I can truly say, that in 2024, I used the dirt thrown on me (before and during 2024) to pack it down, stand on it, and move up higher, while the dirt throwers just ended up with dirty hands.

When I began my part-time job, I was given an assignment that people thought would be too difficult for me to do as often as I was required to do it. I did it. Others would salute me as they passed by. I thought that was so neat!

SO, have you ready my RCC TPMs?
Yes?
Good.
Do they anger you? Comment or glare at me, if we ever meet. I'll know why.
If you enjoy them, find yourself in them, are validated or confirmed by them, comment or salute if we ever meet. I'll know why.
Seriously, though, give God the Praise from whom all blessing flow, even if you never comment or meet me, and continue to check for more interesting posts.

Stop partnering with the devil to bother people.
God and satan discussed Job. God had a reason. God also had the power to protect and keep Job and to handle satan.
We are not God. Stop discussing or going along with plans satan suggests to you to bother/'test' other people.

her/him, and they're stuck with you for the moment, they do you just like you do your mean boss.
You can't stand Boss, but, when you see Boss, you exchange niceties and spend the time with them that you are supposed to. Inside, you can't stand them and hope exchanges, and the time will go quickly and be few and far between.
Like you fake it to make, so does the one your mean to - employee, significant other, Teen+ offspring, neighbor, co-laborer, co-worker, volunteers, club/social organization mates, etc.
You're mean to them, and
they don't like you either.

If one person can single-handedly turn all that upside down, then all that was weak to begin with
OR
someone is being awfully dramatic about the one person's effect on the situation
OR
someone/alot-of-ones are using the one person as a scapegoat to draw attention away from who or what is the real problem. Pointing at one person is easier than getting everyone to sit down, look deep, be honest, and hash out their real issues. Point all you want at him or her, but your issues are showing really loudly anyway and will burst something wide open eventually.
Make 2025 different. Do the inner work and heal.

Remember, people are very discerning and in tune with God until it comes to YOU.
They will believe any lie about you.
Stop being surprised. You already know.
It's just information for you.
Charge it to their heart and not their head. (Yes, I typed that right.)
So, what?
Consider it protection. Actually, it keeps them from drawing you in...to their circle where you will be subject to being drawn into their way of thinking.
Don't worry. Let it be.
God is the source and the strength of your life.

Remember, though you may offer peace, that doesn't mean they will accept peace.
You may have stayed away for two years/two days/two weeks -
let's be real...10 years, 15 years, - just to keep the peace.
Then, return, and they are still mad, mouthy and scrappish about you.
You know they're always that way about somebody/anybody!
You just happen to be the target this time.
You may have spoken nothing or all good, just to keep the peace.
Yet, in your presence or absence, they are still messy towards you.
It's Christmas.
When Great Granddaddy, Grandmama, Boss, Leader or whoever the head or host (who's not the one that's mad about anything) calls for your presence to enjoy the celebration,
GO.
Stay in your place/heart/headspace of peace.
Sit by the head/host that invited you (so Messy won't bother you).
Enjoy yourself.
Let the mad ones leave. (You know they won't. They want to stay to watch you.)

Is it real or is it just your choice of what you will be obsessive-compulsive about?
If it's real, it's something or someone you really care about.
If it or they are just something to feed your compulsion, you'll change when you find a better or more convenient obsession, over and over again, and end up with years of targets for your obsession.

Who do you not associate with because of who you associate with?
Some people don't associate with him/her because their associate demands that they not/won't give his/her 'permission' to associate with him/her.
"You want to be friends with me? Don't go near them." is not a good way to be.

Reputation?
What kind of reputation do we have?
Do cashiers, servers, doctors, ushers, teachers, or bosses hate to see any of us coming because you
- argue every price or total at the grocery, salon, barber, or clothing store register;
- change an order several times or request a 10-item salad with each item on its own
dish because you want to put the salad together yourself;
- argue with every diagnosis and treatment the doctor gives and proclaim 'the devil
is a liar and you don't claim it, even though you took yourself to the doctor to get
their knowledge and help;
- attitude, attitude, attitude;
- register for the class then immediately beg for grace and mercy and give reasons
you can't ever attend most sessions or meet deadlines and will attend only on test
days; or
- show up for work intending to do very little work, but always talking about Jesus?
What reputation have you made of yourself? Leave a comment.

Are you - an individual, business, organization, shopper, eater, pet owner,... - copying someone else because
#1 - what they're doing is good, right, or fits you/your assignment on Earth
OR
#2 - because there is no vision or sense of the abilities/skills available within the one or the many, so you 'shop' what other's are doing and "just try it to see if it works"?

#1 - Great. There's nothing new under the sun although it may be new to/of/for you. #2 - If the heart and motivation are right when feeling around to find the "That's it!", then that's okay. To just randomly copy with no intention of finding your niche is shaky.

I got hired for a particular Summer temp job a few times. I got the first one because of my skills. How did I get the others? I spoke of the first one. I simply said, "I survived BOA for nine months." The hiring company knew it had way more to do with just technical skills.
SO, how do YOU know I'm strong?
I survived you.

For a while after 2020, there was someone on FB who had one response to people's complaints or stories about bad situations.  That person's comment was always, "But did you die?"  It sounded harsh, but that person had a point. Life means there's still chances to keep going and doing and love and be loved by family and friends.

Years ago, I remember giving someone something to do. Their friend didn't want them to have to do it, so I found the friend doing it while the person watched.
The friend was clearly frustrated with the task, even though he chose to do it. I told him that he was frustrated because it wasn't his assignment to do. He should have let the other person do it like they were supposed to and had initially been willing to do.
Frustrated? Maybe you're not supposed to be doing it, no matter how noble, good or right the assignment is.

Control and manipulation are not always loud and menacing.
Example:
Make a sign with xxx on it.
What color?
You choose.
(Presents sign.)
I don't like that color.
What color would you like?
Whatever you choose. The deadline is approaching.
(Presents another sign.)
I don't like that color. Make another one.
Give me the color you want. How can I know which color you want?
Figure it out. [Meaning keep bringing signs until your stressed and aggravated, which will make me so happy to see you that way].

Shared from a friend's page.
My friends,
LONG POST:
Go ahead and do it. It appears that most people are tempted to. Go ahead and do it.
But keep in mind something.
*When you're standing there pumping gas at pump number three, the person across from you at pump number four is a man who has a daughter at home recovering from chemotherapy.
*The woman who is in front of you taking forever with her purchases at Target is shopping for Christmas for the first time without her sister who died last August.
*The person pushing for the elevator, acting impatiently, getting on your nerves just lost his job and is on his way to the unemployment office.
*The man you buy a Christmas tree from will have Christmas with his 5-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter *without a tree* because his job is over after Christmas and he hasn't found more work yet.
*The Doctor who has the rough, icy bedside manner discussing your cancer situation had a patient who died yesterday, and he's wondering if he could have done more.
*The bank teller who is taking forever faced the previous night that her husband didn't come home because he has a drinking problem.
*The teenage boy who has 30 items at Kroger while you stand behind him with one item will not let you in front. He didn't even think about it. His mind can't offer courteous gestures because he's thinking about seeing his father hit his mother over the weekend.
So go ahead and do it.
*Find the one person today as you go about conducting your business, encountering folks in everyday whereabouts who is living a great life, with no obstacle to joy.
*Find one person today who is free from problem solving steeped in cruel anxiety and inflammatory insomnia.
*Find one person today free from struggle, vacant from problems, relaxed from stress.
*Find one person today that has it all together.
And then go ahead and do it.
**Go ahead once you find this person and criticize them or tell them how they should conduct their life or tell them what you think of their choice for a job, loving partner, or that you don't agree with their choice of identity, clothing, or friends.
Go ahead and tell them.
Make their life your business.
But only if you can find the person living the dream with nothing but fruitful pleasure.
**Otherwise, be kind and don't add to others' dilemmas. Be the grace that they need in their life when you encounter them. Everyone has a situation less than desirable. Everyone is problem solving, and it's taxing emotionally, mentally spiritually, financially draining.
Be the grace.
Thank you.

I love how God tells me what to pray that He's willing to grant.
Like a parent tells a child how to ask for something, or a leader instructs a student how to request something from a Counselor, Coach or Teacher, so will God tell us how to ask for something in the way that He's willing to grant it.
He let's me know when He has heard me. It may take me some time to get to the point of hearing Him correctly, but He's there waiting to tell me how to ask and I feel when I've done it correctly.

How to act after you fight for yourself and win, and still have to be in the other person's presence?
Act like nothing happened.
No face. No emotions/feelings oozing out. Zero body language.

Sometimes, they have to do it to you before they learn to stop doing it.
They've done it to so many others, with no consequences. When they do it to you, God says enough.
Between what God does to them and how God tells you to handle some incidences, they learn that they don't want to do that to anyone else ever again.
When they harrass you...
When they steal from you...
When they bother your children...
Whey they mistreat your parents...
When they tear you down to the boss...
When they skip you, so it appears you didn't do your assignment...
When they leave you out of the meeting...
When they take you off the email...
When they didn't get your ticket...
When they don't pay you back...
When they ...
You get the point.
You have to endure, but be glad God uses you to be the last one they do t-h-a-t to.

Why do you want someone to stop what they're doing?
Places of leisure? Music? Entertainment? Clothing? Youtube? IG? FB? X? TikTok? Sports? TV? Certain foods? Christmas Trees? Easter candy? Karaoke? Traveling? ...
Does God dislike it
OR
YOU don't like it, so you want others to stop it...for YOU?
God or controlling?
God or self-absorbed?
Are we diligently avoiding the same activities or sneaking around doing them even though we insist others don't do them?

God decides it's yours. People try to make us prove to them that we should be there or participating in something they don't even own. Even they got there only because of God.

They can't make the whole place ignore us, so they try to get us to make ourselves smaller, so those in the room/place won't be drawn to us when we enter.
Don't!
Don't make yourself smaller.
The opposition needs to take up the matter with God, the Giver of whatever it is we have that draws the attention of everyone in the 'room', which we didn't ask for but is part of the gift.
Leave us alone and let us 'work' the 'work' that God works through us.

Take their weapons away.
What are they using against you or to control and keep you?
Promises of money, joy, clothes, jewelry, toys, or attention?
Listen!
If you feel victimized, whether the offerings are things you asked for or don't care one way or another if you get them, take their weapons away.
Make it clear, in word or actions, that you don't want any of it. Go on your own. Buy it yourself. Refuse the invitation. Stop letting them play games with you.
Now, for you gas lighters, often if you just be a nice, normal person (work on you, have confidence in what you have to offer, understand who you're dealing with, know the will of God, etc.), people will continue on their own because they want your friendship or whatever type of relationship is desired. No tricks needed. No lies needed. No fakeness needed. Don't be a scammer. Be honest. No gas lighting needed.
