GOOD MORNING  { TUMBLR FOLLOWERS } LET US STEP INTO A NEW DAY AND DANCE AND PRAISE. ALL THE GLORY BE TO GOD. JOY COMES IN THE MORNING  { PSALM 30:5 }

“All this achievement and accomplishment that you focus on is fine, but remember, the most important thing about you is something that someone else accomplished on your behalf. You are a child of the living God, and He paid for your sins with his blood. He gave you a room in His Father’s house. To God, YOU are the most important thing in the universe.”

I am sad, but I’m not joyless I am brokenhearted, but I still have love to give. I am cast down, but I will rise again. I am weak, but He is strong.

I don't know who needs to hear this but....

Real friends never put their friends down, not even jokingly. Using the excuse of a joke is a lazy and cowardly way of expressing internalized malice towards another person without having to face up to the consequences of what has been said. They hide their true feelings behind the umbrella of "humor" to excuse themselves from the responsibility of their words. These people are leeches that don't have your best interest in mind and are to be cut off immediately. It is Biblical knowledge: "Like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death is one who deceives their neighbor and says, 'I was only joking' "

Proverbs 26:18-19

“I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.”

“Even the smallest spark of positivity can spread like wild fire to everyone else you come across. It’s amazing what impact even the smallest acts of kindness can have on the quality of someone else’s day.”

The biggest accolade I can receive is being called a woman of God.

God taught me this through tears, pain, arguments and sleepless nights. Crack open proverbs and you'll discover how to be kind and generous whilst still maintaining your character.

People will take you for a fool if you try to be nice to everyone. In this life you need to learn to put your foot down and be decisive about the things you won't tolerate in your life, regardless of who likes it or not. Trying to be a people pleaser will only leave you drained and taken advantage of. Once you uphold an image of someone of malliable character it's much easier for others to expect certain things from you without having in consideration your integrity and beliefs, to treat you any kind of way they desire and take advantage of your weak demeanor. Trying to people please is peasant behavior, you don't owe such treatment to anyone who doesn't deserve it, don't lower yourself to that. To hell what they think of you, they aren't paying your rent or bills.

I think you’re making points & I definitely understand what you mean. We’ve turned into a very hyper-sexual culture and in some cases it is having a terrible influence. I’m not policing you, like you said, it is your blog . But I think the people who are mad just have an issue with it seeming like women can’t be multi-faceted, or change, or have control over being sexual. I do think there’s a time & place and definitely get being tired of it, but if the woman is in control of it, why have issue?

This is an actual respectful disagreement where a conversation can be had. I think you're confusing what being a multifaceted person is. Yes, a woman (or any person) can have different sides and personalities to themselves, I have made posts here addressing how important it is to develop yourself in different areas, that's not what Saweetie or any other rapper out here is doing, actually.

My initial critique was based on the poorly executed attempt at rachetness and morally corrupt behavior that we have been seeing the music industry try to shove down young people's throat, Saweetie is a great example. She isn't exhibiting being a person of multiple qualities, she has been *transformed* into a very specific image to make her blend with the rest of the female rappers currently in the scene (City Girls, Megan, Doja Cat, Kash Doll, etc.). What she's portraying is not sex appeal, sex appeal is subtle, tasteful, has an aura of mystery. Sexual degeneracy is vulgar, in your face, tacky and repugnant, that's what she is displaying. Being critical of a behaviour that young girls will observe and then proceed to replicate (especially with the viral social media challenges she came up with) will only harm these same girls mentally and will make them develop a skewed view of their sexuality, self perception as women and force them to comply to an image that has been crafted by an industry that's based on using sex, drugs and violence to make profit.

Ask yourself, would you feel comfort if your 8 year old daughter or sister spent her time watching a music video of a grown woman in tank top shaking her spine on top of a basketball backboard with lyrics saying "8 inch, big d*ck that's good pipe"? And before some starts saying that it's not the artist's responsibility to overview what people's kid see online, that point is irrelevant because Saweetie, like most female rapper, caters her music to young girls and spreads it through social media to target a very specific audience, they know exactly what they are doing.

Saweetie is not multifaceted, to the contrary she has developed one specific try hard brand of a Megan Thee Stallion knock off. If you or any of these third wave "feminists" find that empowering then you believe that, but that won't stop other people from being critical of what's being promoted to us. And I focus on female rappers because I'm a woman, but male rappers are just as bad, and unfortunately we as a society have become numb to the promotion of guns, drugs and easy sex/degradation of women in their music. We need to do better, we have to.

First comes the acceptance of what is the source of your pain and hurt. Learn to be vulnerable with yourself and in tune with those emotions. Usually, we're taught to suppress them in order that we can continue to "function" in our places of work, school and familial responsibilities. But you have to create that space for yourself where you are ALLOWED to be upset, hurt and scared. And find pragmatic ways of resolving what's going on internally as well as externally if possible. Bring all your troubles towards God and be naked with him. Let him in to those crevices in your heart. Love you all so much and may peace transcend all that is in your lives ❤️.

When you realize that no matter how pretty you look on the outside it won’t help if your heart is ugly. Let God transform your heart :)

In Jesus name amen!💯

📝 - @amy_klutinoty ⇠ follow! . The Apostle Paul’s prayer for the thorn to be removed from his life, wasn’t necessarily denied by God, it just wasn’t answered the way he expected. . “My grace is sufficient for you", God compassionately replied. “My power is made perfect in weakness.” . You know, I wonder if Paul let out a heavy sigh after hearing God’s response. Yes, we know Paul’s response was to say, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” But…even still…the process leading up to that moment was not an easy one for Paul. . He didn’t receive the answer I am sure he was hoping for, but we have learned through his story that; what may be a hardship to us, is an invitation to God. What we so often consider a “no” from God, can actually be translated into an invitation to better understand who He is. . God could have removed this “thorn”, but then Paul would have missed out on the sweet revelation and strength of God’s sustaining grace. He became even closer to God which was inevitably what he needed all along. More of God is always the answer. . I urge you today to take a moment to consider this truth in your own life. Is there a prayer you have written off as a “no” from God, and have thrown into your inventory of disappointments? . Could it be that He is extending the same offer to you as He did to Paul? To better know Him and personally experience His redeeming grace? God may not always remove the tough circumstance, but rest assure, He will strengthen you by His grace to endure and finish the race. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Mbnd1f

He is uprooting disbelief. He is pulling sinful weeds that have overgrown and taken root within our hearts. We often feel the sharp sting as He prunes us but the end result is worth the growing pains. He cuts away the dead in order to give us new life. . “Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit” (John 15:2) — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/34AnEsc

God will pave the way on a path you didn’t even know existed

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self control."

2 Timothy 1:7

Reminder:

Stop making money your God. The devil will give you all the power and all the money you need, that’s a piece of cake for him! He doesn’t want you to know God because you will be too powerful for him, when your feet hit the floor in the morning he will run in fear because he knows that’s a powerful child of God, I can’t mess with her/him. He will do anything he can to distract you from God because once you’re distracted from God, you are his. Consumed and controlled by these things. Stop making money your God.
