Why should someone be publicly humiliated.

I don't know about you but it hurts to be humiliated publicly. You just want to melt away and not be the victim or wish it never happened to you.
(I will not allow the enemy of this world to grief my soul. My spirit has been made perfect in Christ).

Yes, I was anxious and hurt so bad I wanted to scream. Yet, I knew it was not the best way to handle the situation.

There were more than 200 people seating and waiting to board the plane. When all of a sudden the lady at the counter said, " zone 2 and 3 and families with kids could now board." 

That was us, our tickets said zone 3 and we had 2 kids. We headed to check in only to hear; " oh no it does not imply to you, just wait for your turn."

In my head  I'm thinking, you just said we could be in line. This lady had us stand there and all zones got in but us.

We usually always wait to get in last anyways, but why did she have to humiliate us. We paid for four tickets.

For a moment I wanted to interrupt the line and create a scene. Then I heard this voice clearly.

" remember I was humiliated on the cross for you, for moments like this."


Peace and joy came over me and I was filled with compassion for this lady. She is the lost treating us that bad and not me. In Christ I'm not lost anymore.

Or maybe she is just having a bad day and we are paying for her probably long hours of work and frustrations. Maybe she is going through so much and still has to be at work. 

That is what told my five year old who could not understand why she treated us the way she did. 

I don't know what you may be going through now. Maybe you are being humiliated like me, or discrimated upon because of things you don't even know. 

Know that Christ bore all our sufferings on the cross. He wants us to think of the meaning of the cross as we go through life daily.

This Is what we have because of Christ living inside of us. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (Galatians 5:22-24 NIV)

42 and Pregnant! Yes! Glory Alleluia!

  Hello there, It’s been a while!   How are you doing? I pray this finds you in good health and a happy state of mind. If not, cast all your cares to Jesus, he wants you to do life with him. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since the last time we communicated. We all went through the pandemic. What a crazy season that was. I was talking to my husband the other day and truly felt God gave us a jubilee year(a year of rest), to restate and refocus. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it for good. I know many of us lost loved ones which is very disheartening. May the memories with them always bring us joy when we think of them. They are gone but never forgotten. They’ve become our cloud of witnesses if they died in Christ right? In my last communication with you I shared about the behind the scenes of every picture. What we see is really not what may be going on although pictures are worth a thousand words. If you did not read that post I encou...

How I met Prince Charming!

Image
Everyone has a story of how they met their Prince Charming. Yours maybe be more exciting than others. Or maybe, more awkward than others. Well, let me give you a chance to make the judgment in my situation. January 2007 was when it all started in South Bend Indiana. For those of you who don't know, January is the coldest, snowiest month of the year with icy roads. As the weather forecaster always says, "if you have no reason to be outside, stay indoors." For several years, I made it a habit to journal  important events in my life . Specifically, to look back with a thankful heart and see what lies ahead of me.                                   (we are no ordinary couple, we have a supernatural deliverer, Jesus Christ.)   January 30th is a big deal in my little world. As I sat alone in my empty apartment, I could hear the echo's of my breath. Usually, waiting to receive a call f...

A Mother's Bond

The connection we have with our children  is very powerful. The bond can not be broken. It is a love like no other. A love that speaks from the heart with a very powerful intuition. God made us carry them in our bodies for almost 10 months. This pregnancy process is a bonding mystery. Feeling the baby move and it can actually respond when you talk to them. I remember my babies giving me kicks of assurance when I asked if they are ok in there. What a magical feeling it is. The bonding continuous as we hear the first cry that pierces our hearts, nursing them, waking up at night and going through days with very limited sleep. Stirring at them to see if we'll see a body part actuall grow instantly. All the smiles and crying only builds up a stronger bond etc. We get soo attached to them that even leaving them home with our husbands is scary. Yet, we have to trust God and pray that we meet them alive when we return. I realized that this mother child bond is the same way God wants us to ...
