    #ReleasingTheGift

    As I was listening to my pastor’s sermon on Sunday, I had a thought of gifts. We all get excited when someone tells us or presents to us a gift. Who doesn’t like a gift, right? For me it could be something as simple as a card or gift card (smile) and I’m excited; and for others it could be clothes, shoes, makeup, and the list goes on and on.

    Let it Go! 

    Have you ever had someone to do you so wrong that you decide, “you know what, I’m done with you?” Like they did you real dirty, you know the unforgivable dirty, you know! Lol. As a Christian we are all striving to be more like Jesus, we are are striving to be more loving, forgiving, non-judgmental, you know all of those things and then some. All those things are good and cute until somebody does you wrong, like really wrong. I was reading about Judas last night, every time I read that story or even think of that story I think, he was so grimy. He ain’t right! Have you…
