I miss the days of just talking to people about the cool movies at the store. It was like walking down the red carpet in Hollywood! 😂😂😂 (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYCJcmr3v8kiaLbRGiFyn_HVZxCKDmZWiO1jQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pastor Mike Mercurio on the First Alliance Crossroads series. Here is a midway pulse. “Who is Jesus to you?” “What impact does Jesus have in your life?” “Where are you on your “Spiritual” crossroads?” Bible Versus: John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

From my favorite devotional, My Upmost for HIS Highest by Oswald Chambers, given by father, when I traveled abroad to France 🇫🇷 in 2004: “Watch God’s cyclones. The only way God sows His saints is by His whirlwind. Are you going to prove an empty pod? It will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of what you have seen. Let God fling you out, and do not go until He does. If you select your own spot, you will prove an empty pod. If God sows you, you will bring forth fruit. It is essential to practise the walk of the feet in the light of the vision.” (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqiuBGrwimFDvGUQ-cesYzNwPJG58i7Tki3W40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Positive energy is contagious! Spread it and you will receive it as well! Remember, even, Jesus wept and appreciated the encouragement of the Holy Spirit and what HIS disciples would become in history and today!

Our modern culture too often focuses on the external looks, but the God describes true beauty as the CHARACTER that is influenced by the Holy Spirit! 🙏🏾 (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cph4JTYryhZXRbAox-nswvy4qP9UtiGEBgZGyE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My interest to volunteer stems from my passion and experience in teaching professionals core IT / Audit Remediation knowledge, skills and abilities over the course of my 17 year career. I enjoy delivering quality IT audit services to important clients and I often looked to for passing on that knowledge, whether through on-the-job training, companywide training to junior professionals or presenting my company’s approach and methodologies at professionals conferences. I believe students at local universities will be inspired with my dedication to teaching, which may translate to increasing the pool of qualified IT Audit professionals in our local District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area.

Love my Spiritual Mother, Mme. Bonhomme. The picture on the top right was taking after she had her Sunday School students memorize the Beatitudes (Matthew Chapter 5).

Jesus teaches us that HIS love hurts when we apply HIS word (the Bible) into our lives. But Jesus does not intend to “hurt” us to put us down as Christians, but to discipline our sinful souls to be in right standing with the Holy Spirit within us. Reverend J. Enock Guerrier once taught me in Bible study class that human beings are made up of three entities: 1) Soul - the real sinful person where our emotions reside) 2) Physical Body - What the physical world can experience through our 5 senses (touch, smell, hear, 3) Spirit - When we are born again, God places HIS Holy SPIRIT within us to CONNECT us with God. Let God’s Holy scripture hurt you to the point of spiritual growth and maturity. (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPlsklgOuLDGWO7atuZG3cCZ206ElR4JzQpMk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

During Black history month, I want to acknowledge the influence of Reverend David Faustin on my spiritual walk. While I was junior entry professional over 15 years ago, Pastor Faustin preached a message entitled to the effect of “BMW” at the First Evan Haitian Church of Maryland! His message resonates with me today as we often wonder why God does not simply GIVE us the tools we need to accomplish God’s purpose in our lives. We often have dreams of grandeur to own our “BMW” to mark out significance in this life. Well, as Pastor Faustin taught that Sunday, the Lord does indeed equip us with our coveted ”BMW” to accomplish God’s will in our lives: that is the ability to “B” Bike, “M”etro and “W”alk our spiritual and natural journey in this life! What a simple message with a powerful truth! God desires us to be “extraordinary” in the “ordinary” mundane tasks of life. #haitianamerican #blackhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CofjQKEOUW5NkrmHSXp4rJ0q0FoNVj5OtVSbdE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Elderleader leadership at FBCSS during the early 2000s. Elder leadership is not a matter of human age, but spiritual maturity and proficiency with one’s divine gifts and talents! All these leaders contributed to the strategic vision, mission and daily maintenance of the activities at FBCSS. Unlike our “go it alone” northern western hemisphere culture, God always promoted “elder leader within HIS church”. #tbt (at First Baptist Church of Silver Spring) https://www.instagram.com/p/CockRXzLIatpqzPjBybf0HBiuZe_xiqLveumrc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First Baptist Church of Silver Spring (FBCSS), The Church Downtown, has always blessed me with a rich diverse experience within our Christ centered faith! Pictured below are the young adults during the church transitions from old building in downtown to the current facility today. We worshipped at the Takoma Park Community Center’s auditorium for several years. I relish the diverse experiences from my fellow sisters and brothers in Christ to include a Cameroon nurse, a white PhD federal worker, an African American elder and of course my former white Sunday School teacher who started off his career as an accountant, but became an entrepreneur for flooring in the area! #trulyblessed #diversity #centeredbyChrist (at Takoma Park Community Center Auditorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaW6EcuVj_RiqVKlFakN3psxvxCk03hXaLXAQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
