Stay In Your Lane

The average highway has 3-4 lanes in each direction, some have 5 if you include major cities, so why can't some people seem to stay in theirs? 

What Discernment Is NOT

 Repost (John Jones)

Gossip is not insight and slander is not wisdom. There are messy people who hide their mess under the word “discernment”. The real proof that God talks to you, is that you don’t talk too much!!

Discernment is an overused term. Everyone claims to have it, but they don’t. Discernment is knowing when (not) to speak. Last I checked, true discernment doesn’t involve stirring up 💩.

Today’s Message: Working Twice As Hard

 Some people give everything they have to accomplish what you take for granted. I call those folks spoiled, because they don’t understand there are those who would love to be in their position. Take someone who was born into adversity, and take someone who had a good start; who do you think appreciates success more? The person born into adversity because they fought for their success. They had to work twice as hard to get where they’re at.

Today’s Message

Doing what’s best for you requires no explanation. If people want to call you selfish, let them. 9 out of 10 times, they would do what’s best for them.

 I serve a God who doesn't let anything we go through go to waste. Meaning, even in the "bad" times He has a way of making all things work together for our good, so that He gets the glory❗️

Never Mock a situation you haven't endured, because when life hits you...you might become everything you ever criticized. 💯 

The above repost puts life in perspective. I don’t mock anyone’s situation because it could happen to me. Life doesn’t cut anyone slack regarding trials: When you mock what someone is battling, a similar or worse situation could hit you, and we’ll see how you handle it.

Question Of The Day: Mannie Miller

 

I think many married couples want singles to experience the joys of marriage: Spending your life with someone who brings out the best in you, so I get why many people think marriage is everyone's end game, but...there are those who used to want marriage until they saw what their parents and other loved ones went through, and they were turned off by that. It takes maturity to deal with the rough times in marriage, and everyone's not cut out for that. Some people have no business being married, and that's fine. Everyone isn't cut out for married life because either they can't find the right person or they don't want the work that comes with making a marriage last; it's not my responsibility to judge. I used to want marriage, but my eyes were open to the reality and now...I'm fine with single life. I move how I want on my time & not someone else's, and I don't check with anyone before I make a decision. I've read many articles of spouses becoming disabled and the person they married ends up bouncing because it's too much work caring for a disabled spouse, but let people tell it...marriage is so great. Then there's the divorce rate: 50% of first marriages end in divorce (of that percentage, women initiate the majority of divorces), and that percentage increases with subsequent marriages. Some marriages are successful because the couple refuses to let anything destroy what God put together. Confession: It would take A LOT, and I mean A LOT for me to trade the single life for married life, because when you're married, you can't think of self, you have to consider the impact of your decisions on your family.
