My first selfie!!!

YES ITS TIME TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY FIRST SELIE… i literally ACTUALLY remember it!!! Except back in the day they weren’t called SELFIES… it was just taking a picture 🤳 of yourself!!!

.

SO HERES THE STORY…

The first time i took a selfie IS ACTUALLY the first time i thought i was pretty as well!!!! It was the summer after 5th grade and before 6th grade, now don’t get me wrong, i never thought i was ugly as a child, the truth is that i just never really thought to much about it either way. As a child people would FREAK OUT about my eyes… OH LOOK AT THOSE BIG BLUE EYES… buuuuuuut i couldn’t understand what the big deal was!!! I just never thought much about my looks either way…

.

Then this summer day i looked in. the bathroom mirror 🪞 at our house 🏡 out in Cave Creek AZ and i thought, HEEEEEEY IM PRETTY!!! I’m ACTUALLY pretty!!!! And i grabbed my mom’s camera 📸 and snapped a picture so i could see if it was real in the picture too!!!

.

And when my mom got the film 🎥 developed i looked at my selfie 🤳 and i was liiiiiike OMW ITS REAL!!! I really AM PRETTY… it wasn’t just my momentary figment of my imagination… IM ACTUALLY PRETTY!!!! 😱 I was sooooooo surprised!!! 

.

That summer my best friend at school was moving to a new school and i wasn’t going to see her anymore soooooo i gave her MY FIRST SELFIE 🤳 PICTURE as a goodbye gift… she literally has NO IDEA that picture is probably worth millions now 😜… anyways after she had been gone she called me and said that one of the boys at her new school saw my picture and thought i was as pretty and wanted to meet me, and she invited me to come to her new house 🏡 and meet this boy!!!

.

My heart just exhilarated… A BOY ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WAS PRETTY!!! Buuuuuuut of course i did the right thing… oh that’s cool but i don’t like boys that aren’t Pentecostal! I told her! She was like, well that’s really narrow minded to feel that way! I was liiiiiike well it’s my belief! 🤷‍♀️ 

.

And that’s pretty much been the story of my life Church ⛪️ guys don’t look at me but i still telll them worldly men… NO!!!! 

AND i have NO REGRETS being my NARROW MINDED, 

SELFIE-TAKING-SELF!!! 🙌 

. 

After all, i don’t need a lot of guy attention BECAUSE…i’m ONLY MARRYING ONE MAN and that’s the only attention i really want!!!

PS tomorrow you get to hear about WHO I FIRST HEARD THE WORD SELFIE FROM!!! HINT: It was a MINISTER!!!! 

Happy Monday!!!

This’ll preeeeeeeeaaaaaach!!!

A little while ago my pastor preached about how Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. He talked about how a lot of Christians want to use GRACE as an excuse to sin. but what does Grace even mean ??? He said the Bible says that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and then the scriptures go into how he then proceeded to build an ark for the next 100 years!!! He said, for Noah, THE GRACE OF GOD looked a whole lot like WORK!!!

.

Sometimes the answers to our prayers ARE A LOT OF WORK!!! Revival and evangelism and soul-winning is WORK!!!! God gives us all the ingredients buuuuuuut WE STILL HAVE TO DO THE WORK!!! We have to do the mixing, the baking and the clean up to get THE MIRACLE!!!!

.

In JESUS NAME, let’s do THE WORK!!!
