Grandma was Right

-

I remember when I was in highschool there was a particular day my grandma decided to give some advice, ”if I give just one piece of advice to you, don't marry the first guy who asks you."

Well, she was right, that was pretty much the only piece of advice she really gave me. Also, she was right and I'm thankful I listened to her.

I had dated a particular guy on and off for a few years. As much as I cared for him, I never really took him seriously. I guess deep down I knew that regardless of what he said to me, he really didn't take me seriously. Yes, he had asked me to marry him. Needless to say, that didn't happen...

Thank you, grandma, for giving me that piece of advice.

I also thank the Holy Spirit for already working in me back then!

Happy Sunday y'all! Here's today's scripture: Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13:8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.13.8.AMP NIV translation Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.13.8.NIV MSG translation Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself. Hebrews 13:7‭-‬8 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/heb.13.7-8.MSG Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/heb.13.8.TPT It's so great to me, very comforting, to know that God really is always the same! You don't have to worry abo

Ecclesiastes 12 2020

  Hey y’all, and welcome to this month’s Ecclesiastes blog post.   This month is chapter 12 and talks about obeying God’s commandments before your youth leaves you.     ECCLESIASTES 12 1 Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”  2 Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky.  3 Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop. Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly. 4 Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint. 5 Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry abo

Hey y'all! I pray everyone is doing great! The scripture I'm using for this week's Teaching Tuesday Thread is a perfect reminder for our behavior not just for this time of year, but all year round. But love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High; because He Himself is kind and gracious and good to the ungrateful and the wicked. Luke 6:35 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/luk.6.35.AMP So when we, followers of Christ Jesus, talk about love it also includes those we'd rather not be nice to. I'm talking about people that aren't nice to us, right down mean people, even the wicked. Now let's make clear that I'm not saying let them treat you anyway they want, no! I am saying though that we do need to show kindness and giving without expecting anything in return. I'll be the first to adm
