About being conservative

Here are two truths you should always keep in mind:

(1) True love waits.

(2) True love is worth the wait. 

When tempted to go astray by a fast-living friend, a young Christian woman replied, ‘Any time I want to become like you, I can. But I can never again become the person I was before I made that decision.’

This morning I was going through my morning devotional and I came across this write up that rang very true to me, because the truth is as much as people keep encouraging you to try new things, to live life, to have fun and the likes, the reality is that there are some things that once you do you can't go back to being how you were before. 
I'm not saying you should not do those things, I'm not saying you should not try out things I am not saying you should not have fun. I'm just saying like the young Christian lady said you can become how they want you to be at anytime, anytime you want!! but you can't go back to being who you used to be once you have done some of those things so take your time, take your time very well. Make sure you really really really want to do that thing. Think it true when your mind is sober, think it through passing it through the word of God if it does not agree with the word of God then you should just shelve it. Well even if you don't want to shelve it just keep in mind that once you do it you can't go back to being how you were before you will have to continue forging ahead on that new path.

Finding Balance in Pursuing Your Dreams

 In the journey of pursuing our dreams, it is crucial to find a sense of balance. As we strive to become what our hearts desire, and as we work towards perfection, it is important to maintain balance in our relationships. Sometimes, even those who mean well may not fully comprehend the depth and significance of our dreams. However, it is vital to remember that their lack of understanding does not indicate a lack of care or support. Instead of attacking or shutting them out, we should approach these situations with empathy and understanding. It is important to acknowledge that until our vision is transformed into reality, only a few individuals will truly grasp its essence. Our dreams, often deeply personal and unique to us, may not easily translate into words or concepts that can be fully comprehended by others. This does not diminish the value of our dreams or the significance they hold in our lives. Instead, it highlights the importance of finding a sense of balance and patience as w

Studying Rightly

Hello guys, 2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Did you know that for years I have read this chapter and only related it to spiritual things?  I took it to mean that by studying God's word and the life of heroes of faith I do prove my love for God, and I was right.  It's just that this passage meant a lot more than just studying Spiritual stuff, the truth is that it applies to every part of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, academic, marital, psychological, and even physical aspects.  Putting it simply if people see that you have more knowledge or wisdom on all subject matters they respect you and admire you for it and they are already respecting and admiring God your maker indirectly.  They will try to find the source of your unique depth of knowledge, wisdom, charisma or whatever it is they find attractive about you at that point you can easily tell them it's all

I’d Rather Have Jesus

A little girl had been told many times by a childless couple that if she’d come live with them, they’d give her everything she wanted – a pony and cart, toys, a piano, and the likes of it. One day when the couple had been urgent, her father said “Don’t you think you had better go with them?” the little girl looked at him in alarm and cried “Why Daddy, don’t you want me?” “I do” he replied, “but I can’t give you very much and they will give you everything nice.” “But I wouldn’t have you!” she replied as she snuggled up to him. Ask yourself this question “If I was the little girl would I value my Lord above all the nice things the world can offer?” or would I justify my reasons for following the world. Even her father would have understood if she left. Even her father did not realize how much he meant to her; he didn’t realize that being with him was more valuable to her than having all the nice things “but I can’t give you very much he had said” he did not realize the value of fel
