This is my life. This is what God taught me. Counseling from God’s Word

Man I’ve turned 35.  I’m another year older. I guess it’s only downhill from here I guess or uphill haha.  I’d like to say I’m another year wiser and that I’m more like Christ and I definitely think I’m more like Christ. I think God has given me more wisdom also.  I’m just not anywhere near where I want to be.  Today was just another day really.  I didn’t really do much to celebrate it.  I went to Starbucks with a sweet friend who gave me a present.  I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t really have a party or anything even though other friends had had parties.  I realized that I was just being selfish and self focused. Sometimes I feel like I’m invisible or that people don’t notice me as much but even that is being self focused.  I was wanting a party so I could be with people and celebrate but I was also just wanting attention. I was thinking about this one time one of my friends Kaycee had one of our friends Laura make me a cake for m...

Have you ever been around or seen a party going on and not been invited?  It stinks right? To. It be included in something stinks.  When I have a party or I’m doing something I try to include as many people as I can or include people in it because I know what it’s like to be excluded.  I know what it’s like to feel invisible or like no one cares.  Y’all Jesus isn’t like the party that excludes people.  He has invited everyone to come to His wedding feast.  He wants everyone to enter into the kingdom of God.    All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved!  Romans 10:13.  All you have to do is confess and repent of your sins and turn to Christ! He is waiting for you today! Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus and you will be saved! Turn from sin and self and give control of your life over to Christ! You will never regret a single moment of it! Even when it’s hard or it gets lonely Jesus will always be there to remind you how much H...

So on Saturday I dyed my hair red with henna....well I didn't do it, my amazing friend Chelsea Barrick did it.  Y'all she is amazing and the sweetest person.  I love her so much.  I researched how to dye your hair red with henna on YouTube and watched videos and Saturday at about 1pm I mixed my henna to let it sit for about 5-6 hours before it would be used to dye my hair.  This is what I started off with.  I took pure henna powder and put it in a bowl and then warmed up water to make rasberry zinger tea.  I mixed lemon juice and tea into the henna powder. This is what it looked like at first.  Then I added plastic wrap haha Then I put the lid on just to make sure air wouldn't get in it haha This is what it looked like after it had sat for a long time haha This was after Chelsea put the henna in my hair and then wrapped my head with plastic wrap haha I realized I didn't do my eyebrows so I did those...

Y’all this has been something that has been on my heart for a while.  Sometimes we treat each other mean whether we intend to or not.  Sometimes unintentionally we treat others without the love we should.  Sometimes we do it intentional and that seems worse.  We need to speak the truth in love and when we see somebody living in sin, especially a brother or sister in Christ we need to call them out.  We shouldn’t gossip about others though or say harsh things about others.  We should be careful to not judge what we don’t understand.  We need to pray for one another and hold each other accountable as iron sharpens iron.  We need to love each other as Christ loved us.  Y’all there might be things that you do not understand but God is still on His throne and He is still in control and is sovereign over our lives.  If we cannot say He is good in the bad times then how can we say He is good in the good times? He is either good through it al...
