No More Excuses! It's A New Day!

Men are struggling just as much as women in relationships today. A lot of men have been raised in single parent households mainly with their mothers. Instead of taking out time to train the child up in Godly principles he's being raised around all these negative adversaries and what I call "hood principles". Hood principles simply means beliefs outside of Gods word. A few examples: *He watches his Mother be selfish putting ALL her needs before his so grows up with selfish ambition since no one teaches him the joy of sharing. * He watches her put men before him so sex and using women becomes his escape. *He watches her work work work her 9 to 5 and struggle. Not because she doesnt have enough but lack of money management skills. He refuses to end up that way and turns to fast money. No one showed him the essence behind higher education or the opportunities that lurk past the street corner in his hood if he just takes a chance. *He hears and watches abuse and at the ...

Women today are so consumed with living in the moment their actually okay with being his forever girlfriend or girlfriend for the "moment". Instead of building toward a marriage we take on being the girlfriend who give up the benefits of marriage. I SPEAK from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. Today, You may have her as a friend or you may be her. You know you don't see yourself spending the rest of your life with him. What if today was your last? Would you be satisfied with spending it with your current boyfriend?

The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. I told my Mom and sisters in Christ if they see me drifting back or looking a mans way for too long.... slap me right on the forehead and simply say, "Stay focused Chanel. Its Gods will not yours or some random. Be patient." My Spirit is willing but my flesh is weak. I want to do right. I desire to do right but no matter how hard I try the devil stays tempting me.

He's trying to convince me to fall into lust again (façade of love) instead of waiting and trusting God. My mind is drowned with thoughts of my past to make me believe there is no hope! The devil is a lie!! I meditate on 2 Corinthians 10:4,5  For the weapons we fight with are not weapons of this world. On the contrary they have devine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish strongholds and every pretension that s...
