hang up the chick habit

hang it up, daddy, 
or you'll be alone in a quick 
hang up the chick habit 
hang it up, daddy, 
or you'll never get another fix 

i'm telling you it's not a trick 
pay attention, don't be thick 
or you're liable to get licked 

you're gonna see the reason why 
when they're spitting in your eye 
they'll be spitting in your eye


Chick Habit- April March
I heard this at the end of Death Proof
and fell in love
added it to the space go and listen

Last night was pretty intense for me. I thought I was doing good with handling my anger but my tongue is a hard thing to tame. I felt really convicted about my twitter post but at that moment I needed to vent. If I didn't that wouldn't have been the only vulgar thing coming out of my mouth and it wouldn't have been posted on twitter. Somebody would have been hurt by my words. I had a revelation last night.. words are my downfall and defense. That is almost an oxymoron but not really. I use them as a defense which will ultimately lead to my downfall. I'm working on my tongue and how I use it... the Word says it can never be tamed. That scares me.

James 3
 5-6It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.

 7-10This is scary: You can tame a tiger, but you can't tame a tongue—it's never been done. The tongue runs wild, a wanton killer. With our tongues we bless God our Father; with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth!

13-16Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here's what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. Mean-spirited ambition isn't wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn't wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn't wisdom. It's the furthest thing from wisdom—it's animal cunning, devilish conniving. Whenever you're trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others' throats.

 17-18Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.

truth hitting me right in the face.


grace and peace my loves
