Antonio Love 2010:”The Year of the Phoenix”

The theme of Antonio Love this year is “The Year of the Phoenix.”  Many people wonder why I have decided to use this as a theme for 2010. Well the phoenix is a sacred bird that never dies.  The phoenix symbolically displays the ability to have a vision and to rise again.   The phoenix at the end of its life builds a nest lays in it and ignites it on fire. The bird and the nest burn fiercely to ashes,   after the smoke and the ashes clear a new phoenix arise.  I am proclaiming that this year begins a new Antonio Love, I have the same mission but different vision.

Isaiah 43:18-19  (King James Version):

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

There is something new that is hovering in the atmosphere of our lives a new destiny a new vision and a new life.  As I have spent the last several months years talking with people. Many individuals’ lives have suffered severe loss, tragedy, and setback. The world is calling for the new, but to have the new, you must give up the old things.   Like the phoenix, our lives burned into fiery ashes though situations and circumstances.  People across the country and including myself,   have seen the devastation of finances, marriages, and health. Like the phoenix, after the smoke clears and the ashes settle, the only creature that remains in the mist of the ashes is a new phoenix. The phoenix is a trademark of our power to begin again or the case of the phoenix rise again.  The lesson that we have learned and the lesson that we are learning allows us to become invincible in our journey through life. My mom always taught me that how you live today affects your legacy. In reality I believe  how you rise to fulfill purpose makes you immortal giving you the ability to live in the lives of future generations.

This year I have committed myself to rise again, to live in the new. 2010 you will see a different Antonio Love, for the phoenix has arisen.
