Sound foundation stone

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. (Matthew 7:24-29 NIV)

Leader, party like there is no tmr, beautifully made, restoration

 A leader is someone who inspires, encourages and motivates others to be their best, to never give up and to never settle. A leader is someone who fights for justice on the behalf of those who can not stand up for themselves. As a leader, people you don’t even know are watching you. When someone provokes you with a hateful comment, you may want to lash back and make them wish they’d kept that comment to themselves. But the word says, “Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool.” Ecclesiastes 7:9. 

Lyrics like these are played everywhere and it creates a desensitization to the message. The message that says, “I will leave my reputation and conscience at the door and do things as if the consequences are irrelevant since tonight is the last night.” In addition to music lyrics, we are surrounded by magazine covers of teen moms and the downward spiral from drug use, crazy parties and arrests of young stars we admire. It somehow seems cool to go off the deep end or party the night away when it’s glorified in the media, especially when we don’t usually see the consequences that come from celebrity behavior.

You are too good, too fearfully made to waste your life away on a night getting wasted. 

God can always redeem and restore any mistake we make or any injustice that has been done to us. He can always take our mess and turn it into a message. But he has also given us a handbook of wisdom from which to refer so we don’t have to go through self-induced sufferings. 

Unleashing our Creative side

God will use your faithfulness and the creativity he breathed into your DNA and bring something beautiful to life. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” Luke 16:10. If you have been hiding and masking the things that made your heart soar, maybe it’s time to tap back into them. When I started writing again, it released a new-found fire in me that is so rewarding at the end of the day. It is never too late for restoration or a new beginning with the power of God on your side.

Here are some questions from The Artist’s Way that helped me recover the creative girl God made me to be:

1. I don’t do it much, but I enjoy…
2. If I could lighten up a little, I’d let myself…
3. If it weren’t too late, I’d…
4. If it didn’t sound so crazy, I’d write or make a…
5. My parents think artists are…
6. My God thinks artists are…
7. Learning to trust myself is probably…

Describe 5 traits you liked in yourself as a child.
List 5 childhood accomplishments.
Now list 5 people you secretly admire. What traits do these people have that you can cultivate further in yourself?

Unleash the creative person that we are!

What we shld do

After reading what is sin. Here's some helpful notes about the bible.

One of the key principles in the Bible is that people should be wise stewards of everything God gives them, including their time, talent and treasure. 

Throughout the Bible, we are constantly reminded that our hope is in God alone, not money, power, or position.

"Everything is permissible for me but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me but I will not be mastered by anything." (1 Corinthians 6:12, NIV)

Added to that, God doesn't just want us not to sin, but he gives us an even higher goal. Adults should act responsibly.
