License To Sin: Being human…
“You’re only human…u might as well ______.”
Ok show of hands…who has heard someone say this?! Ugh this warms my insides [not in a good way] when I hear this, and don’t let it be out the same person mouth over and over…If I catch you saying it I’ma chop you in the throat…oh…sorry I was in the moment…oopsy
Are we humans…yes BUT this should NOT be an excuse to do or say what we want and that goes for me or anyone else. OH you don’t believe me?! Lets take a lil gander at The Good ol’ Word:
The fact that we are human makes us [we] need Jesus all the more. Jesus came that we might have power over sin. We chose whether or not we will give into to our human nature or not…Alot of times I want to do what I want and say what I want and as a Christian I struggle but I rather go down with a fight. I think hmmm…to do what I want and gratify my flesh temporarily and have to repent for a planned sin or choose to do the opposite. And to be honest sometimes I fail and I do what I want but sin and disobedience cost ya! trust that!
Are Christians perfect..no BUT if you are claiming salvation and yet you are comfortable in sin there is a problem with that…Jesus died for our sins and gives us power to overcome. Its a matter of obedience.
I’m not only human because I have the power through Christ, If we declare that we can do all things through Christ shouldn’t that include resisting sin? You choose.
Ima Chase That There!
“Ladies tip: If he doesn’t pursue you, he doesn’t want you. Simple” @bereolaesque <—-follow him ladies AND gentz
Mannnn I could go on and on to the break of dawn on this one! Society tells women to get what they want…its a new day…be a go getter <—–DON’T DO IT. Geesh this mentality has mess up so many women including myself. You put yourself out there for what you think may be potential when that “potential” is potentially looking at more potential ya follow (@_Candirenee, Hehehe)!
The times may have changed but THEE Word has not and its pretty helpful if we actually apply it as we are suppose to for those of us who profess Christianity, if you don’t then…. Check it:
Now before i say anything…lemme just start off by saying —-> be nobodies fool ladies, you might get “pursued” for the pudding the cookies the candi ya know. Make sure you check motives and take things slow and ask questions. Been there, done that a few times and at this point in my life #SweetBrown AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
Before for I get off topic lemme bring it BACK! HE that FINDETH a WIFE <— underline that in your bibles…nope, circle it. I meeeeeean I can even really explain that indepth cuz its pretty plain and simple, well I can say THIS…it does NOT say she that findeth a husband. From what I see, hear, and in my opinion for men its all about the chase…not that you have to play supa hard to get ladies but it appears as tho’ the male species tend to gravitate towards those who don’t throw themselves out there. They may play wit Miss Hott Pants or Miss Loud Mouf for awhile but it will neva be serious and she ain’t goin’ to meet Ma Dukes!
Ok *takes off invisibilty cloak* there was this guy I was digging we’ll call him Edward (lol). It appeared he liked me, he said he was “attracted to me” I was feeling him…found myself checking on him all the time and seeing when he was available and what-not. I realized that he neva asked me out other than to his place *uhm hmm* and I felt like if he wanted to spend time with me to actually get to know me he would have perhaps been doing what I was doing…taking the initiative. To make a long blog short I fell all the way back and sat my lil hips down because I really want that someOne to want me back and you run the risk of that not being the case when you go chasing a man who never initiated the chase or pursued you as a man should.
So Candi is learning that society dont know shhhhh……poop about the chase and that I don’t have to be aggressive. While my Mr.Goodbar is being perfected Ima live, laugh, love and prepare myself to be found. And as a matter of fact when He comes He won’t even have to chase me, once our paths cross we will continue to walk together…
Candi’s ComMINTS
*ladies allow a man to be a man and pursue you
*don’t play hard to get, either accept or decline graciously
*if being pursued, show appreciation

Good But Not Good Enough
Singleness…Lonliness…randoms…compromise
So watching everyone be all lovie dovey on social media and all in my face it made the loneliness that I had been suppressing surface…or re-surface. My saved friends were busy and nobody was getting together unless I just didn’t get the memo so I started “finding my own way” going back “out” hitting the club scene, trying to meet new “fun” people. <=== this opened up the door to randoms which started knocking on the door of compromise.
I was giving out my number to randoms left and right even when I had a gut feeling that it wouldn’t go anywhere soooo they usually got cut from the team almost immediately.
Ah but there is this one…he isn’t a normal random per se because I know him but then again do you really know a person (ok I’m being too much, lol) This one is a sweetheart, handsome and educated. If I need some attention he is good for it, he listens and I enjoy his company. Sigh. Single, lone, random…compromise. I am too attracted to this man that a lot of times I have to run from him because I know me and this flesh. I have fallen by the wayside to this man and have to get up, dust myself off and get missing. So many great qualities but yet the most important for me is not there. We are not on the same level spiritually. I need someone that is going to walk with me…press t owards Jesus not cause me to stumble and be cool wit it. I want to be with someone that follows Christ and not just professes to but you can see it in his daily life. Someone who protects my body.
Like I can’t get this dude off my mind but I know that even though he is good he isn’t good for me. And then I ask myself why am I attracted to him? Is it because I am single? Lonely? I know for sure he isn’t the one for me and that there are a lot of qualities that he lacks that I need…so why compromise? Why waste time?
I don’t have those answers just yet but what I do know is that I love God more than a temporary fix of a man that isn’t interested in my walk with Christ. As painful sometimes and as lonely as this time in my life may be I have to make the decision to not compromise and to trust God.
Best Halftime Show Ever!
I watched Beyonce’s racy halftime show again with a few people and we were discussing a few things about, you know how us Christians analyze and dissect things, ya know seek truth. Oh but it wasn’t just the church folk talking, immediately social media and even local news cast inquired of Illuminati signs and what-not.
It was the BEST Superbowl performance ever! Ahh but how should we feel as Christians? Should we feel anything? Are you not entertained! Are…you…not…ENTERTAINED!
(For the rest of the blog we will make Bey irrelevant for once in her life because this blog isn’t really about her because that could have been any celebrity [kinda] on stage shaken they rump shaker and straddling the stage and throwing up gang…I mean signs)
Why is it such a big deal???? So what if “people” want to throw up signs and cover one eye, have people stretch their hands towards them (which is a form of worship) to take their energy. ===> It’s a big deal because it’s REAL…I’m talking heaven and hell…demons and angels…hidden [not so much anymore] agendas whether you believe it or not is your business but I encourage you to read up on a few things and educate yourself, not to focus on Illuminati but on deception and how enticing it can be.
Deception can be subtle and the enemy is reaching the masses. What better way to deceive many at one time then by using the biggest, most televised event. What better way to get many to worship an “American Idol”, to stop what they are doing to tune in, ready to receive ..a show <==== But it was the best halftime show ever! A job well done! Who was the performer working for if it was a job well done? [insert Kanye shrug...LOL]
I saw a raunchy performance, half nakedness, all types of subliminal messages with the signs, lighting, fire and the performance was capped off with a good ol’ ” G[g]od Bless You all” then switch to twitter and see a TD Jakes daughter say “Glooooooray, she knows Him” <==== Who? Who does she know? Oh ok. Yea we all ” know God”, have heard about Him, talked about, I get it now.
de*cep*tion
(di-’sep-shen)
noun
1a. the act of being deceived
Deception popped on the scene in the Garden when satan asked Eve ” did God really say not eat from the tree…c’mon now its just a tree [thats my version]” and what happened…the fall of man! Same tactics are being used today! See if this sounds familiar…”Its just a lil weed’, “Its just sex, you can ask for forgiveness later”, “He or she isn’t showing you attention correctly”…”Its just a performance’, “I’m just a fan” <=== trails to deception that can lead to sin or desensitization between what is right or wrong…good or evil…holy or…not.
As believers we have to stand for something…the God we claim to love, honor and obey to death do us part. We are so accepting of behaviors that society says is the new norm we have to be careful because there is a meaning behind everything…EVERYTHING.
Think about this…and I’m OUT!
1. What about the halftime show did you enjoy and how did it help or hurt your Christ walk?
2. For those who say they were just watching for entertainment…really think about the images you saw and how that affected your mind consciously or subconsciously…
3. Where do you draw the line between being a fan and idolatry???
4. Should you be a fan of an artist, actor, etc, that clearly does not believe or live for God the Father of Jesus Christ { I had to be clear because of the [little g] god or idols that people worship and call their god which is not the same as {big g} God}
