“ What do yall call “toxic”?? because I really think y'all just use it so loosely and throw it at any situation. Just because you argue with someone and it gets heated, and yall make up is not toxic!!!”
Agreed. If you’re locked in with folks, y’all will fall out from time to time, but as long as y’all make up, that’s cool. My definition of toxic is ongoing drama with someone. If y’all are constantly battling, one or both of you is the problem. At that point, both need to part ways.
As a believer, there's nothing wrong with asking Christians to agree with you in prayer, but the last time I checked, God gave every believer a mouth so what's stopping you from going to God for yourself? I understand the verse that says "When two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst", but some Christians are too lazy to go to God for themselves and instead take the easy way out and ask other believers to pray with them. I seldom ask fellow believers to agree with me in prayer because I figure, I can go directly to God for myself.
If anyone has a problem with you being blessed, have them take it up with Jesus.
No child of God should have to dumb down their blessing(s) because some people will accuse him/her of being prideful.
Power vs. Wisdom, Knowledge & Understanding? I'd rather have Wisdom, Knowledge & Understanding because power is a by-product of the 3. You can have power, but if you don't have the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to use it effectively, then you're nothing more than a tyrant because you'll run amok with no one to reel you in.
A man shouldn't have to ask for permission to lead. When I hear some men asking women to let them lead, I side eye them.

People may not recognize you yet: your boss doesn’t give you credit, relatives discount you and think you don’t have much to offer. You may be overlooked now, but the time is coming when you’re going to be noticed. People are going to recognize your value, your gifts, your talents. God is going to cause you to stand out. You’re going to go from being unnoticed to being in charge, from being not recognized to being the favorite. You couldn’t have made it happen on your own. That’s the blessing on your life.
