Christianity and "Growing up": Recently I was told basically twice to "grow up" - and I need to grow up some I have decided for the mere fact that I get a bit worked up at hearing someone tell me to "grow up" - it's like that one button left............if I was a vending machine and there was 1 "special" drink left.....................

Sheri 1/4/2024 believe's something much more "sinister" is involved in people sometimes having told me to "grow up" It's a way to tell me to "shut up and take the abuse" When I got excited for a bible verse like last year I think it was, my husband came and chewed me out for mentioning to him my excitement for that bible verse. I blacked out what he told me, I tried desperately to climb out a window I COULDN'T FIT OUT OF. Then later that day, we went to the mega church for "impromptu marriage counseling" and the leading elder brother that spoke to us told me "grow up" He didn't listen to me at all, that my husband knew I am a christian when he was dating me!!!!!!!!! HE KNEW THAT. And not only did he know that...........he told me how he was a candle alter lighting boy the main one for his families lutheran church for years, and how annoyed he was by the "hypocrasies" he saw in the church

but then I'm supposed to shut up I mean "grow up" and never speak about a bible verse again?????????????

the horror

last night

I glanced at a costco employee in a wheel chair - he looked rather chipper I noted that

he asked "how are you doing" 

and my husband walking in front of me as he most always does right away said "fine" or soemthing like that

I also said fine

but am I really "fine" 

or have I just been so brain washed to "grow up" to always be thankful

???????????????

cause few days before at IKEA I said "oh ya feel free buy that, get the garage even cleaner" 

and brian NOT ACTUALLY JOKING HIS VOICE WASN'T "JOKE STYLE" 

yelled loudly cause he wants to be heard

"stop your bitchin" 

well he's done that sort of thing for years. 

and I wasn't bitchin

being eager to have a clean garage isn't bitchin

------------------ but see he likes being a victim

everybody likes being a victim out there

they often make me out to be a b----

so I don't even know if I'm ok?????????? In reality???????? If I'm ok or if I've gotten good at playing this "happy little wife role" while being insulted most everyday for 23+ years??????????

sheri 2024 still here.............................1st husband says I told him before I came to earth, that I didn't want him helping me ---------------- well if that me exists..............THAT AIN'T ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME NOW WOULD LIKE THE HELP OF "SATAN".................I'm not sure I'm "ok" at all.......................fact I think in many ways I'm not ok at all, but have been so brainwashed, to always be happy, always be "blessed" for jesus....................

(My 1st two galaxy paintings - so fun : )

Christianity and "Growing up": Recently I was told basically twice to "grow up" (one of the two times of note here recently I was told to "get real" but the way that was said basically was "grow up" --- at hearing this the world might think to themselves "what kind of idiotic spree is this fool on right now?") - and I need to grow up some I have decided for the mere fact that I get a bit worked up at hearing someone tell me to "grow up" - it's like that one button left............if I was a vending machine and there was 1 "special" drink left.....................

I went ahead and looked to see what the bible has to say on the subject matter and it is really interesting, we all know this verse pry Matthew 19:14 "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." 

 Well then there's these verses....................

Ecclesiastes 11:8-10 "But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity."  So interesting to me Ecclesiastes 11:9 is. Basically appears to be god's saying, ok have fun...........but this is about to um, out of love, force god to "bring thee into judgement".
  I've decided being "grown up" doesn't mean you can't have fun, no, that just can't be it. Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly ---------------- well how can we have life more abundantly if we cannot go down the street to chuck e cheese and play pinball????????????????????? 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."
   So I've decided growing up, "grow up" when someone tells you that...................
a - if you like me and you get a bit irritated being told to "grow up" YOU PRY NEED TO GROW UP A BIT MORE..........IT'S OK, YOU CAN DO THAT! 
None us has to be stagnant in fact we shouldn't be.
We should if we have a bad habit for instance of cracking many bad jokes we pry should want to quit doing that and "grow up".
  Does that mean we can never crack a joke again - no I don't think that be's the case at all. When the bible says to put away with "jesting" I think it means when you are doing that like all the time. Ephesians 5:4 "Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks."

I am like so growing up : ) 

well on my way : ) 

probably even BIG : ) 

getting big : ) 

near all grow'd up : ) 

Hope you alls week is going good! 

LOVE

10/12/2023 AMMENDMENTS TO THIS BLOG POST...........

https://givingittogod.blogspot.com/2023/10/i-found-real-relief-for-my-extreme.html

Health is #1 Jesus himself set that "example" by healing on the sabbath and breaking the law TO HEAL SOMEONE

Mark 3:1-5 "And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other."

I have batled "extreme asthma" which isn't normal asthma FOR MONTHS

extreme asthma IS VERY DEADLY

IS STRAIGHT AND NARROW THE WAY TO HEAVEN - ya

but also

also it's god's will that we don't DIE OF ASTHMA ATTACKS IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT

which begs the question can makeup save lives??????????????????...........pry not, but you know something to think about...............

it's the heart god looks at right

don't wear gold or clothing to be "flashy" 

1 Peter 3:3

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

 1 peter 3:3 is why the apostolic christian church of america banned jewelry (except people can wear wedding rings if they get "speical permission there")

1 peter 3:3 is more about the heart and it's not saying either don't wear gold never, not even some for health reasons copper is also weared for HEALTH REASONS FOR ARTHRITIS RELIEF................1 peter 3:3 isn't saying don't wear no arthritis relief type bracelets. 

  1 peter 3:3 is saying don't be alllllllllllllllllllllll about the jewelry , and the clothing you wear..................................to look all "fancy" --------- AND MAKEUP -------------- to look all "impressive" to this world. which is something I have done in the past (not really for myself with "sinful horrible motives" for reals I WANTED FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!) 

I know that's why I weared tons of jewelry once and makeup I WANTED FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but thing is

that's the worlds stuffs

but the "thought" the real thought behind 1 peter 3:3 is DON'T BE FLASHY IN LIFE..............................

1 John 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

  Can a person wear a few gold jewelry items and not be flashy - yes I believe so. 

can a person wear a few copper health bracelets not be flashy - ya them bracelets usually DON'T EVEN LOOK THAT NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

moderation, moderation, moderation (which isn't what the apostolic christian church of america believes and THEY WILL BURN WITH HATE FOR ME READING THIS PROBABLY..........cause they believe 0 jewelry except wedding rings only sometimes "if you are approved to wear one")

Philippians 4:5

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

gold is a item to use for health benefits just like copper is ----------- God has put these substances on this earth for our health....

I'm tryin to tell you all. 

Sheri 8/20/2023 is done with jewelry and makeup got rid of most all of my jewelry few more pieces I am slowly gathering around the house and donated (cause I was one them types of people that used to just take off jewelry and put it anywhere...........so it's a process I am in) 

Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

  That is the way to heaven. I also "theorize" cause you know most people will say "we don't party" right they don't pry right. 

1 Peter 4:4 "Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:" I theorize "excess of riot" could be not you or I partying, since most people don't actually party but when we did buy jewelry and makeup ----------------- I theorize greately what people buy out there could be their "excess of riot" 

 Bible verses also I feel backing my "theory"/..............................

Ephesians 2:1-3

King James Version

2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

  

Update 6/15/2023 Last night went to a cute uh handmade vendor type store, bought this adorable devil cat necklace, happens to be a have a black cat named Susan that I do love my cat ok - but she has a "devilish side" I LOVE MY CAT!!!!!!!!

(my latest tole paintings all my original designs - bottom one is a key holder as well!)

   Wisdom it really actually does promote people - god's word I find to be extremely true........(and for non-bloggers I believe wisdom could promote you as well!!!!!!!!!!! ------ just you know not on a blog cause you happen to not blog).............these are the verses I've been thinking upon a slew lately..............Proverbs 4:7-9 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee." I didn't promote me!!!!!!!!!!!! (I've started to realize though having a laugh every now and then I think is good for people -------------- that folly isn't something to cling to!!!!!!!!! WISDOM IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proverbs 4:5-6 "Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.") The bible is true about me...................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."

Look what wisdom can do for a fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

A slew I'm saying!!!!!!!!!! 

"....Exalt her, and she shall promote thee:" I wish to sing the praises of wisdom. Wait I find a song.............................(folly, foolishness that never promoted me Proverbs 3:35 "The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.") If folly or foolishness ever did promote me................it surely couldn't of promoted me in a good way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Created a song and sang it myself..........click button below...........(finally figured out though if I sing farther away from the microphone the recording sounds better.........so next time the sound quality will be even better, but this is the recording I liked of this batch) enjoy...................................

Audio recording and upload >>

um we are all created to like "walk in good works" ya................

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

I more then respect my elders, I enjoy picking their brains, they have wisdom............

Update 9/7/2024 my fish tank is much cleaner, fish and snail are happier since I added real plants.........one plant decided to float - it's still doing a job whilst floating so I've just kept it floating.......................

"Ye shall go to the old people, and the old people shall make ye wise"

 not a actual bible verse just my take on things - but jesus pry said that! I'm betting he did!

(xoxoxoxoxoxo apostolic christian church of america Valentine most definately ON xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox few kissing to living hope church they praying for me I'm a tuff customer I won't deny it) I more then respect my elders, I enjoy picking their brains, they have wisdom............at the apostolic christian church of america..........most the time I sit by the old peoples : ) brain picking time for me : ) Ecclesiastes 7:25 "I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:" really god is this what your telling me right now?????????????? Right now????????????? Is this why you mad at me????????? hmmmm well back to my thing...............wisdom is something to seek out to TREASURE!!!!!!!!! I know the name of the game it's get wisdom Proverbs 4:7 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."

  Proverbs 19:8 "He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good." I told my old lifegroup leader of living hope church, I miss my old life group that I enjoyed picking all the old foogies brains there - I did a lot! 

  Dang god, shoooooooooot, bringing up eccliesiastes 7:25 to me..............well I guess this is proof why one needs wisdom otherwise I'd just stay a fool not knowing of it's wickedness???????????? What wickedness that is???????????????? But that's what it says there sure enough "and KNOW the wickedness of folly" to KNOW it. I have cards up my hand to god Ecclesiastes 2:13 "Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness." Ya I chucked that bible verse up my sleeve several days ago ; )

   1 Peter 1:17 "And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:" Man I fear god more then ever.............I some these blog posts, like I really had that stuffs in me NO, god's been using me, and His usage of me has instilled a deep fear of Him in me -------- or it's instilling a deep fear of God in me I should say. I used to not fear god like this.
