Food For Thought




I am always amazed that many misinturpret the word of God. This is due to a lack of knowledge and selfishness and an absolute failure to study and apply.  When one gives their life to Christ fully, things must change. You are no longer the person you were before you accepted Christ in your life as your Lord and Savior. You can not continue down the paths with the same actions as of your past before Christ. Romans 12:2 KJV says it this way - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 Does this mean we are perfect? No. What it means is that we actively make changes that represent Gods teaching and wisdom as He instructed.  I heard it said, if God can't go, I am not going. If God won't do it, I am not doing it.  Many want to claim Christ but live unholy lives making the choices to  represent what God calls unholy.  I am guilty of this in many ways and if your honest you would say so too. God wants your honesty, remember He is the all knowing, all seeing God.  We can seek and have forgiveness when we humble ourselves to God and quiet our spirits and our lives and just lay at the feet of the Lord. Our guilt does not disqualify us it slows the process. Each day we are blessed to wake up, thats our chance to try again.

I seek daily to make changes in my character, my attitude, my way of living, my way of speaking and even my way of thinking. I can admit sometimes I have stinking thinking.  Do I get it right all the time? No. Thats why we are given grace all due to God coming down to earth in the form of man to show and proove that which is good and acceptable.  Are we condemed because we fail? No. God knew that we would thats why Jesus gave His life for us on the cross. Yes, He gave his life, it was not taken from him. Again lack of study for many who would say otherwise. 

 My ending thought is this, do you fully and willingly represent Christ in spirit and in truth? Are you seeking to be the light that we are as His children called to be? The word of God says, what is a man who gains the world to loose his soul.  To be exact Matthew 16:26 KJV says it this way - For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

 Blessings and Lord Bless.

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth,  unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle.  Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement,  physical disability,  missing limbs., mental illness.  These are all unique. Why do I say unique?  Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective...
