HOPE

HOPE
Giving up is the "easy way" out.
Are you giving up on what you want, your goals, & your desires you want for your life?
God told us without HOPE we become sick....
Therefore we become "weak".
This is not what God has designed for us in life. He wants us to have faith, HOPE, & love. He wants us to keep the faith for better days ahead. He has a great plan for our lives but we can't GIVE UP!

Some people say...."There's no use", "My life is over", "Everything bad happens to me"....Well if you keep talking like that....guess what ? You will stay STUCK where you at in life. Because you have NO HOPE.

HOPE : expects good to come with confidence.
Yes, you may have to ASK GOD for help.
Yes, you may have to do something you don't like doing.
Yes, you may have to hold on longer than you would like.
Yes, you may have to change some things you have been doing.
But HOLD onto HOPE Expect good to come!

Don't grow weary in doing good for in due season, YOU shall reap a harvest if you don't give up!!! - Gal. 6:9

Prayer today: Godfather, Here I am about to GIVE UP. I ask you to restore HOPE in me for better days ahead. I ask you for your help in what I am dealing with. I want to do what you would have me to do to see better days. I expect, I expect, I expect to reap a harvest. My day is coming. Therefore HOPE today is my answer for a better tomorrow. Thank you God for all your answers your giving me. I will try and be patient in HOPE. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen

SHINE ALL THE MORE

How true is that ?
What we LET continue WILL continue....
If we LET people steal our JOY they will.
If we LET people steal our HAPPY they will.
If we LET them steal our SPARLE for life they will.
God tells us to LET our LIGHT SO SHINE. 

 That one little word LET is the key to keeping your joy, your happy, and your sparkle for life. We have to LET our light so SHINE no matter what others do or say about us. We have to continue living no matter what was done wrong to us. satan is a artist at sitting us up to upset us by stealing something from us. If he can get us to feel UNEASY or UPSET. He moves in to steal from us. IF he can steal OUR HAPPY. OUR JOY, & OUR SPARLE. He has got us. But the cure to defeating him at his game is to LET OUR LIGHT SO SHINE SO BRIGHT he has to flee from us. What we allow will continue. We just have to decide what we going to allow. 
 

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE before men, ....Matt. 5:16

Prayer today : Thank you Lord for showing me that I need to LET my LIGHT SHINE ON no matter what has happen to me. I cannot allow people to steal my joy, my happy or my sparkle for life. You have great plans for my life and I cannot sit around wishing these things didn't happen to me. I have to get up and decide that I am going SHINE all the MORE brighter for you this day and every day. I have a lot to be thankful for and to shine for. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen

MY STRONGHOLD

The Lord is good , a STRONGHOLD when trouble comes.....Nahum 1:7
I am so grateful that God is the STRONGHOLD of my life. ...

                                                                       My ROCK!
                                                                       My SALVATION!
                                                                      My DELIVER!
                                                                      My REFUGE!
                                                                      My SHIELD!
                                                                      My FORTRESS!
                                                                      My STRENGTH!
                                                                      My SECURITY!
                                                                      My SURVIVIAL!
                                                                      My PROTECTION!
                                                                      My LIGHT of MY LIFE!

If GOD is all that ? WHO should we fear ? WHAT shall we be afraid of ?

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.- Psalm 9:9

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom should I fear ? The LORD is my STRONGHOLD of my life; of whom shall I be afraid ? -Psalm 27:1

Walk by Faith

Do we really walk by Faith or is it Fear we walk in all the time ?

Walk by faith, not by sight. 1 Cor. 5:7

I don't know about you but I think I like the idea of Walking by Faith better.
So many times I have let fear take over my life. God didn't give us a spirit of fear but of power and love and sound mind. 2 Tim. 1:7

We let fear get the best of us.
When we should let faith get the best of us.
We are to have faith as a child.
A child believes, they believe anything is possible.
So why not ask for it. Nothing is to big for God and there is nothing impossible for God. If God wants us to have it...He will get it to us.

Mark 10:15
 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.

A child believes the best in everything.
They see the good in everything.
A child is quick to tell you that everything is going to be okay. To not to worry.

Why can't we Walk by Faith ?
We need to train our hearts, our minds, and our mouths to WALK by FAITH.

Sometimes we may have to remove the negative far from us.
Sometimes the negative may be people that we surround ourselves with.
Sometimes we need to start speaking only good and put a STOP to our negative words.
Change our negative mindsets...to positive mindsets.

ASK God to increase our faith. Because he will.
Walking is taking one step at a time forward.

Walking by Faith is easier than Walking by Fear.
It is so simple where Fear is so complicated.
I think I am going to start taking a different road in life and
WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.

ONLY BELIEVE

ONLY BELIEVE
You have got to BELIEVE that the BEST is YET to come!!
Faith is believing in what you do not see but you know it is there.
Believing isn't always seeing. But GOD tells us that we must walk by FAITH not by sight. Not FEAR! When you FEAR you are believing for the worse to come.
But we want to BELIEVE that the BEST is YET to come!!!

...

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.- Hebrews 11:1


What your believing for just hasn't happened YET. So keep believing for good things to come. Keep believing that GOD has everything under control. Keep the FAITH not the FEAR.
Prayer today: GOD I BELIEVE the BEST is YET to COME! I am walking by faith not my sight today. You told me in your word if I believe, all things are possible to me. I believe that you have everything under control and you know where everyone is in their life right now. Your my redeemer, my stronghold, my strength. There is nothing impossible for you to do. All you ask me to do is pray and BELIEVE! In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen

TOUGH LOVE for OUR GOOD

I believe that God shows his children "TOUGH LOVE" sometimes.
He doesn't always give us what we want.
He doesn't always give into our pity party so we will feel better....
He doesn't always tell us what we want to hear.
He doesn't always enable us to do what is bad for us.
NO, when needs be. He shows us "TOUGH LOVE" for our good.

Because sometimes we as children of God we do not respond to
his tap our shoulders. We like to indulge in sin, go our own way, and be stubborn sometimes. He doesn't give us what we always want. He gives us what is good for us. He wants his children to be walking the straight and narrow, not the wide road that leads to destruction. HE is a GOOD PARENT for he disciplines us no matter what our age is. We are his children forever.

The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. - Hebrews 12:6

Prayer today: God, Help me to be more like you. To know when to show loving grace but know when to show "touch love" for my children's good. My desire is to be a good parent just like you. Thank you for showing me "tough love" when I needed it.
And not giving into my every whim. For showing me right from wrong. Because there is no gray with you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

YOU CAN DO IT!
Have you ever felt like.... you get no breaks in life?
Have you ever felt like..... life just keeps knocking you down?
Have you ever wondered if life was even worth living ?
Have you ever wondered where the fun is in life ? ...

Yup, I think we all have been there at least once in our life.
We just want to GIVE UP and quit trying. But we can't.
We have to be determined to get back up and to live life no matter how
many times you have been knocked down. No matter how many times you have felt like you were wronged in this world. God wants us to pick ourselves up so he can help us. But it is "we" who has to decide I am not going to stay where I am at in life and I am not going to "let others" pull me down. God is on my side and he is going to help me. Decide today that you want God's help. Be determined to change
for the better. For YOU- not no one else. Just for YOU !!I like this scripture in Ruth. She was one determined woman after losing all she had to move on in life. She was determined to pick herself up and move on. When she had all the reasons in the world to give up.

Ruth 1:16-18
But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

Sometime people just have to see your determination. Show it to them!
I believe God's favor will follow your determination. Just like it did Ruth.
Prayer today : Lord, I am determined to change. I am not going to let others put me down, drag me down or talk me down. I want to change in my life for me. I want to change me. I need your help God. I need lots of help. I am determined to do what I have to do one step at time. I know that it may take time to change what I want to change but I know you will help me. I NEED your help GOD each and every day. I am DETERMINED to CHANGE my mindset and my life. Amen

WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT

God made us all different for a reason.
He gave us all different gifts & talents.
There is no two people the same on this earth...
He has different jobs that needs to be done here on this earth. Yes, your gift may be the same as someone else's but it is still different because you do it different than what they do it. Yes, there is lots of doctors and nurses but there are different kinds of doctors and nurses. Everyone has their own unique style and way of doing things. That doesn't mean it is the wrong way of doing things. Just means that is the way God called them do it. No one is the same.

My point is,.....
Don't ever put yourself down because you don't do something like someone else. You may bare the same gift but God called you to use your gift in a special way according to the grace he has given you to do it. You don't have to be like everyone else. There is a reason you use your gift in a different way. Different gifts reach different people. Remember you matter and your gift God gave you matters. Use it your way. The way you were called to do it. Dare to be different !!

                    We all have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. -Romans 12:6
Prayer today: Thank you God for this day. Thank you for the gifts you have given me. Help me to remember my way of doing things may not be like someone else's way of doing things. You have called me to be me and to use my gifts the way that you see fit for me to use them. Everyone has a gift or talent. Help me not be scared to use the gifts you have given me and not worry what others may think of me. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen

DO WHAT YOU CAN

There is really some things in life you just cannot do something about. No matter how hard you try. There is going to be things, problems, bills..., & relationships in our lives that we just have to turn over to GOD.
Your going to have to do what you CAN DO but what you can't you need to ASK GOD for help. His right there by your side. Fear will eat you up from worrying about something you can't fix. Let GOD fix it or tell you how to fix it. But there is no need in worrying about what might happen. What can really happen ? Things just might get better and God just might show you a little favor. Ya think ? So what are you worrying about ? REALLY!

                  The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do to me?- Psalm 118:6

Prayer today: Godfather you know my needs before I ask. But you also tell me in your word that I have not because I ask not. I ask this day that you will take what I can do nothing about and fix it for me or show me how to fix it. I cast my problems, my bills, my broken relationships, and my worries to you today. What can man really do to me ? Nothing that I won't keep living for you. Life isn't about things anyways. I thank you for this day and thank you that I know deep inside things can only get better if I trust in you.- Amen

STAY STRONG!

Give yourself some credit.
Don't be so hard on yourself
Look how far you have come. ...
Keep trying and don't give up.
You have God right beside you.
Remember this...
That you CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus that gives you strength.
Believe in yourself!
Your stronger than what you think.

Sometimes we want to just want give up on life. Give up on losing weight. Give up being healthy. Give up on trying to be a nice person. But God tells us not to grow weary in doing good for in DUE SEASON we shall reap if we don't lose heart.
Something worth having doesn't always come easy. Just think how proud you will feel when that DUE SEASON comes. Let the weak say I am strong and don't give up yourself!

For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Cor. 12:10

Prayer today: Godfather Thank you for standing by my side and holding me up when I am weak and want give up! Strengthen me this day and help me to see that I am stronger than what I think. Help me not to give up and hold up for my blessing I know is just around the corner. I am going to stay calm and stay strong with your help. You told me in your word that when I am weak to say that I AM STRONG. I believe I can do this for myself and I can STAY STRONG! In Jesus' Name - Amen

Little Things First

We want GOD to bless us big!
We want so much but can't even trust GOD for the little things. ...
We forget that it is through those little things that GOD
will bless us with the BIG THINGS.
Maybe we need to start believing GOD for the little things first.

                                                          Everyone wants the BIG first.
                                         No one wants to mess with the little things in life.
                                                         A penny can make a dollar.
                                                         A egg can make a cake.
                                                         A seed can grow a tree.
                                                         A board can build a house.
                                                         A minute can make a hour.
                                                         A moment can make a memory.
                                                         A little faith can move mountains.
                                                     Why not believe God for the little things ?

                Whoever can be trusted with VERY LITTLE, can be trusted with MUCH.-Luke 16:10

Prayer today: Thank you God for this day. Thank you for showing me that I need to trust you with the little things in my life. Forgive me for always praying for the big things to happen but forget about the little things. Teach me to believe for the little things in my life. For these little things can make big things happen. I tend to forget that you work through little things, little blessings, & little beginnings. Increase my faith LORD and help me to know that you are God over all things in my life and you care about the little things in my life. In Jesus' Name - Amen

TRUSTING GOD

Those who know your name that trust in you, for you, Lord have never forsaken who seek you. -
                                                                             Psalm 9:10

Do we REALLY TRUST GOD ? 
Do we REALLY TRUST HIM 100 % ?

 I think GOD wants us to FULLY TRUST HIM. ALL the time, in everything, with everything, through everything, good times and bad. Fully trusting God is giving it all to him to take care of. You can't say you TRUST HIM then go around speaking about your problem to others. Speaking doubt and unbelief.
You have to trust GOD with everything.
When God is saying..."When the wind is blowing take my hand and TRUST ME." Go to God and seek him for the answers you need. Sometimes we put more TRUST in people than we do in GOD. Because we are so quick to run to others and complain. When we need to run to GOD and pray.

Prayer today: GOD,  I want to trust you 100%. I cast my cares to you this day. I want to remember that when the wind is blowing, when life is rough, when things are not going so well that I can reach up and grab your hand and pray to you. You are always there for me. Help me to walk by faith not by sight. Help me NOT to run to people with my problems but run to you with them. I LOVE YOU with all my heart and want to rely on you fully. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

WHY NOT TODAY ?

It isn't how many times you fall down that counts.
It is how many times you get back up and try again.
Thank goodness for NEW DAYS where we all have a chance to RENEW and RESTART our lives. To try one more time. To try one more day to get where we are going in life. Thank goodness that GOD is there to help RESTART our engines and go again. To be the best person we can be. Thank goodness for forgiveness for our sins. A chance to swipe our slates clean & start again! Why not today ? Why not you ?There is not one person on this planet earth that is perfect. If they think they are they are only kidding themselves. Let your frustrations go and begin again. It's okay---- It's all up to you You can't go back and change not one thing that has already happened. But you can change today...change what you do this day.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and RENEW a steadfast spirit within me. -
Psalm 51:10

Prayer today: God create in me a clean pure heart. RENEW me this day to have a steadfast spirit in me. To help me to START AGAIN with this new day you have set before me. You are there always to help me back up. To climb the mountain you have set before me. Forgive me and help me to move on. RESTART my engine Lord. I ask you for your help each step of the way. I step out in faith this day to start again with a NEW vision for myself. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen

BE THE BETTER PERSON!

 Don't walk around bitter because things are not going the way you thought they should go. Go into STRICT TRAINING for yourself. BE BETTER today than you were yesterday!! Don't let people bring you down. You keep doing what you know your suppose to do to get to the finish line in life.
LOVE yourself, BE GOOD to yourself, even if no one else is. It depends on what you do whether you win or lose. Not what everyone else does. Your life isn't worth the bitt...erness or the upset. It will eat you alive if you dwell on it long enough.

GOD will supply your needs. GOD is there to help you be the better person. Walk away knowing that GOD is there by your side. Helping you with ALL you lay your hands TO DO. Plant your seed, water your seed, watch it grow, bake your bread even if no one helps. In the end you will receive the reward. BE BETTER not BITTER.

God gave me this dream about the being BETTER not BITTER...Got up thinking about the Little Red Hen how no one helped her but she didn't become bitter she became better and in the end...she ate her bread without any help. She didn't need them....she did it herself for herself.....That's me today....The Little RED HEN that could and she did.


Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training, They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we DO IT to get a crown that will last forever. -1 Cor. 9:25

Prayer today: GOD make me be a BETTER person. Remove all bitterness from me. I don't want to be a bitter person, but a BETTER person. I want to live my life being free and happy with what I do and not worrying what OTHERS may and may not do. I am not going to let the devil steal my joy because of it. I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength to become the person you want me to be. Yesterday is gone but today is here and I will keep on keeping on and become better and better each day...not bitter and bitter each day. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.

RUN in SUCH a WAY

There comes a time in life that you have to figure out things for yourself.
Not all people will be running the same race in life that you are. Nor will they understand the race your running for yourself. There comes a time that you have to run your own race and keep your eyes focused on the finish line just up ahead. You cannot let "others" hold you back. You must get up and do something for yourself or you will never reach that finish line. It may take you awhile and "others..." may not even understand. But you have to THROW OFF everything that may hinder you. You have to run your race with ENDURANCE and in SUCH A WAY that you are determine to win at this race called life.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1

Prayer today: God, HELP ME RUN IN A WAY that is pleasing to you. Help me keep my eyes focused just ahead and not letting "others" hold me back. Help me to trust you and you only God with my whole heart. I want to run with endurance and I want to run towards the finish line with you. Amen

THE WAY MAKER

GOD is the WAY MAKER.
Where you see no way.
GOD CAN MAKE A WAY!
GOD is ABLE to DO MORE than we could ever ask or think.

 

                                                      Behold, I will do a new thing,
                                                      Now it shall spring forth;
                                                      Shall you not know it?
                                                      I will even make a road in the wilderness
                                                     And rivers in the desert.- Isaiah 43:19

                                             HE CAN even MAKE ROADS where there is none.
                                       I don't know about your but I think that is pretty awesome!


Prayer today: Thank you God for his day. Thank you for the blessings that you have brought our way. You know our needs before we even ask. You have shown me before that we can never out give you. But we are to be obedient and still give and trust that you will provide for us. Because our ways are not your ways. Thank you for showing me this. I have to trust you fully and have faith that you will provide. You always show up and show off for us. I Thank you for this...your timing is always JUST RIGHT and RIGHT ON TIME! ALWAYS- Amen

GOD CARES

I am so thankful that I have God with me 24-7. He is one person I can count on to never leave me nor forsake me. He helps me through the storms in my life. When the wind blows hard and the rain is pouring down he is there with me to help me see the sun shine again.


 He sees my pain, my hurt and my tears. He heals my broken heart when it has been wounded or let down. I am so thankful for HIM! He helps me to keep the faith, keep going, and helps me see that there is more to life than what I am seeing.

                                                              “Never will I leave you;
                                                             never will I forsake you.”- Hebrews 13:5

Prayer today: Thank you God for being there with me. Thank you for picking me up when I have been let down. Thank you for never leaving me nor forsaking me. Increase my faith this day I pray. Help me to see the sun shine again...knowing that this to will pass. Storms never last forever...something I do know because you have help me through so many. You understand me like no one else. I must walk by faith and not by sight. In Jesus' name I pray- Amen

Desire Good

No matter what!! CLING to the GOOD!
There is always something GOOD in every day.
Sometimes we have to look for the good but I do believe if we look hard enough we will find good. It seems these days people focus on the bad in life never the good. I wonder what would happen if people would focus on the good more than the bad. God's Word tells us to overcome evil by doing good. Could we just squeeze the bad out of our lives by turning our focus on the good more than the bad ?... I think so We are to CLING to the GOOD. Cling means to get as close to as you possibly can. Get attached to get. Get stuck to it...like a fabric softer stuck to clothes. That is pretty close.

At the end of each day...write down the good and write down the bad. I think the good would outweigh the bad. GOOD is good for us. Bad is bad for us. How come people can't get this ?

                                                            Cling to the good. Romans 12:9

Prayer today: God, Thank you for this day. I come to you today and ask you to help me to CLING to the GOOD. When I start to focus on the bad today...help me see good. Show me the good in my life and in others. I want my focus to be on what is good. I want to squeeze the bad out of my life and cling to the good you have for me. You said a good man would obtain favor from you. Favor is a good thing Life is a good thing. Thank you God for being so good to me. Amen.

The Next Chapter

Let the OLD GO and the NEW IN!
GOD has great plans for you, but you have to let go of your past.
Let go of all your hurts, wounds, failures, guilt, and pain. It is weighing you down.
How can you start the next chapter in your life with all that extra baggage laying around ? You can't. You have got to let the OLD GO to welcome the NEW IN.

GOD is pointing you in a new direction for your life. Quit wishing your life away. The past is the past you can't go back. But you can't go forward either if you keep holding onto all that extra baggage. You can wish all day long that things could have been different or that you could have done something different. But it is done. Forgive yourself as well as others and move on. Time to start the NEXT CHAPTER in your life! GOD is waiting on you to turn the page. Are you ready ? He has great plans for you!

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.has plans for YOU!- Jeremiah 29:11


Prayer today : God, I Thank you for this day and all you have done for me. But I know you are showing me it is time to move on and start the next chapter in my life. It is time to forgive and be forgiven. Time to let go of all that extra baggage I have laying around. I step into the new today with you and I am excited about the next chapter in my life. I know you have great plans for me. I can't wait to see it all. I am ready to move on. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

MORE than a Conqueror

STOP feeling sorry for yourself!
And do something about it!
QUIT being the victim and be the victor!
YOU are MORE than a conqueror through HIM who loves you!

Did you know that when you are sitting around feeling sorry for yourself all your doing is feeding your negative emotions even more? Did you know that when you stop feeling sorry for yourself you will accomplish more than you ever thought you could? Did you know that God didn't make quitters ? He made go-getters. Go after what you want in life. You have to say enough is enough.
 Throw away your wish-bone and get a back-bone. You can do whatever you set your mind to do.

                                                                          Romans 8:37
                    In all these things we are MORE than conquerors through him who loved us.


Prayer today: God, I Thank you for this day. I Thank you for helping me in getting this far in life. I need you everyday of my life. I am MORE than conqueror through your son Jesus. I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath. I am blessed coming in and going out. I CAN do more than I have ever thought I could. You told me in your word you would bless all that lay my hands to do. Help me this day to get out of this pity party and quit feeling sorry for myself and know that you know where I am in life. That I can overcome, I can do this, I can do anything I set my mind to do with your help. I am victor not a victim. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

SPEAK BLESSINGS

STOP SPEAKING BAD ABOUT YOUR FAMILY!!
ABOUT your kids or your spouse at that.
START SPEAKING BLESSINGS OVER YOUR FAMILY!!
No matter what- we need to SPEAK BLESSINGS over our children.
Even if they have done something bad or something we disagree with. ...
Don't give glory to the bad but the good. Speak blessings over them.
Do not go around focusing on the bad they do. Focus on the good they do. 

 Speak life into their world by speaking blessings over them daily.

I heard a preacher say once...What we speak comes to life whether good or bad.
I desire blessings for my children and my spouse don't you ? YES !!
So we need to learn to SPEAK BLESSINGS about them!!!
If you hear someone else speaking bad about your children or your spouse.
STOP THEM and TELL THEM you don't want to hear it. That you believe they will be blessed in whatever they lay their hands to do. Because when you are listening to them speak bad about your family you are sitting there agreeing with them. Agree with GOD that your family will be blessed and prosper in all they do.

The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” - Numbers 6:24-26
This is my prayer over my family today...Each and everyone of them! NO MATTER WHAT everyone deserves to be blessed...blessings change people's lives don't you think ?

Prayer today: God, I ask you to forgive me for ever speaking bad about my children or my spouse. I pray that you help me to SPEAK BLESSINGS over them from this day forward and give me the courage to STOP anyone who speaks bad about them. I know that your desire is to bless me and my family. God, help me to speak LIFE WORDS about my family and speak life into their life. You also told us in your word that there is life and death in power of the tongue. I want to speak life not death. I pray you bless my family in abundance from this day forward. Amen
 

A Desire to Slow Down

We rush, we speed, we run, we stress, we have no time anymore because everyone is in a hurry to go here and there.
We never stop, we think that everything has to be done right now.
We can't even ENJOY LIFE because we are moving at such a high rate of speed that we can't SLOW DOWN. Then we wonder why God puts speed bumps in our road called life. To SLOW us down a bet so we will stop and listen to him.

Things can become such a blur in life because we are moving so fast. NO time... for nothing. We need to slow down so things can become clearer to us, more focused.

                                                  We need to SLOW DOWN & ENJOY LIFE !
                                                                 Enjoy life more abundantly

The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Prayer today: God, Help me today to slow down and know that you have everything under control. When things get done they will get done. Help me to slow down and enjoy life and people around me. I know life doesn't have to be a rush. Your son was never in rush when it came to helping others. He would always take the time to stop,listen and enjoy life. Help me keep a clear head and focus on the good things in life today. If I start going over the speed limit in life slow me down. I don't want to be in such a rush that I miss something you are trying to show me. Amen
 

I Desire Amazing Things in My Life

AMAZING: Got up this morning and this word just kept playing over and over in my head.

 

 

 

Expect nothing but amazing things in your life. Expect it and look for it. Your life is more amazing than what you think it is. Yes, bad things happen all around us day in and day out. But we as Christians we need to see the AMAZING things in life and quit looking and focusing on all the bad. God can do some amazing things in our lives if we want him too or not.

I don't know about you but ...I want AMAZING things to happen in my life, I want to see AMAZING things in my life. Like the sky outside this morning looked so AMAZING. I just set there in my car in awe of it all.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.- James 1:17

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8

What makes us think that if God/ Jesus did miracles and amazing things in the bible that it can't happen today ? I don't know about you but I am going to start looking and expecting AMAZING things in my life. Something about that word I just love! AMAZING


Prayer today: God, Thank you for the amazing sky this morning. Just at the right moment you put that piece of art in the sky just for me to see. I expect nothing but good and amazing things to happen today because every good and perfect gift comes from you. Your amazing love for me and I can't forget about your amazing grace for me too. I want to always be able to stand in awe of your gifts for me. Thank you for giving me this word today...I needed it. It is just like you God to be so amazing. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen


This is what our sky looked like outside my home this morning when I wen to take my little granddaughter to school. After God gave me this word this morning. He let me see something amazing. His art work in the sky....I was in awe....at how amazing this looked. PERFECT is HIS AMAZING LOVE.

 

A Renewed Desire

It is never to late to start again. Don't let people tell you that it is to late.Your never to old either. Yes, we all fall down. But what counts is that you get back up and try again.

 If you keep trying  you will one day GET IT ! God tells us in his word for us to ASK, SEEK, & KNOCK. If we keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking. The answer will come to us that we are looking for . What clicks with us and what will help us. God will send it our way. The key is we... CANNOT GIVE UP! GIVING UP is not an option for us. Get up each day and say to yourself....I CAN DO THIS with GOD's help. I am not GIVING UP!!!

GET UP, LOOK UP, DRESS UP, MAKE UP your MIND that YOU are going to DO THIS.

Don't grow worry in doing good for in due season you will reap a harvest if you do not lose heart. Gal. 6:9


Prayer today: God, I come to you today asking that you help me get through each day. That you renew my mind in areas that it needs to be renewed. Help me know that I know that I CAN do anything that I set my mind to do. That you will give me the answers for my health and strength in each day. I can do all things through your son Christ Jesus who gives me strength. Help me to put one foot forward and guide my steps in the direction I am suppose to go each day. Thank you God for what you have already done for me. I give you the praise. In Jesus' Name Amen
