Forgive and Forget

Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (Mt 18:22)

We are always asked to forgive and forget but truly how easy it it? In the Gospel Jesus told us to forgive seventy seven times.  Is that really that easy to do in order to forgive and forget!

The next time you hear the phrase think of it, ponder on the words.

If someone hurts you how easy do you forget? You may say I forgive you but honestly when something reminds you about the situation you get that angry feeling again and the hurts and emotions consume you once more. True right? Yes trust me I know.  That is where Jesus wise words comes into play.  He wants that every time we feel the pain or reminded about the situation to look within our hearts and forgive again and again and again even if it take seventy seven times.

So let's try that the next time we forgive or remember something that hurt us to ask God for the grace to forgive and to forget.

Pet Peeve

Do you have a pet peeve or peeves? What do you do when it takes place? Do you grumble and pout, get angry at the situation or simply walk away?

My pet peeve?

From as long as I know being on time meant reaching 5-10 minutes before time given and if you reach at the time given you were late.  Yea my dad different so but then he instilled something in me that would last a lifetime.

Lateness gets on my nerve and to me you have to be on time to show respect to people.  However it has been something I have been faced with on numerous occasions and don't know how to get over it but I've been getting there with some simple steps.

I read a blog recently where the guy's pet peeve was the same as mine.   His wife however, took hours to get ready.  Over time he got over it with the thinking that well I love my wife and the people can wait.  To me that was the hardest thing to accept, why should you be late for a meeting, an appointment or even church!

With deep thought and discussions I came up with a conclusion that would help me with my pet peeve or any for that matter.

 1. Just say one simple but powerful word: Jesus!

 2. When you're faced with the pet peeve think of it as a mirror. Am I late at times and no one makes a fuss. What do I do that may be someones pet peeve?

3. Breath and slowly count to 10 and back to one if you have too.

4. Smile. A big broad one ( this helps me)

So you see the next time you are faced with your pet peeve try the simple but effective steps and who knows it would  become like nothing to you after that

God is Love

I sit I wonder, I ponder! How can we be loved so much that our sins are forgiven yet we say we love and do not forgive.  I always love how Rev Run ends his texts "God is love, love Run" Everything he says has meaning

"God is love"

Numerous times in the bible we see where God shows his infinite Love. Not only in the ever popular verse " God loved the world so much He gave his only begotten son to die for our sins..." but in the many examples when Jesus healed, spent time, laughed and most of all preached. He did not discriminate, he did not say "I'm tired", he never said " just now".  With him it was always about Now and the person he was dealing with.  So yes God is indeed Love and his love is real.

"Love Run, Kali, Susie, bob, nana......"

Love! A four letter word that can make things go right or wrong. It is one word that causes people to stutter, do wierd things and act differently.  But truly what is it to say and show Love? Do we go out of our way to help someone? Do we do everything in our power to do something for someone? Do we not think of ourselves but of the person or people that may be affected. Do we wish we had the power to heal so someone would not be in pain? Do we?

So then we know God is love; though the words, actions, deeds of Jesus; The word made flesh, and all the people He touched.  That's the easy part but now we must be able to Sign "Love...." and have similar words, actions and deeds as Jesus did.  I'm not saying it would be easy but to be like someone we read up on them, learn their moves and know them on an intimate level. So what are you waiting for? You want to show love right?  Well let's get to know about the ultimate love and the man who showed it.


God is love... Love Kali

Take me to where you need me

There I go thinking of you
Lying awake with nothing to do
All I want is some shut eye
But not for nothing will I

Long day pass long day ahead
Work is what? Is it in my head
Don't know why but the question is there
What do I do oh dear

Mission for u, mission for me, mission for humanity
To help others when I can't even help me

Lord o lord lift me
Take me, purify me
Open my heart, my ears, my eyes
Help me to not be that broken child

To you I turn in time of need
To you I run but do I get on my knee?
To you I say please forgive me
I've turn away but I need thee

Take me back to that place
So I  may not be tuning around like the rest of the human race

Grab me, hold me, consume me
Take control and lead me

I love you Lord and I need thee
Take me to where u need me be

Purpose

The smile u bring
The love u share
The feeling u give
Makes it all clear

At times it's hard
At times it's so unclear
At times I don't understand
Be He knows I'm there

Fulfilling my purpose
What I am supposed to be
To love, respect and honour thee
To be the wife I'm supposed to be

Be Me

It's all about me
No not the me you want me to be
Or the one society deemed me be
Certainly not the one you think I should be

Be me! The way He wants me to be
Ever changing always turning
Fine Tuning and tweeking
Out with the old and in with the new
The new me that He wants me to be

Intelligent, Inquisitive, the know why and how lady
The one with hips and butt that's big
The one who reads and could stay away
I'm that lady that He wants me to be

Not the partier
Nope not the over drinker
Love to eat but not that much either
I'm unique, I'm different, I'm open and closed at the same time

You made me and so I'm just going to be......BE ME!

Im back...Struggling but gaining Strength

It sure has been a while, but the writing has been a deep issuse for me.  Guess most of what I wrote was filled with anger and hate and I really  do not want that to be placed here on a Renewed blog.  Life has really slapped me in the face once again but the realisation is there.

I do have somethings I wrote a while now and one I wrote recently so read away and enjoy!

Who knows I wld even blog about that time that the hate came out and was placed on paper.

Wit His love
Kali
