I'm so thankful that promotion comes from the lord (encouraged recently to stay humble, keep moving forward to jesus)................

Sheri 12/11/2023 saw the Beyonce movie last night. And many a christian has bashed beyonce. And it surely looked like she was "exalting" herself the entire show. Luke 14:11
"For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." I ain't about to pass any sort of judgement upon beyonce like many a christian has..............it could all be a show. Behind the scenes she could be a humble lady?????????????????????????

   I can see the "benefit" for the crowd though to, her concerts provide a "escape" for them....................for a few minutes............................a escape from bills and debt, and long hours at work......................for a few minutes what one time a year or so.................they are in beyonce's current "dreamworld".  Taken far far away from all their problems for them few minutes. 

From what I saw in the movie it appears that beyonce is well aware that she is providing a "escape" for her concert goers, and factors them into her every tour. 

...........at the very least she's thoughtful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

(my latest painting : ) 

I'm so thankful that promotion comes from the lord (encouraged recently to stay humble, keep moving forward to jesus)................Psalm 75:5-7 "Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."
  Since a few weeks ago when the elder of the apostolic christian church of america suggested I was a terrible friend, and not that great of a christian etc. etc. ------------ I had really got it in my head (that and being called pretty well spam twice --------- among other things YIKES) basically I was ganged up on so much, I got it in my head that ok now I'm demoted to wazuu.
but it ain't the case.........................
I just gotta stay humble
put one foot in front the other like I told god in prayer last night
 If I am humble and putting one foot in front of the other......................................THINGS IS ABOUT TO WORK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

  And also ------------------ being um "setteth up" for many out there, that might just mean that you have some fellowship. I'm pretty 100% that being "setteth up" by god doesn't necessarily mean and probably for most of us doesn't mean that you know we have a top 10 book on amazon or something. 

   But if you have been demoted by god............I want to be encouraging to you as well. You can still be "setteth up" by god, it's not to late for you, are you breathing THERE IS GREAT HOPE FOR YOU THEN!

  Those are my thoughts for today. Hope everyone's week is going good!
 Add on to this post:I'm a dork today so..............................I really like a element to this song, and in general the happy beat to it.................but the element of loving each other I think that's the idea...................(Luke 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,) If you are like holding grudges, etc. etc. you pry won't have the abundant life jesus came to this earth for you to have (or not yet in that event). I really believe, god/jesus wants us forgiving one another, having "bowels of mercies" loving one another. Does that mean I have to agree with everything everyone does ------------- no. But it does mean I'll love you even if you make a lot of mistakes. Wouldn't it be great if this song happened on this earth, if this earth was filled with shiny happy people holding hands. Imagine it.
people loving each other
people forgiving one another
people looking past each others flaws to the good
(course what can be done is we each can start with ourselves, loving people, bearing much fruit, doing good to ALL MEN Galatians 6:10 "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.")

Ms. Eby's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..............

When I'm in pain, talking about it usually = some kind of healing so here I go to counseling again.........(I believe there are a great people out there hurting that need someone to talk to, and maybe they are afraid to talk - I recommend talking!!!!!!!!!!!)......

Sheri 12/10/2023 had experienced a ton of "church abuse" cause she is to good looking 12/09/2023 pic below, no makeup on - besides some lip gunk, near 50...................................she's fine, they say if you be yourself you will find "your tribe" 

everyone has "a tribe"

some people their tribes ain't a church (I still attend church though, but now I'm back to the mega church where I can blend in, maybe shake a persons hand say hello on sunday 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💓💓💓💓 it in my "permanent villian era")

naw

1 Corinthians 12:25 "That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another."

the "lone wolf" idea isn't isolated to just wolves

naw

there's "lone sheep" 

but Jesus leaves the whole flock for us so - no worries 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Sheri 2015 in this blog post had "feelings" that got hurt, she was such a cry baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not sheri 12/10/2023 post being attacked by christians FOR YEARS...............

I'M BORN AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BAPTIZING ME ALL MY "BAPTIZERS" 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓.................

UPDATE: The elder of the church has e-mailed me husband refusing to go to counseling with me................(In all the parenthesis """" is a segment from what I just sent to the apostolic christian church of america's yahoo group)
"""""""""""""""""""1 Timothy 6:17-19 "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life."

  The elder of portland/silverton is very wealthy to he lives in a large expensive house! 

He shouldn't be able to refuse to communicate with me, he should be held to the word of god............but he appears to be exempt from the word of god. 

things often don't get better til people TALK

Hebrews 13:16 "But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."

The elder of the portland/silverton ACCA in my estimation should have to go to counseling with me as a elder of the church that is supposed to be heeding gods word, who bashed me the way he did.............he should I believe have to be held to the high standard of the word of god......................and try harder to love me for one. And for that I think he needs to go to counseling...........he wasn't in my estimation loving me the day he suggested..........

I was a bad friend

he said my blog was covered in sin, didn't specify what "sin"

he bashed me to all hell

apparently this is ok to do in the apostolic christian church of america

I'm hurt

and nobody appears to care at all"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

When I'm in pain, talking about it usually = some kind of healing so here I go to counseling again.........(I believe there are a great people out there hurting that need someone to talk to, and maybe they are afraid to talk - I recommend talking!!!!!!!!!!! Though I find there is a never ending amount of people that will probably misunderstand you, and hate you, and judge you..............which is fine.............like long as you have it good in your heart for others and um and not be in pain like I am right now - pain I don't think is a good thing to carry around --------- seems like I'm expected to just BAMN not be in pain all the sudden but that isn't how my getting to the point I'm not in pain no more works out) There's a bible verse talking about in heaven our tears will be dried so I'm far from not the only one currently in some extreme pain Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it."
  I've proposed to my husband and john which I hope he accepts cause if he isn't willing to talk - that's not good James 3:17 "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." "easy to be intreated" means easy to get a conversation going with said person. 

   Snippets of the chain of e-mails recently sent to john and his wife jane and my husband...........
JOHN WAS RIGHT THOUGH I AIN'T THAT GREAT OF A FRIEND,
BUT I TRY MY BEST I SWEAR I DO,
I NEED JOHN TO TELL THE ABOVE VERY CHRISTIAN GUY (counselor but I don't want to say who because he might be indunuated with phone calls then), that I am a horrible friend like you suggested the day you verbally beat me down so bad I was actively in the bathroom, considering how I could run into the kitchen and slit my wrist,
I need you to tell this guy how horrible I am john,
so I can then talk about that,
  God gave me this verse recently.....................Galatians 6:2-4 "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another."
Some churches think they are "something" and some people out there think they are "something"
not that I'm not saying
offices in the body of christ - and varies um I don't know um types of servers in the body of christ, and also offices in the body of christ exist they do
the problem is is when any of us think we are "something"
.................................jesus said
"whoever is without sin cast the 1st stone"
are you without sin john????????????????????????
then why did you cast all those stones at me??????????????
course this what I want to say to your face in counseling,
and cry,
I want to cry,
a lot,
in counseling,
and have john do most the talking for me - while I cry,
cause I want to fit it
I wanted to fit in so bad at the apostolic christian church of america not really "on board" from the jump with the bangs, and no wedding ring thing..............I went a span of time albeit a small span of time without bangs or a wedding ring.................
tried so hard to fit in
to belong
to have a church that I knew ok they love me



and if you tell me john, cause I bashed your church so you had a right then to bash me....................it's your churches view that I "bashed" it appears to be your churches view that I am a hateful bashing "insert common derogatory word here"
hence I need counseling Ephesians 5:11 "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
I was coming from (something like Ephesians 5:11 - I wouldn't say fully that verse but in the "zone" of that verse..............not a "bash" place in my mind at all I'm saying though I'm evidently viewed as a church bashing "insert common derogatory word here")  in my own mind on my blog the entire time --------------- I did get out of hand once with the filming of the inside of the church but I deleted that blog post.


bible it says to put away childish things
now that don't mean I don't crack a joke on my blog
that means - not retaliate, etc
and I have mostly done that,
I happen to of ended up fervently anti-the commandments of men
also anti traditions, rules, ------- whatever you want to call them, anything that isn't the bible
anything a church has tacked onto them that isn't in the bible
that isn't the bible
I am billions pro the 10 commandments these days, I feel everything the bible says for godliness in in the bible, there is no need for added on rules, or traditions or commandments of men, here I have the verse..............

2 Timothy 3:15-17 "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

perfect and entire in my mind, no need for no additions

people instead of loving me............ often are holding against me this list of things either they view I'm doing wrong, or that I'm not doing "right enough" for their liking
I'm not the perfect perfect perfect segment of the body of christ................1 Corinthians 4:10 "We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised."
It's unfair that so many people out there exclude me, and don't like me so much cause I don't fit their perfect perfect robot perfect idea of how a perfect little jesus robot of perfect should look like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Some of the things I am currently being hated for I think are some my strong points.............
that I have some fervent disdain for any "additions" to the word of god - I'd say that's pretty solid thing to have (don't be of the club - "whoo hoo add to god's word ya")
That I think about things.........................and then blog about them, but that I'm a thinker, that's good
(think about tv and the devils "agenda" behind some those tv shows for example - it's good to be a thinker)
  That I blog and do confess my faults, not many christians that I know of confess their faults like that???????????? If it's going on I just ain't hearing about it - is what I'm saying..............I never ever hear christians confessing their faults online, or to me............James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
..............
even my struggles I'd view as a positive cause they cause me to have much need to pray to be in god's word Ephesians 5:20 "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;"
I know I am viewed as worthless junk basically,
but my own view of myownself isn't lining up with this "insert common derogatory word here" worthless junk kind of view the apostolic christian church of america seems to have of me these days.
 I absolutely rejoice in my infirmities that the power of christ may rest upon me (think that's how paul worded that???????)
sheri
people don't get me though
most are "perfect"
not like me
they "perfect"

but me sheri live this blog post perfection is supposed to be something people "move" toward" and instead lot of people like to at least think to themselves whether consciously or unconsciously that "BAMN THEY IS PERFECT NOW" 

  When that most often is not the case!!!!!!! 99% of the time or some high percentage that probably isn't the case. Hebrews 6:1 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God," Are we supposed to move onto "let us go on unto perfection" yes....................but that probably for a lot of us is a real long walk down the street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If all I do at counseling is cry..........if that's all the "resolution" that can take place, a good cry it'll pry be good for me.

Mr. Dabkowski's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose...................

It's good to dress modest, and yes even not have bangs so as to not be "conformed to the world" BUT DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR FLESH WHEN YOU DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................

I have no update really sheri 12/9/2023 don't. Just trying to "stay positive" in a very bleak life that IS NORMAL CAUSE THERE AIN'T APOSTLES ANYMORE ACCORDING TO MOST ALL PASTORS. Which means you all are without friends or family because your friends like mine moved to far away from you, as did your families. And you all are also just attacked, just attacked and spammed so bad you had to leave tik tok, facebook and instagram.....(did go back on instagram though cause one my kids is off to college right now).....only "social media platforms" christians are able to keep if I'm the norm which I AM CAUSE PASTORS WOULDN'T LIE TO YOU. Is you tube and blogging. This is "life more abundantly" to. 

this is the dream life

the pastors are telling you about

John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

ALSO LIKE ME CAUSE I'M NORMAL

you worship satan

you thought you were a christian on your blog and your tube tube WRONGO YOUR A SATAN WORSHIPPER CAUSE YOU LOVE SATAN

cause there ain't apostles

and i'm normal...................

Matthew 10:25 "It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?"

enjoy worshipping your lord and master satan today 😁👍

of course you want to be rich and famous while worshipping your lord satan...........duh

your pry a jezebel with the "Jezebel spirit" to common YOUR WORSER THEN THE HOUSE OF "BEELZEBUB" 💓💓💓💓💓💓

Matthew 10:25 "It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?"

WELL BE A BAD ONE THEN MY TWINS 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

(ps.........my family did flee the apostolic christian church of america - I have a friend that thinks we didn't leave, I think about them a lot, hard not to, went there 5-6 years) We flee'd the Apostolic christian church of america, we didn't just leave - literally we booked it out of that church. The elder verbally attacked me so much that day.........it was so bad.
  I have a new you tube video on how to wear tichels (which all I wear nowdays is tichels : ) I like em : ) it's a nice classy look : ) I don't look like I have any confidence in this video, I look in my estimation beat down ---- even if you know someone isn't right aka that you are worthless piece of garbage basically it still effects a person if they are verbally attacked that badly. PLEASE BE NICE TO PEOPLE ON YOU TUBE REMEMBER THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE GOD LOVES! (I think people forget that they are real people and think they can just bash them all they want............they are still real people)

It's good to dress modest, and yes even not have bangs so as to not be "conformed to the world" BUT DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR FLESH WHEN YOU DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................
 I fear that the apostolic christian church of america, that there are members (maybe not all of them) but that there are some members in that church that trust in "who they are" as metallica sings here...........

  (don't do anything in this metallica video, this is me giving a example of everything a perrson shouldn't do with a music video)

That have the bun in their hair, and a doily on their heads, and/or for the guys dress shirts and nice khaki's during the week as they do many them (my husband dresses that way as well - which is fine...........look nice sure do that) I fear that they may think to themselves that because they dress that way, that "that's it I'm saved"
Philippians 3:3 "For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh." Like tonight or tommorow, I'm likely going to sew some under shirt thingies often called "dickies" to try and dress more modest (often I'll buy shirts not even noticing the necklines on them just thinking they are cute, then I'll get home and realize "oh snap this neckline is plunging a lot" ------------- I've figured out that sewing dickies isn't hard to do, and they don't add a "hot factor" to my outfit............pry god is going to be more pleased with me dressing more modest and I like that I want to live a life as much pleasing to god as I possibly can ---------- do I have confidence in my flesh though HECK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO PRAY EVERY SINGLE DAY AND USUALLY A FEW TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
 These are my thoughts for today. I hope everyone's week is going good. (ps........if I get good enough at sewing "dickies" I likely will sell a few at my etsy shop : )
  Other verses mentioned in this post.................

1 Timothy 2:9 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modestapparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;"

Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be yetransformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Ms. Mullally's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..................

 the christians the ones that don't look worser then the house of beezelbub, they have to donate so much more money then me 100's and 100's more 

............that's so expensive for them

I'm over here saving money

A pastor said something recently that really made sense he said "god is love" that we to also need to be "love" and love EVERYONE 1 John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."...............................

Sheri will add fresh update 12/8/2023 later today probably, she is going to gold foil likely a fresh item which will be exciting (fake gold foil but it's still nice). And she's dyeing her hair likely today platinum blonde again, so as to look hispanic and not a jew so much (aka look like marilyn monroe since how that's my "hispanic look" I PRY AM PART HISPANIC ACCORDING TO GRANDPA ON PHONE SEVERAL TIMES I AM DISTANTLY RELATED TO MARILYN MONROE - aka part hispanic) To many anti semetic jew haters in my town I need to look hispanic.........

https://givingittogod.blogspot.com/2023/12/why-are-they-here-is-what-was-asked-by.html

this piece is still wet, but as you can see I painted this piece gold and then added the fake gold foil for the "gilded look" 

my hair is naturally a blonde orange, so there is ALWAYS nearly a orange tint to my hair unless I use purple conditioner for like 1 hour.........but if I do that, my hair is done like orange again in like a day or two FOR REAL. So I often just be this "orange blonde"............my hair is wet, it'll get lighter looking as it dries............

but the mega church I'm safe, 

for 1 it ain't a synagogue nobody wants to shoot it up

for two

the band has at least 1 brother leading the whole thing that is a jew

I know he is a jew cause I pretty 100% he said he was when I attended one of his bible studies

that and his nose is so long extra JEWISH, his skin is jew colored

I'm a billion % basically he is a jew

a jew

that is the "band leader" of said mega church that means safe

if any jews are reading this that's one way to know a church is likely safe

 (I got a lap loom at a garage sale for $2, and it's working out, I don't have the hours in the day to do the giant navajo style rugs like I once did, this lap loom though is working out! Get to make some pretty wall hangings with it : ) 
A pastor said something recently that really made sense he said "god is love" that we to also need to be "love" and love EVERYONE 1 John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God." Hearing this pastor preach, a few light bulbs went off in my brains and I was like yaaaaaaaaaaaa that's right!!!!!!!!!!!
  When the bible says "you will know them by their fruit" ----------- the bible isn't saying anywhere that I can see that "it's ok to hate these people and curse them, or shun them" (though there is this verse 1 Corinthians 5:11 "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."  also Psalm 141:4 "Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.")
  Both 1 Corinthians 5:11 (I'm a detective for reals, both my parents worked many years in I should say "with the law enforcement" neither one them were ever cops, but both them spoke to cops on a regular basis for well my mom just like 2 years..........on their jobs -------- so I think like a detective) and psalm 141:4 both these verses mention don't eath with people, that work iniquity somehow, or are a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or a extortioner.....................................but I note that these verses leave open a bunch of other things one can do with such people! So that we can do good to them and love them I belive! Cause love is of god 1 John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."
Matthew 5 :43-48 "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
  I'm gonna tell you all right now all 7 billion of you...........I can't hardly do good to all you all. But what I can do..........is good to like everyone that has been in my life, or near everyone....................everyone that has been in my life who's address I have or whose e-mail address I have........................love my enemies for sure up on that got all the acca addresses right in their nifty address book.......................going to pester my husband that we can hang out with pearl.
  When the bible says always be abounding in the work of the lord.............you know what a great deal of the "work of the lord is"?

LOVING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!

(Which can indeed be done just by praying for one another)

DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I exhorting myself as well in this blog post)

1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."

Have a great week earth!

Mrs. Simko's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose...................

I am NOT the victim, I am the victor!!!!!!!!!!!! Romans 8:37 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

 Update 12/3/2023 today for the 1st time a "gold leafed" something (fake gold not real, but fake gold leaf I think is still plenty pretty). I used I think 20 sheets of fake gold leaf to get this look (I might off counted off by 1 or 2)............I could've covered it all the way, but at this point I felt it be's looking good 😁............

I am sorta pondering fake gold leafing 1 wall to............I might do that. ps............when I was done gold leafing I let the modge podge dry, then I sprayed this whole piece with clear coat - that's how I fake gold leaf : ) 

(and am right now listening to goth music via my schumann resonance machine that came in the mail today............it definately works the sound quality is really good now 😁) I'm feeling chill and great right now 😁 Thankful I am a total nerd 😁

I am against this "it's all your fault" mentality out there, if your following jesus the bible says for one - you'll be hated by all men for jesus's name sake so surely bad things are going to happen to you that aren't "all your fault" Matthew 10:22 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."
 I am NOT the victim, I am the victor!!!!!!!!!!!! Romans 8:37 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

Are you the victim today?

Or are you the victor in christ jesus?????

The devil wants you to be a victim, I believe, I believe he wants you feeling sorry for yourself..............anything but praising the lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Nehemiah 8:10 "Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

  Paul went through horrible stuffs, and he didn't quit, 

he didn't give up

he didn't go mop in a corner "woe's me"

  I haven't even went through this list in my own life.........................

2 Corinthians 11

21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

-------------------- me sheri this blog post verse 23 "in deaths oft" man I relate to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Verse 27 really stands out to me at the moment..................."in fastings often" he surely wasn't just sitting around just letting all that happen to him, he was hard at work fasting and praying. (I do a partial fast 2 meals fruit smoothies w/1 scoop slim fast in the shake...........then real dinner..........................I couldn't actually go days not eating...................I fast weeny american style But that's still fasting! I looked into what counts as a fast, and a fast I learned isn't just about the food you eat in fact it has pry 0 to do with the food you are eating or not eating more to do with your heart....

cut out the tv for days

cut out the you tube for days

"fast" from those things

Go to what can really help me and you, which is not the world - but god/jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Psalm 121:2 "My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." I need to get back to fasting direly. 

I donated money to help the Jews in Israel and bless them today..................
