Today I feel Sad

Today I feel sad... I don't know if it is the rain.  It is so cold and gloomy outside.  I think time is passing to quick.  One day we are celebrating Thanksgiving and now Christmas is around to corner.
But everyday I thank God for what he has given me. I know others have less than me and are happy with the little they have.

I need to see things in a new way and get out of this funk....

LABELING PEOPLE SO DANGEROUS

"LABELING"- An item used to identify something or someone.

Labeling people can be so dangerous.  Labeling limits YOU and the person your are labeling or putting in a box.  It has paralyzing effect on you as well as others. We always assume that our way is right way and hang out with people that are like us.  If we befriend or invest in others we might experience new ways of thinking.  Then there is the question of Love:


Jesus said:
³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ³⁵ By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34-35 (NKJV)


Are you demonstrating Jesus love to that person who you thinks they are better than you?  Who you shame, demean and make you feel worthless.  Remember that God is Love and if  he lives inside of us.  We have to demonstrate that Love. 

Words of Wisdom:  Allow Jesus's love to shine in you and so that others you meet will encounter that love.
       
 




 

GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU...

GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU...

     Many of us we view God as a deity that is going to be mad at us for our doing and undoing.  How many times in your life you have heard,  "Watch out God is going to get you."  Many times I am sure from many sources.  But in actuality, God is a loving being who loves you and takes delight when you reach out to him just to thank him, praise him or worship him. This can change your whole perspective of your relationship with God.

    ⁹ “Just as I swore in the time of Noah that I would never again let a flood cover the earth,
       so now I swear that I will never again be angry and punish you.¹⁰ For the mountains may move
       and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
       My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
                                                                                                            Isaiah 54:9-10 (NLT)

God has made a covenant with us to no longer punish us or be angry with us.  ( He will rebuke us but he will never cast us aside). His love is Faithful and ever lasting.  His grace and mercy is abundant.
Just remember that God loves you and wants you to have a relationship with him.

WORDS OF WISDOMS:  God is slow to anger and  he is swift to show mercy.

PRAYERS CHANGES THINGS

Prayer changes things...

It has always been hard for me to pray.  I was raised in a very legalistic church and I was force to pray. I never really understood that this was a way to develop a relationship with God.  So I did not like to pray and at times I still struggle. 

But the Bible says, "Rejoice always,   pray without ceasing" 1 Thess 5:16. That means to pray always- in the car, at home, at work, in front of mirror, in the bathroom and everywhere you go.  A prayer does not have to be elaborate. It can be just saying "Help me God or Thank You God."

In prayer will develop a relationship/ an intimacy with God. Jesus loves us and wants to hear from us. Even if you think your prayer is weak- Jesus hears you.  Be confident that he hears you.  The Bible says in 1 Jn 5:14-15, "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.   And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."  He hears us that is an Awesome thing and he is waiting to hear from us.

Words of Wisdom:  Pray to God with confidence and boldness and know that he is hearing you.

So Much Has Change !!!

In September of 2015, I decided to go back to church.  It has been a wonderful experience.  I don't know how to describe how I feel.  Its like I have found what I been missing for a long time or it found me.  God has been waiting for me with his arms open wide.  "Come, my child."

It has been 6 months since I enter the church doors.  I been living here for 13 years and never felt like I belong since my best friend die 7 years ago of cancer .  The feeling of not belonging got worst. I had isolated myself and did not want to allow anyone in my life.  I really did not feel lonely just felt like I was missing something in my life.  A hole in me.  When I went thru the church doors my spirit told me this is "Home."

Home, found me what a wonderful feeling.  I am no longer alone. God's love has found me. I am surrounded by believers full of love and understanding. I feel like a different person. I am learning so much about myself and absorbing everything like a sponge.

I LOVE, JESUS!!!


WORDS OF WISDOM:  HOME CAN FIND YOU TOO....
                                           

If you ever find yourself in the wrong story

If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, LEAVE. Sometimes we tolerate things in ourselves that we don't tolerate in others.  We don't tolerate others abusing us but we abuse ourselves with our thoughts and actions.  We tell ourselves that we are unworthy and undeserving.  We condemn ourselves.  You have to learn to leave the wrong story and see yourself like God sees you. You are unique individual with special gifts that God has given you.  You can change/leave your wrong story and start I new one.  Just ask Jesus for help and he will help you to begin a  right story.  A story filled with love that is overwhelming.  The only love that comes from God. 

WORDS OF WISDOM:
 There will be a  moment you realize that God has greater plans for you and the wrong story does not manner because God will give you a new wondrous story.

CAN YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT FOR A CHANGE?

Can you do anything right for a change?  I ask that questions to myself everyday.  It like two step forward and eleven back.  I really wish I could change the situation I am in. It always the blaming game . Tag your it.  They are like vampires want to see you undead or dead.  Taking every bit of blood that you have, sucking you dry.  I really don't know what to do just "Trust In God".

Words of Wisdom:  The very thing that was meant to destroy you may be the thing God uses to deliver you. Trust Him to turn it around; and make it work in your favor. When you really embrace the will of God for your life, the enemy’s greatest attack can become faith’s greatest advantage. ( I have to remember this.)

WHEN YOU LOSE DON'T LOSE THE LESSON

When we lose sometimes we don't learn the lesson. It could be right there staring us in the face. But we get bogged down with emotions i.e.. anger, disappointment, sadness.  However, there is always a lesson to be learned.  At times, we lose because it not meant for us to win but for others to win. We need to celebrate others and learn from our mistakes.  A loss is a loss and that is all to it.

Words of Wisdom: Look beyond your loss, Learn the Lesson and remember you can always try again tomorrow.

Be On The Lookout For The Presence Of Wonder

Be On The Lookout For The Presence Of Wonder:

Wonder is all around us.  We have to take a few minutes and look around our surroundings.  We might see someone smiling, a child laughing or a gentle breeze caressing the trees.  Life is wonderful and it can give us so much. 

WORD OF WISDOM:
Be on the Lookout, Don't let life pass you by.

RUNNING IN STILLETOS WHILE TRYING NOT TO FALL

I love red stilettos shoes even though I cannot walk and even run with them. Sometimes, I feel that life is like running in heels. If you ever try to run in heels it is a hard thing to do. You try to balance yourself, try to catch your breathe and  try not to fall.  This is how I feel most of the time.  Just out there in the world "trying".  In any given day, that it what most of us can do is TRY.  It can be very exhausting. Just pray and have faith in God that you can make it.

WORDS OF WISDOM: Try One Second At A Time and Watch Out For Potholes.
