Rest In Peace Alton Sterling and Philando Castile....

-
Sorry Everyone, I just can't quite get myself together this morning. I followed the story of Alton Sterling a little bit yesterday as tears just streamed down my face. Only to find out of a second video that gave a second angle. I hoped that video would help us understand what happened, but it only broke me even more.


Then I find out about another incident involving Philando Castile in Minnesota.


I just can't understand the why in all of this. I'm trying to stay focused on God throughout. But the pain of it all is something else. I've decided I can't follow these stories, I can only pray. Pray for the families, pray for the communities, pray for the people, pray for our Country. I'm at a complete loss.


I Love You All. Please Be Safe.


Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Mark 4:39
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

Psalm 29:11
The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.

Psalm 37:37
Consider the blameless, observe the upright; a future awaits those who seek peace.a

Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Snow White and the 7... sins (continued)

Hi Family, So on Friday I told you about a couple of things. My love for Disney movies (don't judge people!) and 7 sins per the world and then the 7 per The Word. So since the Lord brought me to the 7 sins per the world first, we are going to follow His lead. His way is best right? So after thinking about the seven dwarfs and the 7 deadly sins... I thought about the characteristics about those sins. And how they are in us, but we don't see them. Maybe not all of the sins, maybe only one. Maybe you are so absolutely faithful and perfect in life that you have none. But for the majority of us, myself included, we have at minimum one of the seven. They are sins that are hidden even from themselves, but like a mirror they can usually see their reflection in others. For example, a prideful person cannot see the spirit of Pride or Arrogance in themselves. But they can see it in others. Because of these types of sins (which for MY OWN purposes, i'll call them behavio

Psalm 51:7 NLT Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean: wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Hi Family! If you know me, in my inner heart, you know that I'm a Disney fan. I had to take the day off work yesterday and I got caught up with the kids watching Disney movies. Starting, of course, with a new Disney movie because Lareina kept asking to watch it. It was Descendants 2. Now, let me be honest, I saw the first Descendants movie and I LOVED IT. LOL! So although I fought and fought not to watch this one for weeks, I still ended up watching it yesterday. I hadn't realized how much I would connect with the movie. Outside of the songs and the dancing and the good vs. evil plot of course. But the message was a really good message about being your own Authentic You. And how important it is to be your own authentic you ESPECIALLY for and around the people you love. Because it's exhausting and truly debilitating (mentally and physically) to try to live up to the ex
