LEAD SOLDIERS

"Give me 26 lead soldiers and I'll conquer the world," Karl Marx once said(referring to the 26 letters of our alphabet.) With our words, we have the power to build up or tear down, to comfort or to inflict pain, to bind up or to set free; yet we so easily look down on others and call them weak, worthless, or dumb with the utmost ease. As I begin my first ever blogging experience, I'd like to give everyone a glimpse at the effect that words have had on our lives. Enjoy!! **SYLKY**

Thank You!

I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW MY GRATITUDE TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:

To all those who kicked me when I was down. To all those who doubted I would make it this far. To all those who said they had my back, yet at the slightest sign of trouble were no where to be found. To all those who talked about me behind my back. To the ONE who broke my heart. To all those who took advantage of my feelings. To all those who disappointed me. To all those who turned their backs to me when I needed them the most. To all those who used me. To all those who said they were my friends, yet spread rumors about me they knew weren't true. To all those who loved me only when it was convenient to them. To all those who lied about me to get themselves out of trouble. To all those who tried to make me feel 2 inches tall. To all those who said they loved me, yet were always too busy when I need someone to talk to. To all those who called me their enemy. To all those who never held my hand or gave me a shoulder to cry on. To all those who constantly pointed out my mistakes. To all those who cheated or stole from me. To all those who denied me a helping hand. To all those who always focused on condemning me. To all those who have done me wrong. To all those who have judged me. To all those who have shut the door in my face. To all those who have left me with an outstretched hand. To all those who turned their noses up at me. To all those who only looked for me when I was in prosperity. To all those who just secluded me from their lives completely. To all those self-proclaimed experts on my life who never once took the time to talk to me, yet made it their duty to gossip about me daily. To all those who have crossed to the other side of the road when they saw me walking by. To all those who envied me. To all those who criticized me or treated me like an outsider because of my music or the way I dress. To all those who tried to be a stumbling block. To all those who tried to ruin my testimony. And to all those who actually prayed for the downfall of my ministry.

I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart! In one way or another, you have each played an important part of my life. Without the motivation you stirred up in me, I wouldn't be as blessed as I am today. Without your constant abuse, I would've never grown, matured, or awakened the true potential inside of me. Without the pain you've caused me, I would've never been pushed to run back to the arms of the only One --GOD-- who was able to lift me up with new strength so I could reach this next dimension. So, thank you all again. May you too, one day, find renewed strength and comfort in His arms.
