Thoughts of Self

-

Hi Family

As I studied early this morning, some scriptures jumped out at me. And as we know our God, He knows our thoughts before we realize we even had them. So He did it to me again. He revealed to me that as I age I can’t be concerned with whether or not I’m still as “beautiful” as I was when I was younger. If my love is still attracted to me. If the “world” still finds me acceptable.

Hair will turn gray or it will start to fall out. Wrinkles will come. Eyes will need help seeing. Physical movement slows down. But a man or woman who fears the Lord has a beauty about him/her that never will fade. That beauty is The Word of God that will be ever living within us. The Word, that if we truly believe with all our Faith is true, and live it out. That’s the beauty that will always remain when the superficial is not as strong as it once was. Don’t rely on the beauty of today, but invest in the beauty that will last an eternity.


So the question, at some point for all of us, must begin to change and become “Does he/she see Jesus living in me? Am I walking out what I preach? Am I truly a light to my family/the world?”. Where are your thoughts and concerns today? On you? Or growing the spirit man inside you?

Proverbs 31:30 NLT says:
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.

Isaiah 40:7-8 NLT says:
The grass withers and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the LORD. And so it is with people. The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.






I love you all. Be Blessed Today.

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
