Are You Justifying Your Unbelief?

Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:18:58 GMT

Stop justifying your own unbelief!

If you are teaching that it's God's will for you to be sick then you are reading a different Bible than mine.

I don't like long posts so I'll try to explain it as quickly as I can.

Just because we don't understand something doesn't mean it's not true. I have to keep things simple so I can get my head around it.

God loves me more than I can comprehend. That being said why would He not want me well? I would do anything within my power to take care of my kids and family. Here's the deal... He has ALL the Power. Now He won't override your will. So you have to believe. That's where Faith comes in. God has done everything He can to provide for you by giving His Son on the cross. So I figure it's like this... Like having an umbrella and you have to chose to use it or not. God won't ever force you. He has given you all the tools you need to be an overcomer in this life. You have to choose to use them!!!

So stop justifying your unbelief by saying if it God's will. His Word is His Will.

Pray and ask God to show you who you are in Him. Just how much He Loves you.

Do you believe God can do anything? Do you believe He will? Here's where the Faith is activated, Do you believe He'll do it for you? Of course He will!!! If you've accepted Jesus as your Savior then you belong to Him. So why in the world wouldn't He be there for you?

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

These are just a few scriptures that prove He wants to provide for you.

I'm not trying to be harsh but read your Bible... Please
Stop making it hard, it's not hard. It's all about choices.

I sure do love you!

Bad Attitude?

Thu, 14 Apr 2016 14:17:30 GMT

I was thinkin ...
Are you struggling to keep a good attitude? Then surround yourself with things that make you happy. I love fresh cut flowers and upbeat music for example. When you feel the cruds coming on counteract them with the happies 😂❤️ If it doesn't work right off keep doing it. Try smiling as big as you can for about 20 seconds. It releases happy endorphins! Give it a try you'll be amazed!!

I sure do love y'all!! BlessingS

All I Need

Tue, 02 Feb 2016 18:37:38 GMT

Valentine's Day is approaching again. I can honestly say it hasn't bothered me much in the past. This year is a lil different for some reason... Not sure what's going on. I've been praying about it. Sometimes I get sad feelings when I'm suppose to pray for someone else.

I'm just gonna say that whether male or female being lonesome stinks. So for my fellow singles out there let's focus on HIM this year. Take our eyes off of us and maybe do something for someone else. Being thoughtful to others always helps me.

So to say I don't have a man in my life wouldn't be true. I have the best One ever. Oooo how I love you Lord.

God is all I need. Everything else is a bonus❤️

BlessingS my precious friends. Heads up and hearts open to His Love❤️ I'm praying for you!

A Squeaky Wheel...

Tue, 20 Oct 2015 12:01:35 GMT

Remember the old saying "The squeaky wheel gets the grease"? Well I'm use to being the one to at least help grease that sucker ... I've read that if you want people to like your page or your music you need to tell about what you've been through or going through. According to my Bible that's not the correct way of handling my affairs. I believe I'm suppose to pray and ask God to help me. Then praise Him till the answer comes. I believe God can cause people to want to help in this mission I'm on without me whining about it. I'm just not gonna be the squeaky wheel ... Do I need your help to go tell the good news about Jesus and sing His praises with my #JesusJams? Yes I Do!! Does God notice your giving into an active ministry? You betcha He does. So if you want to be a part of what we do then we invite you to pray and give financially into this ministry. It takes money to do it. I do this full time. I get prayer request almost everyday on Facebook. Facebook is a tool for me to stay connected to people and share Jesus. I'm gone almost every weekend somewhere ministering. I couldn't be more happy and grateful for that. I LOVE WHAT I DO. I'm just asking y'all not to forget we are out here just because we don't squeak...

I sure do love y'all and thanks for giving to the Lord!!

In A Perfect World

Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:08:14 GMT

In a perfect world you'd graduate from high school go to college get married have a few kids and live happily ever after... Well... It doesn't always happen that way. Sometimes you get married maybe too young have a couple kids get divorced and act like a lunatic for a few years and finally turn to God. Now you have a choice. Either put your mistakes behind you and get better or keep replaying them over and over and get bitter.

If we allow God to work on our behalf we might go on to meet a great man with a couple of great kids and even get along with our ex's. Then we might even realize how God took something so hard and so wrong and made it into something absolutely wonderful. That his kids and your kids are really our kids now. That the mother of his kids and the step mother of your kids are now your good friends... That if all that hadn't happened you might not even know these people or have these babies! Only God can do that!!! Now you look forward to sharing your grand babies together, Wow!!!

Did it happen over night? Absolutely not.. Does it matter as long as it happened? Absolutely not!!

God's very best is to stay and work it out. Do you hear me, stay and work it out if at all possible!!! But if that's not possible...

Decide today to get better not bitter. Ask God to help you and He will. Pretty simple huh? If we'll let it be, it's up to us...

Jeremiah 29:11 is about you!!!

I sure do love y'all

The Wound

Fri, 02 May 2014 15:34:49 GMT

When Jeff got his promotion to heaven it left a deep wound in my heart. Some days I didn't think I'd ever stop crying. It took me about 14 months to really start to catch my breath. As I was praying about it one day I felt like the Lord told me it was like a really deep wound. If you cut yourself really deep it takes a long time to heal. Then you'll get a scab and think its about to heal and you'll knock that scab off and have to start all over. Those kinds of woulds have to heal from the inside out. Most of the time, if they are deep enough, the doctor will want you to keep the scab scrubbed off. Hmmm the thought just came to me that maybe that's what the grieving is for... Anyway as you care for that wound eventually it will begin to fill in, granulate is what the vet calls it. You may always have a scar (memories) but you will heal...

So here's my point... Don't loose hope! Keep on grieving as long as you need to but continue to spend time with the Healer. I've always said it's ok to get down, but it's not ok to stay down.

It's been 5 years since Jeff left. One day the Lord showed me that when you start to laugh at the memories instead of cry then your on your way to being well again. Although never to be forgotten, I will alway miss Jeff and Marti! I have lots of wonderful memories to smile about!!

"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit." Psalms 34:18

With the Lord's help of course I REFUSE TO STAY DOWN!!

Please Read Only If You Can Believe With Me

Wed, 23 Apr 2014 18:41:53 GMT

I've been outside weed eating all morning. I was praising the Lord that I still have water in my tanks and my well. I know that our city of Gordon is getting very low. I felt very impressed to write to all my fellow Gordonites that can believe with me about this situation.

Psalms 138:8 says the Lord will perfect those things that concern me... Well I think that we all agree we are concerned about the water level for the city of Gordon. The Bible also instructs us to ask believing that we have already received our requests. Then it says to thank Him for it until it arrives. So here's what I'm saying to all of you. I know we've been asking but have we been thanking??

So lets get busy THANKING Him and give Him the opportunity to Show Up and Show Out!! Oooo thank you sweet Lord Jesus for the rain that you so freely send to our city and our county. Your priceless gift of Love amazes me. Thank You
Thank You Thank You

BlessingS my friends
