Baby Hawk Review

Baby Hawk Mei Tai

Cost: $89.00 USD

Location: Amazon 

Pros: 

• I have tried about four carriers prior to this and this is hands down the most comfortable! Trust me that is important! 
• It is stylish and can be customized which I love! 
• You can carry the baby on the front OR the back...safely.
• It can hold a baby/toddler up to 35 pounds.
• It is comfortable to wear and doesn't make you feel hot like other carriers.
• It is easy to figure out unlike others on the market. The wraps are easy peasy! 

Cons:

• My only con was disappointment that I did not get it sooner. That is my honest opinion. This is by far the best carrier I have tried. I recommend this without reservations.

Take Home Message: I love this wrap and most importantly so does my baby! She is happy and comfy in it and what more can a mother ask for. If you have tried other carriers with no success try this one! It worked for us really well when other ones didn't. 

Cliques in the Church

 Doesn't this seem like such a conflicting concept? When you think about church's do you consider cliques? When I first came to church I did not even think about that as a factor. However, slowly but surely you can see who is who, who likes who, and what they think about you. Perhaps, you don't fit into the culture or you don't look like you belong. Nonetheless, church cliques are very real and extremely detrimental to the body of Christ.

Then I thought, well Jesus had has disciples which is kind of like a clique. They were His ride or die, you know what I mean? But, the difference between then and now is simple...EXCLUSION. All though Jesus did have this disciples, He did not exclude others.

Romans:12:16 says, "Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position" (New International Version).

Saints of the Most High God.....Listen Up.....(And Lord help me to practice what I preach). Real talk, we need to cut that out. Notice I said WE. I have seen both sides of it and it hurts....it hurts your heart. Why perpetuate it any longer? Lets stop the madness.

Challenge for US: Talk to someone outside of your normal gal/guy pals (<---Seriously did I just write that lol).  Get to know them and embrace them. We need each other. Loneliness and lack of belonging is a problem in the church. Adam experienced it in the Garden of Eden long before Eve was there. He had everything he could EVER want but was still lonely. Can you imagine how someone else feels?

I am anti cliques in the name of Jesus!

What's up with Christians dating Unbelievers?

Enlighten me please. We need to get serious about this. The Word of God says this ""Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Cor. 6:14, KJV). What is God saying here? He is saying do not go there! But what's up with Christians still going there? The Bible is so clear on this matter but yet we try to make it gray by saying "Well he/she is coming to church?" or "Jesus knows their heart"! Yea, God does know their heart but He knows yours too! Who are you fooling? God...I think not. 


Deut 22:10 says "You must not plow with an ox and a donkey harnessed together". Someone out there gets what I am saying here. The two do not go together. By nature, these two animals are inherently different and have different agendas. This metaphorically relates to the above. 


Let me break it down in another way. Oil and water don't mix. This is basic chemistry. Now that we are on the same page. These two things do not mix because they cannot form bonds (And the rocks said Amen). Water is a polar molecule and there is an equal sharing of hydrogen and electronegative oxygen. Oil, on the other hand, is made up of hydrocarbon chains and is water hating. But someone out there is saying slow your roll you don't know my man or my chick? They don't hate God. If you are not for God then you are against God.Thus, if you do not love God...... I think you smell what I am stepping in. These two things do not mix. Much like a Christian and Unbeliever you can put them together but the two are inherently different. Their make up is different. 


God's chemistry is the right Chemistry. 


My message may not be popular but it is Truth. I take truth over popularity any day!

The BEST Time to Have SEX

Morning, evening, or afternoon you wonder? The best time to have sex by far is the time in your life when you are married. Gotcha, I mean what did you think I was going to say. No but seriously, I was listening to this great sermon on You Tube by PastorJustinP4CM about the best time to have sex and I thought I would share.

WARNING: THE INFORMATION BELOW IS PROFOUND.

God has a design for intimacy and sex. He created us humans as sexual beings with sexual desires. He wants us to have GREAT sex.... but in the right time and place. I will use PastorJustinP4CM's analogy. Think about drinking milk. It has a best enjoyed by [insert date]. Why is that? Well it serves as that company's gurantee that the milk will be great IF you drink it within that particular time frame. THE SAME WITH SEX! Sex is BEST enjoyed during marriage.

MATTHEW 5:27-28 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. "

10 Property Management Secrets No One Will Tell You!

10. Renters have more power than they think. You think the manager of your office doesn't have someone to answer to? If you have a complaint and they aren't cutting it. Get yourself to the Regional Property Manager and see if things don't turn around.

9. The leasing staff loves to talk about you. But when you come into the office ranting about your life, you bet we will talk about it.

8.Fair Housing is real and renters have rights! If you are being treated unfairly check to see if you fall under a protected class. They will never tell you this because its bad for publicity.

7. It takes time to be evicted (Legal Mumbo Jumbo) If you get a three day notice that does not mean literally three days. But this letter can and will put eviction in motion if you don't comply.

6. Your unit may have been tore up from the floor up before you moved in...but we fixed and made it rent ready so you never knew the difference :)

5. A property that is not kept up from the outside (lawn maintenance) is not a good sign. The property may be going through a transition that you may not want to deal with.

4. Leasing staff can't tell you about the people that live there. For instance, if we know a lot of children or one particular race lives there. If you ask us we cannot tell you, it is a illegal.

3. Following up to number 4, if you want to know if you will like it there. Drive around and see the property. Do it in the evening or night.

2. When you're renewing your lease you have a little power. Management does not want you to go. It brings down the occupancy percentage and we don't want that. Ask them to clean your carpet and you'll renew. See what happens.

1. We can't tell you if the area is safe. But if you want to know if the leasing staff really likes the property ask them if they live there :) If they say no, chances are they would not live there so would you?
