Monday Encouragement

All my believers (myself included) could use this encouragement:

 

Women Have No Place In Ministry? Hogwash

 

Do men bother researching before they bark about how women shouldn't be in ministry? Obviously not, because they would know that women were always used to further God's kingdom: Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, Eve: first woman created by God, Sarah: Mother of the Jewish Nation, Rebekah: Intervening wife of Isaac, Rachel: Jacob's wife & Joseph's mother, etc. Women were the reason for a lot of men's success, back then & now. Acts 10:34 (paraphrase)-God is not partial to one group of people over another. In other words, it doesn't matter if someone's a man or woman, if they allow God to use them, he will.

Today's Thought: Believe What You Wish

Honestly, let them believe what they wish. If you know who & what you are, let them look stupid. If someone's stupid enough to believe the bad about a person, those are people you shouldn't want around you, let alone in your life. Get to know people for yourself instead of going off of hearsay. Granted, some people's track record speaks for itself as to how foul they are, but if someone's been cool with you, believe the good about them, but keep your eyes open because people change.

 

Pick-Me

 

All over social media, the term "pick-me" is used on women who call out other women's foolishness to get Amens from men. First, it has nothing to do with getting Amens from men, it's simply women refusing to co-sign each other's foolishness. If that's being a pick-me, so be it.

They're Not Ready For This Conversation

This clip is where the phrase "They're Not Ready For This Conversation" comes from. All I'll say is that truth can be painful.

Be Glad You We’re Excluded

 Repost from Tera Carissa Hodges:

“You’re about to be GLAD you were excluded...”

I follow this woman’s page and she brings that 🔥. Sometimes, people don’t understand why they were excluded, but understand that exclusion can be a blessing. Inclusion isn’t everything, and once I learned that, life has been good. Most times, I had no interest in being included, so was it really a loss? I get it, we all want to be included, but if the inclusion comes at a cost, it’s not worth it.
