"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." ~Romans 5:1-2

Kind?

Do not repay evil for evil or insult for insult,
but with blessing.
Because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 
Peter 3:9


You can respond in kind, or with kindness..


I know that you are pleased with me,
for my enemy does not triumph over me.
Because of my integrity you uphold me
and set me in your presence forever.
Psalm 41:11-12

Like it or not..



"I think everybody should like everybody"
Andy Warhol

A simple statement made by a weird guy who's iconic fame can be contributed to the fact that he painted a picture of soup..

But...  It's not a bad idea, really..

There are both good and bad attributes to everyone..  What if we just focused on the good?

I mean, if it's true that no one can make us angry unless we let them and no one can upset us unless we let them, then it must also be true that no one can make us like or dislike anyone..  That's also up to us isn't it?


Someone may not like you, but they can't make you not like them..  That's your decision right?
So,what if we all lived with the attitude- "I'm going to like you whether you like it or not"..
Can't hurt can it?


 I think I'll give it a shot..

Book giveaway!

I have 2 copies of this book to give away..
To enter, follow this blog and leave a comment..
That's it!
My daughter will chose the winners at random on Monday so check back..

Bill Wiese saw the searing flames of hell, felt total isolation, and experienced the putrid and rotting stench, deafening screams of agony, terrorizing demons, and finally, the strong hand of God lifting him out of the pit. 

 "Tell them I am coming very, very soon!
Wiese's visit to the devil's lair lasted just twenty-three minutes, but he returned with vivid details etched in his memory. Since this life-changing ordeal, he has spent the last seven years studying the Scriptures to find answers and has listed more than 150 Bible verses referencing hell. 

Everyone is curious about the afterlife, and now Wiese shares his insights to commonly asked questions such as: 
* Is hell a literal burning place? 
* Where is hell?
* Do you have a body in hell? 
* Are there Degrees of punishment in hell? 
* Are there children in hell? 
* Can Demons torment people in hell? 
* Can "good" people go to hell?

What's on my mind this morning

My nephew is obsessed with Harry Potter.

I don't have to be compassionate to show compassion to others.

It is possible to be truthful and still be kind.

If you can't be kind, shut up.

If you want to be right all the time, you're gonna be pretty lonely.

Jealously makes you ugly.

No matter how hard you try to mask it, insecurity is easy to see.

I really want a grilled cheese sandwich.

Yesterday was the best day at Hearts ever.

If you haven't let it go, moved on, stopped talking about it, and stopped dwelling on it, then you haven't forgiven. Period.

If God wanted conformity He would have made everyone the same.

Jeeps are cool.

No one can make me think or feel anything unless I let them.

Hurt people, hurt people..

I have decide that no one gets to be my enemy. Seriously, life has been sooo much easier since!

There comes a time when you just gotta say "I really don't care what you say or think about me", and seriously mean it.

When you really, really know who you are and how God sees you, everything changes; you experience absolute freedom. It's incredible.

Things. that I thought were important before are so not important to me now. When did that happen?

It takes a lot of energy to be offended. I'm too busy for that..

Have you ever noticed how angry people get when they realize they can't make you angry?

I really love my life.

Pretending..


“That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretense. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.”
