I am SUPER thankful to God for bringing me to my brother’s house once again to meet my other niece born January 23rd, 11:59 p.m. (never thought there’d be a time when someone I know or am related to is born on that minute; I literally didn’t see that coming) πΆπ½ππ₯° while the older one turned three today! πππππ #mybabyisgrowingupsofast β I couldn’t hold her because her immune system was developing still but it’s still pandemic time, so I wanted to be careful so nothing adverse happens. There were Frozen performers like last time, and it was their best show yet! I was amazed they didn’t break character even when a neighbor came over to complain about their vehicle π―ββοΈπ¨βπ©βπ§βπ§π£ I don’t know if they had heard of celebrating birthdays in Bible times, but I think freedom was needed, so that’s why the Egyptians’ livestock perished, like when someone causes a multi-car pileup on the freeway. Someone actually did that with like 70 cars, including several semi-trucks, one being a Coca-Cola vehicle, so all the soda spilled everywhere. But I forgive them, and I pray repentance for the guys who caused it and for everyone involved, for bitterness quickly defiles everything in its path (Hebrews 12:15). This passage is found in page 36 of my NKJV Bible, page 46 of my NASB Bible, page 81 of my VOICE copy, and page 78 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
When my niece, Bee, repented of accidentally nailing me on my left eye with something (I don’t know what she was thinking but I don’t hold anything against her), I could tell she was sorry and wanted me to forgive her, so I did, but the Pharaoh didn’t… I think he was afraid God would cause him misery, but that was somehow what happened, but only because of his stiffness of neck (Proverbs 29:1) β may this never become me or someone else I know, relative or otherwise. I don’t believe God would make life treacherous… but I can tell you’re probably going to comment on this post, “Ron, Jesus is sovereign and is allowed to do what He wants!” That is true, but since when did God delight on turning people away from Him? [long pause] Yeah, didn’t think He would. I don’t know why anyone would want to turn others away from God, but Luke 11:37-12:12 is a good passage to illustrate the problem. I quoted this in mid-August 2013 once to a landlord and old ASU CRU director when we had noticed some shady stuff happening in Redemption Church (for they were Calvinist pretending to be non-denominational β reformed theology is garbage and less than nothing and God will literally vomit those who believe it) Still, neither Bee nor her sister, Ana (she named her this), I don’t think, know much about right and wrong, and that’s no big deal to me, for kids that young don’t need to worry about having big enough influence so that someone can literally be controlled by them. Still, we need to be careful, and I pray that no one would judge anyone regardless of what mistake anyone makes.
I don’t have anything else to say about today, so if you want prayer for anything, you can e-mail me at ron.outland4727@gmail.com to let me know! I’ll write each thing down (if it’s good) and tape them to my bedroom walls! (That’s of course, if I actually remember to read the e-mails. Haha.) Oh, I thought of writing down the fact I was given a copy of Super Mario Maker 2 today by my family! πππ And I pray God helps all of us get along smoothly. For why can’t the divisive people among us just let us do our lives in peace? You know what I’m saying? I also just thought of this, too: if hateful people try to convince you forgiveness isn’t worth it regardless of how veiled the lie is, DON’T BELIEVE THEM!! They think God is instead interested in police enforcement. After all, there’s cops everywhere, and Romans 13 is spoken of a lot. But the officers are trying to tear apart innocent lives… well, most of them, are, I’m pretty sure. Ok, I’m done talking; see ya!
