Character

 Already done and not yet quite here. Already and not yet. I have been changed. But I'm not where I need to be yet. I'm not where I was, but I'm not where I am going. I need to be real. Be truthful and just be as honest as I can be in the situation. They know I need help. I need the resources in order to project the image that they are looking for. They said they would do it so lets see what that will look like tomorrow. I will do my part, let them do theirs. don't hold me accountable when you have set me up to fail. I walk in this situation confident and complete. I will be ready.
Lord today at the store I think I saw what I thought I saw and it does upset me. For all the wrong and right reasons. The stereotypes that make that situation common and the reasons for it in the first place. Lord what are we going to do?  Why did you let me see it? Now what?

Lord let his travels be safe, let nothing delay him and let his evening be calm and peaceful. My prayers go out for him this week. Let every meeting, phone call, e-mail, letter, note or conversation be positive, supportive and uplifting. No negativity at all. There will be nothing but what he ask you for Lord. Here our prayers today and everyday. Hear the prayers of your people and know that we love you and praise your name. Be blessed tonight and be a blessing to someone. I love you.
Ephesians 4:17-32

Instructions for Christian Living

 ¹⁷ So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. ¹⁸ They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. ¹⁹ Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.  ²⁰ That, however, is not the way of life you learned ²¹ when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. ²² You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; ²³ to be made new in the attitude of your minds; ²⁴ and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 ²⁵ Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. ²⁶ “In your anger do not sin”^[a]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, ²⁷ and do not give the devil a foothold. ²⁸ Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
 ²⁹ Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. ³² Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
