What's beeng going on?!?!

Hey Everybody,

I have taken a nice break from my facebook account and I feel like there are so many people wondering if I'm okay. The answer is YES. I'm doing fine. I've been on facebook ever since the days of needing an invitation to access the website. Not once did I take a break and just wasted so much time on the site over the years. But now I'm finding that life does go on outside of facebook lol. I kept my twitter account just so I could have some form of contact but I found that I can't really waste time on twitter like I was on fb. One day I shall return. ALSO go to my youtube page www.youtube.com/mychallwoods and I'll be doing some video blog post and singing and etc. Coming up this season me and my friend Brittnei Woodard will be doing a blog show called "Get your pressure UP" and we'll be discussing some good topics. So that's all for now. Stay tuned!

Best,

Ownership

This is a status that I put up on facebook because people like to place blame and say haters do this and that when really the character is trash. This addresses myself included. But it offers a different perspective on this thing called life. Look!

A sign of growth is the ability to take OWNERSHIP. Not everybody is a hater. Sometimes our character, work ethic, mode of thinking is TRASH and we have to work on improving ourselves instead of placing blame on outside factors. Try OWNERSHIP for a change instead of playing that overrated victim role!

Lessons from the Parking Lot

Good morning people! This morning as I was walking into work I noticed some new "Reserved For" signs in the parking lot. They are new because they are currently place in the 4 spots closest to the door. I might add those spots are highly valued after lunch because I normally move my car but I'm not bitter lol. Anyway so I noticed that these "Reserved For" signs have a slot where a name tag is placed for the person(s) that they are reserved for. Due to the fact that these signs were so new there was no name tag in the slot yet. What really amazed me is that inspite of their being no parties name tag NO ONE parked there. I mean I was even going to try it but my conscious felt so disobedient and I knew that I would worry about my car if I parked in a place that wasn't meant for me, So I found another spot to park. Right then these Bible verses crept into my spirit. Philippians 4:8 ⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Also, Galatians 5:22-23 ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. It made me ask myself what if I were to place spiritual "Reserved For" signs on my thinking, acting, environment and etc??? Just imagine if your heart, mind, body and soul says "Reserved For: JOY" or "Reserved For:PEACE" or "Reserved For:Thinking on things that Have Virtue" or "Reserved For: Praise Worthy thoughts", then those same reserve signs would not authorize just any ol' thought, thing, person etc. to park in a that spot that you have authorized for something else of value. Just imagine how much dysfunction we can avoid if we are on the offensive with what we let into our spaces of value. I'm not saying that our lives will be pain free, NO but I do believe that with those power boundaries better known as "Reserve For" signs on our lives we can strategically find a way to escape a lot of unnecessary situations.

Think about it. So let's get to work.

Transition

It's been a minute since I've written a good blog but I've been dealing with life and now I'm at a point where I can share. I've been dealing with a transitional phase in my life and I've been asking God on what to do and where to go. My heart hurts where I am because I see dysfunction and I know it has the power to change when I call on God's great name. It's a season of getting back to seeing Jesus and knowing Him thru the power of His Word. I have made the choice to not die anymore. I'm choosing life. This transition is scary because its calling me out of a comfort zone but as the time progresses I know that it must be done.

1 Myke 5:2-3

1 Myke 5:2-3, (2) There are 3 things I hate and 4 that are detestable to me. An extremely weak soprano, A tone deaf Alto, a strong and wrong screaming tenor, (3) and a group comprised of all these that can not handle any sound direction.

Sorry?!?! Yeah Right!

You say you're sorry

after you deceive me

and you say "Mychall, don't you believe me?!?!"

Yes I do. I believe that the whole time you've been storing up the hurt

the hurt I feel that was sent by you.

You're a LIAR, I hate... no, I despise you

From jump all I've asked is for you to be, 1 word, TRUE

But NO. I can't get that. Too much like right.

When I'm the one who tried to have your back both day and night

Other man stomped on your heart

had you sad and mad. OH

but wasn't it me, last year birthday time

helped turn that sad to glad or at least tried to

But who knew that you would wait til one of my worst weeks

to add on some more worst times 2

maybe 3

you're mad now but all I did was find out

that you don't really give a **** about me

Masking all these real feelings and saying

"I need to search for truth"

Silly me, I was up here droppin' folk

and now I'm thinking I should drop you

haha the jokes on me cuz you got me 1st

But have no fear cuz it will all blow up

POOF

and everybody will see that the only thing real about your lies...

is that they wore that mask named truth!

SORRY?!?! Yeah Right!

HELLO 2011

Hello Everyone! First, I'd like to say Happy New Year to everyone. I'm so excited for what this year has in store. The year has actually kicked off with a challenge. This challenge is one that I chose but with a lot of hesitation. I'm on an endeavor to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in the year. I'm on a plan where I am responsible for having read 4 chapters a day. I am going in order as well. I doubted myself and have tried to rationalize quitting and this is only the first day. However, as I was reading today I came across something I wanted to share with you all. I have the Life Application New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. As I was reading Genesis chapter 3, it talks about the fall of man and the results of the sin that took place with Adam and Eve in the garden. My version, I call it the Life App, has some notes that I thought were very fitting for me to endure with this reading challenge for the year. I don't just want to read the Bible but I want to really READ the Word and hide as much of it as I can in my heart. My life app notes have a little section on how Satan, the enemy, adversary, devourer, ruler of evil etc has a plan against those who are called Children of God, Christians, the Body of Christ. He uses these 5 steps to get us off of our game:

Step 1: Doubt- Making you question God's Word and His goodness

Step 2: Discouragement: focusing on problems rather than on God

Step 3: Diversion: Making the wrong things seem attractive and makes you want them more than the right things

Step 4: Defeat: Making you feel like a failure so that you don't even try

Step 5: Delay: Putting off something so that it never gets done

Ever since I've started this reading challenge and mind you its just the first day, I have dealt briefly with these tactics. However after having read the Bible, and reminding myself on what I know about God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, I know that God's grace is sufficient in times of my weakness and God's power is made perfect 2 Cor 12:9.

I want to encourage all those who read this. Yes, we celebrate the coming of a New Year however there are somethings that you want to accomplish and the enemy will use those 5 things to attack you but if you go find a few promises of God to stand on, I guarantee that every weapon formed shall not prosper. So if you don't get anything else out of this blog post just know that Mychall has encouraged you to go get under the shadow of the almighty and stay there! Also, go thank God for every weapon formed, that is forming, or will ever form because it WILL NOT prosper. Isaiah 54:17

Ps. I'll be keeping you posted via blog posts about how the reading is going.
