Do You Have A Trusted Friend?

“A Trusted Friend is THAT SOMEONE who is SO mad at you that they could care less if you live or die. However, when you’re literally choking to death and everyone else is watching you take your last breaths, THAT SOMEONE steps forward, performs the Heimlich maneuver, and saves your life.” The Stoicess*

* Think about Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 keeping in mind the significant amount of hatred between Jews and Samaritans. That “Neighbor’” Jesus spoke of, is a “Trusted Friend”.

Need More Convincing? Biblical Meditation Does Work!

Meditating requires the reflection of our souls to see what we keep in our thoughts and our hearts. When we read the word of God slowly, as well as become absorbed in our prayers, we can humbly request for God to reveal all there is to understand of His Word. Of course, all of this can only be done by relying on the work of the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, MEDITATING on the HOLY SCRIPTURES is an ESSENTIAL part of Christian living, and should always be part of your daily life. The S-T-O-I-C Storytelling Meditation method follows this premise as you use SITUATION by SITUATION to STAY CONNECTED WITH GOD constantly! Note that there are plenty of texts from the Bible that make it clear that meditation is essential. Some examples of this can be found in the book of Psalms, where it says:

  • “I will fix my mind on your principles, and meditate on your ways.” PSALM 119:15
  • “That I will not sin against you, I have placed your words in my heart.” PSALM 119:11

Other examples can also be found in other texts, such as Joshua (1:8) “This book and its words of law will not leave your mouth, but you will instead meditate on it night and day. You will be careful to follow all that is written inside. This will allow you to live prosperously, and you will be happy in your success.”

A Little History on “Biblical Meditation”

Would you believe that the word “meditate” is mentioned in two different Hebrew words in the Old Testament? While one meaning is translated as a low pitch, muttering noise, the other meaning is translated as “to be absorbed in thought.” When combined, these two meanings can provide the idea of a person, such as yourself, quietly vocalizing the thoughts you have of the biblical texts. Meditation is an activity that calls your mind to think things over and apply the works, ways, and promises of the Lord. As such, the focus of your meditation will always be on God, His majesty and glory, as well as all His works in this world. This results in creating the intention of changing your behavior, your speech, your goals, and ultimately, your life. If this is your first time exploring meditation and what it can do for you, know that it is an activity used for the cultivation of holy thought. It is done consciously in front of God, through the help of God as a means of communicating with Him. As your teacher, my goal is to teach you in the devotional practice that allows you to KNOW GOD better, LOVE GOD better, and come into CLOSER COMMUNION with Him. You’ll LEARN a path to GOD’S WISDOM and understanding that you seek as you FREE YOURSELF of ANXIETY and WORRY! Remember: It’s the Situation Keeping My Connection with Him.

Why Do You Need My Training When Dating? To Succeed In Making Those Crucial Decisions That AVOID An Enduring TRAGEDY FOR YOU.

So, who should you date when you’re in your 20s? Or 30s? Will that loving flame still be burning when you reach your 30th anniversary? Did you know that “GRAY DIVORCES”, those amongst adults aged 50+, the national divorce rate has roughly doubled since 1990 with researchers predicting such “gray divorces” will triple by 2030? And for those aged 65+, it has TRIPLED! Think about the SPIRITUAL (AND FINANCIAL) UPHEAVAL a divorce will cause to your life during your golden years. Talk about ENDURING STRESS and ANXIETY for most of your adulthood.  And the TRAGEDY ALL STARTED… when you were making those crucial decisions of DECIDING on WHO TO DATE! Dating sites are typically providing you with a picture and some kind of description about a person on your screen, and your decisions about whether to include another in your life were being based on these things alone. Conventional beauty and worldly gain is one thing, but finding an individual that you can truly depend on – a Trusted Friend – for a lifetime is a rarity. With my training, you will LEARN how TO EVALUATE that special SOMEONE while you gain more understanding about their life through quality time spent together. Moreover, know that those I teach have already started on the right path toward becoming the best version of themselves. I encourage authenticity in my students by asking them to focus on the needs and concerns of everyone in the community, so we can all grow and thrive together. In this way, we all benefit from a lasting change, build genuine relationships and offer valuable lessons to one another. By drawing from common interests, such as self-development and growth, you begin to see and feel yourself achieving your personal goal – a change in your mindset as you draw closer to God. I strive to highlight these amazing opportunities for every Christian, whether you’re single or married.

To Avoid a Lifelong Tragedy, One Must Choose Their Spouse And Friends WISELY…

Continuing with our dating example, you must LEARN how to “intentionally date”. INTENTIONAL DATING is commonly defined as the process of purposefully getting to know a person romantically. It refers to two people who want to explore the possibility of getting into a LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP. Moreover, intentional dating isn’t based just on superficial things such as financial status, physical attraction, or the convenience of having someone around. Intentional dating is an ACTIVE way of DATING, rather than a passive one — both individuals will take conscious steps to advance their relationship, rather than waiting for a development to happen. Christians are COMMITTED to GOD. If you are a Christian, this means that you need to seek actively the Lord’s guidance in everything you do, including romance. Ever have to make a  CRUCIAL DECISION and you didn’t know what to do, so you “FLIPPED THE COIN” in your mind and made a DECISION you REGRETTED for years to come?  My training will teach your mind how to MAKE SOUND DECISIONS! As you learn God’s wisdom from your training with me, your mind will change and as a Christian looking to date, you will now have the mindset to DATE for MARRIAGE. Your subsequent selection of a spouse will have a huge impact on your life, and if you have a calling in your church and community, you now know that your choice of a spouse will influence you immensely in these aspects. Due to this, God’s wisdom will reset your mind and your goal for dating will be focused on the future, rather than the present time. And, by the way, God’s wisdom will help you SELECT those ‘TRUSTED FRIENDS” you can depend on in life, reset your mind to make difficult financial decisions correctly, and give you that needed insight for how to address those who attempt to “Stress You Out” in your daily life. BE GOD’S HERO, wear His Armor — YOU’VE GOT THIS!
