Inhabitation

Current mood:happy

In church today, Pastor reminded us that the Bible says, "God inhabits the praises of His people." To inhabit means to live or to set up residence. Thus, God LIVES in the praises of His people. God has an address, and His address is based on my praise. Whenever and wherever I praise Him, God will manifest Himself right then and there. It doesn't have to be in a church, temple, cathedral, synagogue, mosque, etc. It can be in the bathroom at work, in the car on theto the grocery store, on at the bank (Thank you Jesus)! God will set up residence right where you are! You don't have to wait til Sunday to "go to worship" because God will come to you when you praise Him. Just think about when and where you want your blessing, and praise the Lord right then and there.

This makes me think of another thing. Don't wait until you need a blessing before you praise the Lord. Praise Him for OTHER PEOPLE'S blessings. Praise Him for the blessing you know are ON THE WAY. One of my buddies just told me today that he got a job...a salary-based job, making almost as much as I'm making. It would have been easy for me to hate on him and think things like "How you get a job like that? You don't have experience in that field. You don't have a degree." But you know what? I am SO happy for him! Yall just don't know. And I praise and thank God for giving my friend FAVOR to  get a job that he may not have been qualified for. You would think I was the one with a new job that's how happy I am for him. Why? Because my blessing is on the way! (And so is yours).

Love ya!

  Ms. Cass K Hey - God "qualifies" those He calls.  He doesn't always call the "qualified".  I am a witness!!!

I recieved a text today from a gentleman I use to date almost 2 years ago. My last date with him was around...Feb of 2005. The text said, "Hey remember me (name omited) gimme a call when u get a chance." I met this guy right before the super bowl, so if my last memory of him is late Feb, that means we dated for less than 2 months. We hung out a few times, but it was never anything serious. No relationship at all. As a matter of fact, I don't even think he knows my last name, that's how NOT serious it was. Since then, I've talked to him once around April, but I was no longer interested (I was never really interested in the first place) so the phone call was short and dry.

So fellas, why does a guy keep a lady's phone number for so long (I deleted his number around March...April at the latest)? Why does a man want to see a woman all of a sudden after such a long time (keeping in mind there was no relationship, and we rarely knew each other).

LADIES. How do you respond to such an unexpected contact? Should I be more concerned than flattered? Should I be more flattered than concerned? Should I give him the cold shoulder and forget he even contacted me?

BTW. I already know what I plan to do. I'm just curious what other people think. Let me know.

  Sir I'm thinking he was looking through his phone, saw your number and had a little flashback. If thinks did not really end (not that they began at all) on a bad note, he might have thought, "Why not hit her up and see what's good?" I wouldn't do it, but diffrent strokes...

  Marcus Owens Hmm... I really don't know.  I have numbers in my phone now for ladies I haven't talked to in forever but I wouldn't call at this point.  There is really no reason to do so.  I'm just to lazy to go through my phone and delete all of the un-necessary numbers. LOL
