And after = i finished I thought this is something that the whole church might need to = hear. So tell me what you think. =20 The last part is ment as The devil's mess took them and God MIGHT place the= m somewhere else. Okay write back soon. =20 WWJD =20 --------- Inline attachment follows --------- From: To: quentin_da_servant@hotmail.com, HoPeY D.W. Date: Friday, October 12, 2001 1:24:39 GMT Subject:=20 Yall I know yall are tired and need a brake. But I'm going to let yall kno= w, while yall are taking that brake, the devil is going to come in on that = brake and do his work for you. Hope when i talk to you last, I asked were = you going to be at choir rehearsal and you said, "Why i ain't going to be t= here Sunday." and you are right, but do you have to get all your blessing t= hrough the week, and then give him the praise on sunday. You of all people = know that you don't need to have a sunday moring experience on sunday, you = can have it in a jail tank on tuesday and wendsday. When you are in a rela= tionship, you are going to do all you can to make it work, if you or quenti= n didn't have ride, why didn't yall ask me, have i ever turned yall down. M= ake it work. =20 Quentin, where have you been. I am going to real with ya. When you starte= d coming to the church, You and I was thrilled. I was like finaly, i got so= meone who is on my level who if in case didn't have a right spirit, I could= lift up and if i didn't have the right spirit, he could lift me up. I fel= t that now it's not only me who can get through to these other young men an= d be there sort of mentor. I have help now, i don't have to be the only on= e checking on Matthew, Woyne, Damion, Anthony, Marcus, Mann, Kalid, Howard= , Devin, and not to mention the girls. Now me and him can be there Account= ers, especially for the first four. Well now we don't have to worry about = at least one of the the four, Matthew. I'm not sure, but he doesn't go to= the church anymore, nor his family. And i am not saying it your fault, bu= t you act like if they are not rapping, you don't need to be worried about = them, i'm being real. I always ask you,"Q, have you talk to the boys." =20 =20 I can't stress this enough, Your presence at the church is greatly missed. = And you might say" well, everybody ain't able to have a nine to five, you = got to take what you can get." And that is exactly what the devil wants you= to feel...Notice I never said your presence on suday morning is greatly mi= ssed, i said your presence at the church is. Powertime, Choir Rehearsal, Y= oung adult functions, Afternoon functions, 2nd services, Meetings...You mig= ht not see it, but the only God that some of the people might see is throug= h you. You might say, "Well, if they are going to church just to see me, th= en they are going for the wrong reason." right. But everybody is not on the= same spiritual level as us. They are following by example and if they nev= er see you we may never see them. And Hope you already know how we feel abo= ut you and the kind of spirit your presence bring. =20 Hope I told you in an email before i went to jail that i almost wanted to g= ive up. And i was still considering it when i typed that. Be careful of wha= t you asked because you just might get it. On that day, I was at work. My s= upervisor asked me to take some checks down stairs about 4 floors down. I = waited for an elevator for a good three minutes, and i figured this was my = chance to really talk to God. And i asked hime to give me a renewed spirit= , but not all of sudden. Let it be gradually. I promise, when i said a man= the elevator opened. Well that evening i went to jail. And it was in that= jail tank, God renewed my spirit. Now i can go to choir rehearsal again wi= thout thinking about how much i don't like Andrew, I can still go to church= even though two vital families aren't there (Davis's and the Abrahams), i = can type this letter to yall, and still not worry how yall might see me lat= er. All i am saying is don't wait until you hit rock bottom to be about God= 's business again. It's Real good that you Believe in God and you read you= r Bible. Keep in mind that The devil also belives in God and knows the Bib= le back wards and forwards, He comes to Steal (Davis's and Abrahams) Kill (= Our Spirit) and Destroy (Our Church). =20 Please take heed to what I am saying and I am not saying this because I wan= t to get under yalls skin, i am writing it because i am not holding nothing= in anymore, because thats what got my spirits down in the first place.=20 =20 And still much luv, You know how we do it. =20 WWJD
