The practice of people pleasing

Image may contain: one or more people and text

Image may contain: possible text that says 'I learned soon enough that God called us to be people-lovers not people-pleasers. We can have the power to love people without becoming slave to their opinions and behaviors. Boundaries are your responsibility. At some point us people-pleasers must set the tone for how we should be 2 and the direction in which WE are called. -Brittney Moses'

Image may contain: possible text that says 'If you never heal from what hurt you, then you'll bleed on people who did not cut you. NotSalmon.com'

Image may contain: possible text that says 'Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side because it's fake.'

Thought for today:
Good morning kings and queens,
I start this Monday off deep in thought....

I saw the pic about the greener grass and began to think about how many of us act in cursory and scripted behavior patterns that are rooted in trauma rather than altruism. I then thought about how these patterns of behavior NEVER lead to joy and happiness and how they rob us of the beauty and the purity of/in love.

Our scripted behaviors make us caricatures and automatons living out the plans of others. Our scripted behaviors convince us that we're real when we're actually acting out a fear response that continue to batter our souls and steals our authenticity. Our scripted behaviors redirect our focus from our healing by creating diversionary "emergencies" that are actually visits to "trauma fires"

Begin your healing process by looking to who God says you are rather than what people say and manipulate you into believing. Begin your healing by taking a journey into your soul...with the belief that you are wonderfully made Psalm 139:14. Begin your healing knowing that God made you in love and that you are unique and that your uniqueness has a place in this world.

Truth is that you don't have to hide or be ashamed of anything that makes you, YOU!!!!
KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED!!!! ~KB

About Me:

About me- that's a tough question to answer. I'm a writer first and foremost; I acknowledge and embrace my gift.

This page was created to share my faith and to motivate and encourage others to explore their spirituality and to start a lifelong faith walk. Far too many of us have embraced church messages of can't and condemnation because of short comings and character defects.

In the mid '90's I discovered a place that resuscitated my spirituality and encouraged me to acquire a deeper theological foundation. I was blessed to learn from Bishop Yvette Flunder and it is my fervent prayer that I continue to preach and teach what I learned about the gospel, liberation theology and radical inclusivity.

What I Believe:

Radical Inclusivity is the intentional inclusion of all persons; especially people who have traditionally lived at the margins of society, such as people suffering from substance abuse; people living with HIV/AIDS; same-gender loving people; the recently incarcerated; and sex industry workers.

At the core faith and vision is a mandate from God to proclaim a gospel that is radically inclusive of all persons. The Fellowship defines radically inclusivity as "the intentional inclusion of every person in the community of faith." Inclusivity challenges major fundamental, deep-seated Christian beliefs, doctrines and theologies of the center of society which characterize people on the edge as enemies of God and routinely mistreats, oppresses and excludes people from the community of faith and its institutions. It is my purpose and aim to provide a safe place of refuge for persons who have been wounded by oppressive theologies and to provide a place of nurturing and training for those who feel called to this shared ministry.
