Challenge of the Week!

Good morning everyone :) How is your Tuesday going? Praise God mine is great :) The ray of sunshine coming in to my room through my window is one reminder of God's creativity :) How artistic He is :) And how Beautiful all the works of His hands are...that includes you too! You are beautiful!

I don't know about you but I caught myself doing these things : I would jump in and start talking when the person is not even done talking. I talk more and listen less at times (not always though :) ) Even in my time of prayer...I talk at God, without giving Him a chance to talk back. Is it just me or do you find yourself doing the same things?

Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to train yourself to be more of a listener than a talker. I challenge you to consciously control  yourselves in conversations with people and God. I challenge you to give not a deaf ear but a  hearing ear to people and God. I challenge you to recognize that prayer isn't just talking at God it's talking with God. That requires listening too! I also challenge you to recognize that sometimes people just need listeners not just counselors.

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry," James 1:19

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
