Welcome to Monday Morning Inspirational Blog, titled JUDGMENT, BUT HOPE. Moving through the Old Testament Book of Joel, the prophet. Introduction Joel had already warned Judah, the other half of God's chosen people to turn from their wicked ways. The "Chosen ones,' the inhabitants of the land failed to obey God's warnings through Joel. Some of their thoughts may have been of "Disbelief, the mind of a juvenile, God just playing, He has threaten us before and/or nothing happened. " We can relate to their possible thoughts since we have been there as a child to adulthood. "Yeah momma or dad threaten to take away a toy, the car or some other form of discipline. Yet they failed to make good on it. Or rules on the job continues to be broken without reprimand and/or accountability. Maybe we took them for granted like Israel did God. This blog highlights Judah's sin, judgment for failure to repent; mourning, the call to Repentance, Revival and HOPE which are relevant for todays' believer!

Blog titled, GOD'S LOVE IS REAL focuses on Hosea known as a "Minor prophet." Not because his message is of no substance, because he continues speaking to us today. The All-Knowingly God knew before time Israel would "Turn their back" on Him. Yet because of His unfailing LOVE the LORD still led their escape out of Egypt. Think about the love of a parent. We still go the extra mile for our children too. The LORD warned Israel "Not to worship false idols." They sinned anyhow. We share GOD'S emotional pain, like us when hurt by those we love; the magnitude of God's love is demonstrated through the metaphor of a Marital contract; finally expression of GOD'S LOVE through His covenant (promise) for his people Israel; every believe and those to come to realize more and more that GOD'S LOVE IS REAL and inclusive.

You, I and most have felt like weeping or have wept which is an intense emotion over deep family or personal pain that seemingly too heavy, sad and/or unbelievable. While others may hold their emotions within but, most times the hurt appears in other ways like withdrawn, anger and/or substance use which is a temporary fix to make us feel "Good" or better. Therefore this blog reminds us of Jeremiah's message of judgment 7:29. God's wrath-anger had reached an "All times high." Judah's final hour to repent for their gross sins; then submit to God's judgement of ruins, destruction, captivity and exile by the Babylonians an unconditional (absolute) surrender that came to past. Blog titled, THERE IS HOPE during despair and more shared on prayer, restoration and more!

Can you identify your "NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE" in Christ?" For many we grew up in the church. There was no option. We walked to Sunday School me and siblings all the way down 21st Avenue to avoid the traffic on 22nd Avenue. Back then that Avenue was only two lanes. Walking to the church was fun. Then crossing 22nd Avenue and cutting through the Elementary School we reached the church. Realizing it or not the church had a great impact on your life and mine. We learned the importance of church attendance and raising our children in the church-Good vibes. Our moms or those who took us to church intent was for us to have a foundation in Christ. This blog recognizes and honors the death of Jesus on the cross, His burial that leads us to the Resurrected Christ to the resurrected believer's "NEW LIFE EXPERIENCE" in the LORD and its meaning.

Many times we like to say, "Not yet LORD." Well then, when is THE RIGHT TIME? Remembering when I was 19 years old, my mother and her best friend told me, "You're going to teach Sunday School" which is in one of my books. I'll let you know which one. Anyway my response was "No, I'm not ready for that." And their reply was "Come as you are." To me they got it twisted cause I needed to be more godly. Partying was my routine since loved to dance and for many our hang-out was Big Daddy's on 119th Street. Y'all remember that? Great time dancing all night until the clock on the wall says, "That's all." Anyway, at some point started hanging out on Fridays and during the week, instead of Saturdays. I say "Damage control" since I taught the children who could not read—from the picture card. This Blog focuses on as well as, tells of Jeremiah's response when the LORD called him as a prophet to the nation of Judah as well as their conversation; inspires confidence to trust God and more!

Welcome to Monday Morning Inspirational Blog titled RENEWAL AND NEW BEGINNINGS. Not only was Judah warned by Isaiah, the prophet about their pending judgement of captivity since they failed to follow God and worshipped false gods.
