"...Do not let me be disgraced, for I trust in you. May integrity and honestly protect me, for I put my hope in you. " Psalm 25:20-21 NLT
Guiding light is not the name of the soap oprea my grandmother Maple use to make my brother and I pain stakenly watch while she baby sat us. No, this is the promise that our Father has given to us when we decide as the scirpture says, to put our hope in him. How do we put our hope in God? We have to be upstanding and on accord with the word of God. We have to be men and women of valor, pocess the type of intergerty that is pleasing to God. The scripture above says that along with honesty, God will protect us in our lives. If we truly trust in God, we must first establish a trust with Him he can be proud of. This is not a one way street, what we do when no one is around us is who we are. Who do you want to be known as to God? We have to build up a repore with God so that the enemies of the world cannot run our names through the mud, we will not be disgraced by them, God will guide our path so through him, and him alone we be able to continue to walk with our shoulders back and heads high. Stay thirsty my friends.......

A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste
"And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts (deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds). For as members of Christ's one body you are called to live in peace. And be thankful (appreciative), (giving praise to God always)." Colossians 3:15 NLT/AMP
For some reason unknown to me I devopled an affintany for the soul singer Booby Womack.I dont't know if it is how he often narrarates the song for minutes on minutes before he sings one note, or the tone of his voice, but he is my guy. Mr. Womack started one particular song talking to a women he was about to end an realatinship with saying, " you always worrying what yo girlfriend got, what you AINT got..." We can fall in the same trap stated in this iconic song. We allow our minds to lose focus on God and start looking around for things that are not in or apart of our lives. We must trust in Him and His plan for us instead of looking at every Tom, Dick, and Harry for examples of what we think our lives should be similar to. Your mind will tell you that you are not good enough, or no one belives in you. That is simply not true, The Most High belives in you when we are too weak minded to do so for ourselves. Talk to your Heavenly father and be in a mind space so you can hear him. The instructions that He has for us we lead our paths and calm our eager minds.
