I realize the world is moving in its place.
The question lingers Who am I? What am I doing? Questions I know the answer to. That I am in no way obliged to share with a scornful population of scorpions.
However, we can get tangled and caught up in society structures. Social experiments? Yes, like a science project you didn't sign up for? Mouse and a maze really???!
Social Justice. Expectations this world has and tries to create.
I would like to take opportunity to clearly state I am not sorry for being who I am. Shocking...
Not everything that presents itself to us is an opportunity. I am going to say this one more time not everything that presents itself to us an OPPORTUNITY!
Let me take that a step further. Many things that present themselves to us are bait, trap, and snares. These traps, baits and snares are in short answer: deception. Bait, traps, snares are moment(s) of what is perceived as a strike attack to our time. This is when the world and specific people lewdly presume it is ok to waste our time.
And let's take it another step further..
Wisdom does not only guide us in what to do it also guides us in what not to do. May we apply this when random situations try to disguise themselves as opportunities to lure us into a state of involvement. Which is aka wasting our time intentionally.
Wisdom will help us to realize there is always ulterior motives. Not everything that is presented or passed is an opportunity.
Yes, I have largely experienced this. I mean their are tons of strange people, random people running around acting like they are my next step to?. But I know it is a lie straight from the pits of hell.
Carefully laid traps, and sometimes the mouth lays these traps. I get it now the whole expression when people say "shut your trap!" Mildly hilarious. It is indeed a trap, a deadly one.
Bait, now bait is often mistaken as an opportunity because of they minuscule component of temptation attached to it. This is suggesting by means of half sighted manipulation we will misss the "hook" attached to it. Bait is that tiny piece or half-truth of whatever to pull us seductively into a trap. Where no flourishing exists just wasted time and energy.
Snares are thoroughly thought through. These are the worst kind; these are life sized cages that are just evil. They are plotted to steal ones time, sometimes ones life. All to capitalize on someone else. Sometimes these are an awful double booking with a different firm. Maybe a duel job interview for a two faced industry. These obviously create problems and hazards. Snares should be avoided at all costs. There is a duality to it.
Bait, trap, snares are sinful and share the context similar as prostituting oneself to another. Especially if you are the one being presented with these situation ships. In nature and context it is vile, unwanted, and not endorsed. All three of these keep changing outfits hoping to buy some of our time. To sell us some trick no one wants. Laced harlotry?
Bait, traps, snares waste people's time.
No. We do not have to be baited, trapped, and snared into guilt about all the refusals we have made in our life time. Or feel guilty about the bait, traps, and snares we clearly rejected and ejected out of our lives. Don't fall for the bait. I am not attracted to you bait, trap, snare!
We know better. Let's do better. However, in the 21st century, we pretend we can cross talk our way out it.
The pursuit of a thing...
Now, opportunity is mutually beneficial, collaborative by nature. Can not be mistaken for extortion, or submission. They are not misogyny. By beneficial I mean endorsed by God. Providence. These are not a waste of time in fact they are the opposite. They add to purpose and are mutually intentional.
Being myself in my life. My very large life (Not everyone will unresttd that becaue they are not supposed to.) Some of these things include but are not limited to; running my own business, doing what I do how I do it, keeping my faith in Christ, fighting the good fight of faith, outside my style, not being overwhelmed with post-it labels?, not being devoured by the lust of this world, not being an inanimate object, having a fantastic sense of humor, which is largely seen as inappropriate, Christ, moving past labels, moving past mediocre, standing by my closed doors, embracing my opportunities, not living in someone elses shadow, beyond home furnishing, beyond real estate, or having a weird chip on my shoulder, embracing the dynamics of who I am, choosing to not allow toxic people in my life, being alone but never lonely, be loved, being hated, being beautifully fearfully wonderfully made, being thankful, being in love with Christ, being a single women (really single), having my own interests and prospects, having my own objectives, pursuits, making my own choices, loving it, changing my mind, my life, my style, not becoming, I am, knowing my labor is not in vain.

Knowing the difference.
In the face of adversity not allowing a bunch of manipulative bait, traps, snares immoral people ball and chain me down to their ideas, baits, snares, traps. Not being balled and chained to the past. It is absolutely amazing. Not allowing myself to be indoctrinated by stupidity. Yes.
Being myself whether the world likes it or not.
I will not settle and either should you. Don't fall for it. Bait, traps, snares do not equate Mass weapons of bait. Mass weapons of deceit. Mass weapons of No.
Jesus Christ Forevermore.
