The Chosen

 First episode made me cry, surprise surprise. 

This episode shines a light on:

- Matthew, the tax collector. People hated him

- Nicodemus, the teacher and pharisee. He is the head rabbi that 

-Quintus, the roman

- Simon peter, who was fighting his brothers in law

-Andrew, simon's brother

-Lilith, the demon possessed woman

-Eden, Simon's wife

Here, the lord calls out Lilith by her name and says the verse that was a theme throughout her life

“Thus says the Lord who created you
And He who formed you
Fear not, for I have redeemed you
I have called you by name
…You are mine.”

Then Lilith is healed. 

Also, Simon and his brother Andrew can't pay their taxes so they claim that they made an arrangement with Quintus. Which was Simon agreeing to turn in merchants to him (betrayal to his people).

What Do You Dream Of?

 This was a question we were asked to write down the answer to. I believe it is the start to a unit of poetry. To this, I wrote the answer " today, I dream of being a good dancer". I wrote that mostly because that is what I had been dreaming of this week. So through this, I felt inspired to write all of the things that I actually dream of being  1) I dream to connect with victims of human trafficking with the strength and tenderness from the Lord  2) I actually do dream of being a good dancer  3) I dream of being really well off financially and being really good with money 4) I dream of knowing how to invest money in a good way (enough to cushion my dreams and my husband's) 5) I dream of understanding how to do taxes and be well versed in how to get deductions  6) I dream of owning a dance studio where I can take all the free dance classes I want  7) I dream of being surrounded with a really good community all my life 8) I dream of having a really healthy a...

Dear Sophia, This is the answer

 Dear Sophia,  I love you so much that I don't want you to go through ANYTHING but unfortunately, we have to from time to time to really prune us to who we will be in the future. Just remember, confusion is from the enemy and not from the Lord. If anything that comes to your mind strikes fear, it is not from the Lord. Fear does not come from the lord, respect does. So if you ever find yourself spiraling into lots of questions, take it to the Lord in prayer. Write it down. Eventually, you will understand- you don't need to know everything because God knows. So put your faith in that He has it all together so that you don't have to. But i highly encourage you to bring everything to Him. Seek Him more than you ever have, because there is always breakthrough in the breaking. Some, more than others, but rant to HIM. Don't stay stuck because that will frustrate you. You are not a woman of negativity, you are so wonderful in so many ways. If you feel like you are losing yourse...
