I think people underestimate how tired you can be from just having too much on your mind! Not even physically tired! Just tired of remembering things, handling things, thinking ahead, fixing stuff, making decisions, being needed, tryna stay afloat etc. That's just a lot for real.
I believe that when God wants to make you successful, He first takes away your comfort, tests your patience, isolates you, and challenges your faith. Before He provides the life you dream of, He builds the version of you that can handle it. He’s not punishing you, He’s preparing you.
I set this boundary years ago…I don’t want to share rooms..baby we don’t even have to be in the same hotel.
Feel free to accrue and use your points…this is not freshman year Miami spring break …
You wanna do this and I wanna do that, we will link later.
I agree with the lady that said black men are hard to love. It’s not gon stop me from loving y’all. However, black men definitely make it difficult. Y’all be needing y’all ass whooped & some therapy.
I think what makes this story more depressing & alarming than him being an “American Idol alum” is that Caleb Flynn was a worship pastor.
And despite having a wife & two children, something many men long for, Flynn decided he wanted more than what God gave him.
He started having an affair with a woman at his church. Text messages show that they became obsessed with each other, & Flynn began to despise his wife.
But despite hating his wife, Flynn refused to divorce her because he didn’t want to lose his kids, his reputation, nor his job (his father-in-law gave him a job working for him). But his affair partner would not keep seeing him unless they divorced, so he decided to murder his wife.
It’s a devastating reminder of what sin takes from us. Caleb went from lust, to betrayal, to adultery, to murder.
And now his wife is dead. His children are without both parents. His affair partner has been exposed and her life is ruined. And of course, Caleb ruined his own life.
“Sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”
… And when the topic is ‘bout God, I will stand up & fully Proclaim His Faithfulness because the fact that my needs were met when my income didnt make sense, that's supernatural provision & enough to tell God; THANK YOU!
God, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for all the times I asked for Your forgiveness and ran back to sin. I'm sorry for all the times I said I love You but refused to read Your word and get to know You.
God, I'm sorry that I disappoint You more times than I can count, but I thank You for still choosing me.
