Those Darn Holier-Than-Thou people!

So I've found myself in a place of discomfort when I am around these people who straight up FORCE it. Okay, yeah I mean we all love the Lord! Come on, that's why we Christians! If we didn't love the Lord then why would we be Christ followers. Okay but people who straight up try to down size my relationship with Christ because you know it all?? Oh come on Negro, PA-LEEZ! I mean where do some people go off acting as if the way they surve God is better than EVERYONE else? I mean for instance take the woman who doesn't accept your prayer because she believes that it wasn't good enough? Or that dude who needs to walk into a room and is acting weird in front of peoples because he feels that Christ represneters don't participate in fun. Those up-tight people that says everyone method is wrong and only theirs in correct. I don't know where people go off. Yes, this is a blog to vent. Because those people who go around and act like they don't have crap to stink. Oh come on! I mean yeah I'm a leader and have to try to live above the rest but that doesn't mean I don't fall. I don't mentally place myself in a place where I just go around saying to myself "oh I serve God better than all of dem folks" Please No! Why do people insist on lifting themselves higher in front in their minds?? All in all, listen people like that don't go right or left in my book, but instead in my mental trash bin. All done!

Untitled

After experiencing a very troubling day, I finally have time to reflect on it. One thing about being a PK is that you always get the inside scoop on everything and anything. That may not be the case for every PK but since the job of being a pastor is so tough it kinda leeks out to the family. We hold the burdens of the pastor in our heart because we see and know first hand what he goes thru. Not only that but being in a leadership position also it has given us the ability to empathize with our pastor too in a sense. What I want to say is that it is the hardest thing to be a PK and to see our parents going thru some of the toughtest times out of everyone in the congregation. It seems to be like everyone believes that God can take a backseat on their priority list. Jobs, fun, friends, etc all come before God. And to someone whose life is only about God, whose occupation focuses entriely on God and basically has no other options (this isn't universal to all pastors) is the hardest thing a child can watch. I know we all feel for our parents but some of what they experience from people just isn't fair. Anyways, apart from that there some pastors who have the good life! Great congregants, cooperating staff, etc etc etc! Although the Bible says Do Not Covet, its hard not looking and wishing that you could be in that positon also. I just see too much, blood, sweat, and tears come out of the same person for too long to not be at a place of success. Anyhow! I know that God will make a way and deliverance will come. So many things are harbored up inside the man who is suppose, and so much is expected that not many people ask this man if he needs something to drink. I feel like I can go on and on about this topic but it never ceases the fact that sometimes things aint fair, and bad things always happen to good people. Pray for the First family...(whoever I'm speaking to out there)

The Devil's Plan

Today I had a slight epiphany. Slight because I knew it already, but I realized that the devil is the BIGGEST liar!! Yeah, I said it! He is! The devil, is that dude who plans to ruin everything that the Lord has planned for our lives. Not only that but he wants to make out lives miserable too. While I go over my day, he has really tried to ruin many thing that God has already set out for His people. The Bible says "He plants his people in the Kingdom" (Matthew 13:38-39) The people that we believe are the ones who are there to be in out good favor, but who hurt us, are probably the ones who are there to hurt us. Yes! The devil put that lady in the big hat, 2 rows back from you, who loves to yell and get her Beyonce on in church is the one who is probably planted there to kill your spirit, or even worse distract you from God. Yup, that's the worst because what the purpose of going to church if we ain't focused???!!! 
Not hear to preach, but basically I have realized that some of the leaders are just there to kill and destroy, rather than to produce fruit. There is a song that I heard that made me think about the devil, and my strength in Christ. The words say"MY SALVATION WILL NOT WAVER DUE TO THE SNARES SENT BY THE ENEMY. I HAVE FAITH THAT'S GREATER THAN THE AVERAGE SOUL." Think about how the devil has set up traps for you to fall in, and think of how many times you didn't fall! Thanks be to the God that lives in me so I can continue to have faith. Yo, Church people will run you up a pole with their "holiness" and this same holiness is the same one that is ready to drive the world out the church. (Post for another day) So my thing is, why do people have to work actively for the devil? Without even knowing it?? Aw, man it runs me up a pole! Anyways, I love the Lord wholeheartedly and will never cease to praise Him. The devil's attacks have no affect on me because of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior! 

Be Blessed!

New Year-New Committments

Back on the blogger and it feels good to be back. Like legit I haven't been on here like since August but I'm back now. I figured out that I can blog from my phone and now all things are good! I will try my absoulte hardest to committ to this, this blog that I have started!
There are soooo many thing that will be addressed this year! Life as a PK (Pastor's Kid) only gets tougher by the day and my own personal life seems to circle the same craziness being a pastor's daught does. So much has gone on and so much is still yet to be challenged, conquered, and of course cried about!
Within this new year I plan to be a better me. Well for those who know me yall would probably be saying that things for me are pretty good already and hat would I need to fix? Right? Wrong! This year I vow myself to gain patience. Now one of best-guy frineds, says not to ask God for patience because I will have to struggle with actually waiting. Well I wouldn't be asking God for patience persay, but would be asking God to raise my tolerance on Patience. Wait, is that the same thing???? I don't know!
Life as a PK requires patience! Sooo Much Patience! With Church Folk, Friends, PARENTS, school, love, Everything! So if I need to physically slap myself on the wrist to restrain myself from being to eager I will do so.
My theory is, well if Patience is a Virture, and I want to be a virtuous woman so I need to learn this trait. Seems very important! Well that's one of my new years resoloutions. Another to to stay in full communication with God the purpose of that is so that I can always have clarity in the things that never cease to confuse me in my life! Seems kinda funny the way I put that but yep this is me for the new year.
Well anyways to all my (few) readers, what is your new years resoloution and how do you plan on achieving it???
Alrighty! Till Next time guys!
