But FIRST….
1. I wanted so bad to host a men’s conference in 2018. Even paid out $1200+ for speaker and travel expenses but no one was signing up… 
On a trip back from Ft. Worth I was rerouted to a detour and in that moment, God made it clear that it would happen but not the way I expected. Even after that I attempted to host it virtually, but to no avail. So I had to swallow my pride and let it be, but several lessons were learned…

So in 2019 when I felt the nudge to honor men for #InternationalMensDay (Nov. 19)… ummm… 1st of all I didn’t have the same financial resources as the year before and there was only maybe a 4 month timeframe for planning so me and Daddy God had to have a little talk. 
3. But I listened!!! Didn’t have to think hard on the 12, even though three eventually declined… 
“Okay, now Lord!!!” (It happens)… I was stretched, yet covered, and God worked it all out as he always does!!!
“Okay, now Lord!!!” (It happens)… I was stretched, yet covered, and God worked it all out as he always does!!! And on this special day last year, I was #BlessedtoBless 11 amazing men and 1 admirable young man (#the12) with the #IAmMBKManofGreatnessAward for their contributions to the community, as well as 3 #EverydayHeroes! God is Good.
I thank each of these guys for allowing me to acknowledge their greatness and using the gifts, skills and talents God gave them to bless others. I leave them with Galatians 6:9 and Matthew 6:4!
I am forever grateful to all those who in someway contributed to this event. There is definitely more to come.
