Repentance Is Not Just For Sinners

Pinks
contributed by Kaydee by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] The longer I walk with Jesus, the more I am convinced that repentance is not just for sinners, but also for believers. It is not simply a one-time thing, but something God's people are called to do until Jesus returns. Every Christian who maintains a repentant attitude brings upon his life God's special attention. Indeed, repentance opens up something to us that nothing else can. If we walk before the Lord with a repentant heart, we will be inundated with incredible blessings! A repentant heart is soft, tender and pliable, is and easily molded by the Holy Spirit. It responds to and acts upon godly reproof. The number-one characteristic of a repentant heart is a readiness to…

Blondie’s Spotlight

Reds
interviewed by Kaydee The Giving & GrOwing Youth and Community Outreach Organization is an upcoming powerful force within the community. It gave me great pleasure to interview two young adults who strive to impact the community and youth in such an influential way. It’s rare today that you find young individuals who want to simply do more for the community just because. The organization includes volunteers who are high school dropouts, those who have been to jail, and college graduates. The organization goes to the Downtown Atlanta area to give to the homeless, taking donations, and changing lives. Name: Rey Rosado (Age 22) and Melva Lett (Age 23) Representing: Lithonia, GA Blondie’s Lipstick: What does Giving N Growing exactly mean pertaining to your organization?  Rey Rosado: We just want to…

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Reds
Hey Lipstick Lovers!!! Today is the day of love but I know everyone isn't feeling it. I know they call it "Singles Awareness Day" as well but if maybe it's not the right time for you to be in a relationship. Personally I'd rather wait for THE RIGHT one or a BETTER one than just settling for ANYone! And as I said earlier on twitter, you don't have to have a valentine to celebrate Valentine's Day!  BE YOUR OWN!!! Now don't look extra desperate and send an enormous gift to yourself at work, or flaunt some sweet sentiment claiming it came from a "Secret Valentine". That's not cute, its crazy & crazy definitely ain't cute! Just hang out with those who DO love you like have a spa day with the…

Listening To the Lyrics

Pinks
contributed by Kaydee   Lately I’ve been having the feeling that every gospel song I hear is speaking directly to me! The lyrics just seem so real and deep to me. The repetition of the words and of course the music draws me in and closer to God. I’m starting to see the meaning so much clearer. Praise and worship are a huge part of life and I feel like I should incorporate them a lot more into my life.   “Now will your heart and soul say yes?”  -Shekinah Glory   One song in particular is “Yes”, which is sung by Shekinah Glory. I remember the first time I heard this song at a church [Joy of Faith Christian Ministries, Pastor Dr. Samuel N. Smith] and I just remember…

One of Life’s Many Lessons

Pinks
by Kaydee“Humble yourself before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” James 4:10 NIVLately I’ve found myself thanking God for every single thing! Even things that seem so small are a blessing from God and I feel like I can not thank him enough. This time of year people are so busy with Christmas shopping for their loved ones, forgetting about others can easily happen. Personally, when I leave my house I see the homeless and help whenever I can. It disturbs me when I can’t because I wish I could do more. Of course you don’t want to see another human being in pain or begging others for help. I just send up a prayer and hope that something great happens to improve their day. While at work earlier…

Mighty Mom

Pinks
contributed by T. WingfieldI applaud single mothers; they are some of the strongest women in the world. Since becoming a mother I understand that we make sacrifices for our children but these women pay the ultimate price. These women sacrifice so much for their children, going to school to make a better life for them. Sometimes working multiple jobs to make sure their children are taken care of.  Although I am not a single parent my mother was, and I watched how trying it can be. My mother would miss Piano recitals, Harmony concerts and honors day programs, It's not that she didn’t want to be there but she had to work to support us. I could not imagine missing ANY part of my son’s life. I appreciate what my…

How Do You Show Gratitude?

Pinks
by KaydeeEveryday I wake up I thank God for allowing me beto here another day. If I’m up early in the morning I grab my phone a get ontwitter. I see so many people who give thanks to God for life and it amazes me!It feels good to know that so many other people begin the morning with the samepraise. I started to wonder about the other ways people praise and celebrateGod. People gather in groups to honor God or in the privacy of their own homes.When I’m out running errands or at work I see people praising God throughunique self expression such as clothing or body art.  No matter what way you decide to show Godgratitude always do it with an open heart. You have to love God fully and…
