Day 3: Proverbial Girl

SAY WHAT?

Can God Trust Me?

BREAKDOWN: Who's on your team? Our life is like a team and we are the team captain. We have the opportunity to manage our team, and that includes the people you encounter every day–your parents, siblings, friends, classmates, and yes, even your teachers. God blesses us with different types of relationships that He trusts us to handle well. Even when people are hurtful or annoying, like little brothers or sisters, He expects us to handle them with love and with kindness.

Now ask yourself this question, "Am I helping or hurting my team?" It's easy to help the team when you feel appreciated and valued, but that task can be a bit more challenging when the team hurts us. Jesus is such a great example. God trusted Him with a great assignment, and Christ showed the greatest love to people who didn't love Him back. He was able to do this because He trusted God.

"Her husband can trust her." Trust is the key to this wise proverb. The way you respond to the world around you shows how you can be trusted in it and with the people in it. God can trust her because He knows she can trust Him to protect her in every situation, even painful relationships.

A Proverbial Girl can be trusted by God to properly manage relationships that He gives her. She ensures that everyone feels appreciated and valued, just as God the Father makes us feel. And as God can trust you with the relationships you have, He will trust to give you more relationships to both manage well and cherish forever.

HI GOD, IT'S ME!
I want t o be someone you can trust, so teach me to trust that you will not put me in any relationship that won't ultimately help me to grow.

Show me how to identify the people you want in my life and how to manage them properly, even when I fee l mismanaged. In Jesus' name, Amen.

LIVE IT OUT:
What relationship in your life challenges you the most? How might that challenge help you to grow in love?

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take.  The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?  Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but when we a

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif
