Cut The Crap

Just like someone has the right to act stupid, another person has the right to call you on your foolishness (if they choose). Stop with the shaming language, because all you're doing is proving the person right. Granted, some people are critical even if you're doing good, but pay them no mind anyway. The way I see it, someone cares about you to call you on your foolishness, and you get upset with them and retort with "Only God Can Judge Me" Yes, God does judge but he sends people to get you back on track before he sends his judgment. When God judges, nothing good comes out of it. That's the problem with a lot of folks, they mistake constructive criticism as judgment. Judgment is accountability for your mistakes, constructive criticism is given to make you better. Some people are used to acting stupid because they have no one getting in their ear. There are folks who want the right to act stupid, and will get upset with you for checking their behavior. That's cool, some folks will let you continue making yourself look crazy. Just don't get upset if someone puts you in your place & dares you to move. Not everyone is about foolishness, loved ones or strangers.

You Don't Reap What You Don't Sow


The person mentioned in this tweet posted this on her Facebook page, and it was too good not to share. It speaks to the gimme, gimme mentality that exists in Christians. A lot of Christians want manifestation in their lives, but haven't planted seeds. How does that work? It doesn't. The Law Of Reciprocity states that you get what you give. If you give out bad vibes, you will get them in return. There's no one to blame but yourself because you put negativity into the atmosphere. The pastor can ask the congregation to give above the tithe & offering for missions, and you'll be lucky to find fewer than 100 faithful church members ready to give beyond. As soon as the pastor prays a special blessing over the congregation, the non-givers co-sign like they're entitled to reap from the harvest.
It's like a group of people chipping in on food for the party this weekend, but a select few won't chip in, but want to partake of the food. Everyone wants a seed to manifest, but half of you don't want to sow. You have to sow in order to reap. Would a farmer expect to reap the harvest without toiling daily & planting seeds at the right time? He shouldn't, because he didn't give the ground nothing to work with. It's the same thing in Christianity, you have to sow in order to reap. If you want financial blessing, you follow Biblical principles to get the desired blessing. Some Christians irk me always wanting something for nothing. It doesn't work that way, and it never will because God didn't design sowing and reaping to be one sided. Both feed off each other.

Tough Love: Jeff Green

The following message was posted by FB friend Jeff Green. It's about Tough Love. I don't have anything to add because he said it all right here, read on:
 
Jeff Green

People don't complain about stuff that they don't love!
If people really don't care, then they are not cognizant of what you do.
People that care about you express their concerns, anger, ideas and adoration.
What you call bashing is really tough love.
Nobody gets on a STUPID MF'ERS case about being stupid, and doing STUPID things unless they care.
Folks that don't care, work around you and work to remove you from their surroundings.
It's not the yelling and the so called bashing that you should worry about.
It's the silence!

Women Claiming To Be Kings





James GodChaser Mitchell

"DEAR MISS INDEPENDENT"
See this the foolishness I'm talking about that you just don't seem to get but the TRUTH is "no matter" how self-sufficient you are you can never ever be a KING so stay in your lane!!!

You'll never hear a man utter a similar phrase: Sometimes, the queen is a man. You see how stupid that sounds? Well, that's my sentiment with the above photo. Today's women have gotten beside themselves trying to take on male traits: First, Alpha Female, and now women want to be kings and queens. Where does it stop for some ladies? I have no problem with a woman calling herself Queen IF she carries herself as such; but for her to claim she's a King is crazy. All I know is if I EVER read about a man calling himself queen, he's gonna get it. Ladies, I dig you but make up your minds. Either you're going to be a king or queen, you can't have it both ways.

Voicing Displeasure vs. Arguing

"I would rather listen to my girl argue, fuss and nag every second of every day than to hush her. Telling her to "be quiet & stop complaining," huffing & puffing & rolling your eyes when she wants to express herself makes her cold. Dealing with her mouth is much easier than dealing with her silence..."-Michael McPherson Jr.

"Talk TO her not AT her! Regardless of if you think you're right, you still need to respect her as a woman and value how she feels. It's like she's begging to be heard, then when she speaks, you're listening with the intent to battle back rather than to comprehend."-Michael McPherson Jr.

Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.(Prov 21:19)

Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(Prov 21:9)

A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm.(Prov 21:17)

After reading this man's posts and the following scriptures, I have one thing to say: No real man wants a contentious wife. If the Bible speaks on valuing peace over arguing, why do some women insist on pushing the issue(s)? Let me be clear: Most men don't mind their woman voicing displeasure; it's the constant fighting that irks their nerves. The disconnect comes when some women don't feel heard, so according to them, they resort to nagging because that's the only way their man will hear them. Here's a few responses about this subject:

"His first post just sounds dumb to me. Who wants a nag, man or woman! Now in the second post I do agree with, and it's a 2 way street. It's called respect."-Aundrea Lott-Anderson

Me: There's a difference between voicing feelings when you're not happy & being argumentative, and that's where women get confused.

Ceci: Wait, so a woman is supposed to stay quiet and not voice her feelings if she isn't happy?

A woman is free to voice her feelings, but some women don't know how to pick their battles.. Most men don't have an issue with a woman voicing displeasure, but some women take it to another level and look for a reason to argue. If it's not one thing, it's another. It boils down to importance, what she considers important vs. his version of importance. If a man dismisses his woman's concerns, it means he doesn't consider it important enough for concern (either at that time or ever).
