how do you "delight yourself in the Lord"?
No man can serve two masters...he'll serve one and hate the other.
So why are folks playing games with God? They proclaim to be one with God and yet participate with those and practice with the methods in the LOA (laws of attraction).
It's one or the other, you either trust God or witchcraft which is what loa is.
Your trust in God will never be established until God becomes your sole source.
I think I'm writing this more so for myself and if it helps someone else then awesome.
I think alot and I have a myriad of emotions. The two heavy hitters is rejection and lack of love. While studying for topics to study for next year biblical I came across some info about rejection and love. Rejection is a horrid condition because it makes it nearly impossible for one to to think anything positive of themselves. Growing up in the black church, and yes there is such a thing, I felt rejection alot. Me being me wasn't good enough or was too much. I was suppose to be this yes sir type of negro.That esp in a time of my teens was horrid. Then coupled with family things I rejected myself and God.
Love which is another big issue is something I lack for self. I can love others but then I think how can I if I don't have any for myself. Being my own warden in my life is a burden. To imprison one's self with no bars in front of you is tragic. I for years wondered if I could love,maybe that's why I can't get a man if I tried. To love is to show compassion and understanding. To love is to be obedient when it hurts and make sacrifices for tomorrow. Being abusive to self is the worst thing in the world because you can't leave yourself.
I often times feel silly to have compassion and love for self as that is being too indulgent or too out there. I now see it's because of my church upbringing, why it's so hard.
2013 I don't want to be so hard up. Smiling isn't just something for others it's for me. Taking time for self isn't just for me it's also for others-so I don't smack folks lol. The definition of being a christian I have held for years is done. God made me,he has a purpose for me and my life and the journey is worth it. Showing self love and compassion are the 1st things for me to do in order to be the Christian God made me to be.
Brace yourselves, long story - Mind you I've been working at my company during all of this.
Welp two weeks ago my boss said in a very straight forward way that I need to look for another job or I can be placed on a Performance Improvement Plan. My face must've dropped, he was THAT forward. He said with me looking for another job I will receive a severance (not much); with a Performance Improvement Plan I may be fired and no severance.
Ladies, I felt a weight LIFT UP OFF MY SHOULDERS, I was tearing up in front of him, because I was so HAPPY to be set free from this job. YES, it has been a HORRID experience that will stay with me for ever as a LESSON LEARNED.
Anyways, I told him the next day that I'll look for another job. God is SO SO GOOD and JUST! My manager called me last week to go over the details of me "looking for another job".
- My last day is 90 days from now (approximately).
- The position will not be public; they will hire someone to look for my replacement. (which means -- no embarrassing situations for me).
- I will get a severance if I find a job or not.
- If I can't find a job, I will still get unemployment.
- I can take off as needed to interview for positions.
- (This is my favorite part) He said my employment record will not be tarnish AND they will change my title to my career choice.
My prayer is that God will bless me with the type of career I desire before my end date or I just transition from one job to my NEW job.
Just because an e-mail has an attached photo of Jesus, doesn't mean it's not a chain letter -- a form of witchcraft. Whom God blesses, no man can curse. Amein~

This look more and more like a promotion with benefits... in full!
I praise God for favouring you completely in Jesus' Name. with the desries of your heart.
I have to say this again, M&M...your faith which I was introduced to in September / November 2011, is amazing.
You always come through no matter how badly something appeared. I'm amazed and honoured to know you.
Each time you post about a challenge in your life, I just praising God for the blessings that follow. For surely, God has taken care of all that concerns you, no matter what it is. And I know why, too. It's because you truly believe God. Yeah, you've expressed concern over your challenges, but you always place them in the hands of God and no where else and then God comes through for you.
Totally amazing...totally!
God bless you dear sister... I mean this beyond words. God... Bless... You!

Just wow at the audacity of this....if only people would realize we honor CREATOR and not false g-ds....Lrd, have mercy. At least we are not snakes in suits. Maybe they are talking about those FAKE ceremonies led by white people who charge ohers to worship G-d and fake healing rituals that do harm to souls? Has nothing to do with us as the authentic ones. Good grief. Just name an ethnic group as pagan, will ya? Sheesh! Who are these people?
HUH???? I mean, it's part of personal responsibility to ask someone if you don't know. We ought ask ourselves...is what we say truth? If I don't know exactly, let me ask someone before I end up insulting them.
