A Real Flex

 A real flex is just being yourself in a world where people live for an image.

Esther Rowe: Why Men Don’t Share Pain

 Men don't like sharing their pain with women for the same reason parents don't like sharing their pain with children.

They don't think you can handle it, and they think they'll look lesser in your eyes.

And the thing is, they're usually right about both of those things.

Why would a man share these things with a woman? What is she going to do about it? Save him? Respect him more? No. She'll worry about him, but she'll also begin to lose confidence in him.

That's the thing about being a leader. You don't keep the job if you're not cut out for it.

And when a man opens up like a mother sharing her most intimate anxieties with her child, there's a sense of regret and shame with having burdened a weaker soul with horrors not meant for them. There's a type of disgust with one's self for failing to contain the suffering.

And of course the very best of women, like a child, would most earnestly want to help. They would. They hate the idea you suffer alone, and would love to help you feel better. It's not that they don't care. They do. It's just that this pain isn't meant for them.

Even when men are hurting, they're putting you first, protecting you, shielding you from burden.

Remember that next time you say a man isn't in touch with his emotions.

He is. And that's why he does his best not to subject you to his most personal horrors.

If something is up with him, don't ask him what it is. Let him protect you and maintain his dignity. Do sweet little things for him. Be his ignorant comfort. He will appreciate it and be vitalized with the morale he needs to defeat his demons.

Nagging achieves the opposite.

Throwback Thursday: Truth Is…

 #TheTruthIs that women expect men to love them unconditionally, junk included. Let a man request the same, and it's a problem.

Daniel 12:3 NLT

”Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.“

Turning The Page

 If we’re not on the same page, I’m turning. As I get older, I turn pages quick!

The End Times Are Coming

The Bible says the first time God destroyed the earth by water and he promised to never do that again. (The real meaning of the Rainbow) he went on to say I will destroy it by fire the second time. I won’t pretend I understand all of the book of Revelation, but I do understand I wish to spend eternity in Heaven. I have been hearing about the second coming of Christ and the events unfolding since I was a child. The "Mark of the Beast" Artificial Intelligence,  microchips, no cash/digital currency, total government dependency/control. When we are raising a family, working long hours, some two jobs, lots of things go unnoticed or just get ignored. No one can comprehend how bad it will be, but we see it happening, bit by bit, on the news everyday. While the devil is preparing people for the Anti Christ, God is preparing people for the Rapture. I don’t know when the rapture will take place but I know that I’m not planning to be left behind when that trumpet sounds! I also believe right now that God is giving us a chance to turn our lives around and live according to His will. We need to get the Gospel message out! Until the good Lord calls me away from this world to go home, I want to make it clear that I believe in Jesus Christ as the one and only true Lord and Savior. Despite the fact that I am human, and I fail a lot, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God Amen. 🤞🏾🩸🤞🏾 

Sunday Encouragement: Who Are They?

 I’m not sure who thought they had the power to crumble you. But, now they’re embarrassed. They did all that talking and you are still walking!
