                                                                                               Trust is to be completely dependent on someone and to know they will always do what is right.  The Bible tells us that we should only put our trust in God. It is not wise to trust ourselves, other people including friends, family, lovers, and even those in high positions (see Proverbs 28:26, Micah 7:5, and Psalm 118:9, 146:3). You don't believe me?  Here are just a few examples from the Bible: Adam and Eve betrayed themselves and God when they allowed the serpent to convince them to eat from the exact tree God directly told them not to eat from.  God had just rescued the Hebrews from slavery and sho...

                                                               "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6&7). Steps to take when you are stressed: 1.   Pray - Prayer is talking and listening to God. Talk through your situation with God in a detailed conversation. Tell Him exactly how you feel and be honest, he can take it. This is a part of having a relationship with Him looks like. You are doing this to get everything off your chest. Now you have to put the prayer in submittance to God. 2.   Petition - A petition is a humble prayer that comes into agreement with what the wor...

    No one is truly self-made. We have to receive some kind of favor or be chosen for an opportunity in some way. Yet w e are so intrigued with who is or isn't self-made or who got their riches starting from the other side of the tracks or who was born with a leg up because their parents or a close relative or friend gave them an advantage. Like when Rhianna was announced as the youngest self-made billionaire Kylie Jenner name got brought into the conversation because she had previously been given the title by Forbes , but, according to Forbes , the title was taken away due to her business being smaller than the Kardashian/Jenner family led on. But those who didn’t know about the stripped title asked, what about Kylie being the youngest billionaire? And the debate continued from when she was first given the title that she couldn’t be considered a self-made billionaire, even if she was a billionaire, because Kylie isn't self-made because she comes from a rich and fa...

 Self-acceptance can lead you to your destiny and allow you to influence others to accept themselves.                                                                                            I was at the store getting some  boxes to move with. As I was putting the boxes in my car these two men came to me and said, "Excuse me, can we ask you a quick question?" I nodded my head as I looked anticipating the question. One continued as he was trying to find the right words to say, "you are so beautiful, (which I knew was nonsense and something was up because my face was covered with a mask .) "but we have a bet going on," then he hit me with the question," you aren't 50 years old, are you?" I laughed as if i...

 You have to forgive constantly to have peace within yourself, but forgiving is easier said than done sometimes. Forgiveness is a lifestyle; it isn't just a once in a while event. For some of us forgiving comes more easily than others. For example, if you are a selfish, self-centered, or a free spirited person who lives your life on a whim you may forgive easier than others, because you lack awareness of other people's feelings, and you want to live your life the way you choose without thinking of the harm you may cause others, and most of the time that type of person is the one who needs to be forgiven for what they did the most. On the other hand, if you are a kind, stoic, or a  perfectionist and you go out your way to be nice to others you may find yourself holding on to bad feelings due to being offended by someone because you know you go out your way to not cause harm or be a bother to others so you expect the same courtesy to be extended onto you, but unfortunately...

                            Should the left ring finger be off limits from wearing a ring if you are looking to date to be married? The left-hand ring finger is traditionally reserved for the engagement ring and the wedding band . So if you are single and interested in dating, courting, or getting married now or in the future should you keep that finger clear from a ring, so you don't send off the wrong impression to a potential mate that you are married? This is a reoccurring conversation between my mom and me, because she is always slipping a ring on that finger, and she is single and would like to get married one day. The conversation usually goes something like this: Me: Why do you have a ring on that finger? Mom: This is my birthstone ring . (Depending on which ring she is wearing that day. "This is my fashion ring " or " this is my costume ring "). Me: It doesn't matter what kind of ring it is. If a man s...
