Thankful Thursday ~ Being Real

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(1 John 1:7-8 ESV)

Sometimes people don’t like my honesty; they look at me if I were from a different planet.

I read a very powerful devotion tonight that made me nod my head with every word (you can check is out here). That you see and hear from me is the real me. If I am hurt, I share my feelings. When I am angry people will know (no yelling, just being very firm).

Being real is something that is very important to me. I don’t like it when people are nice to my face, but stab me in the back (figuratively speaking) if they have a chance. Oh, and I so cannot stand gossip. If I hear gossip, I walk away.

I think that all who follow Jesus and are believers should be real – no masks needed. If we hurt, we should be honest about it 🙂 …So this week, I am thankful for the people in my life that are real and don’t mind sharing their hurts.

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share by leaving a link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: let us all be real and don’t put on masks.

“The Light Meets The Dark” ~ CD Release

Okay, so I am a huge Tenth Avenue North fan. When they released their album “Over and Underneath” last year, the group truly surprised me. It was their debut album, and it found quickly a place in my heart.

Tomorrow, May 11th, “The Light Meets the Dark” will be released. I can’t wait to get my CD I pre-ordered a month ago. The song “Healing Begins” has been playing on our local radio station for two months. The words totally get to me. Too bad they are playing tonight at the North-end of Phoenix – too far to drive for me 😥 …

If you have never heard of ‘Tenth Avenue North’, I really would encourage you to check out their blog. They have amazing messages – always tying into Scripture. Check out this video message called “Strong Enough to Save”:

Thanks for stopping by today…so, now check out Tenth Avenue North’s blog 😉 …
