Simply Me

Been slacking but I’m so back on my job! You know what I have been noticing lately?  People hate being alone. God didn’t intend for anyone to be alone (Genesis 2:18); however, he doesn’t want you giving all your time to someone who could be gone tomorrow! We have to prioritize better. We only pray at night but we talk to everybody and their momma all day, every day and half the time we don’t even like the person. Have we fallen into this mindset of doing and wanting everything we see someone else do or have? We’ve become so entertained by earthly things, we are forgetting the real goal. Don’t lower yourself to find someone that God has not created for you! God gives freely but only if we put him first. Sometimes we have to learn how to be with God and ourselves before we can be with someone else............................................. Just a random thought

All of us at some point have felt shame. Whether for doing the right thing and being told that you think you’re better than everybody or for doing the wrong thing and being criticize for it. Ironically this occurs in the church. It seems like everyone in the church always has a sneaky motive. People are constantly trying to cover their dirt up while bringing everyone else’s dirt out. Psalm 5:9-10 says “My enemies’ mouths do not tell the truth; in their hearts they want to destroy others. God declare them guilty! Let them fall into their own traps” (New Century Version). When I first read this, I thought “is it ok to pray for someone’s demise. If I can be honest with you, I am scared of God. Yea, I talk to him but he is so powerful I often wonder can I say certain things to him? All the while, forgetting he can read my thoughts. Matter of fact, he knows them before I think them. We, as believers, must be careful with what we think. Nobody but Jesus is perfect; yet, we criticize each ot...

Not having a plan scares me!! Everything has to be laid out or I just go crazy. I have friends who seem to be content not doing anything with their lives. I remember taking a semester off from school prior to starting college. It drove me nuts! I hadn’t picked a school, didn’t know squat about college, and it seems whenever you need help, all the know it all’s in your life get amnesia. I was scared. I felt like a failure; however, I didn’t know God was working things out. I applied to a college that just couldn’t get my records together, despite me sending multiple copies. I remember talking to a friend who attended Troy and she said she didn’t have any trouble getting in and loved it, so I applied. I got all my stuff ready in the second week of November! This was never a part of the plan but I failed to realize my plans weren’t always the best. Now that I look back on it, I see the fruit of it. Jeremiah 29:11 says “I know what I am planning for you. I have good plans for you, not pl...

Why do we lie? We hate to be lied to yet a lie can roll off our tongue so smooth we believe it. We demand so much out of every person we place in our lives but yet freeze up when the spotlight is on us to practice what we preach?Are we all hypocrites? Our actions aren't adding up anymore and we're praying to God asking him to remove the hell in our lives when we produce it every time we speak. Is he getting tired of us? God is faithful to those who are faithful to him. Lying isn't being faithful but wait you have to talk to someone to lie to them and we don't talk to God, until we get in trouble and want him to save us. We have to learn to serve him and not expect anything out of it, kinda like a relationship. Ephesians 5:25 says husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church. We love our significant others more than we love our father who supplies our every need...........This is why its so easy to lie and hurt people, we don't have real love. We threw it away...

Waiting doesn't mean simply sitting around until you get what you want. Waiting means you continue to work towards your goals after you've prayed for it. Sometimes we have to better ourselves to recieve our blessings.... Smile every second is an opportunity for change
