Witness, Lawyer or Judge, which are you?

TODAY'S REMINDER:  We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.

Wow... I couldn't have said it better myself. Interesting statement. (I love these little things my mom sends me by the way) - dont tell her I said that though. This one is very touchy...

I think people, (even more so Christian people) forget that we are called to witness and tell others about the good news of Jesus Christ and inform them about the gift that God has given us all - Salvation. It is not our job or responsibility to tell that that we THINK what they are doing wrong but our OBLIGATION to tell them what the WORD says, and not what we've been taught or bred to believe and then they have the opportunity to take that how they want and go figure out for themselves. Thats it... simple, huh? We make things so much harder thinking we have to take on the burden of 'bringing somebody out' and 'delivering them' when that is for God to do, not us.

People need to pause before they open their mouth or get their fingers to moving (through text or email) and be so quick to tell someone their opinion about what they think they should be doing with their lives. Maybe to just pause and ponder "did anybody tell me that I was wrong or a bad person when I lied, was being sneaky and deceitful or had premarital sex (ON THE REGULAR, might I add) or was selfish and unforgiving to someone"  Instead, think of the opportunity you have to impart some knowledge into someone, be grateful that are willing to share something so personal to you or think highly enough of you that you wont run around town advertising their business.  Also, think about the people that are still there for you and didnt hand you down a guilty verdict and sentence your friendship to the death penalty after you told them some of your personal secrets and things are you not so proud of......  Think carefully, and act cautiously when you think about what you're about to put somoene on BLAST about cause its always easier to see things 'on' someone than it is to look in the mirror and face your own demons...

Dont Know What You Got til Its Gone.........

Hey you! I hope you've being progressive thus far in this new year. Its been amazing for me in so many ways and I'm just grateful for each day and the new opportunities presented. :) I've been in a really 'reflective' mood here lately and saw a picture with the old cliche 'Dont Know What You Got Til Its Gone' and it got my wheels to turning and made me think really long and hard about some of the things that I no longer have... and if I truly recognized them for what they were, now and then.  In a lot of ways I agree with the statement and I've used it before but I'm curious what type of lens people are looking through when they say it, whether they view it positively or negatively, cause I think it can be used both ways. Frankly, more often than not, I've heard more people use the phrase negatively, meaning they are sad or down about the particular thing or person that they have lost and could have some regrets. It seems as though people looking

Friends With Benefits: Share Your Thoughts

-
So occasionally, my co-workers and I have this 'hot topic' tradition where we discuss controversial, interesting, and just juicy and 'hot' stuff at work during lunch, lol. Today's topic happened to be 'Friends With Benefits' (FWB).  Just for a good laugh, I looked it up on Urban Dictionary  and this is what the experts had to say about what FWB means... Two friends who have a sexual relationship without being emotionally involved. Typically two good friends who have casual sex without a monogamous relationship or any kind of commitment A physically involved relationship, where both partners enjoy some comforts of sitting on the fence between serious relationship and simple friendship.   A healthy, fun sexual relationship between two people......Until one falls for the other, The friendship blows to pieces. And those two people find themselves worse off than they were before. Two very good friends that share in sexual acts with each other with no emoti

The Father Factor: Mo's Version

When I was little, I thought my daddy was the KING! I mean, he was the man... he was powerful, something like a superhero, he took care of his family and he could make things happen that would make me say 'WOW' and make me think, "How did he do that?"...my dad could do no wrong and I thought he had magic powers... As I grew up, the more I learned about my father I realized that although he was a great father to me and my brothers he wasn't always the best man or husband to my mother but, nevertheless, I cant deny the impact my fathers presence had on my life - both positive and negative. Now, as a mother, each day I'm faced with the issue of the occasional presence and frequent absence that my daughters father has in her life and it makes my heart ache...seriously. Like my chest gets tight, and I can barely breathe sometimes because I'm overcome with emotion. *oh goodness, I can feel my eyes welling up as I type* As her mother, I feel responsible for
