Trayvon Martin

Have heard so many different explanations of the entire incident.
What have I heard?
1.There had been a few recent burglaries in the neighborhood.
2.It was a gated community.
3.Trevon was on the way back to the residence where he was staying.
4.Neighborhood watch captain or whatver he was,felt Trevon was acting suspicously and begin to follow him.As he followed Trevon he called 911.At this point the 911 dispatcher asked Mr. Zimmerman not 2 continue to follow Trevon.
5.Mr.Zimmerman was carrying a weapon,R at least he had it in his vehicle.
6.Trevon was on the phone with another teenager who stated that she heard Trevon ask sum1 Y R U following me?
6.She said she heard a scuffle and the line went dead.
7.There have been other witnesses,A.)1 who called 911 cause they heard sum1 screaming behind their house,and they then heard a gunshot and proceeded 2 hide thereafter so they didn actually C anything.
Also B.) one who stated that he saw 1 guy on top of another guy beating him down and the 1 on the bottom was wearing a red shirt.But he couldnt make out who was who and proceeded inside his residence to call 911.
8.Trevon had been suspended from school 3 times in the past year.
9.In Trevons possession was found womens jewelry and burglary tools,and drug residue.(during 1 of the suspensions.)
10.Mr.Zimmerman had callled 911 47 times in the past yr about activity in the neighborhood.
11.We also heard that after they exchanged words Mr.Zimmerman was walking away and Trevon jumped him from behind.
12.We also heard that the wounds reported on Mr. Zimmerman were self inflicted.
13.First we heard that Trevon was shot in the back,now we hear he is shot in the chest.
14.We also heard that Trevon was wearing a dark gray hoodie.
15.It was a dark rainy night.
16.spike lee(smh) tweeted the wrong address on twitter and has settled with the couple.This type of action is very sad,even if he would have had the right address why give it to the world,only to make matters worse,I have never liked nor approved of the actions of spike lee.
This is jus everything that I have heard about what happened from watchn tv,surfing the net and talkin w/friends and family.
In all actuality WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
I listened 2 the many 911 tapes and it seems that no 1 proceeded out of  their homes  after hearing sum1 repeatedly yelling for help.No 1 tried to help only called 911.From the 911 tapes its not clear who was yelling for help,Trevon or Zimmerman.
There has been a rush 2 judgement,and an unfounded conviction of Mr.Zimmerman,w/out a trial.
Civil leaders rushing and spewing hate.Civil leaders who claim to know the Lord.
 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS:
Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.And when you dont rid yourself of these characteristics bad things happen.

Sendn out a special praya 4 all involved,from Trevon's Parents and family,2 Mr. Zimmerman and his family,2 all the policemen nvolved,2 the civil rites leaders,they all need praya rite now,strength 4 this journey,rest 4 their souls,much guidance and perfect decision making skills.
N Jesus name Amen.

Dress 2 Profess

How a person is viewed could be determined by the way they dress.
As a christian your attire is very important in professing your level of Holiness.The way you dress is apart of your conduct and spirituality.
The scripture says:
"I will that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting. In like manner
also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not
with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which becometh women professing
godliness) with good works" (1 Timothy 2:9,10).

PRAYING IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE!

Good works are the best ornaments 2 wear.Acting as becomes Holy.Learn Christ,Learn the Scriptures.

Women ought to dress according to certain standards  listed in this order:
MODESTY, INEXPENSIVE and NONORNAMENTAL, and clothing that becomes godliness. To be
modest means to be decent and respectful. U must carefully and prayerfully select your attire in order
not to unduly expose your body to the stares of the public. Not 2 B so old-fashioned as to look
tacky, but deliberately choosing clothing that will dignify you  without provoking the stares of the opposite sex.
Christian ladies are not to imitate those of the world in their careful attention to the ornaments of the head. The mere braiding of the hair is not forbidden, but only that careful attention to the manner of doing it, and to the ornaments (weave)usually worn in it, which characterized worldly women.Costly array - Expensive dress. It is foolish, and the money could be used to help sum1 in need.
 
You are to dedicate yourselves to the cause of Servin God.This manner of dedication avoids
expensive, extravagant clothing and superfluous, ornamental jewelry.The worldly woman makes a hobby of fashion crazes and style shows. Christians are called upon to help this world filled with desperate souls,that should be your main focus.

The truth is, that your attention to your appearance should be such that you will not B offensive to any1 ,such as to show that your mind is supremely fixed on higher and more important things, and such as to interfere with no duty which you owe, and no good which you can do, either by spending your time needlessly in personal adorning, or by lavishing that money for a dress which might do good to others, or by neglecting the duties by which you are called to do.

In closing; When I go to church I dont want 2 B met with your tight pants,on the praise team,or ushering or whateva position you hold in the church.Evangelising with tight pants on having to stoop and bend and all that if sum1 your prayn for hapens to fall down.
I dont want my husband to B met with your tight pants or shorts dresses and skirts,thighs all out.NO THANK YOU!
When men go 2 church we hope that they are goin to enhance their spiritual walk with the Lord,They have 2 B considered when U begin to dress for service.They have natural instincts that kick in automatically and we as women of God dont want to aide in that aspect.  
The Church IS GOD'S HOLY SANCTUARY,ITS MY HOLY SANCTUARY,WHEN I GO THERE I DONT WANT TO BE MET WITH WORLDLY THNGS,THAT IS THE 1 PLACE I CAN GO 2 AND ESCAPE THE THINGS AND WAYS OF THIS WORLD.
So whether it b sunday morning service,prayer meeting,choir practice,bible study,whatvea reason you are goin to the church house plz plz CONSIDER YOUR DRESS(maybe slip a nice decent skirt on).(Get the Holy Spirit and this wont even B an issue 4 ya.)

A long time ago I wuz married,had 2 children......My husband and I would so look fwd to the weekends bcuz...on sundays we knew we wer gonna bar-b-q and drink......sit out N the yard and relax,drink, listen 2 music and eat good.We were married for six years.....This wuz our sunday routine,every weekend.We never went to church or thought about God or kingdom ways and things.The only time we ever set foot in a church 2gether wuz @ his dads funeral the entire six years we were 2gether(we were married @the justice of the peace.)

I wuz raised in church,daddy a pastor,mom and dad divorced,mom married another preacher.So my step dad rite ther spewin the word and teachn us whats rite,continuing on from where my dad left off.

But when I left home apparently i 4got how I wuz raised and all I wuz taught. All those years never thinkn about the Lord.Never goin 2 church.I often wonder if i had came 2 my senses would things have turned out differently.

I typed all that 2 say this......

I really wish there would have been some1 aroun telln me about the word of God,putn a bug N my ear 2 remind me of how I wuz raised.There wuz no1,No 1 there 2 say that is wrong,yall need to stop all that drinkn,sober up and go 2 church,so we jus continued on N our sin,until there wuz no more us and my lil ones ended up w/out their daddy.

So I kno u dont want 2 hear me telln U about what ur doin thats wrong,and I kno U dont want 2 hear me telln others about what their doin thats wrong.I kno u jus want me 2 pray 4 them,EVEN THO THEY BEEN N THE SAME SIN EVERY DAY EVERY WEEK EVERY MONTH EVERY YEAR.......THE SAME SIN.,U JUS WANT ME 2 B QUIET AND NOT SAY ANYTHING 2 THEM.
BUT U KNO WHAT I HAVE 2 KEEP SPEWIN THE WORD OF GOD I HAVE 2 KEEP SAYN THAT IS WRONG AND U NEED 2 CHANGE UR WAYS,NOT THAT IM ALL THAT BUT IM 1 WHO IS STRIVIN 2 B HOLY EVERYDAY,AND I DONT WANT U NOR UR LOVED ONES 2 B LOST BCUZ HELL IS VERY REAL.
No man knos the day nor the hour when Jesus wil come,2morro is not promised,If u dont want 2 hear me quotin scriptures and telln ppl about sin,Im sorry...I have 2 keep doin what God would have me 2 do.Like me,lookn back wishn sum1 would have been ther,putn a bug n my ear,there may B sum1 who needs 2 B reminded of how they were raised and that GOD is a very important part of their life that they are missing.
