Don't Go Back





Hey, Bighead 👋

How many times have you been minding your business and then, out of nowhere, something from your past decides to show up? You've been doing great! You have a new job! You maybe even have a new car!  And, most importantly, you are enjoying your relationship with God and the season that you're in! Life is Gucci! Then bam! Here comes the one thing that used to trip you up and take you off course.

Maybe you were caught up in a toxic relationship, but you found the courage to walk away. Are you feeling lonely and tempted to go back because that's all you've ever known? It could be an old habit or addiction that you couldn't "function" without, but you found the strength to break it. Do you get an itch every now and then to go back and get that instant high? Or it could be an old way of thinking that you once operated in, but you learned to trade those thoughts for better ones. Do you find yourself still allowing negativity to cloud your mind?

The enemy hates to see you doing good! He doesn't want you making progress in any area of your life. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy! He wants to use your former vices to lure you away from God and the abundant life that you can live in Him. He watches us and waits for the moments when we are most vulnerable. It's like the ex that will text, "Hey, Bighead" after you post a cute selfie. You looking good! You doing good! You good good! And they want that old thing back. Maybe they didn't know how good they had it. They miss you and now they want to shoot their shot! Unfortunately, just like last time, they are still no good for you! But, if you aren't paying attention to what's really going on, you will find yourself reminiscing on the "good times" that really weren't good at all. Before you know it, you are caught up...AGAIN!

The good news is that you have a choice. You can either go back to your ex or you can live your life with the new thing that God has for you. One of the hardest things to do is change. It's even harder to maintain the change. But nothing is harder than avoiding change and facing the reality of an unhappy, unfulfilled life. Go forward. Don't turn back.

1 4 3

Friday's Inspiration Post on Saturday: "1 4 3" I was watching a movie the other night and there was a scene where a woman told someone to page her if they need her. The page was "1 4 3". From then, she assumed that he would know what it means and that she didn't necessarily have to verbalize it to him. Some of you may recognize those numbers as a very special code that means "I (1) love (4) you (3)." It's a great way to tell a person you love them without all of the mushy stuff. Translation: a cop out. Lol. Now I heard through the grapevine (in this case, the grapevine is Google.) that "1 4 3" originated in Massachusetts in 1894. The intent was to give a new system for lighthouse characteristics, giving each one a unique numerical flash. Someone decided to make 143 stand for "I Love You." and the rest is history, literally. For that reason, it's a beautiful gesture. A lighthouse signal i...

How To Be A Successful 3rd Wheel

Have you ever heard the expression "2's company, 3's a crowd"? Well, that's what people say. It makes sense when you think about it. Remember those group projects where everyone had to pair up? It made things so much easier if you actually had a partner, didn't it? No one wanted to be the only person left that had to awkwardly pull up a random chair next to perfectly aligned desks. Even adding numbers go so much smoother when there is just a couple of pairs. Add 2 and 2. Good job! You did that in less than a second. Now, add 5, 783 and 12,957. See? Too much thinking. That analogy was probably pointless, but you read it anyway. Ha! As I was saying, the odd man out has always gotten mixed reviews and that's because very few have mastered it. Here are some tips on being a successful 3rd wheel. 1) Accept it. Okay, so maybe when your friend invited you out they forgot to mention that their other friend...

When the time is right, it will be alright.

Today's scripture is brought to you by the Word of God.  🤗  It's today's scripture on my Bible app and it's also at my desk! It's a daily reminder that God's timing is far greater and more promising than our impatient, makeshift "blessings". I used to cringe when I was told, "Take your time." or "Your time will come." I cringed because I would always look at them and think, "Time? No, let's do this now!" Lol. We sometimes rush through the day, looking forward to getting off of  work. We rush through the week, living for the weekend. We rush through the year, looking forward to the new year! We will end up rushing through life, if we don't learn how to take our time and trust in God's timing. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in our hearts, yet none of us can fathom what He has done from beginning to end. He is an eternal God, having no beginning and no end. Our l...
