What My Mornings Look Like…

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

— the first hour, and then some

So… once my dreams let go
and morning rolls around…

I open my eyes—
and I’m instantly happy.

I’m glad a new day has begun for me.

I thank God…
tell Him I love Him…
just chill for a moment—
embracing His love for me.

Then I usually lay there for maybe ten minutes…
eyes open… just thinking.

Then I reach over—grab my phone…
reply to my girlfriend’s texts…

They’re always there waiting on me.

She’ll send a photo she took…
or a piece of her art…
a scripture she picked out just for me…
along with her words…

So Supergood to wake up to this…

After hygiene stuff—
I head to the kitchen… get my coffee…
make my way to the couch…

Start my morning devotions…

Two different ones I read…

“Streams in the Desert” — by Lettie Cowman
“My Utmost for His Highest” — by Oswald Chambers

Both from the 1920s…
both deep…
in different ways.

One poetic…
one piercing.

I read…
sit with it.

Think about it.

Then I pray…

I talk to God for a while—
real talk.

Then…

I shut my mouth.

I listen.

To what He has to say…

After that—
headphones on…

I open up YouTube Music
Choose something… then just let it go…

A mix of Christian and secular

Then comes one of my favorite parts—

I grab my guitar.

I try and learn one new song a week, sometimes more

Right now I’ve been learning…

“Infra-Red” — by Three Days Grace
Next up… “Fine Again” — by Seether

Most times…
I don’t use tabs…
don’t look up chords…

I just listen…
play what I hear.

Learning the lyrics are the main thing…
the guitar part I make my own…
in my own style…
usually…

I’ll jam for a while…
have some fun with it…

then it’s back for more coffee ☕️

Headphones back on…

Then I check in—

My ministry platforms…
my YouTube…
my blog…

I respond to people…
read what others are sharing…

I’m not a big commenter—
but I show up lol

Then later I think on…
pray on…
whatever I want to write or post…

or if it’s time for one of my weekly series posts—
I’ll do that…

post on my other Christian platforms…
make a YouTube short sometimes.

Then I hit my workout.

Every day—
except Wednesday and Sunday.

After that—
protein shake…
something to eat…

And yeah…

That’s been my mornings lately.

I’ve been on leave from work for about a month now…

So right now—

My job?

Is just having awesome days 😎

Also… at night… I read the Bible and whatever other book I’m reading… right now it’s Hemingway’s memoir “A Moveable Feast”

After I read… I listen to more music… then I spend a good amount of time praying for others… then I sleep…

Lettie Cowman
Oswald Chambers

Lamentations 3:22–23 (ESV)

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases…
His mercies never come to an end…
they are new every morning…
great is Your faithfulness.”

A Short Story Idea the Lord Gave Me

Yesterday, the Lord dealt with me all day about writing short stories in the future.

He reminded me of a time when I was about 10 years old. I shot and killed a bluebird that was resting on a clothesline. I was so sad. I held it in my hands, crying.

I took it to my mother, thinking we could save it — but it was too late.

Yesterday, God brought that moment back to my mind.

And He gave me an idea for a story… how that bird could represent Christ dying for me.

He also gave me the title

Soft Blued Kings

I spent three hours last night just trying to write the opening sentence. With His help, this is what I came up with

Way up in a lone Georgia pine, proud were the wings of two —
a bird of a father, a son true blue.

This story will take some time.

I’m going to take it slow…
and allow the Lord to help me write every bit of it.

It will be my first short story like this, and maybe the first of many.

A Hidden Track Of Me…

My first impression

I want my first impression to feel like a hidden track —
a quiet glow in a deep place.. carrying a melody of grace beneath the scars…

I don’t have all the answers… but I know Who does…..`-¡-`°<³
I don’t know what the future holds… but I know Who holds the future…..
I’m nothing special… but I’m special to Him…..

I used to live for myself..
Now I try to put others first — it’s my deep place… the place I like to dwell..
Today.. I carry a love for people I never dreamed possible…..`~  ¡- `<³°
To me.. there’s no such thing as a stranger……

Small Poem… Steel-Toed Love… inspired by Thousand Foot Krutch album…

The End Is Where We Begin…

Steel-Toed Love

Kicked in my face.

Kicked into place.

Kicked by Grace.

“Sacred minimalist?? Me?
You think I’m easy?
No.. no…
I require dinner.. a movie..
and maybe… maybe…
a kiss….…a Judas kiss even…”

What book am I reading right now? Well… this one found me more than I found it…

What book are you reading right now?

“The Devils Mistake” by Eira Wulfnothsson and “Celebrate Every Life… Even Mine” by Nan Panman

Not long ago.. I was watching a documentary.. and there was a woman on there who said some things that hit me deep.. I don’t know why.. but her words stuck in my mind.. So I googled her.. Ended up on her website.. Read about her life.. And then I realized why she stood out to me..

She’s an ex-Luciferian occultist who became a Christian…..

That alone fascinated me — but when I found her testimony on YouTube… man.. The depth she was in.. the darkness she lived in.. the way God rescued her… it shook me.. Because I could relate more than I wish I could.. I’ve had my own brushes with that same evil.. I once tried to sell my soul.. I know the pull of that darkness.. I know the cost..

So I reached out…
We ended up emailing..
One thing led to another.. and she invited me into her YouTube community and her podcast.. Pitbulls of the Lord…

She’s smart.. sharp.. grounded.. And because of her past.. she understands the kind of spiritual warfare I’ve been dealing with in a way most people can’t.. She’s been there.. She survived what I almost didn’t…

She’s Roman Catholic, and I’m not — but honestly? I don’t care.. Truth is truth….

Her book is called “The Devil’s Mistake…”
And let me tell you… I couldn’t put it down.. I read the whole thing in a day and a half.. It was powerful.. profound.. it’s on my list of best reads…

Her name is Eira Wulfnothsson..
If any of this sparks something in you — look her up.. You might be surprised by what you find…

Also.. I recently read a friend’s book.. it’s also a Christian testimony story of God’s power and love throughout the life of this woman.. her story is similar to mine and Eira’s…. it’s also tremendously powerful… so check her book out… her name is Nan Panman.. and the book is called “Celebrate Every Life… Even Mine”

I recommend them both…

Both of these books are available on Amazon.. and maybe other places also.. I downloaded both from Kindle…

Below are links for both books…

Yall l have a great day…

I love yall…

Who I Am — And What This Blog Is About

I want to take a moment to explain what I’m doing here on this blog…

First and above all… I love Jesus — 110%…
But I also used to be lost.. and I never want to forget that.. My past lets me relate to anyone who shows up here.. Everything I’ve walked through — the struggles.. the mistakes.. the victories.. the faith — it all shaped who I am today…

And I’ve decided I’m not hiding any of it..

This blog is going to show all of me..

who I was…

who I am now…

and who I’m becoming…

I’m going to pour it out and not hold back..

My ministry is BryanForChrist.. and it reaches far beyond one place.. It includes..

my YouTube channel…

my Grow account…

my WhatsApp ministry…

my mission work in the Philippines..  Singapore.. Argentina.. and now Uganda..

and my ongoing connections with churches and ministries across Florida..

And now here also…

There’s a lot happening — but it all comes down to one mission…
reaching people who need hope… listening to them… talking to them… loving them… all of them…

I’m going to do that by being myself…
My secular side.. my life side.. my faith side.. my Christian heart — it all lives here together…..

So this blog is different.. than my other things going on.. I feel this is my angle of approach.. unique to here…

And trust me…

it’s going to work… I hope 😄… nah just kidding… it will be fine… 😁… regardless though… It will be me… 😎…..,t`¡-<³… ☝️

So pull up a chair…
