There’s one voice I follow, and it’s the voice of the Good Shepherd💕

“Money may be the root of all evil, but I think pride and a rebellious spirit are the sunshine and the rain on that root.”
I love this statement!♥️
It's a good indicator.. or warning light. Pride, rebellion, the first sins, right? Its favorite, so it makes sense to me that it would strike at the church with it.
It sits at the heart of nearly every evil thing we do to each other. Money may be the root of all evil, but I think pride and a rebellious spirit are the sunshine and the rain on that root.
I read the other day about how having an accusatory nature is an indicator that oneself is not dealing with their own guilt by repenting openly. When we feel guilty, we (most of us) point at someone else to accuse. I should have bookmarked it. It was well written.

On my drive home, I thought about the strife within the Body of Christ.
And it’s not because some people aren’t truly part of the Body, as many proclaim.
It’s because the Body is full of pride, and that creates strife.
They say: You don’t understand the Word correctly.
Actual meaning: I understand it, and if you don’t believe exactly the way I do, you must not be a true believer.
That’s it. That’s the cause of all the fighting I see here on X between fellow believers. Pride creates strife.
Are you listening to Jesus? Are you walking in love? Are you looking at the fruit of the Spirit being produced?
Or are you simply ignoring everything Jesus says to look for and in your pride thinking you know better?
Self reflect if you are constantly finding yourself in a heated back and forth with your brothers and sisters in Christ. Pray for God to reveal to you what the root cause of this arguing is. And humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up.🙏🕊️

I was 26 years old and already the mother of 4. Cancer survivor. Living in poverty. In an abusive marriage.
But I was so full of the joy of the Lord. I can only look back and glorify the Lord for sustaining me.🙌♥️🕊️

😂I love that this box tells us that these ice cubes are frozen!
As opposed to unfrozen ice cubes, which is just water!💦 🤷♀️💗

The world is indeed full of darkness, but when you follow Jesus, you walk in brilliant light! The darkness has no effect on you when you have the light of life shining and guiding your path.♥️🕊️

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believe Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32🕊️

Saturday night Stacy story:
When I was 20, I was 6 months pregnant with my second daughter, and my oldest was 1.
My little brother was 9, and he came and stayed the night with us. My husband left to go to his parents and work on a vehicle.
We lived out in the country, about 7 miles from his parent’s house, and we only had one vehicle, and no phone.
He left with our vehicle.
Then, I noticed a wasp in our trailer. I was young and scared, so I did what any rational person would do. I packed up a diaper bag, and told my 9yr old brother that we were going to walk to my in-laws house (in July, 90 degrees), 7 miles on gravel roads.
I put my daughter in her stroller, and off we went!
It took us several hours, but we finally made it. But, nobody was home and the doors were locked.
We were 10 miles from town, so we just waited. I prayed someone would show up, because we were hot, dehydrated, hungry and tired.
After a couple hours, my in-laws came home and were shocked we were there.
Needless to say, it was a really bad decision, but we survived!🤷♀️
We’ll never forget it!
