The Shame of the Stain

-

Welcome to the Queendom!

Today's meditative scripture is Ephesians 5:25-27: "Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word. He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless."

When getting ready for a date, do you make sure you dot all your Is and cross all your Ts before heading out? What I mean is, you take a shower, make sure you comb your hair, find the perfect outfit to impress that special someone, put on make up, perfume. You do all this to make sure that you represent yourself in the most perfect way possible. 

Well in this passage of scripture, Christ had the very same concept. He took the church (us) as his bride. Christ understood that in a marriage, one partner is reflective of the other. In that respect, Christ sacrificed Himself to make us holy; cleansed us with His word. He did it all so that we could be a perfect reflection of Him. 

In life we ought to adopt this same mentality. If we are going to rid ourselves of the shame of the stains our past has left on us we must do three things: 

  • Love yourself
    • This sometimes can require deliverance from self-rejection.
  • Sacrifice
    • There are some things you just have to give up in order to be free.
  • Meditate on His word
    • His word will cleanse you and help set you on the right path to everlasting and total freedom in Him.
How badly do you want to be spotless?

Case of the Ex

-
Hello and welcome to the Queendom! I won’t prolong this by doing a super long intro. I’ve been asked on several occasions, How Do I Deal with My Ex? Have you ever found yourself asking that question? I mean, it’s been decided by either you or the other person that the connection you shared has now run its course and it’s time to call it quits. However, what a lot of individuals don’t realize is that even though the decision has been made, there is a whole other process that takes place after-the-fact. I’m here today to shed some light, from my personal experience of course, on what that process could look like. If you’re the least bit interested (ok maybe a lot interested) , then keep on reading. The term ex simply means “without”. So, when breaking up with someone, you become “without” them. The same is true with anything you consciously break up with. It doesn’t have to be a person to be considered an ex. It could be a job, a friendship, a place, a habit, and so on, but one ...

Dating On Another Level

Hello Beautiful People! Welcome back to the Queendom 😉 As I am journeying through my own personal dating experience, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the importance of dating intentionally. Let’s break this down Queendom style! Terms to Remember: 1.     Intentional – Doing something on purpose/deliberately 2.     Purposeful – To be determined 3.     Dating – The act of romantically engaging with someone Intentional Dating refers to the action of engaging with someone romantically on purpose.  When you do something “on purpose” that would suggest that you meant to do it. You didn’t stumble upon it, it didn’t fall on you, and you most certainly weren’t forced to do it. See, doing something on purpose requires some level of pre-meditation. You have to think about it. Sometimes even come up with a plan of action to make sure you can execute flawlessly your intention. However, before there is pre-meditation, ther...
