Tanzy Alexis Said It!

1 Samuel 2:30  Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’ but now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.' Hey my beautiful people! It's August!  Despite what's going on in our nation,  I'm praying that you all are maintaining your emotional, mental, and spiritual sobriety right now. And I also hope that you're being proactive with practicing self control in your own personal lives. Know that you don't have to respond to everything that runs past you. Mince your words and save your reactions for more profitable pursuits.  Be slow to speak and quick to listen in every arena.  Protect your peace and your power.  Mmmkay? Guess what I found out? I was intrigued to look up the definition for this month we call August. The origin of its name, is actually part Fre...

Isaiah 50:4-6 The Master, God , has given me a well-taught tongue, So I know how to encourage tired people. He wakes me up in the morning, Wakes me up, opens my ears to listen as one ready to take orders. The Master, God , opened my ears, and I didn’t go back to sleep, didn’t pull the covers back over my head. I followed orders, stood there and took it while they beat me, held steady while they pulled out my beard, Didn’t dodge their insults, faced them as they spit in my face.  Hey GANG! I'm praying all is well in the land of the living. Today's the last day of June, guys. This is it for the year of 2019. Tomorrow and henceforth will be the rev up for 2020. We'll be heading into new land for real, for real.  I'm reminded of a quote I recently saw by a journalist named J.E. Lawrence (1949) who said,  " New land is harsh, and vigorous, and sturdy. It scorns evidence of weakness. There is nothing of sham or hypocrisy in it. It is what it is, without an apolo...

Galatians 6:1  Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness], keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. Oh happy day to you all!  I so appreciate your FAITHFULNESS ! Haha! You see what I did there? I used that word on purpose just to be able to remind those who didn't read my last post to click that word when you can to check it out!  I think I went full biblestudy mode in that post. It was necessary.   I'm very honest when I say this, I'm currently being tested greatly in my fruit of faithfulness. Where at one point watching others progress and excel in life didn't phase me pretty much at all, in this season it's starting to do so.  Just a wee bit. And where an older version of me would have self-righteously listed off eve...

Matthew 25:23 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' Well hello there my friends! It's a great day to be alive. If I do say so myself. I pray that you all are really taking advantage of this time to become reacquainted with the fruit of the spirit. If you haven't yet, please catch the wave! I would like to consider myself as someone who's come up on the cheat codes for the type of tests that are inevitable for us believers.  Just so y'all know though, I get treated probably everyday because of and by this stuff. That's why I don't mind showing what I've gained so I can help people pass these tests. Yadig!  It's still been a heck of ride to say the least.   So this week we are going to parlay with the fruit of FAITHFULNESS. It's the seventh one in the bunch. And it's kind of sweet. It's s...
