Happy New Year 2013 The Year Of Praise

I had another confirmation. I love it when God does His thang, I love it even more that I stay in His word and listen for Him to speak. I have been really feeling this in my spirit for a long time now. I thought it was me going coo-coo for coe-coe puffs but no, its not me and this is why. The mini message before the main message today was giving by Deacon Harvey and it was called Experiencing The Newness Through Prayer, Praise and Worship. Acts 16:23-26

Praise sends the enemy running. Praise is a declaration of victory. Praise is to command - it's an expression of Humility to God - it's fellowship and intimacy with God. Gods children must increase their praise to God. We must increase our praise to God. Granted we all do not praise God the same way but it is God who knows the heart. Millions upon millions upon millions are facing many circumstances and it is time to stop focusing on those circumstances, stop singing the sad oh whoe is me song, stop ALLOWING the devil to do what he does best, steal, kill and destroy. Stop letting the devil divide you from that which God deems Holy and start praising God for what He has done and will do. If He has delivered you, PRAISE HIM. If He has saved you, PRAISE HIM. If God has made a way where you could not, PRIASE HIM. So many that I know and come into contact with daily in the work that I do are consumed by the adversities, the pain of loss and sadness, the lack and even the government. And It was confirmed for me today that more praise is needed. We need to Praise God in our circumstances. I know God is truly doing a work in me and I shake my head with amazement and joy. Patience has never ever never ever been a strong suit of mine and this is the work God is doing in me, He is saying Patience My child, I am doing a great work. Praise God. Thank you Lord. He is also showing me to really open my eyes to somethings that I really try not to see and to some people knowing that it is He who knows all. Nothing his hidden under the sun.

God is good and if you tried everything and everyone else and nothing has worked, try Jesus, commit to God. He will never fail you. He will never leave you or forsake you. His grace if sufficient.

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life. Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal, and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth, unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle. Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement, physical disability, missing limbs., mental illness. These are all unique. Why do I say unique? Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective...
