Don't Judge Me

Acts 16:15 NKJV – And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.”… Confession: I like to eat…a lot! While I promote a healthy lifestyle, mostly eating clean and exercising regularly, I also enjoy fast food, soul food, bar food, Mexican food, Chinese food. I don’t discriminate yet moderation is key!

Personal Growth Inside – Out Galatians 6:4-7 – Carefully examine yourself. Don’t be impressed with yourself. You shall reap what you sow Phil 2:12 – Work out your own soul’s salvation The “Inside-Out” approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self — with your paradigms, your character, and your motives.

Yeah, that makes sense.  What I DO know, though, is that I have been prepared for this, whatever this is?!? How though?......
