Today last year is the day that Osama died. The US celebrated his death. As Christians let us remember that we are to love our enemies and pray for them. Let’s also remember that God loves EVERYONE and desires that none should perish but that ALL would come to repentance and that He does not delight in the death of the wicked.

For all of you that were looking for me in the Victorias Secret runway show this year, I wasn’t in it. I have decided not to model lingerie Because I personally feel that I am not honoring God or my husband by doing it. My marriage is very important & with divorce rates rising I want to do everything I can to protect my marriage and be respectful to my husband. God graciously gave me this marriage and this life and my desire is to live a Godly faithful life, I don’t however judge others for what they do. Everyone is convicted on different levels.

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you.’ One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her,’Now that you can see the world…………will you marry me?’ The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: ‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’ This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can’t speak. Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who’s crying out to GOD for a companion. Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven. Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren. Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn’t clean or sweep -Think of the people who are living in the streets. Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job. But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one MAKER. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -Put a smile on your face and thank God your alive

Joshua David: Relationships Part 1(may use profane words, sorry)

anchoreddaily:

I actually feel really bad for everyone around me right now, just because i have been thinking about and trying to figure out my thoughts on relationships. Maybe if i write things down it will make more sense to me & if you have words of wisdom than you can shoot me a PM.

Relationships. They are so rediculous. Romantic relationships are to be for the glory of God. i know that sounds weird, but they are. If you and your significant other are not glorifying God, break it off. Relationships are to lead to marriage and marriage is a representation of oneness, the oneness of the Church and God. No matter what, this needs to be priority number one, to completely represent and glorify God. Men, that means pursuit, dying to yourself, practically loving, and so on. Women, that means respecting your man, letting him lead, supporting him in the decisions that he is making, trusting God to ultimately be in control as your man is submitted to God. We are to be submitted one to another. 

Being yourself. I realize that people project themselves to be something more than they are when they first meet you. Its so dumb that we do this. We kind of create this alter-ego of us that we could never live up to. I HATE fakeness. I hate hypocrisy. I hate that kind of stuff. It is WAY more attractive to me to hear a girl admit her faults than for her to lie to me claiming to be something else. The truth is going to come out in the end anyway. for this reason i have decided that i am going to be true to myself the most i possibly can, not considering what others may think of me just because i am the way that i am. & i am not going to believe people are who they project themselves to be until i have hungout with them and i know them enough to tell.

Window of opportunity. an awesome friend posted this the other day, “If you meet a quality girl, take quality time and win her heart right.” Things take time, to know someone takes time, to establish a genuine friendship takes time, for that to spawn into a relationship takes time. My dad, who is the wisest man i know, said, “time is your ally.” I am 20 years old, i have SO much freaking time. I want to take my time. I want to give that girl who is to be my wife the time she rightly deserves. Another friend of mine has this “window of opportunity” theory in that girls have a window of opportunity and if a boy doesn’t pursue her within that window then she “friendzones” him. (friendzone is like my home.) And that because of that window of opportunity a guy who tell her his intentions from the start. Just to get this out of the way, girls, if you are one way or another close to my age, shorter than me, & love Jesus my first thoughts towards you will always be, “is this chick potential?” Those are mostly my intentions. I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be time & friendship established.

Pursuit. Damn it men! Man the freak up! If you are attracted to someone, and you have a friendship established, and you know them, go for it!!! (pray about it first.) but you need to make the first step. If you cannot lead in starting a relationship, you wont lead the relationship. Women, wait. I know that it is really hard for you guys, but if you pursue guys and they actually go for you. You are only going to get shitty guys. Dont sell yourself cheap. granted, dont play with our hearts, but dont sell yourself cheap. You are beautiful, you are the daughters of the almighty God. You deserve nothing less. You need a man who is going to bring to the feet of the cross. one who will lead by example. 

Friendzone. For the longest time, and even still, the friendzone is where i reside in most of my relationships. I am a GREAT friend, but i dont think many people actually consider me as potential for anything romantic. (though i am a hopeless romantic.) The friendzone is not a bad place. It is a really good place to grow in getting to know a person. I feel like so many people get into this place though and think that this is it. I dont. Dont be afraid of the friendzone, im not.

Outside friends. though i know that most opinions from the outside are generally not welcome in relationships, they are SO freaking needed. This past relationship everyone saw things but no one told me till the end. You need people to tell you what is going on. You need people who care about you enough in your life to see you and that person grow together. You become love blind and dont see that they are emotionally taking a shit on you. (sorry, i little bitterness came out.) & if they meet and dont like your friends, dump them. Screw that, you need someone who is willing to become part of your life. not take you away from such a HUGE part of it….

…..there are probably some more things i could come up with….we’ll see.  

that’s truth right thurrr

go follow my friend there.

Let’s open up this pit!! 

‘My First Hardcore Song’ by 8yr old Juliet

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

- 1 Corinthians 10:13

today is national human trafficking awareness day.

Jacob’s Story is a mini-documentary about a man that once made his living by trafficking women & children for the purposes of commercial sex.

Jacob worked as a trafficker for a crime syndicate in Johannesburg South Africa. We decided to release his story because of how raw it is. In this film, he speaks openly about his work as a brothel manager and he explains how syndicates all over the world operate as they exploit the weak and powerless. Most importantly, you’ll hear about the life transformation that’s taken place in Jacob’s life. 

From trafficker to rescuer. Only in the Kingdom of God.

Jacob is living proof that when the Gospel changes the hearts of men; everything changes.

I will be patient and kind. I will not be jealous or boastful or proud or rude. I will not demand my own way. I will not be irritable, and I will keep no record of being wronged. I will not rejoice about injustice but will rejoice whenever the truth wins out. I will never give up, never lose faith, and will always be hopeful, and endure through every circumstance.

The point of Christianity isn’t to explain everything in existence – only God can actually do that. And we are simply supposed to know Him. A relationship is based on communication and and trust, not facts and knowledge.

This is my desire...: You ARE beautiful... ♥

psalm27-4:

“Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.”
- Proverbs 31:30

Society places a lot of pressure on women — young and old — to be beautiful. Unfortunately, a lot of that pressure is not really related to true beauty. For me, as a single…

good stuff right here
