Let Me Explain...

Greetings and blessings to you all my fellow strangers (just kidding) I am the strange one in this case. All jokes aside, it has been a while since I've posted anything and to tell you the truth it's been rough. Depression is real and I'm not to the point where I'm in any danger to myself or others but dealing with the loss of  a close loved one is a brand new challenge for me. I'm quite surprised that I've made it thus far but God is so awesome and He always send someone or something my way to reassure me all will work out for the better and that way worse could've been the case if the situation were opposite. I know it's others out there currently suffering like me but let me be the first to tell you, you're never alone. I deal with the same hurt and quite frankly it will never end but that does not mean you got to stop living. If anything a death that hit so close to home should inspire us to live more! I know my little bro would want me to live...

How To Find Peace Within in 4 Ways

We all want peace of mind whether it's dealing with the sarcastic jerks at work or coming home to a bunch of screaming kids or both unfortunately, all you really want is a little peace right? Of course you do! So here are 4 simple ways you can start to promote more peace into your life. 1) Start reading the Word of God No I'm not telling you to join a religious cult full of radicals that believes every sinner is going to hell nor am I telling you to join a church ( highly recommend it) but to read and learn about what God has in store for His people that do right will give you an instant relief and peace of mind like no other. My favorite scripture Psalms 23, "The Lord is my Sheppard I shall not want." Just that alone states that the Lord will guide you through it all and that a child of God should not lack anything! "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures." Meaning God eases my worrying and allows me to rest while He does His thing! The more I read a...

Life Changing Storm

Living in Texas with Harvey looming is anything but pleasant and completely nerve wracking. We have lost our apartment, my clothes and shoes are done and my car has flooded out. As material things can always be replaced, lives can not so with that said if you're like me and feeling frustrated just know God already has a plan for you and I! It won't manifest like we think it will but all in due timing God will come through. It might be an anonymous check being sent by a stranger you never met, could be assistance from your church you never know with the biggest Big Homie of us all! Works forever in mysterious turning chaos into comfort. Deception to Ascension an so on. I ask that everyone reading this please be aware of your surroundings as I have heard people are looting and holding folks at gun point masquerading as someone lending a helping hand. You guys it's really bad out here but I know no mistake was made with this storm. How else was God going to bring us together? ...

It's All Worth It In The End

"Just fight a little longer my friend, it's all worth it in the end. When you got nobody to turn to, just hold on and I'll find you." Absolutely love this song and how much it pertains to my life right now. With the sudden passing of my little brother life has been anything but easy. One of the hardest battles I've ever come across and it is my worst nightmare, but every time I hear this one song it makes me realize how important it is to stay the course. Tragic times like these should only propel us forward. The amount of pain I feel on a daily basis, I kid you not. I want to give up. The tears will not stop words can't explain how I truly feel but I know that I do keep going the sun will only shine brighter! I wanna leave you with the story of Job in the Bible an how he lost everything. Yet he never cursed God or complained but worshipped Him regardless. With that attitude God blessed him 10 times more than what he had! So to my fellow Big Homies and homette...

Big Homie Status Equals Sacrifice

With great responsibility comes sacrifice for anyone that is looking to be a mentor or as I like to call it being the Big Homie. When you reach this status in life, you have to take on a new light. My apologies for the rhyme scheme I can not help it! Any way back to the subject one can not be a big homie if you're still doing shit you know is not good. If you still have the mentality of a 20 year old street kat but you 25 or older then you sir are not allowed to be called a big homie. We're living in a generation where racism is going back 50 plus years and where they'll put anyone in the White House who can start wars with North Korea and you mean to tell me you rather sit and let your lil homies suffer with no knowledge on how to do better and get off the block? You mean to tell me you rather steal and kill from your own kind and have his mama and your mama crying cause one son dead and the other got life in prison? Really that's the kind of legacy you want to be apar...

What's good to all my people out there, to those who are just seeing this for the first time, well this is my first time as a blogger! Allow me to introduce myself my name is Joshua Nichols but best known as The Big Homie Josh! I'm 28 years old and my life's mission is to turn millions of people both men, women and children into the best big homie and homettes on the planet. Yes that is my new word Homettes for my all my ladies out there cause without you all, us Big Homies wouldn't exist!! I started this blog to promote my first book called Big Homie Wisdom and I feel in these times it is more than important, especially for the black community to come together and reach out to the younger generation. More about my story later but I wanted to share a list of 5 Signs you are becoming or are already someone's Big Homie. Before we get started the definition of a Big Homie is someone who is looked up to in regards of their influence on a person's life. Keeping this ...
