Kids that can’t be helped


Jeremiah 32: 33
“They would not listen or respond.”

The pain of watching these kids withdraw and hid in the house is like poison killing me. I must tell you I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. I thought all kids love to go out with their friends and have a good time. It’s not true, these kids sit in the house day in and day out. Watching TV and playing Xbox games.

I told my husband of a dream I had, we were driving on the Highway and all of a sudden we came across an accident. My eye caught a blue engine laying in the road and drove past it, then I looked up to the left of me I saw two people lying on the side of the road. The woman's face was cut in have and lay next to the road while the rest of her head and the top part of her body lay a little way from her. Her husbands head was decapitated and his head lay next to the road. His body lay in the distance with blood spurting out of his body.

I woke up feeling dreadful and started praying for my family and friends. I thought about this dream and I must tell you, I believe it means that I am watching how people are wasting their lives and in the end, it is going to be a disaster waiting for them.

Both my husband and I have been speaking to these kids and they just don’t listen to a word we say never mind respond. It's almost like speaking to a brick wall.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord You, know best, we have spoken to these two kids and are trying to get them to live their lives and to get jobs. Lord help us in Jesus name Amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
