I've been the leader of the "cult of personality" on this planet for sometime - the predicament of having a flesh with a sinful nature is real (we want friends, we all want to be liked). Loving myself according to the bible is very bad 2 Timothy 3:2 "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," I have thourougly sickened myself with my love for myself if I could barf myself out I would nearly somedays!!!!!!!................

Sheri 10/23/2024 in her permanent villian era update - me back in 2020 when this blog post was written was super obsessed with beating myownself down with a stick - deeming that me being "more humble" Having interests and hobbies and letting people know about that and maybe even becoming popular in the process is ok it's called being friendly.................

Proverbs 18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." YOU CAN HAVE SHOPPING HAULS YOU UPLOAD TO YOU TUBE DAILY IF YOU WANTED THAT'S GREAT YOUR MAKING GOOD EFFORTS TO BE FRIENDLY!!!!!!! 

my goats are here now 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

they are very chill goats, walking around eating leaves having a great time 😁💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

 I've been the leader of the "cult of personality" on this planet for sometime - the predicament of having a flesh with a sinful nature is real (we want friends, we all want to be liked).

John 3:29-31 "He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all."  (take note of the end of John 3:31 "he that cometh from heaven is above all" ya you all might think - ya Jesus..............and you are right about that..............but also I think it's people with the "word of god" that aren't coming at you with their fleshes..........or maybe not all the time cause we do have sinful natures that we are in a war with........and some of us are valley girls such as myself and well shopping it happens. He that cometh from heaven is above all ------ so all the likes on the you tube videos though lovely video's that some people have and probably even saved girls that like to shop most of them....................that isn't "where the real value is" Like ever ------- it's a mirage. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty a billion % we've been hitting like buttons for "mostly a mirage" --------- mostly a mirage cause the content is real that people are posting..........................and the hitting of like buttons people do is also real. 

God is the realist! 

yep not even Iggy Azaleah Or me!!!!!

(refer to Iggy's music video where she sings "1st thing 1st I'm the realist" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-zpOMYRi0w course she meant that in a different way, as have I, but truelly God is the realist)

  John 3:29-31 I try and put whole lumps of verses together deal with them at a time, to get a verse in context....................."decrease" in verse 30 above...............doesn't mean "sheri can't speak anymore" -------- I do need to be in the bible more. Speak about god's word EVEN MORE. 

  And I want to.................cause I really do sicken myself with my love for myself somedays.

   But this is "our fleshes" this is how our "fleshes" are.....................

Romans 7:17-19 "Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do."

   We want to many us girls to buy a bunch of cute clothes each week ----- especially in this quarantine time of life of the "coronavirus". And then do a "shein haul" maybe on you tube????????? (it might happen........I shop there all the time, might as well do a haul)

SHERI 2023 - I QUIT SHOPPING AT SHEIN ENTIRELLY WHAT A YEAR AGO MAYBE LONGER THEN THAT. 

I AM NOT FOR

THE TRAFFICKING OF WOMEN FOR POVERTY WAGES.................

https://givingittogod.blogspot.com/2023/01/this-morning-sex-trafficking-tik-tok.html

Sheri 2023 buys most of her clothing from a thriftstore....................I buy thrifted cute items that are either black already and cute, or cute and could be dyed black. 

  I'm going somewhere with this. I need to decrease and Jesus needs to increase in my life!

   Man shall not live by bread alone!

Luke 4:4 "And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."

   That's all I have to say for today. Maybe the bulk of my ministry these days is to remind people, to be in god's word?????????  Cause these last days are like in the days of Noah..............they married, they partied........................they didn't think about the flood coming!!!!!!!!!!!!! (in this case the judgement of god about to come, on the earth) 

Luke 17:26-28 "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;"

  Please do pray for me, cause I love myself, I do, I know I do. I love myself a ton, I love myself desperately............I would even use the word "desperate" I am afflicted, with love for myself.

    Only thing I don't like about myself is the teeny bit of flab on my stomach, but via using bodybuilding "hot cream" it's almost gone 😁 

  💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

RIP MYSELF 😁

💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

ps.....at the moment the photo on the "About me" area of my blog, is me showing how my palm is like Marilyn Monroes. I believe my grandpa that Marilyn is a distant relative, down to her hand, same hand, same style of M...........

I like it - and that's pry real bad to

I shouldn't love myself pry

I really struggle with the idea of hating myself

I have a hard time with that

but

think idea is be in god's word everyday and in that "decrease" and have Jesus "increase" 👍

If you want to be blessed

bless israel

bless the jews 

Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

   

One of the many lies the devil tells people I believe is that if they just get this new car, or this new whatever life is about to be so easy all of the sudden when the truth is: Luke 12:48 "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."......................

Everythings works together for my good according to the bible........though my life might seem bleak, I choose to believe the bible. 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."

Did I judge my parents here????????????

or was I just having a viewpoint???????????

I think while I was typing this, and even now I think I was merely having a viewpoint. 

the lessen to be learned here

never say anything

about anybody 

cause they will get offended

if there is even the slightest hint of negativity to what you are saying

This blog post in particular is still in my mind, just me wishing my kids had their other set of grandparents..........to late now............my kids are grown now...........................they don't know my parents I don't know my parents either

I don't know them

once I knew them

not anymore 20+ years of them not being actually in my life is just to many years for me to anymore really "know" my parents, know the people that they are

so it's fine I am famililess

but all of us probably have something that's been invested to us

that could just be some money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

talent that you have - is given to you for a reason to use for god if that acting, or singing

but money is also a "talent" 

(bead curtain I made, using paper beads and real beads as well, I'm eventually going to add on much more bead strands, I only had one 20 liter bottle of paper beads made up when I made this - these days I don't like to just hang stuffs on the wall I like stuffs to be "showcased")

One of the many lies the devil tells people I believe is that if they just get this new car, or this new whatever life is about to be so easy all of the sudden when the truth is:  Luke 12:48 "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
   The pastors of the apostolic christian church of america invested in me a lot over the years, and I knew "oh snap now I have to deliver the goods". And now I'm like "increasing" in another way, in a material goods sort of way..............................which also god expect much from us in that way as well to be good stewarts of our money and I think of the things we own. Never is nothing given to me, that god doesn't expect (or men.......aka.............luke 12:48 ".................and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more" THEY WILL ASK) me to do something with.
   And the more I get, or am given THE MORE THAT IS EXPECTED.
  My parents, live far away from me, they said if they lived nearby they would never watch our kids and I would be upset by that. They have some view that if they have no responsibilities or very few, that then they are "winning" and "living the good life". This morning my mom told me in a e-mail that her and my dad finally joined a senior citizen center and are about to take up ballroom dancing.
  Are they winning?????????????????????? (though they were foster parents for my brother's daughter for a few years)
   A older member of the apostolic christian church of america said to me one day "it's good to be in demand". It's good to have responsibilities!
  Is what god is expecting from you lessened in old age???????????? Ya, I think that is possible. But all those grandkids you have old people reading this if you have grandkids GOD GAVE YOU THEM! 
   I am going off on a slight tangent --------- adopting kids and/or becoming foster parents I think is AWESOME..................not to flee from "responsibilities" but embrace them. In my estimation a life that is more abundant, is one where you have people that rely on you.
  If my life was just about me, or just about me and my husband....................I don't think I'd be happy. I don't think that'd be very abundant of a life for me. I'd need to go become a missionary something. 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."
   Not that I'm knocking ballroom dancing, that is fun my parents pry will have a good time. (then their plans are to sell their house and move to arizona ------- this being the 2nd time they've moved to arizona to live the retired dream life) They may manage it to, to have little or no responsibilities, to go golfing and go to picknics they showed me this retirement group in arizona, that has all these activities..............................I hope my parents have jesus in their lives cause without christ I can't imagine that stuffs being that fun.
  I'm alright with having responsibilites my entire life. I want to serve!!!!!!!!!!! I want to die knowing I gave my all...............Philippians 3:7-9 "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:"
  ps..................I don't think you have to have a full time job to have a good "work ethic" either, I believe we all can................Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up hiscross daily, and follow me."

Have a great week earth!

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

just e-mails and phone calls except I saw my parents maybe 2 times in 20+ years

they ended up "aquaintances" to me then family

........................

there's aquaintances nearby me right..........................more in my life

I can't explain what I'm trying to explain

maybe for some people they could just get e-mails and phone calls and then they knowwwwwwwwwww their parents and their parents aren't strangers to them 20+ years later. 

I don't know them.

I don't know them at all anymore. 

you know well I think people that are phycically in your life - people you see in real life, like once I had a penpal.............................and I did get to know them quite a bit but I never really fully knew them I don't believe, for that I believe I would of had to been physically in their life.....................to witness "do they have manners at stores" for instance

I'm trying to describe something THAT IS REAL

but I'd also like to add

it takes a lot of time, spending time with someone to get to know them

I am much more then my blog

I am much more then even what you see when you stand before me

people are complex

and also people change

I am not the same persron I once was

neither are you probably

some change for bad

some in small increments for the better

some change for the bad

and then start changing for the better!!!!!!!!!! AND VICE VERSA!

Ecclesiastes 9:11

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

how much should we all pray then

if even for the strong and the mighty and actually great "time and chance" happens to THOSE PEOPLE AS WELL!!!!!!!!!

The cares of this life can choke the word of god, this is why I decided to become a freelance graphic designer......

Update 10/20/2023 - Sheri 2023 agree's with sheri 2015 that it's best to "make time" for god - sure people CAN do that with very hectic days..............but it's harder for them. Luke 8:14 "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection."

   The latest scarf I knitted 😁...........................

(my latest painting is of a rhino, pic on the left my husband took at the zoo this last weekend - turns out I enjoy painting rhino's a lot : ) 

The cares of this life can choke the word of god, this is why I decided to become a freelance graphic designer. I don't want to have so much """""stuffs""""""" going on in my life that I don't have time anymore for god or his word. Yes you can have a full time job and follow jesus...........but I think scenario's do play out in this world where people have full time jobs and then they come home and they have so much going on AND GOD'S WORD IS CHOKED!!!!!!!!! Luke 8:14 "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection." That doesn't have to happen to you if you have a full time job, you can be in god's word throughout the day (if you make the time) you can have a full time job and walk in the spirit, it is possible Galatians 5:25 "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

  I am greedy for god like god is jealous for me................I like so much to have a certain amount of prayer time everyday, and a certain amount of being in god's word everyday etc. I want god to draw near to me, and jesus to increase in my life --------------------- MORE THEN I WANT ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Philippians 3:8 "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"

 Topic #2 at hand...........wedding rings..................

Today I was reading from the book of james James 2:2-3 "For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:"

 Ok this is new testiment.........in this verse it is talking about someone wearing a "gold ring" and not only are they not being shunned away, it appears they are wanting this person wearing the gold ring to "sit thou here in a good place" 

  ..........not only is there no mention here of the gold ring being bad 

.............the christians in this verse were plenty ok with a guy wearing a gold ring..........and james doesn't even seem to be bothered by said gold ring

 ----------- what he's bothered with here is that they were giving preference to someone that looked wealthy. 

  My husband says I won't be able to convinced the apostolic christian church of america............but it can't hurt to try can it???????????????

  I'm like a detective with the bible, I like to look around, don't just look at one verse and say "aha god hates........................................................." see what the rest the bible says "all the counsel of god" Acts 20:27 "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."
  I've been listening to bethel music a lot today, the new album "We will not be Shaken".................

Have a great week earth!

Ms. McKeever & their Classroom Community's fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose...........

A lot of us younger girls um we like to take glamour shots of ourselves, I don't want to be a friend with the world though!!!!!..................

Sheri update 6/30/2022, just pics cause my life is challenged a touch right now, got new computer and don't know how to resize video's at the moment so you get pics what I have figured out..............

got this computer at a garage sale, it is super fast : ) 

my native american bracelet I made recently finished.

myself go ahead and wear makeup 

the people that hate you in church/churches are going to hate you ANYWAYS

A lot of us younger girls um we like to take glamour shots of ourselves, I don't want to be a friend with the world though!!!!! (the problem is aggravated I think for myself, cause I come from a family chalked full of models..........................some very good looking people that can't even help themselves that their every facebook pic is AWESOME) And my little sis is a big time model and it's hard for me seeing her put up all those pics..........BUT IT'S HER JOB! (and I've told her, I've told her it's ok for you ((((((((((as of 2018 I've been requested by my mom to remove my families names not even 1st names are allowed)))))))))))), I know it's your job, and for models even if they "dress the part" and "look the part" god looks at the heart it's whats in my sisters heart that matters!!!!!!!...........I told my model sister that to) Fact of the matter is, it is my little sisters job "model" there's things that go with that job, if your a huge new york model like my sister is...............she has to look good all the time paparazzi's.
 John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease."

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;

4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

 We live in a world that says the outside how you look on the outside is ALL THE THING..................speaks to me in 1 Peter 3:4 "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, WHICH IS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD OF GREAT PRICE"

God values the "hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible" 

hard at work to decrease!!!!!!!!!!!!
