Today's Thought: Everybody Isn't Real

 

Being Spoiled Is Not A Good Look-Pt. 2

 

I wrote about this topic a while ago, but I need to refresh this topic because I'm reading about too many adults who call themselves spoiled, and it's ridiculous. 

Today's Thought: Getting Right For Your Child(ren)

 

Parents are their child(ren)'s first teachers. Most of society's problems can be solved with proper home training. I get it, there's no rulebook on parenting and for the most part, it's trial & error, but if a child is doing the same mess they see their parent(s) doing, the parent can't be in their feelings when their child is headed for destruction. The child didn't learn on their own, they got it from their parent(s). Parents need to be real with their children about their mistakes & maybe that child will avoid the pitfalls of their parents.

Thought For Today: Why God, Why?

 

Every seasoned believer has, will have or had their faith tested if they've walked with Jesus for any number of years. I'm no exception, but let's be real: If you have faith and putting in the work, why does it seem like trials are infinite? You're keeping hope alive & the longer the trial, the more your faith level drains. You ask God, "How long?" Sometimes, God will bring you out in a short time, other times...he prolongs suffering. Maybe he's building perseverance & faith, maybe you're not ready for the answer so God has to prune us so when we get the answer, we won't be feeling ourselves like we did this. It's a number of reasons why some trials seem infinite. Let me showcase a few responses from some of my FB friends (these responses were on point)

Wrong Directions

 

Most times, they'll give you wrong directions because they don't want you doing better than them.

Do Black People Love The Struggle?

 

Some of us come up with sayings like: The struggle teaches you to appreciate the breakthrough, or if you're winning all the time, you won't know how to take losses, etc. I get it, we live in a fallen world because of sin, and unfortunately, struggle is a part of life, but at some point, you have to want better out of life. Do other people glorify the struggle? Some do, but others don't.
