Romans 12:2- GOD'S Word Translation
Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants-what is good, pleasing, and perfect.
The word of GOD says that once we are in him we are no longer of this world, and that we are new creatures. I often find myself wondering if this is true why do I (can't speak for anyone else but myself) spend so much time being off this world,and doing things of this world. If the road is so narrow then why do I conduct construction on it to widen it to fit my lifestyle?
It's funny how we justify the things we do like for example: recently a friend of mine came back to the church, and really started getting into the things of GOD. When I was going through an episode or didn't feel like being very Christians towards others I used her as a crutch. Instead of thinking so and so in new in CHRIST I should be the one setting an example for her I thought well so and so's parent is in the ministry and they act this way so it must be okay for me to do it too. Knowing good and well it wasn't right for me to act/feel that way. The truth of the matter is I am the representative of the Kingdom, and if my duties include not becoming of this world, BUT becoming a light for it then I should do so. That means my actions, attitude, and even the things that come out of my mouth should be considered twice, because in reality just like I used my friend as a crutch to get away with how I felt someone else is watching me...waiting for that opportunity when I can become a crutch to them. By no means am I saying that I should be perfect 24/7 never make a mistake, for if we didn't make mistakes then we wouldn't need CHRIST. But me personally (and this is something I feel very strongly about) I don't think we should cuss, sleep around, say what we want, do what we want, and still say we are a CHRISTIANS, because that is a total mis-representation of who CHRIST is, and what he did for us on that cross.

Psalms 37: 23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Last week I sat at my mechanics lobby area slightly sad about what I had to deal with in life. The people I don't bother, and have left alone in life kept coming back to take me down, and leave me down. I've prayed for them, I prayed for myself to change if it was me. Every time I was done praying for the situation I got a phone call about how the situation has worsen, so I started to just leave it alone and let GOD be GOD. The situation never left me alone always came knocking at my door regardless if I answered or not it kept knocking. I just didn't understand why GOD hasn't taken this out of my life. I mean I'm a pretty good person GOD. I do the best I can I try to lead a lifestyle pleasing to you.  Then today as I sat in service our pastor asked us to hear this repeatedly over and over again. He quoted Psalms 37:23, and broke it down in a way I have never looked at it before. I always read the scripture and thought "Oh okay you do the right thing, live a life that is pleasing to GOD then he will guide you". I never put my situation in to this scripture, and when I put my situation in to this scripture this is how it's translated. Every trial and tribulation you have gone through and are going through it was and is being guided by me. Even when you didn't know me or see me I was there taking the steps to get you where you need to be. Somehow being stuck in my situation didn't seem so bad after that. He has a reason why this keeps happening in my life, and I can honestly say I HAVE NO IDEA what his reason is, but the reminder was good. To know not even a single detail goes without his reason and knowledge. |

OMG! I have so much to write about. Of course the day I wanted to write my lap top wasn't with me, and the house computer was acting retarded....none the less I will write it all soon. Just wanted to post this really quick. Something chessy, something sweet....something SATC
His hello was the end of her endings
Her laugh was the first step down the aisle
His hand would be hers to hold forever
His forever was as simple as her smile
He said "she was what was missing"
She said, instantly she knew
She was a question to be answered
And his answer was "I do"
His hello was the end of her endings
Her laugh was the first step down the aisle
His hand would be hers to hold forever
His forever was as simple as her smile
He said "she was what was missing"
She said, instantly she knew
She was a question to be answered
And his answer was "I do"
