblings do not talk to me anymore because I hear voices. I will admit that I tend to sleep a whole lot from taking an antipsychotic medication called Trilafon. I have been a mental ill patient since Tuesday July 15, 1997 at 10:15AM. I have been having problems with a mental illness and it is affecting my relationships with other people.

      I thank God for being alive every single day of my life. I know that I am a Blogger and a Writer. I have earned my college degree from the University of Toledo on June 12, 1993 and again on June 17, 1995. I have earned my Associates in Applied Sciences in Social Services Technology and my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.

      In Conclusion, I want to tell everyone the whole truth about my situation because it enables me to be sincere about my mental health condition. I want to tell everyone that I have earned my Social Work License for over 20 years now. At this time, I have to renew my Social Work Assistant License from the State of Ohio Marriage & Family Department. I really feel at this time that I have come a long way in my personal life. I am feeling a whole lot better in my personal life right now. I have experience in working in the field of Social Work and Library Administration. I really know that my life at this point has improved tremendously. Thank You Very Much for reading my essay!!
