Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

Yes this is a long post; you've been warned! I've been in much prayer about this over the last few days, and I feel the need to address this. I'm not looking to start an argument or have "stones thrown at me" so if that is your motive please keep scrolling or remove yourself from my page. I promise I will not get offended. If we can't agree to disagree then there's not much point in being "facebook friends". No, nothing has been said to me about this. I have a trip planned to Disney World in just 19 days with my Goddaughter and her family. There is a lot of money tied up in this trip, and our party is still going. We are also going with the mindset of 'we have the ability to protect and teach her what's right and wrong; to only watch the movies or shows we see fit'. Yes, I've seen the video circulating, and I am aware of what's going on. Will we go on another trip to Disney after this one, who knows? Maybe or maybe not? Probab...

My focused shifted to the day when I'm gonna sit down beside King Jesus and lay down my heavy burdens. It takes me (us) realizing that where we want to be and where God needs us to be are two different things. When you quit fighting what you want to do/where you want to be and obey what God needs you to do/where you need to be that's when the peace of God comes. When you quit trying to do what everyone thinks you should do, and do what God needs you to do tha...

First, I want to praise God for helping me this week with my asthma exhaburation. Normally, I'm down 3+ weeks with it. I've took the meds and did the breathing treatments at home, and it's a night and day difference since the beginning of the week. I'm thankful I was negative for covid, etc. I know meds help, but I also know this was God to turn this around this fast. Secondly, I did have to see another orthopedic doctor concerning my back since the pain was returning and he confirmed the old stress fracture situation that the previous doctor told me, but this doctor specializes in just the back and spine. He also confirmed that it was "lumbar spondylolysis" and according to new xrays and a 2nd look at the MRI, I was more than likely born with this because there is tissue where one of the lower vertebrae bone should've formed. But my spine is still straight so that's a good thing. Basically as you get older this issue just causes the wear and tear, pai...
