For as long as I could remember , I've always wanted to be a writer. Well, not just any writer, but a writer that used ones, God given talents to help make a difference,in a world that is tainted by, drugs, lies, wars, corruption and most of all lack of biblical teachings.
As, I am getting ready to celebrate my 32ND birthday, I like to go back and reflect to when I was a child, and the essence of being a kid, when I was a child, I loved saying the pledge of allegiance with pride, and sing my country "Tis of thee " But, then it happened, politics and greed, and false doctrines appeared. Still, in my head all I can here "One nation under God"
Ok, so many of you by now, are wondering what does this have to do with Sir Tyler Perry? Well, just like me and many others Tyler Perry had a vision and a dream, that he could come out and make movies that could appeal to not only African Americans that went to church, it could relate to all people, who cared about movies that left your heart feeling good, when you left the theatre. He gives you the feeling that if you have faith, hope and belief, you can accomplish anything.
Tyler Perry is by far one of the most influential African Americans that we have today, and he didn't get there with a silver spoon or the Hollywood Royal treatment, he got there by sticking to his vision and staying in faith with God, and lots of perseverance and determination, and that my friends lead us to why I am " Thanking Tyler Perry "
When most people inspire to be like someone, they would typically choose someone that they know either personally or some one thay they can physically see or they have a bond with, when I think about Tyler Perry, I see myself in him. Here is a man that gets told by many studios that the sort of movies he's trying to make. That people not would be able to relate to this, oh how they were so drastically wrong.
Tyler Perry has not only created a multi billion dollar empire with dvd sales, number 1 movies, and great TV shows. He has left a new mark on the world. People are ready for "God hearted" movies that can cater to upscale professionals " The Family that prays together" or to women, that have been so done so wrong, but they learn how to pick themselves back up and not by welfare asisstance " Diary of A Mad Black Woman" and most of all, you can have successful black couples, that also by the grace and strength of God, they can conquer all at the end " Why did I get Married 1 & 2".
Through it all when we watch these movies it caters to all ethic groups and because at the end of the day we are all created "equal" One thing that someone one can never take from you is your character and Gods vision for your life and most of all your faith! As, I continue to go out and do the lords work, I know I will have critics but in the words of Sir Tyler Perry
" Did you know you cant say Jesus in a sitcom? They told me that, and I was like, you gotta be kidding me. If you don't want my God here, you don't want me here either. God has been too good to me, and try to sell out to get some money, It ain't going to happen"
Thank you so very much Tyler for paving the way for my talk show, I know it will be the success that God wants it to be, and my book will help restore souls, that the enemy thought he had won. He is a liar and it ain't no truth in him. This is Gods children's time, and make sure you always pray for your enemies, they get us, were God wants us to be and remember no weapons formed will ever prosper.
Be sure that you never try and destroy someones dreams,and tell them what they can't do, because you never know, who you may have to answer to one day, and when you think you are stealing someone ones ideas, their joy, and most of all " Spirit" you never took it, because what God gives to us, no one can take... AMEN! Hallelujah in the name of JESUS!!!
In honor of all of those who helped make a difference for life, I salute you

I love you and so does God!!
