Thought for Today: Dreams,Messages, Omens

This was a week full of them. Three days this week I was walking and saw two different dead birds on the ground in front of the office where I worked. They made me feel weird; because, I remembered running into a bird with my car shortly before marrying my husband. I always felt animals in some way connected to divine messages to which we should pay attention. I'm not sure why this is; it's not so much the animal more than the feeling that God is trying to tell us something. It gets easy to shut God out when we get too busy to hear directly from him. Because of this, I believe he sends us messages in other ways. Next was a dream I had. I dreamed that I placed my hand on the cage of a wild animal at something like a zoo. The animal was quick to attack, grabbing my finger. I struggled to get away and finally, I did. There was some pain from the attack. When I woke up, I thought it was a strange dream. However, the next day, my co-worker mentioned he put his finger inside the cage of a wild boar to pet it and the wild boar bit his finger. He said he went to two separate hospitals and they told him he'd lose the fingertip and his nail wouldn't grow back. But he said he was happy that he escaped with his life. Later on, he mentioned his fingernail grew back and the tip of his finger healed. I told him about my dream and how uncanny it was that his story was similar to my dream. He said well I had a live manifestation of your dream. Then, years ago my goal was to interject good in the world. As I felt words have power. So I would find ways of saying good things to people like "Bless your heart", "Bless you", also Bible verses when appropriate. However, lately, I learned that culture has turned Bless your heart into an offense and has taken on a negative connotation. Lastly, This week the stock market took a significant dip. Nothing special about that; just curious that it happened as well. Praying for clarity in all this.

Thought for Today: Reservations are required

When going to a popular restaurant, tables are typically reserved indicating that your table will be ready at the time reserved for you. At popular events, without assigned seating, you'll find that people reserve seats for individuals in their party to make sure they have a seat waiting for them. Imagine, you reserved a place in your heart for that special someone that is coming to be in your life. But it took time for them to arrive. As you're reserving the seat for them others may inquire about filling that space. However, you are committed to insuring that the reservations are preserved. No matter how many people are in line waiting for a seat you are determined not to let that space go to just anyone, it has to go to the person for which it was reserved. Is your life filled with people who didn't respect the reservation requirements? Did you allow someone to take a seat prematurely. And now the seat is occupied with the wrong somebody when the right person for

Thought for today: The missing leader

Since the conversations about racism, hateful actions and disrespect are now open. Can I ask the rap culture when will you stop the disrespect and hateful language in your music, especially, towards black women? If you can't be respectful to your own people; how do you expect it of others? Maybe try holding others to the same standards for which you hold yourselves? Maybe God will give you more leadership responsibility when you start showing up as leaders. Stop calling, treating, and responding to us as if we are there for your sexual gratification. I refuse, and now I no longer am attracted to you. I have a desire and a need for someone who will help me get into heaven.

Thought for today: Jesus Loves Us

I want to lead into the show by telling you an interpretation of this one story in the Bible of this one mom’s struggle and what it may have felt like for her to have her son locked up and given the death penalty. As he was dying, one of the last things he said was recorded in the book of John 19:25-27 “26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Dear woman, here is your son,'  27 and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' From that time on, this disciple took her into his home." and it reads Mary was robbed: A son and a mother’s bond is usually unexplainable. He can do no wrong in her eyes. Even when he is dead wrong, that mother still holds the right to say “But he is my baby.” The judge, jury, video, all witness accounts can call him guilty and in that mother’s eyes he is innocent as the day he was born. A mother’s bond with her son is difficult and sometimes even impossible to break challenged onl
