What's on your mind?

Here's hoping yall had a better day than I had. So glad it's my Friday!

Please forgive me if this comes across as abrasive:


~Matthew 6:1-4 (NIV)

Ultimately, I don't know your heart nor am I the Righteous Judge. This is simply something to consider for next time. I made this mistake countless times before.

Well jeez! I am going through a hard time right now, and doing that brought me a little joy. So, I thought by sharing it that it would make someone else smile, too. Wow! I won't be doing that again anytime soon!! Sorry!

I will never be good enough for one.

Now that you mention that...

Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

~Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV)

Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5-7). It all boils down to the motive. If you genuinely wanted to bring joy to others while glorifying God in doing so, that would be pleasing to Him (1 Cor. 10:31, Gal. 5:22-23). If it was simply to boost your own image, then men's praise became your reward (James 4:6, John 12:42-43). Social media is today's version of this, and I admit, it's very addicting. We all need to be careful of this (1 Cor. 13:4, Rom. 3:23, 1 Thess. 4:9-12).

Like I said, I don't know your heart nor am I the Righteous Judge. This is why it's important to read, study, and know Scripture, daily. Doing so saved me much heartache, and refusing to do so only brought me more of it. God bless!

I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!

Sounds like that'd be you, Somber.

Yeah, that's basically how I react! Hahaha! xD

So get in touch with him once you are available to hang out with him. It seems you are interested.

I don't know, it was so unexpected. I had pretty bad anxiety for a while afterwards. I don't always do very well when someone shows so much interest in me all at once in that way. It takes some time for me to know if I'm interested in someone, like I need to develop a connection first, otherwise it's too much for my anxiety to handle. I probably need to work on this trait. I just wish I knew how to respond in these situations, and I don't want to ever hurt someone or ever lead anybody on either. It's hard.

I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!

Hope you have a blessed Sunday as well!!!

The next time I get called into work, I'm simply going to say no.

In fact, this will be my specific reply when they text the group, needing someone.

.... I failed to say no today .... =/

Because you have a good heart, Somber.

Aww! Hope it goes well!! That was my greatest struggle with my last job I couldn't say "no". It can be hard!

I managed to say no to working Saturday today.

I don't feel too bad about it, I'm like the only one who never takes any vacation days off and whatnot.

Matthew 7: 1-2 ~ "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." So, with all due respect, please chill out. Thanks and God bless you.

You're right to not feel bad. Folks need to step up. Did you do anything worthy of leaving all your coworkers in a bind? (Kidding)

 

[RileyG]

Goodnight. I must sleep now.
