Doubting is okay👍 2025 Early Edition
1. Doubting is okay!
How to Un-clogged the Drain:
Un-clogged from Doubt❓️Woohoo❗️
Doubting is okay !!!
What if? What if? What if? Did I do something wrong? Do I lack faith? What if the business, ministry, and relationship don’t work out? What then?
Don’t feel bad! Everybody doubts in the beginning. Even Thomas doubted. “Unless I see,” said Thomas; John 20:24-29.
“Don’t you tell me Jesus is alive; I saw the man die. My momma didn’t raise any fool. I know what I saw. You’re not gonna tell me; He’s still alive, says Thomas. Unless I see,” says Thomas.
“I need proof and confirmation that Jesus is still alive,” says Thomas.
Doubting feels like a bad👎thing when you’re walking by faith.
It’s a new venue. You’ve never been here before. It’s okay to have doubts. It’s the unknown that scares people. Not having a track record in this area.
Do I need more funding, more education, more, etc?
I have faith for everything else, but not this.
Doubting is okay! It means you’re on the right✅️track.
Doubting is another giant that must come toppling down in order to see👀your way clear because doubting is blocking🚫the view.
With doubt out of the way…
Sing: I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way…it’s gonna be a bright, cause doubt is out of my way.
Two things doubting keeps you from.
A. The presence of God
B. The promise of God
Doubting says I can’t approach God’s presence because I’m… Excuses! Excuses!
Sing: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saves a “bitch” like, I meant wreck like me…”
The Devil is a Liar, a song by Colton Dixon.
The Bible says let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace; Hebrews 4:16.
You know how kids are; come barging into the room without knocking. Daddy, Daddy, I need x-y and z, they cry.
That’s how we as✝️Christians should be, come barging in God’s presence.
“And who are you supposed to be?” someone in the room asked. Tell em!
“I’m the owner of this house, and this here is me, Daddy God, the kid shouts back.
“That’s right, strange person in the room! You’re excused! You have no relationship. I need to talk👄to my Daddy God,” the kid replies.
Here’s another thing doubting says.
I can’t receive the promises of God, because I lack faith.
But I have good news, my friends. Even if your FAITH IS SHAKING, continue walking by faith.
Before long, you’ll start to feel competent, and then confidence will kick in.
That’s how you’ll know that you’ve been un-clogged from doubt because the faith to do it begins to flow again.
Question: What’s clogging your system or drain? Doubt? Fear? Anxiety?
…even if your mind is full of questions, keep walking by faith.
I congratulate you on trying something new. You did it! You are a leader among men!
2. The Third DRAFT
Before I get to the third draft, let’s talk about…
What to do about the un-house and prison population during war and uncertainty?
What is a military draft used for?
Answer: To fill vacancies in the armed forces that could not be filled through voluntary means.
Question: Guns and teenagers, seeing that they already know how to use a🔫gun, why not let them be drafted into the military?
Why have them kill each other on the streets, they already know how to use a gun, why not put them in the military?
1.8 million men and women in the prison population can use a🔫gun.
650.000 thousand un-house can use a🔫gun and have no job.
That’s an added number for the military🪖if you’re counting.
It will give them purpose and keep them out of trouble.
Why put America’s finest “military” on the front lines to die when you have 1.8 million in the prison population? It’s better than sitting in prison all day and rotting.
And🚜farmers need help, why not put the un-house to work on the farm, pay them to pick apples, etc?
It beats sitting around all day, doing drugs, doing nothing. Hmm!
Let’s start the conversation about politics; who would like to change the policy when it comes to the in-house and prison population? I’ve given you some💡ideas.
…Anyways! Back to telling the story of Jesus.
The Third Draft
The Plot Thickens
Here’s an idea💡for a plot twist: a book📚best seller. Does anyone want to write✍️it? I haven’t got the time or the energy.
The third draft refers to the third version of a written piece, usually indicating a stage in the writing process where the author has already revised the work significantly twice, and is now focusing on fine-tuning details like style, clarity, and grammar, getting closer to a final polished version.
The Third Draft
The Plot Thickens
Same Story! Different Characters!
In telling the story of Jesus, who’s playing what role?
What role is your team playing in 2025?
Are you the Pharisee? Sadducee? Joseph? Peter? Paul? Judas? Or Jesus, the good guy?
Which role are you playing?
Which character are you, naughty or nice?
All throughout history, the Bible appears to be repeating itself: same story but different characters…me! You!
As you have read so far, I’ve played my role in telling the story of Jesus for the last few years.
It’s your turn now to tell the story of Jesus; how will you tell it?
Who will be the main characters in your story in 2025?
Which one will play the role of Judas? Which one will play Paul’s role? etc.
…and don’t forget now; the devil😈can appear as an😇angel of light.
Who will show up as the devil in your story? Who will play the role of the devil in your story?
I’m really interested to see how your story develops.
Can’t wait to📚read your story. Let me know how it turned out. Smile!
Ps. Didn’t you get the memo, devil? I happened to be the neighborhood watch🧐always watching and praying for my people; see you around town. Smile!
Welcome, I'm Karen!
Hello friend! Writing has been my passion since I was nine. Winning my first writing contest at that young age inspired me to keep improving my skills. Fast forward to when I was 22 years old when I experienced a profound spiritual awakening that led me to become a devout Christian. From that point on, I knew that I wanted to use my writing abilities to spread the word of God and positively impact the world.
- Over the past 30 years, I have poured myself into my writing, producing a wide range of content that spans from letters to prisoners and newsletters to newspaper articles, books, and social media posts.
- For the past four years, I have even been contributing to the Churchome App, sharing my thoughts, insights, and experiences with the wider Christian community.
- I am particularly proud of my latest books, "Let's Make Love, Then Cook. It's Not What You Think" and "It's Just Good Housekeeping."
- "Let's Make Love, Then Cook. It's Not What You Think" is about loving God, loving people, and serving people.
- "It's Just Good Housekeeping." is about finding an attractive way to encourage everyone to read their Bible because reading the Bible has an impact on keeping our lives clean and pure.
These books are a testament to my love of writing, as well as my commitment to using that writing to inspire, inform, and entertain people from all walks of life.
