Say what?!! Seven Words to change your life

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10

The Big Idea

When we are truly sorry, it will. Lead to. change

Four things we need to know about being sorry

1. God’s love makes sorry possible

Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
Psalms 51:2‭-‬3

2. Saying sorry requires awareness of my sin

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.
Psalms 51:4

3. Saying sorry requires confession of my sin

Memory Verse

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9

4. God’s Forgiveness is so much greater than my sinfulness

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Psalms 51:10‭-‬11

Bottom line

Because of Jesus I’m not just a forgiving thinner I am a new spirit empowered person

Who Can play me in a movie?

Should an actor who does not have a disability be able to play a character with a disability?

I don’t think so.

In a recent episode of Able, a show highlighting performers with disabilities, actor, and disability advocate Christine Bruno, was interviewed, and the casting habits of Hollywood were discussed.

Ms. Bruno said that there are a few terms that describe the actions of casting teams when it comes to casting an actor a disabled character.

The first word that we learned from this interview is Cripface- casting an actor who doesn’t have a disability as a disabled character.

The second word that we learned was cripping up. This is when a casting team gets lazy and gives a role of a disabled person to a non-disabled actor because they can not find exactly what they want for the role.

Hollywood needs to realize that no disability looks the same in any two people. Therefore, any action done would be a caricature.

Furthermore, Bruno said that anyone with a disability should be eligible to audition for any role as long as they can fulfill the job requirements.

Let me know what you think of these ideas.

I Finally can see myself:My Review of a chance to fly by Ali Stroker and Stacy davidowitz

The reality that.there are people that use equipment to get around in their daily life needs to become the norm in media, so much so that the person using the equipment is seeing as a person, and the equipment fades into the background.
Marie Nicole Zimmerle

I connected with a chance to Fly right away; it had my attention when Nat Beacon goes to her first wheelchair racing team practice because I used to participate in an event called The exceptional games.

I also know the feeling of having to stick up for yourself when told you can’t participate in something simply because of perception. This point in the book took me back to being exactly 13 years old, the age that Nat was when she joined the Broadway bounders.

Furthermore, I know what it feels like to show up somewhere and not be provided proper accessibility. In those instances, there is camaraderie and brainstorming that quickly needs to happen.

I also know the hopeful side of things where people that have helped me before want to help me so I won’t miss out, or they want to rethink the current routine of an Activity so that I can continue to participate.

At the heart of this book is the lesson that we should not judge anybody by their outside appearance that people that are quote-unquote different should not be afraid to speak up and ask for help I’m so glad that this book is out into the world, congratulations Ali and Stacy

Say what?!! Seven words that change your life:Yes

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:7‭-‬11

Are you now going to accuse me of being flip with my promises because it didn’t work out? Do you think I talk out of both sides of my mouth—a glib yes one moment, a glib no the next? Well, you’re wrong. I try to be as true to my word as God is to his. Our word to you wasn’t a careless yes canceled by an indifferent no. How could it be? When Silas and Timothy and I proclaimed the Son of God among you, did you pick up on any yes-and-no, on-again, off-again waffling? Wasn’t it a clean, strong Yes? Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.
2 Corinthians 1:17‭-22

Three things I need to say Yes to

1. Who God says I am

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10

2. What God Tells me to do

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Luke 6:46

3. The gift that God wants to give me.

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
Romans 8:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:9‭-‬10

Say What?!! Seven words that change your life: No

Listen Now

The Big Idea

Behind every wise, No is a Better Yes

Three lies that Satan will tempt us with

1. I am what I have

The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’ ”
Luke 4:3‭-‬4

Jesus quoting the old testament

He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 8:3

Action Step

Practice the three Blessings exercise: write down three things you are grateful for every day.

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

2. I Am what I Do

The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’ ”
Luke 4:5‭-‬8

3. I am what people think of me.

The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ ” Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
Luke 4:9‭-‬13

Celebrating

The first picture was taken a year ago tomorrow on my 38th birthday; the second picture was taken a few minutes ago. Today I’m spending some time saying goodbye and thank you to year 38 of my life. You were surprisingly eventful on a personal level.

This year made me think deeply about education and the fact that I probably didn’t need nine years of college to learn what I am drawn to. This year also made me realize that no matter how stupid we think we sound, we need to speak what’s in our hearts. Lastly, If it wasn’t for this year, it wasn’t for this year, I would have never started my podcast and discovered that I love it more than making videos
