Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderfully made I know that full well.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?

When we look into the mirror daily most of us already know that we are the fairest if them all.  As time continues to pass some of see a new wrinkle, pimple or an age spot.  Appearance means a lot in this world around us.  The truth be told we live in a generation when appearance is a number one priority in all cultures.  

Today with social media we are rearing youth that are more concerned with the way they look than their grades or goals for college. We want them to be popular but at whose expense when everyone does not have the luxury of credit cards at 14 and homes valued at $300K. The results of children who feel like you owe them is that they will be selfish and feel like they are due whatever comes their way. The minute you say no you will see a tantrum at the least and a major argument at the greatest. The word tells us in Proverbs 22:6 to train our children.  That simply means we are to say no and teach them responsibility and give them chores.

As Christians we know what our Heavenly Father expects from us. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.  He made us in his image and even though sin tries to disfigure us our Father loves us all. We have his word in that.   We are not what we should be nor are we what we use to be.  We are all moving forward in the hope that one day the image of God will be fully restored in us. Remain steadfast and unmoved by the cares of this world.  God loves you and I do to🥰.

God is the Architect

Hello Beloveds, I know it has been a while since I have written a post, I've been on a sort of blog-hiatus. I've been spending time soul searching, reflecting, and in hope and eager expectation of rebuilding my new endeavors from the last chapter to my next one. After brainstorming, I had to prioritize my life-values goals and assess my life's purpose. Regardless of who or where you are one must prioritize discovering their purpose in life. Psalm 57:2 (AMP) says, I cry out to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf for He completes my purposes. We must trust God's divine plan and let Him be our guide knowing God is the Chief Architect and Master Builder of everything. God will take us through construction sites to shape us for His purposes. God sees the big picture. He knows the plans that He has for us, He has a specific plan for each one of us. God’s plan for our life must be consulted with the chief architect, God Himself; the designer, and

Today's Reflection-Wounds of Gossip

-
Once upon a time, an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested and put behind bars for no fault of his own. Days later, the poor man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.  In court, the old man told the judge, ‘ They were just random comments, they did not harm anyone.’ The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man,  ‘write all the bad things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut it up into little pieces and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, you come back to hear the sentence.’   The next day, the judge told the old man,  ‘Before receiving the sentence, I want you to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window yesterday.  The old man said,  ‘I cannot do that. The wind spread them all over the place and I will not know where to find them . "Then the judge replied,  ‘The s

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Always pack your umbrella. Umbrellas can provide coverage and protection from the sun, the wind, the rain and anything that fall on you. It could be a sudden shower or downpour accompanied by hail or wind, notice there are many types of umbrellas to suit your rain needs and climate. Whatever type of umbrella you utilize to accommodate your need, it does not stop the rain from falling however it will offer you the coverage you require. Choose to be under God's umbrella of protection and He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you may s
