Why am I So Ashamed?????

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 other like we are God. There have been numerous times where I have had some ugly thoughts, especially in church, and then when I forget about it, I’m judged by someone else. Galatians 6:7 says “Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows.” God is not stupid and even though he wants the best for us, he cannot give us that if we continue to shame others.  No one does everything right and never has (Adam&Eve SMH!!) Remember we are all God’s children and he will not sit back and let us disrespect anyone and not punish us.
Love God, others, and lastly yourself,

My Silent Season is a Blessing

So I just graduated about 2 months ago from college with a Bachelors in Applied Computer Science. I picked this major because I thought I was good with technology(that’s another story for another day) and people in IT make great money. You know, everyone is so excited when you graduate but one you get that pretty, expensive piece of paper no one cares. They ask the occasional question “are you working you working yet?” but they don’t really care what you’re doing. You are out in the world miserable, just like them. I thought getting a degree would give me a headstart. I thought I would have a job soon after. It’s been said God laughs at our plans, but honestly I think God has a laughing fit when I’m like “God where are you? It isn’t supposed to go like this…….”. So I made applying to jobs my mission. I even toyed with the idea of moving………broke recent grad who depends on her parents for everything…….yea I moving all right. I even said “well God if I don’t get a job, I...

Sin Part 1

I was reading the bible one day and I ran across this scripture 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?”. It literally blew my mind and made me think “if Jesus lives inside of me, I don’t want him exposed to sin. Jesus is like a parent. We don’t want our parents knowing the sins we commit, but we have no problem taking God along for the ride. When we listen to music that we would be embarrassed for our parents to listen to, we need to be think about Jesus. He is too holy to be caught in the sin we drag him along in. Jesus is our father but when it comes to sin, I think of him as my child. I don’t want my child watching porn so I need to be protecting him from it. Usually when we sin, its for our benefit. We were created to worship God, not ourselves. We do what is right to please God. When he is pleased, he blesses us. P.S this will be continued
