“God won’t allow you to go thru what you can’t come out of. As a matter of fact He the one who is putting you thru it. Pay attention while you’re going thru tho. The people that are around you will show you who they really are and what they really all about. Then it’s up to you to act and move accordingly. You also gotta figure out what part you’ve played in the f**kery. Don’t lie to yourself, protect yourself at all times and don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself and fight back. #WarReady #FreeGame”

The other message is a little more vague, but still alludes to some issues:

“Once you find that peaceful place it’s up to you to protect it at all cost. Don’t allow yourself to get out of character and misplaced. #PEACEFULLYWARREADY”
