Hello APOOO family and friends!
It’s Sunday and the start of a new week and a new theme for APOOO. This has been on my heart for awhile and this morning at 7:30AM EST when my middle brother called (yet again) it was definitely brought to the forefront. Today APOOO kicks off SoulFul Sundays. Each Sunday I will feature a song (or two) along with a Bible verse (yes the Bible…it is a book…lol) based on what is going on in my life or those of my APOOO family and friends. So, if you want to get a Word…send me an email offloop and I will lift you on Sunday morning with a Song of Praise and a Word/bible verse. Now, I encourage you to grab a cup of coffee, sit back, relax and listen to Yolanda Adam’s sing the Battle is the Lord’s.
Today’s post is dedicated to my brother–Keith, no matter what you are going through remember God wants a chance to use you–the battle is not yours it’s the Lord’s.
1 Samuel 17:47 (New International Version)
“All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
DISCUSSION QUESTION
What’s on your Soulful Sunday playlist today and what bible verse is in your heart?

Hey Sis…that’s a wonderful song-and fitting for the trial i’m enduring as we speak. it’s just hard to remember in the midst of going thru, the battle is really His and not ours.
thanks

Hey Bria yes I’m such a softie when it comes to my family…and I have to remind myself that I’m not their savoir or their G-d…the battle is really not mine! So sis hold that song and verse close to your heart as you work through your private trial.

Sistah Yasmin.. YOu must have felt my spirit scream today.. I been dealing with family issues all weekend.. you know the ones that they try to make your problems.. After listening to them I had to flip it back to them… Sista girl is getting too old to deal with BS… Thanks for the word and song of encouragement…
HEY SIS…u know brothas sometimes don’t understand why we wear super capes and a big S on our chest…it’s because too often they try and make their battles ours…and then get upset because we take charge…gurl I have to keep reminding myself…it AIN’T MINE! Glad it a word you needed to hear as well.
