  • Walk in Faith…

    Daily writing prompt
    How often do you walk or run?
    View all responses

    Whether you walk or run, do it with purpose. The Bible teaches us to “walk in the Spirit” (Gal 5 16) and to “run with a purpose.” And exhorts us to not stop. Gal 5:7-10

    I walk everyday. Some days, not so far; the mailbox and back. Sometimes around the entry circle of the complex while others, i walk the whole complex. Then, other days, I get a bit “wild” and go hike the trails.

    Didn’t know you were in a race? One of the New Testament writers said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7) He seemed to think his entire life was a race he was running.

    “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.”   1 Corinthians 9:24

    As for me, i just keep putting one foot in front of the other because one day I hope to fly.

    But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isa 40:31

    Do you see yourself as a leader?

    I wasn’t called to lead. I was called to follow. As a Christian you’re not meant to follow another Christian. Follow Christ. Only. If i deviate from following Him, walk away. “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling”

  • Faith

    What’s your favorite word?
    View all responses

    My mom would say “shit” is my favorite word. I know its my go to frustration word because it is usually the perfect definition of where i find myself too often. And, usually, deep in it.

    I would say my favorite word is “faith”. Every day, after every “shit storm”, there has to remain faith that there is another chance of things becoming different. Without it we would never have the hope in the future to pick ourselves up, dust off, and take the next step.

  • Criticism…

    What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
    View all responses

    They say the thing that bothers you the most in others is the thing you struggle with but don’t see in yourself.

    My family have said some things that have made me aware of being critical. I never thought of it that way. I always thought i was picky or just wanted better of myself and those around me. Isn’t that where criticism starts? We judge something, anything and find it lacking.

    I’m insecure enough. No wonder the idea that another is looking that closely at me or anything and everything sets me off. I KNOW that i am lacking. I really don’t want it pointed out to me UNLESS it comes with ideas on how to improve. No one wants the problems in themself pointed out. We know better than anyone our flaws. I, personally, welcome solutions.
