Dear Auntie Mama

This is an example of an advice column.

Dear Auntie Mama, I am having issues with my grown son taking care of his responsibilities. He needs to get his own place, and he drags his feet. Though I try to be understanding, he acts entitled. What can I do to help my son without crushing his self-esteem? Thanks, Mom in Need.

AuntieMama: Dear Mom In Need, Auntie understands how you feel and how you want to make sure your son is not offended by what you need to tell him, but niece, it’s time for him to grow. As parents, nurturing is the backbone of who we are, but today, enough is enough. You have obviously grown weary of the situation, and you have the right to protect yourself. Here is what I would suggest you do. 

  1. Have a sit-down talk and ask what his vision is for the next 30 days of his life.
  2. Give him some direction on what he can do to move toward that vision.
  3. Give him a deadline to implement, i.e., 30, 60 or 90 days.
  4. Don’t back down; stay strong and help out your house.

This helps you move toward having your son out of your house.

Be blessed, good luck, and know that God is watching. Love, AuntieMama

Rise Up!

To rise up above your situation requires faith “ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 What are you hoping for? What are you waiting for? What are you expecting to happen? While you are waiting for it to manifest act as if you have it already. Start making preparations for it

I don’t see it but I believe it will happen. I don’t understand it but I know it’s going to work out for my good. When will you rise up above your situation? How long will you sit there? How long will you wait for someone to come and rescue you? How long will you feel sorry for yourself? How long will you blame others? When God has already given us the power to rise up.

Can you imagine? You are in service and someone you have known for years of being lame and now they are instantly healed. For years of wanting to be healed, years of being rejected, years of not knowing who you are, years of living in confusion, years of living in rebellion, years of not knowing your purpose, you messed up, get over yourself. It’s time out for excuses. God knew it was going to happen, God knows what you were going to do or have done. It’s over; now rise up!
