About Me
Wherever I go, I do the right thing. I have an uncanny sense of what is right and what is wrong in this world, and I tend to side with the good-guys every time. People reconize this in me, which is why my friends often come to me for advice. People don't see me as judgmental. How could they when I tend to look at an issue from so many sides? Not everybody has the tolerance, or interest, in fairness that I do. But then, not everybody is as motivated as I am to please others. lol

When it comes to pleasing people, I am a pro!! I thrive to have a balance of insight, kindness and understanding of situations around me; which may I add is SO much more developed than most. I am a good sympathizer and empathizer, and which adds to my wisdom. I am curious and interested in my immediate environment and I am concerned with how I fit into the world at large. Trouble and unrest on the other side of the planet might as well be in my backyard. lol I am unusually sensitive to understanding people's plight even when they come from a completely different background. When it comes right down to it, I am a caregiver. I tend to people's immediate problems, and I am good at supporting good causes. Which ever it may be; I look out for people of all skin color, sex or beliefs.

Though sometimes I might feel under-appreciated for my efforts, I rarely embark on a cause for the glory of it. Still, I do appreciate when people applaud my efforts-froom time to time, or admit that they admire my work ethic and dedication. Even if people don't hear it through my modesty, people tend to trust me, and respect my opinion--when it most counts! On a subconscious level, this must have translated into my high-level of confidence about who I am and what I stand for.

As thoughtful as I can be at times, there's still a more spontaneous, adventure-seeking side of me... That combined with my ever-present curiosity leads to a particularly high energy level that people both envy, and want to have around them.

I am warm, giving, knowing, and patient. I go after my goals, but not at the expense of others of course. Even when I have to step on a few toes to get things done, people have a hard time getting frustrated by me. That's probably because my intentions are usually honorable and I emit very natural, positive feelings. Not to mention, I am unusually reliable and responsible.
I am Here for: 
I am to communicate through love, the message of hope, faith and grace. On the other side of this coin, I also look forward to using this as a means of meeting new, exciting and crazy people--with a sense of humor! I need it in my life!! ;)

Hobbies: 
I love music!!! I love drawing, finger painting, anything I can get my hands on!! I love drums! I been playing since 5th grade! I was in a punk/ska band. But sadly we went our separate ways! :( BUT i carry on!!

Favorite TV Shows: 
I rarely watch TV. Infact I do NOT have Cable, Antenna, or any sort of "Rabit Ears" to help me be consumed and converted into a couch potatoe. For all those hardcore TV FANS OUT THERE REST ASSURE.... I do have some favs.... 1) Action News (WPVI) The news (particular by Rick Williams) reminds me (that is the news NOT Rick) this world is desperate need of love.... again. 2) Family Guy But you may say "BUT MIKE YOUR A 'CHRISTIAN'?!" Well actually I am not what is KNOWN as one today. BUT besides that God has a sense of humor---He created me!! (some may differ to that fact). But all jokes aside, Family Guy makes me laugh at myelf, which is something we all need now and then. 3) LAW AND ORDER: CI My favorite LAW AND ORDER used to be SVU but I grown to like Vincent Donofrio and his beautiful protrayal of...himself. jk Um of a sarcastic cop with a gut of a Ape. (What?!) No but yeah I love Law and ORDER (next to Lifetime for Women..... sike im not that gay! (don't tell mom Nick!) So yeah that is about it. The ONLY times inwhich I watch these shows are the rare times I am at my moms house. (ya MOM! The strongest women I know besides Esther... but she is dead.)

How Do Others See MJ?

________________________

People see me as down to earth with a free spirit. I convey my genuineness to others with my ability to focus on what counts. I am not easily swayed by superficial things. I also don't act in fake ways to get ahead or to look better than others. People notice that about me and appreciate it. People intuitively trust me with their secrets. They can see that I am not judgmental, and that appeals to many. I am open and free, yet grounded in the things that really matter.

MJ's Communication Style

________________________

When communicating with others, I am both confident and calm a powerfully appealing combination. I am even demeanor, which means it's rare for me to become upset or overwhelmed. In fact, I am likely to act as a neutralizing force when things get really intense. When I am approached aggressively, I am unlikely to react defensively. It is important for me to stay sensitive and realize that what might appear irrational in others may just be the manifestation of their own self-doubt. I use my strength to have compassion for others.

How is MJ's Romantic Life?

________________________

I have high standards for love, believing in one love that outshines the others. To me, successful romance has two aspects: an emotional connection based on mutual care, and doing things together that me and my partner both love. I believe the person I would want to be with enjoys the unexpected as much as I do. That person should become excited at the prospect of situations with an unknown outcome. My well-suited mate, like I, should enjoy high quality conversations and fulfilling experiences together. I am deep, sincere and willing to take emotional risks. I succeed in romance when I use my intuition and intelligence to choose someone whose compatibility which goes deeper than the surface. I believe I will find someone who will do JUST that and MORE. I sincerely believe that I will find the one whom I was created for. I feel undeserving already for who I believe God one day, so graciously, and even personally will decide to place in my life.

And I end with the following verses: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." AMEN!! :O)

How are you MJ at your best?

________________________

I would love it if every day were full of play and freedom. When I can indulge my creativity, zest for fun and knack for expressing myself, I am at most definitely at my best. For balance in my life, however, it's important for me to build in times of peace, quiet and recovery. Left to my own instincts, I can become overstimulated at times, and exhausted by exploring all of my interests. So I give myself the gift of some downtime. That'll set me up to be really present when I follow my passions for exploration and fun.

How are you MJ at Achieving Success?

_______________________________

I don't need big success to show my self-worth. So what motivate me to do well? As long as I am pleased with what I am doing, there's no need to strive for more. With this combination of traits, I am beautifully suited to finding work that is personally fulfilling and of service to others. I am fortunate to not have self-esteem tied up with external success; so I ask myself what I want to accomplish with all that talent and then enjoy the process...

What Really Motivates You MJ?

________________________

Motivation for me is simple: doing the right thing! I have a crystal clear sense of my values and my settle for nothing less than acting with the utmost integrity. I love to help others, prevent problems and, in general, be the responsible party. I am intensely motivated by my wish to always be part of the solution and to vigorously avoid ever contributing to the problem.

What do you believe in MJ?

_____________________

I believe in no particular religion. I do believe in the mercy, grace and forgiveness proclaimed by The Christ in the Gospels; which are inspiried by the Word of God. I do believe that man has mislead many for thousands of years to believe one way over another in regards to many subjects that devide the church at large. I believe that Truth revealed by God can be seen through His people and His creation; both great and small. I believe that our soul salvation is base on a personal relationship found within His Scriptures; not by man. I believe many believe our Pastor, Priest, or Rabbi over Jesus Himself. I am a follower of Christ; through reliance on His Holy Spirit to guide me into perfect harmony with Him. I am who I am in Christ; who sees not through man, but His Fathers' eyes. I believe that Christianity as we know it today is nothing at all what God intended it to be, noted in the book of Acts. I believe that man has corrupted it with their personal 'truths' and 'convictions' or whatever 'works' for our current 'world'. I believe Christ calls us to be the Church. We have super-sized everything from food, drinks and yes... to the church. We have 5,000 plus members in churches, yet the church still thrives while the sick, poor, hungry, and the homeless thrive to just get through one day relying on another beggar. I think Christ is sending a WAKE UP call to His people--and I am apart of that body. I believe far too long we have believed in Jesus and not actually FOLLOWED Jesus. And we need to begin that journey now. One step, one act of love, one shine at a time.

WHO IS JESUS CHRIST TO YOU MJ?

___________________________

Which in one light or view; can surely be seen and factual. However the Jesus I know is MUCH more then historic and Moral Teacher...

...Jesus the Christ, He is my: Provider, Peace, Answer, Exit, Giver of Life, Authority of Life, Author of my life, Healer, Comforter, Friend, Dad, He is well to sum it all up: THE ONLY THING I NEED to have peace of mind in the world inwhich I walk on.

I feel, like the Apostle Paul; that I too have become or feel as if I am--a Alien. Someone not of this world. My purpose in life is greater then any found or defined in this world. I answer to a higher being; whom personally decided to "take me in" from the cold and bitter world and show me a life that is full of abundance and joy!! This "higher being" is and has become my God. Many claim to be "Christians" and I am in no place to say such claims do not ring true; however we are tested by the fruit inwhich we produce. That being said; as I mentioned above; I am not judgemental. I can't or do not decide to say one is a "Christian" and another isn't; but God knows. God sees a man from his heart not from the outside. He is SO unlike humans; who judge or precieve people to be a certain "way" by the bases or appearance of color of their skin/race, the way they carry themselves, the matter inwhich they dress, and well infact... the sexual orientation of the person at stake.

See God doesn't disqualify ones' ability to serve or to enter His Kingdom through outward deeds or reflections; but by the heart of man. For God said "They anknownledged Me with their lips; but denied Me in their hearts."... our God, my God knows ME personally. I know Jesus sees in me a willingness to "go out and tell", to serve in my community, to help further His Kingdom for not my sake; but His!! Jesus is a personal God; which sets Him apart from all others who claim to be or act as "GoD"... our God is a GREAT AND MERCIFUL GOD! I have been spiritually beaten plenty of times... I have questioned not my salvation; but the fact if God even notices me... to even having a purpose for me being here... When you are left alone in this world with no one to talk to how you feel and the desires on your heart.. where 'man' has left you cold, mislead, and mistreated... you are left broken before the Lord, your God--the very One who KNOWS all THINGS and SEES all THINGS... you suddenly realize how MUCH God knows of His child... more then the 'numbers of hairs on your head ' but to the fact that He KNOWS (actually UNDERSTANDS) where you are in life; simply becaue HE PUT YOU THERE. You become personal with your GOD... you realize just how tiny you are and how undiserving you are to even recieve a tiny speck of His grace and mercy... you seem to grasp the fact of what He truly ask of you on the day of your salvation: EVERYTHING!

See God, our God, my God is in love with who you are and wants FAR MORE then what you even could even think; let alone dream of... His purpose for all of His children--regardless if it pleases man or not--is far beyond on understanding... we have a calling... to be servants of the Truth.

You see, my friend, we no longer belong to ourselves, no longer are we slaved to this world and its ways, no death, no sin can ever say of our worth being. I have realized that my God knows me, I do not have to be noticed, famous or appreciated by any man of any level of authority to be loved, chosen, appreciated and useful by God.

My God Loves ME for who I am... I am considered a rebel, outcast of my time, and a 'sinner' by many simply because of what they precieved to be 'sin'.. but to God... loved, worthy of His grace and forgiviness, and mercy.

For the Word says:

4For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

5Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

6Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

7Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

8The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

Isaiah 56:4-8

THAT IS MY HOPE.
