Let Go and Grab Hold
So many times I have held on tight to those things in life that just felt comfortable. They weren't necessarily good for me. They were just familiar with the life actions of the normal.
Although I have learned that when I would let go of a situation, no matter if it was a job, a relationship, or worse control. I would find myself in a better place. A place to grow and be better than I had been before.
The real lesson was when I realised that letting go is the only way I would have the empty hand to "grab hold"
Lesson Learn Be okay with letting go. Then open your hands your heart and your attitude to grab hold.

Man Up
Where did all the men go?
Who is ready to "man up" and take a stand for the orginal man?
God created man first, no one I know will agrue that fact. But definition of man can be summed up pretty easy. At least from my window of life. Men are to take leadership roles. They are to take care of the women of the world. Their women that is. Their daughters, wifes, sisters. But they don't, they don't "man up".
The average household today in America is single mothers. Boys are searching all the wrong places for father roles. Daughters are seraching also for that godly leader to guide and protect them.
Man up, it's your call. Before you think of yourself first, think of the role that was given you at birth, if you are male. Women must man up to the call to teach their daughters how to settle only for a godly man and expect nothing less from the man in her life.
What does your Man Up look like?

Culture or Religion
As a Christian women was speaking to her friend about the difference in their beliefs. I was taken back as I heard her say "you aren't a very good Jew". Was it because she didn't take on the traditions of the culture or that she didn't go to the synagogue, or was it she didn't have any faith at all? Or was it out of ignorance on both of their parts?
The Christian lady didn't go to church, didn't have a routine of bible reading and studying. The culture traditions she attended were mostly family dinners and gift giving at Christmas and Easter baskets. So in fact she wasn't a very good Christian. Maybe this is why they became friends.
Being a Jew is a culture one is born into. It is also a faith where Jesus is known as a prophet. A very good man,who taught the old testament of Moses, Noah,Daniel,and Isaiah.
My soul was sadden that neither of them really had a stand. It is known the Jews were Gods chosen people. It is also known we the gentiles were instructed to lead his people back to him. Why could neither of them see their place in Gods hands?
A lesson here for me, is that I will strive to understand the cultures of others and know that Jesus did not push his gift on anyone. But he did speak truth to all within hearing distance.
There is nothing that we take with us from this earth. It is all too important of what we leave behind. I sure hope it will be said one day that I left the heart to serve and the words of truth to those who wanted to accept the gift from God his only son Jesus.
