Progression

You know when you do a lot in one day, or progress has been made with something!


YEAH, THAT!

It's just a nice thing to feeling to know you've done something, you know!

On another note, I was reading a scripture in Deuteronomy Ch10v16;


'Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.'


This is the revelation I got when reading; what is the reason why men mainly circumcise their genitals? I had a look online, and there were three reasons:


-for an medical indication

-to prevent future disease

-as an act of religious dedication.


I'm excluding the religious dedication point because I'm explaining it in a different way. A lot of men, why they decide to do is solely because when they have foreskin, they need to make the extra effort for it to stay clean; otherwise it can lead to infection-- the point I'm focusing on is the second one; FUTURE disease, and the scripture is speaking to circumcise the foreskin of your heart.


If you don't circumcise that skin, your heart will be infected. Infected with all of the jealously, malice, hatred, unnecessary things that your heart or spirit don't need!

Do you kind of get where I'm getting at here?


The 'circumcision' is getting rid of what will make your heart hard..


Proverbs 28:14 says:


'Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.'


When your heart is hardened, it's a disease because you become heartless, emotionless, and you won't be able to get closer to God because of it...


I hope this makes sense... the point of this is to RENEW your heart, and clear out all of the unnecessary baggage and stress that we hold in our hearts.


Life is too short.


Forgive.

Gonna treat myself..

Was just sitting down.. and thinking, I haven't treated myself for a little while now!


Not sure what I want to do yet, but I have a small idea; I just hope I have the funds to compensate.

We shall see!

Oh, the taboo of it all..

Why are subjects like sex, lesbianism and all of those underlying topics never discussed about, and even if they are brought up, they end up being buried even deeper into the ground?


I don't understand... I mean, sex is something we all do and we've all participated in, in one way or the other, so when talking about, why is there such a stigma?


It's not a shameful thing at all, and wouldn't more things be dealt with if people were brave enough to come out about it? I completely understand that people have their fears about what people will think about them after they talk about it, but at the end of the day they exist, and they are present everyday.


I had a child protection refresher meeting thingy today at work, and the lady presenting the subject spoke about emotional abuse and rape and stuff like that, and she asked the question I just did about how sex and things like that aren't talked about, yet we can talk about everything else so freely.....


It was just a though... why do we find those kinds of topics so embarrassing?

Prayer changes things..

Look at it... the whole Muamba situation...


People like to question the subject of prayer and 'Why bad things happen to good people' Prayer is a genuine communication to God. It's as simple as that. If you don't pray, nothing happens. Nothing is protected. Nothing is dealt with.


But that was by the way.

I wanted to share something so small but so beautiful that happened to me today. At my workplace, on my work email; I have Ecclesiastes 3:11 in my signature, which is the scripture, 'He has made everything beautiful in its time' which I thought was a nice motto for the school, seeing as it's a primary school and they are here until they are 11 years old. Anyway, one of the parents I emailed previously, commented on the scripture and extended her love for the scripture and that she is in a prayer group for the school. We just had a little banter about the bible this morning but I loved how enthusiastic she was to find out there was another believer in her midst.


And that's how it should be. When brethren meet brethren there should be love.


One thing that got into my head was she said at first, the school didn't agree with having a prayer group but with persistence they found there way in and they're witnessing so many changes in the school.


It's a beautiful thing; and it's just NICE!


As for me and prayer, still intact but not as high as it should be; need to get back on my A game.

BUT Can I share a small testimony with you? A couple of weeks ago I had to pay a massive bill of £460. Do not ask. It was a bill for our beloved gas company, because I was moving so I had to get the last bill done and paid. I had ZILCH towards paying this bill. And do you know what happened? The day I got the bill I said to God, 'I need your help, because I don't know how I'm going to pay this bill' The next day (literally) I get a letter from EDF, because that was the company I was with at the previous place I was, and the letter said that I'm due for a refund. I call them now, and the refund is for £306! I had to say THANK YOU GOD! Because at least with that amount, my brother can put an extra £100 and something something pound, but the majority of what I needed was there in the £306 I got a refund for. But refund for what? Why was I even favoured a refund? I haven't lived in that previous property for a while. All I have to say is God is a true God. When you believe and trust in him.. you can't go wrong! I'm still baffled about the whole thing but... it just means God heard me.


Thought to share once again.

Time to change (for real this time)

I'm currently writing this at my desk at work because I have moved house... YET AGAIN.. so there will be a drought of no internet on my part for a little while.
Anywho. Moving to this new place has given me a new sense of.. self.. I guess I can say. You know how no one can make you change until you DECIDE that you want to.
Yeah.. I've decided. There's so many things I need to do.. and there's so much potential that I have within myself and yet other people can see... so let me also bring it out.
It's been said in my ears for so long now, 'Time waits for no one' so.. let me start to implement positive changes in my life.. it's not like I didn't want to.. but I always said to myself 'Oh I have the time.'
And I'm realising new things every single day.. it's time to rise. For real now.


Because we can continue to say it and not act upon it.. but there will be a time where we actually have to make a move.

Just my personal epiphany.

A heavy heart..

Sitting in the dark.. on my laptop in a mood where my mind can drift...
There comes a time where you just really sit and reflect on yourself.
You have to remember that the way we act, we're representing ourselves, and that's what people take. True, we all make mistakes, but the most important thing is to evaluate yourself and so there won't be a next time for a mistake to arise.

My mind is literally scattered and my heart is heavy... God is amazing, he knows who to bring to speak to you at the right time- but then sometimes no one will actually be there because he wants you to directly call out to him in time of distress.

There was a question that was ringing in my ears after my bible study session today, 'Do we only appreciate God when we're in a problem?' because sometimes we forget to appreciate God when everything is ok... and that's a mistake that we make..

So scattered.

God knows.
