Monsters

~ Conservative Momma ~ 2 Comments

Just recently, my three year old son started to talk about Monsters. Though I closely monitor everything he watches….somehow he got wind of monsters and won’t let up. “No there are no monsters, they are just part of your imagination…they aren’t real, ” I find myself often uttering. My 18 month old daughter though, has not been introduced to the concept of monsters, and in her world….they simply don’t exist….yet.

I have found that this mindset continues on into adulthood….those who believe in monsters and those who don’t…that is until they encounter one first hand. Now, I am not talking big hair goons with four arms and one eyeball…..I am talking evil. Yes, evil. I have discovered that many think if they don’t talk about evil, or acknowledge it, it’ll just go away. It’s like when my daughter covers her eyes with here hands and “poof” I am not there…in her mind -I have disappeared! But I didn’t disappear, I am still there. Likewise, evil is still present…whether one chooses to acknowledge it or not.

I am not saying evil needs to be the topic of conversation at every meal, but there must be discussion on how to combat evil….because… like it or not….evil doesn’t let up…it persists until YOU do something to stop it. Yes, I said YOU….because you are responsible for stopping it or not. One of the most honest quotes I have ever heard is by German theologian- Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “Silence in the face of evil, is evil itself: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act.”

This ignorance to evil, has almost become trendy even fashionable. I am currently witnessing this from our president with his approach to all our foreign policy. This idea that we can all gather together around the campfire and sing “Kumbaya” with our enemies, is baffling to me. I don’t get it. I also don’t get it when I see that popular “coexist” bumper sticker. I smirk, shake my head and think-that person is straight up ignorant. “Oh come on, how could you say that” you might say!?? I say it quite easily actually….because I know evil exists. I also know, you don’t coexist with evil, you don’t hold evils hand, rub it’s back and wish for change. No….you come against evil! You, give evil no place to breed, fester and grow….you destroy evil….and if it crawls back from the dead, you drive it back into the ground with ten times more fierceness than you did before….until that evil is no more.

It takes effort and dedication to accomplish this, but I don’t know who came up with the belief that life was supposed to be “easy.” This notion that we are here for a short time so let’s just go along to get along….

I see it differently. I believe that we were created and designed with purpose for a specific reason. To be a light. To shine light on darkness and to fight against evil. I believe this is the ONLY way to preserve good. We are to be vigilant and on guard and most importantly, not deceived. Evil takes many shapes and forms….but it’s soul purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.

Wow….intense right….yes, it is….but I know that Good triumphs over evil in the end. Our job is to be bold, unafraid, and to live our life with purpose….not for pleasure. The only way to preserve good here on this earth is to stand up to tyranny. The responsibility of our children’s future rests on our shoulders. I see the monsters….but if God is for me, who can be against me.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good Romans 12:21

#Transgender from a #Christian perspective….

~ Conservative Momma ~ 8 Comments

I saw this advertisement by Clean and Clear, and it left me confused. Being a mom in these times is not easy. Anything goes! If you have an opinion or a thought that is different than what the main stream media would suggest, you are seen as hateful or bigoted. I am neither hateful or bigoted, but I am confused.

This ad features Jazz Jennings, a transgendered teenager. She claims that she is a girl, trapped in a boys body. Now she is living her life as a girl. Watch:

Between this ad and Planet Fitness (a couple weeks ago) revoking a woman’s membership because she felt uncomfortable in the gym’s locker room with a transgender -Carlotta Sklodowska- a man who is living her life as a woman…I am now even more confused.

 . transgender

One half of One percent of the population is said to identify with being transgendered, but with the media these days….you’d think half the population was!

Geeeez, how am I to process this stuff….and then how am I to explain this to my kids when they are older?

Here’s what I know:

“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”      Genesis 1:27. There are XX Chromosomes making you a woman and there are XY Chromosomes making you a male. God designed us in HIS image. I also believe that there are no exceptions to HIS design. His design is perfect, because HE is perfect.

I also know this:

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart” Jeremiah 1:5. God knows us. He knew us before he created us. He desires a relationship with us. He also says “if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.” It is not about how we “feel” or how we “see” our selves-it is rather about how God sees us. How does God see you? You can know how God sees you by creating and forming a relationship with Him.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14. God’s works ARE wonderful, and His creation of humanity is His masterpiece. Regardless of how you “feel,” God made you wonderful and there is no confusion in God.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.” 1 Corinthians 14:33.

Is it possible to go through periods of questioning our sexuality….yes, of course….but we are also called to “demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5. Thoughts can get out of control…if we allow them to. That’s why we take our thoughts captive and line them up with what God’s word says.

Here’s what I am trying to say. If you want to really know yourself, know who you are called to be, know who you were created to be….seek a relationship with God. In that relationship, you will find who God has called you to be. This world, is a crazy place….without God, we really are lost….and we’ll try to identify ourselves through feelings….but feelings don’t last, only God’s love does….and that can be found in a relationship with Him.

The world would love to quickly tell you Who you are, but the truth of who you are is found in God.

God says

There’s no such thing as a secret….shhhhh

Ok by now…everyone and there mom has heard that something has happened with Hillary and her emails. What the heck is going on right!?

All I gotta say is thank God for people like Representative Trey Gowdy for being persistent on getting the truth out of what happened with Benghazi, or else this would have never turned up!! And yes, trust me it’s gotta be so annoying for those conducting the hearings to constantly hear “Benghazi is overplayed”….but….ummmm dirt keeps coming up with Benghazi….so if you keep digging and digging and digging and more dirt, well ya keep digging till there’s no more “dirt” and you have ANSWERS!

But……Ohhhh was there DIRT this week!

Hillary…..oh Hillary. If turning a blind eye to your husband running around with a convicted pedophile wasn’t enough (ummm talk about misogyny right?! Aren’t you FOR women??) or taking money -a lot of money-from foreign countries while Secretary of State (such a conflict of interest!), or letting 4 Americans die-because it would look bad on the re-election of Barry (because terrorism was supposed to be “dead.”) you go and override a government mandate by conducting governmental business on private email accounts….but to top it off, you use private servers as well.

I’ll admit I was amused when your aids said you weren’t so savvy and that you didn’t know computers that well and that’s why you did it….but, using private email and servers….is  an even more confusing process. Then to hear you say you were releasing your private emails for the world to read on twitter appeared to be so thoughtful right?IMG_4546

But my question is….if you are releasing your private emails….why have them be private in the first place? Why go to the trouble of having private servers set up in your home? Who’s to say just “what” emails you release and what emails you don’t release to the public? I am assuming you make the call on that right? You claim transparency….but isn’t privacy the opposite? You went to great lengths to be private didn’t you. Which leads to the obvious…you are hiding things…

I have known for a while what you are hiding….but it’s just a matter of time till everyone knows….

Truth will ALWAYS win.

The guys that caved to Obama’s #Amnesty

For a brief……very brief moment, I was proud of our congress today as they welcomed a true leader Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu. But, shortly after we heard Netanyahu give a very moving and historic speech, I was reminded of why we sooooo need term limits!

So there’s been this back and forth over Obama’s Amnesty. You know the unconstitutional executive order he gave a few months ago without going through congress, granting amnesty to millions of illegals. Who cares about securing the borders….let’s just let em all in-terrorist and all, who cares about those going about it the lawful way…..whooooohooooo! Ya…that order….remember it? Well no legislation had been passed on that order….that is until today. Our House of Representatives caved, because there was the “threat” of shutting down the Department of Homeland Security unless the bill was passed. (Which is a whole other story in itself….I mean it’s like we have mobsters running things over there! I threaten you with this, unless you do this…..ughhh….I mean come on!)

The House passed the “clean” DHS Bill so the Department of Homeland Security wouldn’t shut down…..and now Obama’s Amnesty is going to be signed by the King himself.

I honestly want to know what happened to our Constitutional Republic?? Anybody seen it…..anybody??

Here is a list of the guys in suits that passed this insane bill….those who caved under pressure to his Majesty, If your rep isn’t on here…..be proud, because they just might have a pair!

  Voted for Amnesty
