Soul Food…My Walk with God.
I learned from my friend Oldgirlladylee it's
great to read different versions of the bible. I love the site
biblegateway.com They have every translation on earth lol. KJV is my
favorite but when I read something I don't quite understand I always go
to this site for clarity. Different translations will have me like whoaaaa lol
Genesis 12:2-3
KJV
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
CEB (Common English Bible)
2 I will make of you a great nation and will bless you. I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you,
those who curse you I will curse;
all the families of earth
will be blessed because of you.
EXB (Expanded Bible)
2 I will make you a great nation,
and I will bless you.
I will make ·you famous [L your name great],
·and [or so that] you will be a blessing to others.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and I will place a curse on those who ·harm [or curse] you.
And all the ·people [families; clans] on earth
will be blessed through you [C the promises of the Abrahamic covenant].”
GNT (Good News Translation)
2 I
will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation. I
will bless you and make your name famous, so that you will be a
blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
But I will curse those who curse you.
And through you I will bless all the nations.”[a]
I will bless you.
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you, I will curse.
Through you every family on earth will be blessed.”
IT has been a WHILE since I've done this.
Somewhere along the way I got off track. Not really doing anything that I don't think God would approve of, but I got lazy. Slack.
I was talking to a friend this morning and I told her one of my prayers was for God to bless me so I can truly be a blessing.
I have some plans of things I would love to do for others but sometimes I can't because resources are limited. My heart is in the right place but my resources are limited.
I want God to change that.
It's not all about me and my family. Yes we are truly blessed but sometimes I want to do more for others.
It's an area I'm truly working in.
I always give of my time, but I'm about to start giving more.
I'm excited and I can not WAIT for God to open these doors!
Can you tell I'm excited!? I am EXCITED.
Watch for my testimony. Just watch. I'm about to sit back and watch God work!
If y'all have a minute listen to this song. It was written by a local musician. I LOVE THIS SONG. They got extra crunk!! YESSSSSSSSSSSS
God can do ANYTHING but fail!!! TRY HIM AND WATCH GOD WORK!!!
I'm not perfect, just striving to be the woman God wants me to be. Keeping my life lined up with the WORD!

Opening your blog page was a blessing to me this morning…the meditations of my heart, resounded the same…Truly, God has a way of dealing with my “struggles.” Your scripture post was just what I needed to read, I needed that Soul Food.

may I suggest, prom dresses for some lucky underprivileged girl who may be able to attend because it. That is way to use your God given sewing talent to help others.

My father used to say “speak right, because your mouth may be the only bible folks read today.”
Your resources are never limited if you have a brain and your mouth. Our time is important in this society now, and you cannot over-commit; you burn out. But you can always give encouragement –– that’s easy!

So happy that you are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I pray my Sister in Christ that God will give you the desires of your heart. I know what it feels like to have a heart to give but your resources are limited. Being walking in that for a while now BUT I know that what I can give is prayer and that is able to go and do what I can’t. Love You and God Bless.

I like the idea of making a prom dress for a girl. I am sure that someone in your church, or a teacher at your daughter’s school know of a young women that would be blessed by your gift. I am sure that she would feel God’s grace and love through your generosity. It would be like tithing a 10th of your crop in Deut. 22. And remember, we always fall short, but we shouldn’t ever stop running the race or fighting the good fight. Best wishes. I will pray for you:)

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Ps 37:4. Girl, just because your heart is in the right place he will honor it. I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same way. Until I get the EXTRA I’m going to boost giving with what I have. I know God will provide the increase when he sees fit. I know you’re doing tons with just being transparent on your blog. You have such an honest heart. I’m sure you’re blessing more people than you know!!!!
