HOLIDAYS

April 24,2012


       Holidays, one after the other celebrated once a year, but why only once a year?  These are my thoughts and feelings why we should always celebrate, everyday is a gift from GOD! This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. (PSA 118-24)  

        Christmas, shouldn't we love, give, be merry and celebrate Jesus birthday all year long?  Not just for that day?  The rest of the year are we loving and giving toward each other? Yes you say? Until someone crosses in front of you, or your loved one forgot to stop at the store to pick up bread, or your child has an accident, do we stay calm and loving or do we lose it and let the other person know how wrong they  are and how unfair it all is. I can only answer for myself and I know that no matter how hard I try I do lose it at times!

         Easter do we thank and praise GOD for sending his only son to save us?  We serve an AMAZING GOD and he should be thanked and praised everyday no matter what!!!  Again as hard as we try to do this we do fall short sometimes, But GOD loves us and he will not forsake us.

           Thanksgiving, now here's a wonderful holiday family, friends, good food we are very thankful for all that GOD has supplied for us, and we say so at the dinner table.  The rest of the year are we still thankful or do we complain about everything. Just saying...

             Mother's Day we should celebrate Mom everyday not just once a year, after all she gave us life! (Something she doesn't let you forget easily ).  Father's Day good old dad we love you all the time, not just on that day!

                I think that there is a holiday that everybody would like to celebrate all the time; New Year's Eve who wouldn't like to party all the time!!!!  JUST SAYING............BE BLESSED!

MUST SEE MOVIES!

April 19, 2012


               FACING THE GIANTS

            Produced in 2006 by Sherwood Baptist Church of Albany Georgia.

        I recently had the fortune to see this movie (thank you Bobbi).  It is an inspirational movie for the whole family it touched the life of many including mine!  I will not tell you anything about the plot, because I want you to see it and experience the full affect.  Everyday everyone of us faces some kind of giant in our life and we feel fear, but we have to fight back the fear with GOD's Word "For GOD did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind. (2TIM 1-7)  When we face a giant we have to speak the Word to it and watch it became a speck of sand.  Let the peace of GOD enter our hearts!




          Praise GOD no matter what and keep the faith that under GOD's guidance nothing is impossible!
                     
                      The Lord is my Rock and my fortress and my deliver. (2SAM 22-2)

                      The Lord lives!  Blessed be my Rock!  Let GOD be exalted the Rock 
                      of my salvation. (2SAM 22-47)

          The other movie is Fireproof a must see for all couples.  We all know how hard it is to be in a relationship we as humans are not perfect.  Invite GOD into your relationship and he will guide you in all your steps!  BE BLESSED!!!

CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE!

April 17, 2012



       Watching my grandson Mario practicing his Karate movements leads me to see the sweet innocence of youth so trusting and so eager to learn.  Their energy and capacity for learning and playing is unlimited.  They are not afraid to follow, so that someday they can be leaders!  Children are like bumble bees: they don't know that their wings are too small for them to fly: so they fly!

          Children have a zest for life don't take that away from them by subjecting them to sadness and limitations, keep a positive attitude  and always tell them that they can be anything they desire to be!  The world is open to them and there's nothing they can't accomplish in their lives if they put their mind and heart to it!

                My granddaughter a teenager!  I have watched Keila grow from a baby, to a toddler, to a little girl, and now to a beautiful young lady! I'm very proud of her and what she has accomplished so far.

                  Watching them grow up is a joy in my life that I wouldn't want to miss.  The memories are priceless, the joy is immeasurable!



            Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.  (MAT 18-5)

I KNOW THESE THINGS TO BE TRUE!

April 13, 2012


       GOD never gives us more than we can handle.  What HE gives us makes us stronger and wiser so that we can help the people that come into our life.  We all have a mission in this life, whether we fulfill that mission or not is up to us. 

        GOD always answers our prayers.  At times we don't think HE does because we don't get what we pray for or we don't get it right away, so we try to make it happen on our own, and we all know how that turns out to be.  Understand that sometimes we don't get what we pray for because we're not ready for it or GOD has something better for us.  We just have to wait HIS time is not our time!

                                      For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD,
                                      thoughts of peace and not of evil , to give you a future and a  
                                      hope.  (Jr 29-11)
                
          GOD always forgives our sins.  We accept HIM into our life and ask for forgiveness and we are forgiven.  Sometimes we find it hard to forgive ourselves, or forget the wrong that has been done to us, but if GOD is able to forgive us, how can we not forgive them!

                                      If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our 
                                     sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 Jno 1-9)

             Faith moves mountains and all things became possible!!!  BE BLESSED!

                                      For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed,
                                      you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it
                                      will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. (Mt 17-20)

AFFIRMATIONS

April 13, 2012


       Thoughts are powerful make them work for you not against you!

       Control your mind change your life!

       Put a clear picture of your desires in your mind and heart and go for it!
     
       Believing will show you the way. Trust will get you there.  Faith will open the door!

       As you think so you are!

       Give. Get. Repeat!

       Your dreams come with the power to make them come true!

       Reach for the sky and beyond don't let anything stop you!

       Love, prayer and laughter are GOD's gifts to us!

      Don't worry GOD'S got this.....and more!

      Your smile can make someone's day!

                              Ask and you'll receive

                              Seek and you'll shall find

                              Knock and it will be opened to you   ( Mat 7-7)
   
      Notice the acronym of this bible verse is ASK.  It all starts with our asking GOD for what is in our heart.  The next verse (Mat 7-8) says:" For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."  BE BLESSED!

STARTING A BUSINESS

April 11, 2012


        As I said before I asked GOD for help.  I joined Al-Anon and I got the help that I needed, day by day I felt better about myself.  It was not a fast fix I had to work at it all the time and still do.  One day I was again sitting at my kitchen table (that's where I meet with GOD) and I asked HIM how do I support 4 child
and myself  the job I had was not enough this is the conversation that followed:
                              
                                       GOD: start your own business
                                       ME WHAT!!!
                                       GOD: you can do it
                                       ME: WHAT! HOW!
                                       GOD: you can figure it out

            Well I was very new at this talking to GOD thing and actually getting an answer, so if he said I could do it I had to trust and believe that I could it was not easy but I started to think what could I do!  An idea came to me (now I think it came from GOD) put an ad in the paper for domestic cleaning. I  put an ad in the paper for a month. the first few weeks nothing happened I was getting nervous!  On the last week that my ad was running I got my first call and from then on the calls and referrals started to come in!  My own business was born the money was excellent the schedule was flexible. I was home when my kids got home from school or if they were sick I could change my schedule around.  GOD IS GOOD AND FAITHFUL!  For 15 years the business grew and it allowed me to support my children and be there for them at the same time.  My kids are adults now so I dissolved that business and now I'm into other exciting things which I will talk about in my next blogs!  BE BLESSED!!!
