Maple Butter Boy

All of us have been wronged at one time or another. Most of us, probably, have been wronged seriously by someone who has never apologized or done anything sufficient to make it right. Romans 12:19 says

“Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God.” What does this mean for us? It is given to us by God to lift the burden of anger and bitterness from us. It does not mean there is no justice. It does not mean you will not be vindicated. It does not mean they just got away with it. No they didn’t. It means, when you lay down the burden of vengeance, God will pick it up. You have been crying out day and night for justice to be done. God has heard your cry, He will take up your case and will vindicate you.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you. Romans 8:11

With Jesus, we have the capacity, endurance and perseverance to be able to live the life He’s called us to live and really have an effect. This verse tells us that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead can live within us. When this happens, we are no longer the same. We are no longer running on our own strength. We can only go so far in our own strength. Sooner or later we will need HIS POWER. Life can be like quicksand. It can swallow us up and the devil wants this to happen. We can struggle and fight this in our own strength and end up sinking even further. But when HIS POWER comes into play we can overcome and come out on top. Until our final breath He will lead us and eventually take us safely to His presence.

@ask-flip-frost

"THAT is a fancy looking cake, kiddo! Thank you for going to so much effort. I'll bet it tastes fantastic~" Flip peeped happily.

Markie beamed, his eyes sparkling. "I'm glad you like it!! And I'm sure it will, it's vanilla and maple!" Markie flexed his arms.

Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:3-6

Galatians 6:4 “Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done, and won't need to compare himself with someone else.”

You are unique! And God is shaping you for a purpose like no one else's. His plans for your life is unique. No one else can do what you can do. Therefore, you need to stop comparing yourself with others and do your very best at what God has called you to do. You may feel worthless by the way others treat you. But God is saying to you, “You are precious in my eyes, and I love you” (Isaiah 43:4) The Lord will fulfill His purpose for you!" (Psalm 138:8)

In Which Markie Sings For His Mom

A fidgeting Markie found himself in front of Flip's enchanted tree home. Biting his lip, he craned his neck back at his companion who, by this time, he considered an older brother, though he'd never admit it.

"I-I don't think I can do this... Can we go back and practice again?"

"Hm? Did you not tell me that this would be the best time? Or would you rather do this on another, non-celebratory day?"

"...Yeah, you're right. I just... well, it's my first time singing, you know?"

"And you are surprisingly good at it. I could not believe you told me you never sang before. I do not mean to... butter you up-" Markie visibly winced. "pun unintended of course, for lack of a better expression, but you could have fooled me if you told me you were a bard-in-training."

"Okay, I guess I'll go... Here goes nothing."

As soon as he finished knocking on the door and the calming visage of Flip came into view, the boy spoke with a quivering voice,

"Happy Mother's Day Mommy, I wanted to surprise you this day with uhh... Well, I figured I've always cooked you delicious desserts so I thought I'd do something different for you! Uhh, Mr. Xalroc told me you love music, and I heard the kids in the neighborhood singing this to their moms, so, well, I hope you like it!"

~Maybe I'll never know the love it takes

To make me a happy home that's warm and safe

And maybe I'll never see how you pray for my every need

And wonder what more you could do for me

But when you walk by my side Read me stories at night

And teach me to trust in God's love

You give me a hug, maybe two

And you say, "I love you"

Then I think you're doing enough

Maybe you wonder if you're teaching me

Every good thing that I can someday be

But all that I know of faith

And of kindness and love and strength

I've learned just by watching you every day

So when you stay by my side

Hear me stories at night

And teach me to trust in God's love

You give me a hug, maybe two

And you say, "I love you"

Then I think you're doing enough~

At the back, Xalroc's eyes were visibly watering, a solemn smile on his face. Speechless, the boy then gave his mother a nervous smile.

“Happy Mother’s Day to you mommy! And the same goes for Aunty-mun too! I got her a maple syrup cake ‘cause I know it’s her birthday, my mun told me!”

He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. John 1:11

How sad! Jesus came to His own people, but they didn't receive Him. Today, it's the same story isn't it? People celebrate Christmas with exuberance and enthusiasm, but shut Christ out of their hearts and their homes. Those who reject Jesus don't realise that they are on dangerous ground. John 3:18 says, "Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already.” But those who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour become the children of God and inherit eternal life. If you have been celebrating Christmas without Christ, I urge you to receive Him today. It's a matter of life and death.

I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.

Psalm 31:7

God’s love is so great that He cares about everything concerning your life. The anguish you’ve been through, the pain and afflictions are not hidden from Him. He’s seen it and He knows it.

Though He seems far off, Jesus is closer than you think. He will strengthen you and He will help you. Therefore, like the psalmist, let’s say, “I love You Lord because You know me through and through, and You know what I’ve been through and I rest assured, You Lord, know what is best for me.

"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13

In the midst of impossible challenges, despairing circumstances, when David was fleeing from Saul, who sought to take his life, David clung on to God’s promises. God had promised to make him king one day. He knew he would see the goodness of the Lord while he was still alive. We don’t need to despair even in dire situations, because the Lord Jesus is with us. He will bring to pass every good He has promised. He will help us overcome every obstacle we face. Take heart!

"Hey sup, do you remember me?"

“Flanny? How could I forget? It’s nice to see you again for so long! What happened to you?”

“Well, It’s halloween and I thought I would come and say hi, heh”. The kid looked down with a hint of sadness.

“No, actually I did awful stuff, bad things happened”. He did small circles in the ground with his foot, still looking down. “Anyways, I’m here… you are the one of very few people I can remember” Said looking at Markie’s face, then smiled, “I thought you could help me, but first tell me how it has been in here, what’s new”.

At that, Markie’s face fell a bit. “I guess I can’t really say if there’s something new. It’s always been the same for me living alone in this woods. I’ve been having a great time when I’m with my mommy, though. But here, people seldom visit nowadays. Oh, I guess there’s something: The real King Candy’s back and he’s been doing a great job running the game with the president. Could you believe he was actually her father? But yeah, other than that, I don’t think there was anything new with the game apart from unlockables getting unlocked every now and then and seasonal events like this one.”

Flanny blinked a bit surprised when Markie mentioned about King Candy. “Woaah, King Candy is Vanellope’s father, that’s kinda crazy”. He said trying to sound relaxed, then, he aproached more to the other boy, “Well, if there’s nothing new that’s good, because I can’t really remember what it used to be like”. Shutting his eyes and knocking his head as he was trying to remember something, he muttered some words and glitched. “ARGH! I can’t remeber anything!”. Flanny grabbed Markie’s shoulders. “You gotta help me” said desperately.

“Uhh… Sure! But uhh… I don’t really know how to help though… I’ll try my best…” Markie said softly, trying to remain as calm as he can. He hasn’t seen a glitching character for a long time, hopefully he could find someone who can really help. Markie then helped the other boy to his feet.

Flanny followed Markie trying not to glitch again, several seconds later the boy glanced at Markie and said quietly: “I gotta tell you something”, nervously rubbing the back of his neck, continued talking, almost whispering. “I went out of the game, you know?… I kinda went turbo”. And bit his lip after saying that.

Markie almost jumped back. He went turbo?! No wonder he couldn’t find him ever since. But the shock didn’t last very long. He understood why Flanny would do that. There were so many instances when he thought of leaving his world behind as well, to live with Flip that is. He’d ever wonder how his life would be if he stayed with her for good.

Shaking his head to compose himself he gave the other boy a small smile. “I completely understand, man. I wish I could help you, but I just don’t know how, though…”

“Uh, yeah… Maybe you could start by reminding me who are each one of the characters of this game” he shrugged and continued talking, “I can barely remember anyone”. Then, he made a pause to think another option. What the boy wanted to remember the most was where he used to live, he knew it was a place full of trees but it could be anywhere; and as he couldn’t remember the map and some places of the sugar rush island either, he would like to know that. “I GOT IT!” exclaimed excitedly in a loud tone. “You can help me, all you need to do is give me a tour through this place, maybe I will remember something!, all I know is I was alone before I left this place".

#flan-tastic-kid #(( thanks for dropping by though! ))#(( it's been so long since i last went in here ^^; ))#(( hope you're doing well! ))

“Right, about that...” Markie began. “I’m not exactly uhh... staying put in this game if you know what I mean. I gotta confession to make. I’ve been out and about too, so I really know what you mean pal.” he leaned and almost whispered, making sure no one could hear.

“I can remember a few people, Vanellope, Taffyta, all the famous avatars of course, but the rest of the unlockables, and even the NPCs I gotta admit, I have been trouble remembering too. So I guess we’re in the same boat?”

He then placed a finger under his chin in thought. “That doesn’t sound too bad now, does it? We’ll just wing it along, what do you say?”

Hi! How you've been doing !

“Flan? Is that you? It’s been forever! I’m doing alright. And how about you? How’ve you been? WHERE have you been?”

#oc #ayyy #sorry for the super late response #i didn't think anybody was still active here #thanks so much for the ask though!

He who believes in Me…out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. —John 7:38 God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others. That is because it is the work of God, and we have nothing to do with it. Has an obstacle come in the path of your life, because of the present crisis? Do you feel stuck and useless to God? Don’t despair! Keep looking to your Source-God, He will either take you around the obstacle or remove it. Never allow anything to come between you and Jesus Christ— your Source. Rivers of living water will keep flowing through you and you will be a blessing to many, and you will be useful in the hand of your Creator.

#oh my ahahaha XDDD #that's totally how Flip goes into Sugar Rush #ask-flip-frost

“AWWW that’s so sweet mommy!!! Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!!!”

The boy pretty much glomped her the exact same way he did three weeks ago on Flip’s birthday, except this time, he peppered her tummy with small little syrupy kisses.

“Talk about grand entrance! Hee~ I guess I expected nothing less from you mommy!” he paused, sticking out his tongue mischievously.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!

@ask-flip-frost

“I made this for you!! There may or may not be any real bees inside it though! I love you so much! I know Christmas is just around the corner and all but I wanna celebrate your birthday first!”

“That is the CUTEST!!!” Flip squeaked happily. “You always make the best cakes, Markie. What did I do to deserve you?”
