me, getting mad because my husbands mom was manipulating him
and he wasn’t even aware
because its soooooooooo subtle
then, 2 weeks later realizing different situations
where my parents manipulated me to
feel one way or another
just so that they can have their way…
me, also realizing that sometimes the people who are being manipulated by their parents can’t tell before its too late
and the damage is done…
and the worst part is
we still blame ourselves
If you really liked someone it is normal to miss them. Even if it’s been six months of not talking to them. Sometimes, even if you don’t care anymore or at least not as much an in the beginning, you crave them. You don’t crave them for sex or anything like that. No, you just crave their kisses, their hugs, talking to them. You crave their presence. And the thought that you’re not even able to talk to them as a friend hurts.
When it’s a TIME just to RELAX. 🤗🤗

No one is made to be perfect
Everyone is made to be strong
When we tear each other down
We only destroy ourselves
Our foundations are built of trust
Lies serve only to obliterate
Viciousness and slander are the tools of the weak
Helping them only to fall further
We must stop trying to top and topple each other
Together we can reach the stars
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 🕊Romans 14:3 KJV
This photo was taken by my sister at Dubai Creek Harbour. Aside from the picturesque cityscape, it is actually the perfect spot to see the sunset.
There were a lot of birds in that area, but only one stood out. If you could see closely above me on the photo, you’ll see the main attraction. 😊 Among all the birds in the vicinity, this bird was flying solo. It was in the right place at the right time. ❤
I always believed that nothing is a coincidence. Every second and every micro movement in all instances, happens because He allows it to. 😊 and we all know that all things work together for good to those who love Him. ❤
Things may not be as you thought it would be, but in my experience and my testimony, the outcome turned out better than what I could ever imagine. Happens all the time! You just have to trust and obey. Praise God forever and ever! Amen! 🌷
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:2-4 KJV)
Honesty time. Ok, so this pandemic is longer than I thought it would be and spiritually, I have been in a weird space. I have not been feeling connected to God at all and frankly have just felt as if I was out in the world, wandering. There were some things I was hoping to accomplish by now that I haven’t, and some prayers that just seemingly were going unanswered. So, like the good Christian that I am, I did the good Christian thing and stopped talking to God. Of course, I prayed my normal prayers with my kiddos and hubby, our normal Lord’s prayer and even added in some Psalms 91 because the pandemic and life is still so real. Recently, I was sitting and watching a church service and heard the pastor say, could God trust you, as he quoted Malachi referencing tithe and offerings. I began to think about all the things I was trying to accomplish and how they were not progressing, the depression I was in and the overwhelming stress I was experiencing and chalked it all up to “God must not trust me.” I recalled when I was a little girl my mother would say things like “take care of your things so God can trust you with other things” and “You have to show God he can trust you.” The guilt and shame that hit me came at oddly wonderful time. I was in a low space. Low enough to recognize, this saying was not from God and because I question just about everything, I went into full investigation mode. I have come to find that a lot of the things we say in our Christian walk that sounds good and appears to be from and of God, are completely wrong and contrary to his word.
There I was, searching and searching for a scripture or anything that said, “God…trusts…us.” I finally closed google and after reading several scriptures on trust, I finally just asked, “God do you trust me?” I must admit I was offended by his very straightforward, “No.” I said to myself, “wait Lord…maybe you didn’t hear me correctly.” After asking again, I got the same answer. In my mind, I promise I heard God answer, “Nah Bruh.” Me being me, I needed an explanation. Why didn’t God trust me. Not one time in my research did I ever land on a verse that said trust man. Instead it was always, in variations, “trust God, and put your trust in the Lord.” I said, “God, why then do you contend with me?” God’s answer, “Because of Me.” (meaning himself) So often, we make everything about us that we have even convinced ourselves that God finds us trustworthy. We serve a God whom states that after searching for someone worthy enough to swear an oath on His own word by, He found none greater or more trustworthy than himself and proceeded to swear by himself on His own word. His explanation to me was so simple and yet so profound. “It’s the God in me that God trusts.” God only trust his own word because it alone is true. So many times, I, like many of you, have been guilted into thinking that God couldn’t trust me and could have saved myself a ton of stress by acknowledging that God doesn’t and God won’t.
My weird space was due to way too much self-indulgence. All the pressure I have put on myself because I had believed in clichés that are so common they seemed true. If God never tells us to trust us, why would He? I am remised at how often I have exalted myself, by removing my loving Father from his throne and taking His place to govern my own life. Repeatedly, God reminds us to trust him because He will only trust His word. Even the angels only hearken to the voice of God. But what about us? God says, “I have not left you without an advocate that dwells inside of you.” He says, “I will pour out MY spirit on all people.” He goes even further “It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to trust in humans.” Because it is the God in us, that God trusts.
We must stop asking people…humans…mere mortals…man, can God trust them, because it sounds good and we want them to do better, because the answer will always be NO. However, we must put the onus of trust back on God. That God would fill us so that we would have something inside of us for His word to stand on. Fill us that when we speak, it sounds like you God, and angels move. I’m convinced, these trust issues I once had, I shall see them no more and I am grateful that it is not a burden I have to bear. God is God alone, not me. I cannot be trusted, but God and Him in me, can.
Today I felt great until you caused me to hurt in my heart. Then you say you wanna leave me because you don’t trust me.
NEWS FLASH! I don’t trust you too! So where does that leave us?
