The enemy loves to get in my head and tell me thats it’s too late too to do the things that God asks me to do.  I believed for years that it was  too late to start that new career, its  too late to break away from unhealthy relationship and even now … its too late to start this blog. Now that being said Hi, Hello, my name Is Bethany Hope. I want to officially Welcome you  to my personal blog. I  Know its the end of the year but I feel a urgency to post today. i use to think my story was unique but really  it isn’t. The things I am going to share on this blog are warning signs to some but are also very relatable to others. So lets get started. 

There’s this terminally called cuffing season is normally used among menials and Gen Zers but everyone participates in this act. Yes even the old boomers and anyone with a pulse.

Cuffing season is done mostly in the fall and winter, it’s the time when people connect themselves  to things that are below their value or convenient for the time being. 

In the urban dictionary cuffing season means “ it’s a season of loneliness and desperation you settle for our relationship that’s beneath your standards” 

This definition uses relationships as an example but its not about just relationships please keep reading. I want to be clear everything has consequence  good and bad.  Being cuffed to anything that is not christ Himself will lead to death in time. For example being cuffed to wanting to getting married  is just as unhealthy as being cuffed to money the little things you do will become patterns and become big problems. I’ll come back to this in a moment. 

 To to make this easier to understand. Imagine my friend coming over to hang out and she  asked me for a quick snack I wouldn’t go to the garbage can to grab her  something to eat. Why ?? Because the garbage can is not a standard for someone to eat from. We all know how ridicules it would be if someone went to their garbage to grab you food. You and I both have a standard when it comes to food. We know no matter what we are not eating out of the trash. This Sanrio may seem like a no brainer  but the “eating trash” is just an example of the real thing we settling in our lives. some examples can be love for money, wanting a relationships and or a successful  career. If you’re a believer or not I want to tell you the things you  are doing in just “for now” knowing its the very thing that is destroying you. you would never settle to eat trash because your hungry even if no one was watching right? keep the same standard in al areas of your life.

Im not off the hook either. Ive been in many situations that destroyed me because I was lonely, inpatient and board. I will open up on this blog about my relationships, difunctional eating and personal insecurities. I have endured lot of pain because of my own choices. Ive been bound up by shame and guilt for years. The "well sees" are never fun.

let this be a blessing season . a season that is a thirst trap or distraction a season that isn't lonely but full of life. Where God pours out peace and direction onto your life. A season that God blesses you so you can be a blessing to others. Do not be fooled by anything. Dont wonder looking for food in the trash cans. what you find is contaminated. Please do not be curious about things of the world. Ask for help, ask for prayer be honest with you self if you need help. Just like you choose what to wear everyday you choose to receive Gods guidance.

I believe everyone who is reading this God sent you to this blog this message is no mistake.  God sees you and he loves you. stand tall and pray that God revels all the areas where the enemy is lying to you. read His word for guidance and rejoice that youre alive today.

read with me   Romans 12 verse 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Please let me know how I can pray for you. share is you must but most importantly I love you and God loves you
