my journey to Heaven, &
how this started.

I’m sorry we’ve made Christ so unattractive to you. As if following Him means dedicating your entire life to an eternity of misery.
Because the truth is, loving other people and believing in a God who just desperately wants you to understand how much He loves you is the basis of all of it.
It’s not rules, it’s not regulations, it’s not you’ll never be good enough.
It’s “I love you because, despite everything, you were still worth dying for and He just needed you to know that”.
Because that’s all there is to it. I’ve counted my blessings, and each of you is one of them. Hosanna, friends, hosanna! The King will return!
“When He had received the drink, Jesus said, ‘It is finished.’ With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” — John 19:30.
Father,
forgive me, for
I know
exactly
what I do.
It’s really sad that people were more outraged at what Beyonce was…or was not wearing during the half time show, than the amount of woman who are exploited during the super bowl for sex. This is real people. Woman, children and men are being abducted, trapped, tricked or forced into human trafficking to work in the sex trade. Be a voice. Spread the statistics. It’s a shocking truth and you think it only happens in Europe, or is made up like on Taken but it happens in America. It happens here in Hampton Roads.
Leading my community group in a lesson on prayer tonight. Goodness, I’m so excited. Prayer has radically changed my life this last year. (How?) I love prayer so much. (Why?)
I’ll share more… after you answer me this:
What does prayer mean to you?
Be as brief or opinionated as you’d like :)
I’ll post in a couple days or maybe over the weekend, depending on how many responses y’all send in!
Just FYI, post-game Super Bowl Sunday is the time when the most sex trafficking, sex slavery, and abductions occur in the U.S. So please be careful and pray or think positively.
