A person’s tumblr tells a lot about them. It shows what kind of images they see in their head, who they love, who they hate, even what they think about other people.But most of all - has all the words they never said to people, all the words they couldn’t have said but should have said.

I AM UP

I woke up one morning and I was filled with unmeasurable thanks.  I simply prayed to God, thanking the Lord that I was awake, alive and not destitute but then I realised what I was praying for was simple, yet powerful.

The prayer is below: 

I thank you for waking me up From the slumber of life and the deep sleep of the night

"I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me"  -- Psalm 3:5

I thank you for lifting me up Above all trials and making me victorious

"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed"  -- 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

I thank you for holding me up When I have been doubtful and lacked understanding

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. "  -- Proverbs 3:5-6

I thank you for pulling me up When I was down and it seemed like no help was at hand

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."  -- Isaiah 41:10

I thank you for filling me up With your mercy and forgiveness that endureth forever

"It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness"  -- Lamentations 3:22-23

I thank you for lighting me up With your holy spirit that guides me and teaches me

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."  -- Romans 8:26

When I finished I realised that we all have a lot to be thankful for, no matter how bad seem at the time.

My faith in God has held me high and not to say that I don't get frustrated sometimes but when I focus, pray and meditate, I find that difficult times are to stop us from going the wrong way, teach us something new or lead us to our moment of glory at the right time. SO we always have a reason to be thankful.

So on our way uphill we passed the original Moulin Rouge. Moulin Rouge is the genesis of a series of pictures I took down Boulevard De Rouchechouart. Let's just say it was an interesting walk #MoulinRouge #PlaceBlanche #TouristsInParis #BritsInParis #NigeriansInParis #RedLightDistrict #Paris (at Place Blanche Au Moulin Rouge)

So you know that famous bridge where people padlock their love forever and throw the keys away - I took some pictures there and saw this padlock which says #BitchesAndTheDrink i don't know what to say but i commend the ingenuity of the thought.

If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also

Matt 5:39

This specifically refers to a hand striking the side of a person’s face, tells quite a different story when placed in it’s proper historical context. In Jesus’s time, striking someone of a lower class ( a servant) with the back of the hand was used to assert authority and dominance. If the persecuted person “turned the other cheek,” the discipliner was faced with a dilemma. The left hand was used for unclean purposes, so a back-hand strike on the opposite cheek would not be performed. Another alternative would be a slap with the open hand as a challenge or to punch the person, but this was seen as a statement of equality. Thus, by turning the other cheek the persecuted was in effect putting an end to the behavior or if the slapping continued the person would lawfully be deemed equal and have to be released as a servant/slave.

THAT makes a lot more sense, now, thank you. 

(via the-world-is-a-corner)

So Jesus is advocating a nonviolent psychological warfare tactic exploiting social norms re: dominance & perceived superiority.

I like Jesus an awful lot.

I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they’re your parents. Because, if you’re the kind of person who senses there’s something out there for you beyond whatever it is you’re expected to do - if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary - you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you’re not extraordinary. Instead, you will probably become as ordinary as they expect you to be.
