Prayer and Fast Day 1- You Know What They Say When You Assume....

Because I am a lady I won’t finish that sentence, lol. But I was very upset to be lectured by someone who assumed I didn’t know anything about the Indian history before we did the Bollywood Bridal Shower for my best friend. We knew what things meant what, and we excluded anything that would conflict with us being children of God. So imagine my surprise when I am lectured and told things I already knew. The thing that got me is that this gentleman and I rarely text and he texts me like he has every right to tell me what I can and can not do. All I could think at the time was “Lord, I really want to say what’s on my mind but…..cover me!” SMH, I don’t get men sometimes. I think they’re more complicated than women.

Perfetcing Holiness- Day 1

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.

For the next week, the youth at my church will be having our Youth Convention. Our theme this year is “Perfecting Holiness”. Looking at the theme and than taking a look at myself, I can’t help but wonder: “how can I perfect something that I totally suck at?” I am an honest person, and I will be the first to admit that everyday is a constant battle to just stay holy and pure in deeds (forget about thoughts, lol), and I feel the only way to be able to win that battle is to ask God constantly to renew your mind and thoughts. Everyday is a new day. We must constantly seek the Lord to keep us, the minute we don’t we leave ourselves open to the adversary.
