A person can tell what I stand for just by reading my blog and that’s for Jesus Christ. As Americans we have the right to vote and regardless of what anyone says or feels the outcome is clear Trump is the president-elect. Every election things flip flops a democrat is placed into the White House then a republican that’s what makes this country great we have the luxury of enforcing change by our say so, which is by our vote.
People are protesting and really there’s nothing that can be done. Trump won and that’s that. We have to respect what has happened. Being a Christian my faith is in Jesus Christ and not man. Worrying, being negative and angry will do nothing at all it solves nothing. What people have to understand is that just because a person voted for Trump doesn’t make them racist it makes them a republican. News flash the people who voted for Trump wasn’t white only but every color so the hateful comments most cease. I have Facebook friends of every race and some of them are Trump supporters. I am not getting salty behind someone else’s choice it’s their right. Question how do people know who voted for Trump unless they say it and apparently regardless of his lack of experience amongst other things didn’t change the outcome. So how do we handle the aftermath of the election? We respect the results and give Trump a chance if he doesn’t do well in four years return back to the polls and allow your voice to be heard just like what happened this time.
I’m praying for our nation that everyone goes forward with an opened mind and open heart. This land is your land this land is my land let’s do the best that we can. Together we stand divided we fall and we will all feel it. I will continue to put my faith in God who’s in control of America and beyond. God is in control of you and me one day we all will see it. Believe that! I don’t have to see God to know who’s really in charge even though He’s shown His power through events in my life several times. Everything will be alright we all just have to believe it the first step is acceptance that will help things to smooth over in a positive way. Blessings to all.
It’s official I have started another new course it’s called Theories of Personality. The whole point of me taking Psychology is for me to be able to counsel people before they get married and after. I want to help people stay happily married. God placed it on my heart to help married people and that’s what I am going to do. Being a blessing to others it’s a dream of mine I love supporting people anyway that I can. The world is filled with negativity and darkness I want to be the light in it.
Anyway back on topic this course got me to thinking about my personality and what influences me to be me. Growing up I believe it was rough for most children when we are coming into our own and trying to find out who we are. For me a huge part of my influence is Christ I am definitely proud to say that too. I’ve always loved to write and help others. Really looking forward to finding out more about myself although this course cannot teach me more about myself than God can. Yeah I said it.
Psalm 139:13-14
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
I was watching Forensic Files and there was a case that was solved by a person’s footprint. That’s right our footprint is just like our hand prints and finger prints, they are unique. Even our shoe prints are unique too because of our weight, the way we walk, height etc. It’s funny how just by watching a television show can make me think about God every time.
It got me to thinking about shoes. LMBO!! Now I know what you are thinking what the heck is Tameeka talking about now? Well I will tell you remember growing up when we would get a new pair of shoes and our parents would tell us that we would have to break our shoes in? New shoes always feel a little bit uncomfortable in the beginning we also have to remember that our old shoes were once new but we outgrew them. I thought of the same analogy with our walk with Christ sometimes when He places us into something new it’s just our fit we just have to break it in we will eventually. God knows what He is doing and the outcome always turns out right even if things feel a little bit tight at first.
Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
So be encouraged and inspired no matter how things look like or feel. The best is yet to come. We walk by faith and not by sight. God is an awesome God.
As I have shared, I am a Christian woman who is on the brink of divorce. Divorce is not right; it affects everyone that’s involved in one way or another, especially the children. Divorce is hard because when you get married, the goal is for it to last forever. I’m very old fashioned, so I was kicking myself the whole time about ever entertaining the thought of divorce. In the beginning, I did what I could to get past the idea of divorce. Besides me feeling like the marriage was a failure what’s more important than my feelings?? God’s, of course, God hates divorce. Even though in the law, it’s written that for specific reasons, God allows divorce the way He feels about divorce is quite the opposite.
The other day I watched a video about divorce that was confirmation so now I am set free about my failed marriage. While I was devastated about things before I have since let go and let God. Believe it or not, good things have come out of my failed marriage. I have grown so much, and I want to help other people before marriage and during too. Marriage is nothing like a relationship; it’s essential for people to understand the seriousness of it. Marriage is far more than a piece of paper if you get involved with a person that thinks that way then you need to find out why.
I have a lot of advice while everyone is different; there are still many things that are the same when it comes to marriage. Number one always treat your spouse with respect, never disrespect them in front of others, and never speak against them to others, even your parents. Number two communicate no one is born a mind reader, so if something is bothering you say it. Number three once you are married, forget the single-minded mentality you are one money and all. When it comes to money, always let your spouse know about all spending and lending. I know people have a crisis, but let your spouse know when you are helping someone. Number four always be loving to your King and Queen I know that life gets busy but still make time for your spouse this is the person whom you want to spend the rest of your life with. Number five above everything keep God first. God gives structure to our lives; I don’t care what anybody says or thinks if God were in my marriage, things would have been better. God is needed; therefore,e He must be consulted about everything. A family that prays together stays together.
I am praying for everyone who is about to get married, who are married and those who are maybe experiencing problems. My prayer is that everyone turns to God for help. There is no problem that He can not solve. I don’t ever want anyone to feel as I do being thankful for a video for confirmation. If I had God as the foundation of the marriage, things would have been different. I’m okay with being able to share my story as a way to help others. I pray that my post will help somebody. God bless everyone. Always keep God number one.
You see I would get upset but
You see I would cry but
You see I would get mad but
You see I would shout but
You see I would stress but
You see I would cave but
You see I would retaliate but
You see I would be hurt but
You see I could but I won’t
The way my faith is set up
God has everything under control
He has a flawless track record
Things can only get better
Luke 1:45
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
So I came across a video on YouTube yesterday and the person was questioning the Bible as well as Christianity. One thing that is always puzzling to me is why are there so many people who feel like they must question the Bible and Christianity. I mean they are nonbelievers so why care so much about our Christian beliefs. Anyway he spoke of having physical evidence that supports the Bible. Look having evidence are my personal testimonies that can not be explained away. Most Christians have testimonies which is evidence even though we don’t need it because we love God that much. Why else is there such a huge Christian following? Millions of people can’t be wrong. America was founded on Christian beliefs. People swear on the Bible in court need I go on?
This is what I have figured out about nonbelievers they just want to do what they want and don’t want to change for the better. Being good, doing good, being smart, being good looking or being rich won’t get you into Heaven. The internet is an excellent tool but it can make people think that they know everything. Newsflash everything on the internet can not be taken at face value. Sometimes being so smart can actually cloud your mind and make one closed minded. Listen faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We can’t see air but we are breathing right. In fact air is the most important thing that we all need in order to live yet we can not see. Hmmmmmm imagine that. I have a problem with people who have to see everything in order to believe it. Having more faith in a chair that it will hold them or more faith in stranger that prepares their food in a restaurant. How weird is that? I don’t push my beliefs on others but I won’t lie I get really offensive when people try to come against what I believe.
Look I have faith in God and I’m a proud Christian if you don’t would to believe fine. But please stop trying to dismiss something that you don’t believe in the first place. A nonbeliever cannot shake my Christian beliefs or make me doubt when God has done so much for me. A human don’t have authority over my faith I don’t care how smart they think that they are it wouldn’t happen. People think that they are so smart that they lose respect for others which only shows you their morals which are very little which says a lot about them as a person. Making yourself feel like your superior based on things from the internet or wherever you got your information from. There is absolutely nothing that no one can tell you that will convince you no matter what is shown or what is told to you. Okay you don’t believe in Christianity I can’t say that I get it but I can ask why does a nonbeliever have so much interest in something that they don’t believe in? Something about Christianity peaks your interest so much that some of you make it your mission to dismiss it. Why? Think about it.
As Bizzle says in his song called Against You it’s so true what he says in his lyrics.
They go:
I think I know what it is father. I finally figured out what it is bout ya. I figured they know that if you exist there’s a lot of sin they love doin they gotta quit father. And the only ones callin it a fairy tale are the ones for which the story doesn’t end as well. Maybe they like it better if they mention hell, like a thief if the law never said he went to jail. I was seekin the truth, found it and I submit already. They just want the truth that agrees with how they feel already. So if they like the sin and they tired of fightin it, they just find another god that don’t mind it then. We got so used to democracy, we think we have the right to vote who we want God to be. God will be God with or without you, honestly. Your father is still your father even if you decide to leave
How far should a Christian go when it comes to helping a person that wants to come to our faith? I hear a lot of Christian musicians speaking of them being a light in dark places. Some of these Christian artist go into clubs and really bad neighborhoods. Still how deep into the darkness can one go and be safe? I know Matthew 18:12 says How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and forth into the mountains, and seeking that which is gone astray? Not questioning the protection of God He has our backs definitely.
It’s important to set some boundaries we all get weak our intentions are always good in the beginning but what happens in the middle and the end. Many are questioning Kirk Franklin’s collaboration with Kanye West. I like to compare situations like these to wearing all white clothes no matter how much you try to keep it clean a spot gets on it somehow. One can only stay so clean against something dirty. How much should we risk our own soul to help someone that’s coming to our faith? As far as I am concerned and I am no expert by far let’s use the analogy of saving a person from falling off of a cliff both people have to do their part or they will both go over the cliff. The same applies to a person who wants to come into our faith we are to welcome them, inspire them and help as much as we can. The key words are” help as much as we can”. No one is above backsliding that’s why it’s important for us to be careful. One has to have the want to to go with the help, things don’t work with help alone in order to have a garden one must plant the seeds for it to grow.
The Truth About Cats and Dogs is my all time favorite movie. Love will happen when it is meant no matter what.
