Looking For America: Our Purple Nation

You want love, love first. You want to be heard, listen up! You want to be respected, show respect. You want to win the war, learn to lose battles. You want freedom, fight fair. You want the right example for the next generation, it starts with you at home and in serving selflessly in our communities. You want empathy and compassion, be empathetic and compassionate towards your enemies. You want grace for yourself, be ready to give it.

You want forgiveness, forgive those who trespass you even when they are not apologetic for what they have done.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE in everything you do. Work harder than anyone without always expecting anything in return.

Our reward isn’t here, but in His Kingdom.

Oh, Grief is Where The Light Shines Through

Oh grief, do not consume me. I fear to stop grieving because I simply don’t want to forget her, but at the same time, I’m tired of answering everyone’s questions on how we are doing. You’ve become a slow, calculated, and nagging process; but then you wonder why most choose to skip you. Running away from you was enticing, but choosing you was the most reasonable option. You promise faster healing and relief, while running away from you would have led me bitterly back to you anyway.

Let It Burn

If your house burns down today, what will be the one item (or person) you will grab on your way out to safety? Who or/and what fulfills us? Most importantly, are we willing to sacrifice ourselves to ensure someone else’s safety? All these questions have been invading my mind in the last few weeks because what I thought mattered most doesn’t anymore.

Trump, the Slanderous Leader

This post is directed towards my fellow Christian brothers & sisters who will be participating in the upcoming elections. We must pray for God’s guidance in this decision and we must be careful in selecting a candidate whose character is questionable and indecent for the Oval Office. IF in the past, we’ve been offended with inappropriate behaviors of past Presidents and government officials we didn’t support, what makes us think supporting someone with the same reputation will be any different? I will not be endorsing anyone on this post, but I will be very vocal about who isn’t getting my support– and that’s Mr. Trump.
