We all have different beliefs, that's fine. We are all free to believe what we want. However, I draw the line at open attacks. This is an attack. Question:
If Christians are accused of "forcing" their beliefs on you when they say "I don't agree with (insert controversial topic)", what then is this billboard?
If the answer given is "free speech" then please accept the title of "Hypocrite".
Nelson Mandela. A great man in this world's history. His legacy is not tied down to one place and time, it lives on and is reflected in freedoms and victories and talks and lives- worldwide!
A gentleman, a wise man, a peacemaker, a mover and shaker- shifting the unjust winds of the world with heart and will stronger than many. A legend! We are thankful for the 95 years that President Nelson Mandela spent on this earth tilling the ground until it yielded fruits worthy of eating, sharing and replanting.
My prayers are with his family, friends and those who knew him.
Be inspired and let's continue what he, like many before us, started. We must continue walking!
You may or may not know this but I am a born again Christian. I am unashamed of that fact. That being said, this video from Billy Graham reminds me of why I serve The Lord. Words cannot begin to flow onto this screen. I am speechless and in incredible awe of the magnitude of the awesomeness of Christ Jesus and the sovereignty of Almighty God.
Take a look. Share your thoughts. God bless you :)
For years I've wondered why we feel the urge to compare our Ex's new person to ourselves. Why?
We compare body type, facial beauty or attractiveness, style of dress but taking it further we do the whole social media search. I'm telling you, the FBI or Secret Service could hire some of us with the serious super sleuthing skills we possess! You KNOW you've done it, haha, I'll admit I've done it too. Men, don't laugh because you do it too and some of you are probably in the process of doing it right now!
Again, I ask why? Does it really matter who they're with after us? Maybe it's a matter of closure or us wanting to know where we didn't measure up? Should we improve? There are many questions here but the main one I will focus on is:
"Why tear the NEXT down just because you're the EX?" Truth is she/he could be the most gorgeous person EVER or look like the Blobfish- it does not matter! What matters is that they're NOT with you (us). I don't mean to be harsh but what I want us to understand is that it's not necessarily a bad thing. Both of you have the possibility to do better, clearing opportunity for the PERFECT ONE FOR YOU to come into your life. Take note that I said "perfect for you" not "perfect person". No one is perfect but some people just FIT together.
Below are lyrics from a song but they're all too familiar in everyday conversation. I cannot tell you the amount of times I've heard something like this and I will admit, I have succumb to it in the past. ("She Can't Love You" by Destiny's Child)
Could we all agree that looking behind takes the focus off of moving ahead? I think we could. So why stay focused on the Ex and their new "Boo"? They've moved on and so should you! Don't get me wrong, a broken or bruised heart needs time to heal and that's the reason you should NEVER jump right into another relationship after a breakup. Spend that time learning more about yourself, going after dreams, planning your life, finishing things you've started, reconnecting with family and friends, etc. If you don't do any of this you run the risk of looking pathetic, dependent and lost BUT you're stronger than that!
It's true some of us really do need Boyfriend/Girlfriend Rehabilitation Services... There might be an app for that! (haha)
After you get the 'app' and have begun to heal its time to let go of them, both your Ex and the unhealthy obsession with the new love interest. Take time to evaluate the relationship you had. What was the good you would like to keep and enjoy in another relationship? What was the bad that you will not and cannot accept? What did you bring to the table and what can you now bring to the table (after you've had time to yourself- being a BETTER YOU)? Lastly, what are some things you expect your future mate to bring to the table? (Keep in mind, people have faults so expecting absolute perfection is ludicrous).
I want to hear from you, COMMENT below.
