Bring the Gospel your way! Bible Verses!!!

Psalms 27 , verse 11: Teach me your way, O Lord, lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

Everybody is not liked. God is there to help especially when your enemies are plotting and scheming.

Proverbs 4:14, Do not follow the path of wicked people or walk in the same way as evil people.

That is so true ofcourse, You can specifically apply this to people who experience peer pressure or have friends doing the wrong thing.

Proverbs 9:9

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still, teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.

It’s important to be wise, I say too. Plus,
I apply this to my life because I go beyond what school teaches. This is how I got my Black History knowledge. I plan to learn enough about black inventors and black history that I will have my Bachelors of Black History Degree.

Proverbs 11, verse 4 says Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but
righteousness delivers from death.

Basically, wealth can help everything
when things are messed up. Wealth can’t
help the wreck that’s in the person.

Proverbs 17:22
A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Basically happiness is good for your health.
I guess basically watch comedy and be around happy people. Anger can stress people out and give them high blood pressure.

Proverbs 19:15, Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless man goes hungry.

Think about this. People miss out sometimes when they don’t get up in the morning.
If I sleep in I could miss breakfast because there’s a certain time to get breakfast on campus.

Proverbs 20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence, so avoid a man who talks too much.

People’s personal lives should not be broadcast because they need privacy.
Anyways, gossiping could lead to trouble,
and broken friendships.

Proverbs 21/verse 30: There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.

Basically any math/science cannot stand up to God’s power. God can make things happen a different way.

Proverbs 27/5
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Secrets can destroy unity. So at least when people know the truth, they know what they are in for. What person likes going into something blinded?

Proverbs 24/14
If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.

My deduction on this is that it’s trying to brag about the person. Also, if someone was shouting a blessing in a loud tone, sometimes it can be taken as sarcasm.

SOfi’s Load a deep, sad, tragic story about a Haitian girl who experienced child abuse!

Sofi's Load Author bookSofi’s Load Review by Tamarva Butler

Sofi’s Load is a tragic real life story of a 9 year old girl named Sofi. She was born in
Haiti and is often unappreciated in her family and physically abused for things she does
not do or things her sister does. Yet, her parents one desire is for her to be married, but
remain a virgin up until that time. Through her journey, she experiences a truly sad incident
of being raped by Baron and thus leads her family out on a mission to get him imprisoned.
Time after time again, she would would move to new locations only to find that more
people reminded her of the rape she had experienced.

My view of Sofi’s Load:

Sofi’s Load was the type of novel that catches people’s attention. It’s powerful and
moving. IT makes you want to get up out of your seat and do something to help
Sofi. It got me so involved I was angry at the abuse that Sofi experienced, especially
being so young. The writer of the book, Fania Simon, is so passionate in her words.
The story is oceans deep. If you ever want to take a journey, the adventure is in
this book. As I read, I can visualize the situation in my head. It was the first novel
I have ever completely finished. I recommend this book to all people. It is choice,
first rate, and many people will love it. It is the type of book to get an abundant
amount of attention. She does more than just present a story. She takes you
there like a plane ready for take off and she lands you at the exact right spot.
Everything is well organized. From the beginning, she does not waste any time.
Her talent is rich indeed. Her work evokes much respect and applause. She is
a true leader and what all writers have to look up to.
