MondayFunDay Discernment


MondayFunDay Discernment Got two jobs, one as a BHT, second at dairy Queen, living the dream, living at my Mama's but Im grateful that she don't have to always clean and cook/I would've never seen this coming as a youngin learning from my Mamas drama to become a professional crook/I was and am definitely smarter than I look but remember you can't grow in the same place that made you spiritually shook/can you sincerely imagine reading a book with no way to turn back the page??? So how slowly would you carefully or could you carelessly speed read the book????/but look, Jesus don't allow trials & tribulations in our soul for them to burden you down/He allows them so it can be like fertilizer that helps you and I grow even though we do not understand how?/we don't just go through the process, we grow through the process and come out more wise (mentally/spiritually) and less proud/Lord died for you and I so how can I not be lockdown and typically seen with a smile everytime I'm lining up for chow?????/how can you and I expect a peaceful life or mind, if you and I are constantly argumentive, selfish or stubborn?/why do sponsors play mental games with Chosen Ones who knew before they thought it through, right from the jump this sucker believes I'm dumb, his pride will kill, I sealed the deal, I pray he heals, and play at will so he can feel like the battles won, huh, do it make you wonder 🤔??? By the way, I stuttered what I uttered 😂/you ain't gotta wonder that when you are sincerely happy you'll enjoy the Muzik, but when it's the opposite you will understand the lyrics/if you don't attempt to love yourself to the fullest, you will unwillingly chase people that are wicked/if you have to ask or tell the one's you chill with to carry bricks, they are definitely not the ones to build with/and on some real chit, when he or she is going through a real mid life crisis????/if it is a human they run to, is where there Christ lives.... AMEN 🙌
