Promises!
2 Peter 1:4 “4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.”
Sometimes we wonder what God promises us, He says in Psalm 37:4 “4. Take delight in the LORD, and HE WILL give you the desires of your heart”. Key word “Will” But you have to do your part. This is a 50/50 relationship. He won’t always go to you, He’ll just wait until your ready to accept that you can’t do this on your own. But Will he meet you more than half way? Of course! Psalms 34:4 “4. God met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears”. We have to understand that God is not like us, He is way different, Sometimes us as human, we forget who God really is. We compare God to Oprah, Or Dr. Phil or Martin Luther King Jr. He is way greater than that, So don’t forget God can’t be compared to anyone, He set the bar so high no one can reach! God never breaks a promise, We just need to learn how to have patience, Remember God will give what he promises, but not in your time, But in His time. So hold on to Gods promise, you won’t regret it.

You just won’t get it!
Sometimes You just won’t get what’s going on. You just have to learn how to trust in Him who has your life under control. It’s been so hard for me lately understanding why things are going the way they are. It’s so frustrating when it doesn’t go your way or how you planed it. One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t always expect things to go your way.
This song kinda talks about what I’ve been going through, kinda! Why fight for someone that won’t fight for you? Why invest your time on someone if they don’t invest their time on you? It has to be a 50/50 thing. yeah sometimes you should give more than 50 but most of the time it should stay 50/50, cause you’ll get tired, and impatience. It’s the truth i can say this from experience. I’ve come to learn that you should only invest your time on someone that invest their time on you, cause if they don’t then that just shows that your the only one trying.
This is not an Emo Blog, More like a life experience blog. Just make sure you fight for someone that’s willing to fight for you.

What are the first thoughts when you hear “I’m proud of you”? What are you reactions when you hear your mom or dad say “Mijo I’m proud of you”? What is it about those 3 words that make you feel so happy, accomplished, successful and great?
Growing up I really didn’t hear those words. I wasn’t a straight A person. I didn’t win spelling Bees. I was just a kid who liked playing video games, a kid who didn’t really care about school. I hated waking up early to go to school and I still hate it. But as a kid I felt more like a failure. In elementary I was a Good boy but when I got in to middle school, oh man, I felt bad for my parents. I would always get into trouble. I would talk back to my teachers, I would verbally abuse them, I wouldn’t let any one step all over me. Am I proud of that no! That’s my past. And it’s there for a reason.
I was the type of kid that had problems with authority and till this day still kind of do. I was a kid that never really had to try to “fit in”, I’m not saying I was the most popular kid in the block but I had my share of friends and crowds. I wasn’t really a follower I was more of a leader, In a sense. I really didn’t like kids that tried hard to fit in. Little did I know I was one of them all along. I would always lie about things I use to do. I always thought if I make myself look cool I would always be accepted. I always told my friends “be yourself, and you’ll fit right in”.
I graduated middle, but not on stage. Oh man when I found out I wasn’t going to graduate on stag I felt like a failure. I felt like the whole world was falling on me. I remember calling my mom telling her I wasn’t going to graduate on stage. I acted like it was all good in front of my friends, but when I left school early that day I walked to the bus stop crying my eyeballs out. I was so lost. It was one of the worst feelings I felt ever. I started high school. I thought to myself, I’m going to do better starting now. Yeah right I got kicked out the first semester. After that everything just went down! I ended up dropping out of high school when I was 17, That’s another story. But as you can see I was I problem child. Never did anything right. But all that changed.
All of that changed when I turned 21, took me a while to grow up. The first time I truly
Remember my parents telling me there proud of me was recently. Man did it feel good. For my dad to tell me those word was so big to me. Now I can actually say I am not a failure! I have a full time job. I live in an apartment , I paid for my own car. Man I’m doing it. I’m actually doing something right. The only reason I’m writing this is because I want kids that are going through what I went through to know there is light at the end of the tunnel! There is hope! Only if you trust in him! A verse that has helped me out through everything is Philippians 4:13 “I can do all thing through him who gives me strength” Man this verse has help me out so much. Another verse that I started proclaiming is Psalm 34:4 “he met me more than halfway, he took my anxious fears away” man just believe in them. And trust in God and things will get better. Not easy! But better! :)
That’s just a little of what I’ve been through. If I can overcome my fears so can you!

FAMILY!!!!!!!!
What does family mean to me? Family means they’re going to be there for you no matter what you do or say. no matter the choices you make they are going to be behind you 100% of the way. Even though they don’t agree, even though they make faces or don’t talk to you for a day or two, they are still going to be there for you.
I’ve come to learn to appreciate what you have now then when it’s gone. You never know when one of them is going to be gone so make every moment special and worth it. You have to make sure your open to them so they can understand you. They might judge you at first but they do it in a loving way! I rather my family judge me then other people. Your family always tells you the truth no matter what.
This year I’ve had lots of my friends lose loved ones and family members. It make me Pray “God please don’t take any of my family!” As much as we pray and hope. It’s going to happen, so we must make sure we are at peace with every family member. Make every moment count. I’ve come to learn nothing last forever, If you think about it’s true! What last forever? Nothing! Everything has a beginning and a end.
My beginning was June, 28,1989 and my end……no one knows but God! Before my end comes i want to make sure I impact at least one person life. I want to start making everyday count. You never know when God’s going to call you up to fight on the other side. I’m not trying to make this emo! I’m just preaching the truth.
Family’s are not meant to be perfect!! They will fail you but one thing is that they will always understand you. Even if you think they don’t they do. So no matter what. Love them like never before. Every time you see them Hug them like never before. I love my family to death! They might not be perfect but they sure are awesome!!!! FRANCO’S ARE ALWAYS ON TOP!!!!!!

Video reblogged from Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
So a couple of weeks ago I blogged about Common’s new song “sweet”. If you read my blog or watched the video you know how intense Common was and angry. Like I said in my previous blog if you have ever heard any of commons songs they are super mellow and classy but he still throws in Ill raps. So my friend David and I were talking about this song a couple of days ago and we were trying to figure out who this song was directed to. Who set Common off!? Turns out this song is directed to Drizzy Drake! Drake performed at Power 106’s Cali Christmas last week and he went on his little hatting spree vent and he called out common saying ” If you have something to say say it to my mutha (beeep) face.” I honestly would chose Common any day over Drake. Common is true to the game and his raps are nothing like the radio. Drake is talented as well but at times he is to soft and goes on that emo love spree. I am just curious how far this is going to go and what Drake is going to come out with.

Last night!
I had to let go! Had to say my goodbyes. Even though I didn’t go see him and pay my respects, I spoke to him. I know he was listening. I tried my best, I really do miss him. I wish I could talk to him about Commons new album. I know he would have loved “Sweet”. But I know I’ll spend time up there with him soon! I can feel it. Only God knows what plans he has for me.
Last night was my last time not caring. I promised myself and God that I’m not going to let these situations get to me anymore! Last night is the last night I get mad! Last night is the last time I do things without thinking. The new year is coming! I need to get ready for what God has for me!
Last night I say bye to my old self! and I welcome the new and improved David Juda Franco that God has made me to be! Only God knows what’s going on in my life! Only God knows the suffering and the hurt I’m going through! Only he knows my pain! I hate attention but sometimes you need it! You need to learn how to control your emotions, But it’s hard to control the new emotions, It’s hard to control emotions you’ve never dealt with. That’s when God comes in and helps you control them.
Last night I welcomed the new journey I’ve entered! Last night I realized I can’t keep acting like this! I have people following me and looking up to me! My little brother looks up to me a lot! And I need to be the best role model I can be for him! I need to stop being selfish! I need to start thinking about the people around me and I need to stop hurting them! Most of all I need to stop hurting myself! I need to stop beating myself up for my past ! I need to stop and let go!!
Only God can help me with this! Please God listen to my cry! Listen to this little boy that’s crying out for help! God Your the only one that can help! God!!!!!!!! Father!!!!!!!! Please Hear me!!!!!!!!! I NEED YOU!!!!!!!
