02/18/2010 – Honesty Today – Thankful Part 3 02/17/2010
Praise the Lord – we should be thankful for all that we are blessed with and believe God for all that we may be missing…but are we really missing anything? God has us all under His love, protection, grace, and mercy – we are covered in the blood of Jesus – we are taken care of by the Lord. Now I am not saying become hermits and live in a cave relying on Jesus sending ravens to feed you . . . if you do that you better have been told by Jesus to do that. (I could not even image and pray Jesus never tells me to do that!) Yet we all have responsibilities and direction from the Lord – BUT He still takes care of us and all that we need. As I was ending yesterday, I was speaking on WL4J – we have been blessed with some financial assistance that was never asked for. A sister just gave us the money so we could be a 501c3 non profit organization. We had clothes given to us to help those that are in need, we have had sisters offer help to others and we have had sister come for help. Yet it is in the Lord that we have been blessed – nothing of our doing at all. I have faith in the vision that God has given and I know that He will provide it to happen even in this state of the economy IF this is what He wants. We are going to start a few things coming soon. . . things geared towards single people, things geared towards fellowship and WL4J and as I am learning how to do things. . .I am learning more technology stuff to help move us to a different level. We are not able to do all that we need to do here on Ning.com so one day in the future we will be moving off of Ning.com to our own self supported server…imagine that… I have to smile as I think about that because there are things that we must be able to do and we need the right type of plan to allow us to do so. We are going to be able to connect and really reach out to each other like the big boys…LOL yet all of it will still be free – yes free….what an awesome word God has created . . . the word FREE!! I am trusting God for the finances to get this done – I am trusting God for the blessings of His ways to fall upon this adventure. . . praise God and make sure you say A prayer up to the Lord – trust Him and say just one prayer to the Lord for this particular adventure of WL4J. I would like to ask everyone to say one prayer for God to bless WL4J financially to do the upcoming venture…just one prayer and then trust God for the upcoming testimony. If everyone can do that – I know God will make a difference. The righteous prayers of a fervent man availth much so I know my own prayers can bring it to pass . . . but I also know that if two or three agree – we can consider it done. I am considering it done! Now the next thing – get ready to invite more sisters to the site and telling them how awesome we are LOL yes we are all awesome in Jesus! Once we start and get things moving even closer – I will fill you in on more details but I am so excited (can’t ya tell) and so thankful. I will not be online much where you can see me in the next couple of weeks as I prepare to get things done but I will be on here and there . . . if you need me please please please do not hesitate to contact me and if you do not want to call me – you can email me but we also have moderators on WL4J – feel free to contact them . . . Praise the Lord – changes are coming – are you ready??????? God Bless!! 02/17/2010 – Honesty Today –Thankful Part 2 02/16/2010
Praise the Lord! First thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes…God is good and I am thankful to the Lord for His mighty blessings! God has always blessing those that look to Him for all situations. It is something as I look over the things that He has blessed me to do in my life. I thank Him for it. I do not look at the bad as bad but as experience in life – for all things work to the good. Today I wanted to just speak on something that God has blessed me to understand. I know many do not believe what I am about to say and many will say but if you do not ask you will not have it. Yes the word says. Matthew 7:6-8 6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. It bothers me that people use that as a reason to beg for money. I am talking about those in the ministry work…plain and simple that is NOT what these scriptures mean…we are to ASK GOD!! I do not believe God will have His people begging. . . I do not mean that we can not ask for assistance or things like that. I am talking about ministries that send out emails asking for money. I am talking about ministers in the pulpit begging for money or making you think that you have to give more because of this scripture: Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. I get so tired of hearing that used in a manner of getting money from people. There is a thing that is called trusting God and believing God for it to be done. My pastor used to stand in the pulpit and talk about money – PRAISE THE LORD he stopped. I believe because there were several of us praying for him on that matter and God answered right away too. God has not blessed some of us with huge wealth because we would not share it with others, some of us would give it all away, and some of us would forget all about Jesus. I believe that many of us are wealthy not because of God not wanting us to be wealthy, because there are plenty of people in the word who were wealthy and I believe Jesus was wealthy too. He never wanted for a thing, he had a treasurer – there is no need for a treasurer if there is no money to look after and if there was only a couple hundred dollars there would be no need for a treasurer … think about that for a bit. The only difference is he did have the WANT for money – He looked to the Lord for His help. Yet we rely and depend on our finances to get us through difficult situations instead of looking to God. I believe some of us are in need of learning to depend on Jesus and not on us . . . looking to Him in all situations. It does not matter if your husband or wife does not do it – you can do it – you can trust Jesus all by yourself for your walk with Him is just that – YOUR WALK WITH HIM! It takes faith – oh the faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed…oh now – yes she said it – she really said it…FAITH!!! I am thankful today because Jesus is truly blessing us. My husband and I. . . it is our prayers and faith in Jesus. I can not stand getting up early every morning going to work while everyone else in my house is sleeping but I have faith that this is temporary. Yet, we do not worry about our bills; we do not concern ourselves with those things because Jesus always takes care of it for us. (Oops better say I do not – for I am not Merv but I just guess he does not either! LOL) I trust the vision God has given me of WL4J and my life in general. Sure I have moments of doubt but then the Lord reminds me of His word and I call on Him. I trust Him to do what He says He is going to do because He does not lie! Hallelujah!! How many times have we been lied too and how many times have people failed us – hummmm Jesus is the only one who can keep ALL His promises and NEVER fail BUT we have the hardest time trusting Him and having faith in Him…even though He has shown it to us a million billion trillion times that He is trust worthy and we can have faith in Him. I have watched Him given me a vision for WL4J and seen the enemy come against it and really busted me down and I am sure he is not done trying BUT GOD said that He will bring it to past. Check this out. . . A sister was promised a laptop that never came through; I became aware of it and really just asked God to change that situation. I was really hurt behind it because of how it went down, but yet I trust God. I apologized to the sister and sent out an email to all that if I did not say it – it will not be done. Yet I called on Jesus and I only called ONCE!! I placed it before His feet. End of story with the prayer. . . I believed and trusted… The flesh of me said – you can not afford to get yourself a new laptop let alone her a laptop…what are you going to do? The Holy Spirit said trust Jesus and let it go. . . okay cool…. Well my husband and I filed our income tax return, and I could not believe the amount… (I can’t tall ya that – LOL my hubby would flip on that! LOL) I did not think it would be possible – but Merv is going into the studio to do his first album…and I bought an awesome new laptop that I got on sale for $1,299 and let me tell you this – it is fast, it is awesome and it is just what I needed….for my old lap top was too slow for me. I was running 5 programs at once and you talk about frustrating….LOL yet as I realized that I could buy the new laptop (I had to wait for the check), I was driving home from wherever we were and I asked my hubby (who usually gets my old laptops for himself) if he minded if I gave my laptop to another . . . without hesitation he said no problem. I was thrilled. . . see my old computer is not fast enough for me but that is because of the million programs I run on it – yet it is an awesome computer with great speed and productivity. So the sister is getting my laptop and she should be smiling sometime today as it should arrive today. I trust God and knowing that He would never leave me or forsake me – I prayed and He made a way. He not only made a way but blessed my hubby to be able to go into the studio, blessed me with a new computer and blessed me to bless another. . . There are many more blessings in the making, already happened and on its way – yet it is my faith and trust that will keep me in that manner . . . we need to have the faith and trust in God – I wonder if I email all those that send out those emails requesting money to trust in Jesus. WL4J has never solicited for money but it takes money to run the websites and to help sisters but God always makes a way for it to be done – when He wants it to be done. Some things we want to do are not always what God wants us to do. . . we are blessed people in the Lord and He is keeping us by showing us in His word that we can stand in Him and He hears us. More to come . . . (it is already 3 pages long…LOL) 02/16/10 Honesty Today – Thankful 02/16/2010
Praise the Lord! It is a wonderful and blessed day today! It really is. . . despite how things look – it is a blessed day! God has blessed us to see yet another day in Him and that is a blessing right there. I have been busier than ever and it was something as I have been thinking about how I just keep my fingers on the keyboard yet we have so many other things to do in life. It is something to know that no matter what comes our way – Jesus is with us. How awesome is that!! I don’t have much to write about right now. . . LOL I am actually quiet today – praise God for that! I have been doing some reflection since I am getting older – yuck! I think the hardest part of this time of the year is I miss my mom. It is something to look up in the mirror and see her staring back at me . . .man do I look like her! LOL I act like her sometimes too! LOL (At least that is what my father says!) God is good and I am blessed. I think that part of the issue with growing older is our focus…but then that is life period. Where our focus is makes the difference . . . Or in other words – where our heart is – that is where our treasure is . . . Ummmmmmm that in itself is a thought…when we focus on self that is where our mindset will be, where our heart is focused for that time and where the mess of sin enters in. Our focus is to be on Jesus for when Jesus is our heart – than that is where our mindset is – where our treasure is . . . awww but the word of the Lord says this so much better than I can ever say it!! May the word bless you today! God Bless! Matthew 6:20-22 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. Matthew 12:34-36 34O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Luke 6:44-46 44For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luke 12:33-35 33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; Romans 2:4-6 4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 02/15/10 – Honesty Today 02/15/2010
Praise the Lord! The blessings of the Lord will flow from each one to the ultimate blessing – the day of His return! I am excited about that…yet there were some things that crossed my mind. First – none of us are perfect – the only perfect person to walk this earth was Jesus Christ Himself – who never fall or faltered in His walk at all…despite what people say or try to portray and for that I am grateful. He knows the stresses that we are under and the things we must go through and He is still here for us. It is really just a blessing to know that He loves us so – that He was perfect from the moment of conception – how awesome is that. We have to learn not to use the measuring stick that others have for us to measure up to but to use the word of the Lord to measure up to – yet there are times that we may find ourselves looking at others lives and thinking if only we could be that way . . . yet we need to look to Jesus and strive to be like Him more. The struggle is within us and we are winning the struggle but it is only because we look to Jesus – only Jesus can make the difference and change in us and those around us. I am thankful to know that HE is ever so mindful of me in all aspects of my life. We have to be mindful of the word of the Lord – the enemy is defeated – he loses the battle and the war and those that are living for Christ will the battles and the war…IN JESUS! Have you read the book of Revelation…Jesus is KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS!! There is a part of Revelations that is just so awesome to read – the coming of the Lord and the reign of Jesus is something to get excited about. When things of this life are pushing at us – look up to the Lord and call on Him to set up a standard against the enemy so that you can rise up on hind’s feet and leap over your issues. Speak to the enemy not in fear but in commandment – HE MUST FLEE from you when you place the word of the Lord – do not waiver when speaking it – speak it with conviction and know that he must obey – why must he obey BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD!! We must stop being soft and giving the enemy victory in our lives and situations – you have the fighting power of Jesus Christ residing in you – can’t do it alone – call on a sister and brother in Christ and pray with them….bring the enemy down by standing in the word of the Lord – speak the words of the Lord AND believe it to be done – don’t give it a second thought – speak it and keep moving – stand in Jesus and know that Jesus is fixing it all – it is done!! As the word said….Jesus said “It is finished” Just believe the Lord for yourself and watch the miracles come to be!!! God bless – Are you walking in victory or accepting defeat??? Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world so if you have Jesus, you have victory but are you walking in it? The choice is up to you – you can choice to live a life of abundance in Jesus or a life of chaos and unhappiness . . . Jesus brings more than you can ever imagine – see first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness – your future depends on it! Praise the Lord! The blessings of the Lord will flow from each one to the ultimate blessing – the day of His return! I am excited about that…yet there were some things that crossed my mind. First – none of us are perfect – the only perfect person to walk this earth was Jesus Christ Himself – who never fall or faltered in His walk at all…despite what people say or try to portray and for that I am grateful.

Praise the Lord for the mighty day in Him. What a day – sneaking a few moments at work to write as this is just on my mind. It is funny – work has picked up so much lately and my mind is going a mile a minute at work and have been keeping notes on things! Praise God for notes! It is really awesome to be walking in the Lord and knowing that in Him is all things and in all things is Him. We all have moments of doubt and frustration in making sure we are on the right path of things. . . there are always times that make us second guess what we are suppose to do and where we are supposed to go. It is all based on making sure we know whom we are listening too…remember that we need to test the spirits…despite what we think it is – test the spirits – ask God if that was His direction or self. When we look to God before running off into a new direction, we will know what God has for us to do. We have to keep our minds/hearts open to the voice of the Lord and if God does not speak to you while you are seeking a direction….sometimes you need to sit still and WAIT! Sometimes we want things so badly that we open the door for more mess in our lives. . . always seeking God and His direction is what we need to do at all time. It is a learning process – sometimes we think God is saying one thing – but we need to remember God’s people know His voice…. Do you know the voice of the Lord? Do you know when He is speaking to you? If not – seeking God’s direction is a MUST before you move to do a thing, then testing the sprits against the word of the Lord before moving forward. We must work on our relationship with the Lord and know that you are hearing from God. Too many of us make decisions or speak things into the air of this life and it is NOT related it to the will and voice of the Lord – we will make more headaches for ourselves but know this – we will learn! God bless and enjoy your blessed day in the Lord for He is worthy of all praise! 02-11-10 Honesty Today 02/11/2010
Praise the Lord for this wonderful and blessed day. Yet every day is a blessed day regardless of how I feel about things or how I feel. I was thinking about life and how it goes. It amazes me how God does what He does. We never really understand some things until we are out of them and looking back on the situation or another situation comes along that show us that we were being prepared. I keep hearing in my head – His ways are not our ways – His thoughts are not our thoughts. I also know that I am being prepared daily by the Lord. . . if we think about it – all the things that we encounter today will benefit us later. How awesome is that – God is so good to us and for that I am so grateful to Him for all He has done and doing – will do – says He won’t do and all things! God is so good to us! Okay – got to get some work done – I shall holla at ya later! God Bless! 02/10/10 Honesty Today 02/10/2010
Praise the Lord! I am so excited about WL4J. There are so many things running through my mind and I am so excited. It snowed again and I stayed home today – played games with my son and worked on some more school stuff for him. Hubby went to work so son and I watched some movies. Yet makes me miss the Disney movies of old….so I need to get more Disney movies! I am really looking forward to the upcoming things with WL4J. It has been on my mind so much lately about what to do that is more help for sisters and women everywhere. There is just not enough time in the day to get things done…but one day! I am working on a few projects for WL4J to help sisters become stronger in their walk in the Lord if they choose to along with building up their skills to help get better jobs and to do more about our lives. I really have always wanted to help people and to bring sisters and brothers to a better life in Christ and to be all we can be in this life. I am excited about the things to come and I know that I have to watch what I say so no one else takes my ideas but to reach out and do what is needed in the communities that I can reach. I have so many plans and praying for dedicated people who are really into taking the idea and running with it. I know God will send those that are truly wanting to do the work and taking the reins and running with it with little supervision….it is funny though…I can see my past supervisor skills kicking in…thank you Jesus… I have business plans to write and things to line up and research for both WL4J and my own personal business adventure and I am excited – I am so excited! Praise God for the excitement! Well I am going to go now – got some recording to do for the station…have you listened to Victorious Living Radio yet if not – why not check it out… God bless!!! Praise the Lord! Okay the Lord has commissioned me to be openly honest in all aspects of my life and a lot of times that is so dag on painful because of the mean things that come back at you so I write this with hesitation but writing it I must. As the Lord directs, I must follow even if it is with sorrow in doing so. Today is a day that all I have is my faith – my belief that Jesus is still in control and my faith that He is with me. It is all I have today – it is all that I can say to myself to keep me from fleeing to the old ways. . . I say to everyone – nothing worth having comes easy – so having Jesus in our lives we find that our flesh will cry out and it is so hard to silence it. I have been called all kinds of things since my walk in the Lord – this is to be expected, I can deal with that…what I can not deal with is feeling so alone in a room full of people. I have been feeling out there alone for the last 48 hours and it is taking it toll on me. I am screaming out to Jesus and calling out to the Lord in so many different ways and this today I know is the day that I stand before Him and say Lord – WHATEVER!!!! It is the day that I can not do another thing or think another thought – today is the day that it is just that – IT! This is the day that I have to sit here and just think on Him before I lose my mind . . . this is the day that I look to Him and WAIT ON HIM! Today is one of those days that saying it is so much easier than doing it. Today is one of those days that it is truly the Holy Spirit keeping me not going to doing the ways of the old but holding onto my faith and asking God to move right now on my behalf. Have you ever just sat in your chair, car or wherever and said to the Lord if He did not do something right then and there you were going to lose it and walk away? Did He answer you or did you feel like you were still standing there waiting? Well I am sitting here still waiting – He has answered but I have to wait on its manifestation before my face. I know that in all things God is still in control and all I can tell myself is that we walk by faith and by faith I must live for those without faith can not please God…. Let me break this down for you a little more . . . yesterday I was off due to doctor’s appointments and stuff with my son and school . . . which none of that went down because I said enough . . . so I sat on the couch and let my mind wander around in all areas of life…some of it good and some of it bad. I fight the things of old and strive to remember who I am now in Jesus and it is not always easy to do and of course the ways of this world get to even those that are in the mess of the world so what did I do. . . I prayed to the Lord – called out to Him and now it is time to wait – hold onto the faith and wait – talk to the Lord and wait. It is time to sit and wait for the manifestations of the Lord to go forth and make that change that is needed. In this life we all go through something – we all have struggles but even in our darkest moments if we can just hold onto the faith in the Lord – then the mountains will be moved. . . There are two examples of faith that I want to put in here as quickly as I can . . . Matthew 13:30-32 30Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 31Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. Matthew 17:19-21 19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting In both of these scriptures, Jesus is speaking about the grain of a mustard seed and what can come of it. It is a well known fact that a mustard seed is a very small seed that produces a big plant that can grow tall and strong. It is so true of our walk in the Lord.... What we do in our walk with Jesus and our faith in Him and His plans for our lives is what makes the difference in our life. When things look dark and dreary or you feel alone – all you must do is look to Jesus and have faith that He hears you – know it in your heart and then WAIT!! He has blessed us with His word – we must stand on His word and we must believe despite what we see before us and sometimes we have to keep reminding ourselves that He is there and He hears us until it is manifested before us. I am like the little girl in Miracle of 31st Street – after she did not get what she wanted from Santa Claus under the Christmas tree – she is sitting in the back of the car saying to herself – I believe – I believe – I know it sounds silly but I believe. . . This is where I am – I am faced with things that I do not understand – I am faced with much disappointment and uncertainty but one thing I do know is that I BELIEVE – I BELIEVE – IT MAY SOUND SILLY BUT I BELIEVE!! KEEP THE FAITH – JESUS HAS ANSWERED – NOW BE OF GOOD COURAGE AND WAIT I SAY UPON THE LORD! God bless and enjoy your blessed day in the Lord for in Him we are complete!! 2/02/10 Honesty Today – Questions . . . 02/02/2010
Praise the Lord – today is a new day from the Lord – a new opportunity to serve the Lord, for this I am grateful in Jesus. . . I thank God for His ways and His will – I thank God for being so good to me and for that I know I can keep moving on despite how the heck I feel. Yes it is one of those days and I really do not care what people think about this writing either. . . and I am sure someone will once again say I need a therapist – but you know what my therapist is Jesus and He is all I need. I get so frustrated at times with the things that lay before me. It sometimes is so dag on overwhelming and it is so hurtful when others do not take is seriously either. Okay YES I know the word of the Lord and for this I AM THANKFUL for it is keeping me from cussing people out, slapping people, and just beating people down . . . yes this is a good thing. It is really funny to me though – how people view things so differently and how they see things in a manner that you may not. Yet one thing that has been on my mind is this. . . Why are we so quick to say when we meet adversity that satan is holding us back or trying to steal something from us – how come it can not be that God is doing it on purpose? One of the first things that people tell me when I am feeling a certain kind of way about WL4J and things that lay before me – is to keep pressing on and know that God is in it, yet what if He is not I am not saying He is not in it but saying what if He is not? Funny though – how when it is related to a ministry in Jesus or even in our lives it is the enemy messing things up and not God trying to get us to move away from what He does not want us to do. . . I mean think about it . . . If you are in a relationship that God does not want you to be in, you keep saying his work schedule is the enemy messing with your blessing of that man when there is a chance that God is trying to show you another thing about the man not being your man. . . but we will blame the enemy. We are so quick to blame the enemy when it could be God showing us things, closing doors and stopping things from going a way that He knows is not going to work. For example, I was striving to get a promotion for years – it helped add to a failed marriage, distance between my son so much when his dad left – he wanted to be with his dad and not me. Hummmm…..all the layoffs in my company – I would have been laid off. Yes sometimes I think that would be a blessing – to be laid off but God says it is not because I just seem to keep being here at work, yet God has other plans… Yet we are so quick to blame the enemy for things even job layoffs, marital problems, and things of that are both personal and spiritual . . . sometimes I wonder if we are really in touch with God to know His voice. I just feel like I better line up or get left behind and lost – not that I am lost but man let me be where I need to be because want to do what He wants me to do! Okay I am done for the moment – this work is piling up and Sister Shasta keeps emailing me and distracting me. . . LOL (Just kidding Shasta – working all that stuff off of me talking with you – although you might not email me back after I bashed A Word from God on FB LOL) I feel much better now – enjoy your blessed day!! 02/01/10 – Honesty Today!! 01/31/2010
Praise the Lord! Whew!! It is the beginning of new things and I am thankful to the Lord for all that He is doing in my life. May the Lord continue to be the head of my life and may I live for Him for all eternity. The radio station is up and running now and I am thankful to the Lord for the mighty blessings of Him. I am praying for things to go well there and may the Lord just move us to the place that He wants us to be! Yet I am loving life – I love this walk as hard as it gets at times . . . one thing I am learning is to let it go – truly letting things go and just trusting God! It amazes me how the Lord will do things in our lives – all we have to do is look to the Lord and everything is taken care of. We will have no need to look at anything outside of Him. I am blessed as I look over my life and see the hand of the Lord on my life even when I did not know Him as my savior. I thank God for saving me and changing my life – no more attempts of killing myself, no more attempts to kill others, no more worries over this old body – my focus and joy is in the Lord and for all that He is doing in my life! Praise the Lord for His mighty blessings. I remember being so low and down and my life changing for the better in 2006 for 2005 though I thought I knew the Lord – I was so far from Him and almost ended it all. It is amazing how God will bring you out of your own mess and your own mindset…but you have to focus on Jesus and only Jesus! It is Jesus that makes the difference in our lives…. THANK YOU LORD FOR SAVING ME – FOR CHANGING ME TO LIVE AS YOU WANT ME TO LIVE – BLESS THE NAME OF JESUS FOR ALL ETERNITY! No matter what is going on in your life – if you take the focus from you and place it on Jesus by praising Him – calling on Him and just standing in His word – you will see that a change will come – praise the Lord for His mighty power!! Thank you Jesus! Enjoy your day in the Lord and know that Jesus is keeping us this day!! |
