I flushed my Potty Mouth

Have you ever been out shopping or grabbing a bite to eat and you hear someone cursing? I mean every word out of their mouth is a four letter curse word. I was that person almost every word out of my mouth was a curse word. I called my friends female dogs and would let the f word slip all the time. Oh, and don’t let me be upset, the curse words came flowing out of my mouth like a river. . Sometimes they would even slip at church while I would whisper to a friend. (Of course I felt bad when I did it at church). Smh, yes I was that person who didn’t care what people thought about me when I used those words. BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP this and BLANK, BLANK that… was the extent of my vocabulary. When I started changing my life around I wanted to stop cursing. Oh man was it hard as ever! I would do okay until I became relaxed in a conversation and BOOM a curse word. I would immediately ask God to forgive. Then I thought I was getting better until I went to kickball practice and BOOM another curse word. HUhhh, I became so frustrated and disappointed in myself. I thought since I was going to church more that those words would automatically stop coming out of my mouth. However, my heart had to be completely changed and purged. It took some months to using the cursing all the time and a couple more mouths to stop letting the curse words slip. But I mastered my potty mouth. How? I prayed and read my bible. I also did some fasting too. The more I read my bible the more I learned how to live. The more I prayed and fast the easier it became. Before I knew it I didn’t use curse words anymore. Now I’m living Potty Mouth Free!!! If you really want to give it up God will help you but you must put forth the effort to change.

    This is powerful sis! My husband has the same testimony. It was so hard for him to stop cursing. But through the Holy Ghost, reading the word and praying constantly, He was made an overcomer! God is so good to us!

Denouncing my membership from Alpha Kappa Alpha

Image
January 15 use to be an exciting day for me, but in April 2011 something changed me... I was praying to God asking him to reveal the things to me that I needed to change or let go in my life so that I could be closer to him... I had a dream one night in April that I was holding my AKA key chain and it fell out of my hand, as it hit the floor it broke in half, the pink broke away from the green and the AKA ... broke off... It took me two weeks to be obedient because I was scared of what people would think, but I finally began my process off denouncing my membership... I told the AKAs about my decision and some supported me but to my surprise some had already did the same thing... This was a big decision but it wasn't the only thing that I had to let go to be fully committed to Jesus and to be in his will...I had to let it go so that I could be closer to God... Many people think that these Sororities and Fraternities are harmless but I noticed the more I read my bible the more i...

Stop Playing the Victim

Often times in situations such as disagreement/arguments or when things didn’t go my way in the pass I would play the victim. I would automatically get in my feelings, get an attitude and choose to respond to the situation as if everyone was out to get me. Often times I would rehearse in my head how I would respond to that person the next time we would speak. Or I would dwell on whatever didn’t go my way and go around with my lips poked out and had an attitude with everyone. Lately, God has brought this to my attention. Basically he told me,”STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM!!!” It so easy to throw myself Pity Party and of course I was VIP. I never looked at the situation from the other person’s point of view and most importantly I never looked at the situation from God’s point of view. When I started looking at the situation from the other person point of view I notice that I looked at the person and their background. I also ask myself, “Is there something I’m doing or how I’m responding that ...

Press On

This morning, before doing my hour of prayer, the enemy started putting thoughts in my head to go back to sleep and do my hour of prayer later. I have to admit I was tired and wanted to go back to sleep but I knew if I pushed it off I wouldn’t do it. So, I pressed my way out of bed and began to pray. The enemy came back while I was praying and put every thought in my head to distract me from my talk with God. However I pressed on and kept praying. I noticed when I started praying that tired spirit left me. If we could just continue to press on when things get rough or even when we don’t feel like it we will reap the rewards of being loyal and faithful to God. The enemy will try to trick you and tell you that it’s no use and that you are wasting your time. Just remember God blesses those who remain loyal to him.
