Age-Appropriate Truth For Kids

Today's children have more to contend with than we (adults) had as children. When adults were children, there were concerns, but nothing like what kids face today. A lot of what I see is why I refuse to bring children into this decrepit society. What was unacceptable then is acceptable now. At what age can parents keep it real with their kids about life's harsh realities? I get it...kids should have a carefree childhood, but so many of them don't through no fault of their own. In some cases, kids are taking on adult responsibility. I feel parents should stop being scared & keep it real with their children about the cruel world they will grow up in. That means having answers for the hard questions. I'll put it this way: Kids can get the real about life from their parents or friends, what's it going to be? When their peers give them information about life, they may be misinformed because they're finding their way as well. I applaud parents who keep it real with their children about this cold world, no matter how uncomfortable it makes them feel. Given today's racial climate, black parents can't afford NOT to have tough conversations with their children about race.

Don’t Tolerate Toxicity

Let’s get OUT of the habit of telling people “Well that’s still your mom. That’s still your dad. That’s still your brother. That’s still your sister.” TOXIC IS TOXIC. Whether it’s family or NOT. You are allowed to walk away from people who CONSTANTLY hurt you. You are allowed to walk away from people who’ve ABUSED you. You are allowed to walk away from people who don’t LOVE you. You are allowed to create boundaries. You are allowed to choose YOUR breaking point. Stop encouraging people to deal with toxicity and drama. You don’t owe ANYONE an explanation for taking care of YOUR mental health‼️‼️‼️‼️

Peace of mind!

Sharing The Gospel

Christians, stop forcing God on people who don’t want to hear it. Matthew 10:14 (paraphrase)-If anyone doesn’t accept you, keep it moving. Believers are called to share the gospel. What the recipient does with it is on them. 

Monday Prayer

God, I’m so thankful that the Scriptures are filled with Your promises. Help me to cling to what I know is true. Remind me of Your faithfulness. When I am tempted to forget what You’ve done or how You’ve shown Yourself faithful, cause my heart to remember. Keep me steadfast. Amen 

Sunday Inspiration

When we don’t feel God’s peace, we need to reassure ourselves of God’s confidence. He can take care of all our worries when we cast them on Him.

What seems major to us, is nothing for God. There’s nothing God can’t do. 

Fake Christians Serve Fake Gods

Imagine serving a God who’s not strong enough to keep you from the torments of Hell. Fake Christians serve fake Gods!
