Making It Plain

The last entry of this blog had the definition of Oakie-Doke and all it entails. Please have a quick read to understand completely what the reference means. Recently, I was thinking about that verse with Abraham when he was leaving his parents' home and venturing forth with the direction of God at the helm, only Lot, his nephew, never got the memo and he came along as well ( Genesis 12:1-5 AMP ). The thought that was troubling was if Lot was married when he decided to leave with his uncle. The Word doesn't tell that he had anyone with him but it does clearly define that Lot had a family when leaving Sodom and Gomorrah. Or did the Word make those clarifications because of where the hearts of his family would rather have been ( Genesis 19:1-16 AMP )? The Word tells us to guard our hearts for out of them come the issue of life ( Proverbs 4:23 AMP ).

This sounds like a directive, instruction, and a rule to live by. Only a fool would disregard it ( Proverbs 1:7 KJV ). What is "Oakie-Doke"? "Oakie-Doke" is a place where you were raised as a child. It can be a place that your parents started off with a young family because it is all they could afford at the time. It is a place where one would call a "comfort zone" and won't take a step for fear rather then for growth. Whether it is your mama's basement or an oppressive place of employment - it could very well be your obstacle impeding you from obtaining the blessings of the Lord. For Abraham, it was his family's home. God...

There is a myriad of reasons why you would think this is a good idea; but let's face it, if God is not a part of that idea, its not a good idea at all ( Luke 18:19 AMP ). Wait! before you get upset and click onto something else thinking, "this woman doesn't know my situation," keep reading. Let's make a list as to why someone would do such a thing: 1. The ex is the biological parent to your children. 2. The children will be happy with the family back together. 3. Both of you have grown and changed since the last time you were together. 4. The feelings have not gone away for each other. 5. Your financial, social, and economic status would be better. 6. Other prospects for you are slim. 7. You don't like being alone anymore. 8. Maybe your decision to break up was too impulsive. 9. Forgiveness is the key for reconciliation. 10. Everyone deserves a second chance.
