The Unique View

I appreciate the silence of the early mornings. No television, no noise accept for the occasional car driving past, the slight hum of the refrigerator I value silence. Watching the sun rise taking in all that God has done. Silence. Peace. With working in a call center, the duties are rewarding but the constant chatter that goes on can be enough to cause one to stand on top of their desk and shout, SHUT UP WILL YOU!! Now that would not be a nice thing to do though I could see myself doing just that, in my Daffy Duck voice. I often wonder why it is hard for many to sit still, be silent and just hear, nothing. Or, hear the sound of their own heart beat. Hear the sound of the blood running through their veins. Now I know that is not possible but, what if. I love the morning time because this is my time to pull it all together and ask God that one question, what today Lord? It is my time to sit and offer the Lord my requests, forgive me and restore me. It is also a time for me t...

Winds blow, trees wave and the ground shakes all in an effort to get you to pay attention to God's purpose. Are you listening?

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 d...

Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.  Psalm 23:4 This is the time of the year where millions will be planning and preparing, decorating and singing and spending unnecessarily. Most are full of hope and joy. But there are millions more who are in despair. No family or friends. No home to call their own. No food to fill their bodies and no covering from the elements. I am reminded everyday just how close we all are from living a life poverty. Millions around the world are in a fight and its not the good fight but, the fight for life. Its not the fight to protect and honor instead a fight to live one more day or not. Though many are employed, have health insurance, have roofs over their heads, cars to drive, food to eat. There millions more who do not. Millions awake tormented by there...

Jesus told the people, "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean'" Mark 7:15, 21-23 Are you clean? Are you a child of God struggling with these sins. Be of good courage you are not alone. Society today has caused many including Gods children to loose hope, peace and most of all strength and faith. I have been in the pool of some of these same sins but I praise God that He is a forgiving God and I can bow down and humble myself, repent and ask for forgiveness knowing that the sin is remembered no more and I can turn away. That is God. No where in the word of God does it say you will not suffer but on the contrary it does say, you will suffer, for My sake. And in that suffering we have a choice. A choice to believe ...

My thought for today: If you want quality you must be quality. Many of us expect so much but only give so little. We seek love but we put conditions on it. We want more money but refuse to put in the hours required and complain when millions do not have employment. We admire things but fail to see there is a cause and effect to having things. Never expect from another what you are not willing to give and if you try to beat the system of life, karma is real and you will no doubt pay for it somewhere in your life's walk. Nothing that happens in your life is by chance, its allowed by God. Change your thinking, change your mind. Feed your thoughts with positiveness. Your eye-gate is the door to growth or destruction meaning, what you choose to see can either bring you growth or cause destruction not only for you but for those around you. One of my favorite quotes from back in college is this, “Determination rules out doubt theory can not solve” penned by an unknown. I wake up det...

Over the past few months, I have been up and down. In a month I will be 50 and also feeling the loss of my big sister Leslie who would have also celebrated her birthday 3 days after mine.  I have removed people from my life that held no purpose, drama of any kind is not my strong suit.  I have to say that my testimony is one of courage and strength.  I love solitude to a degree that if you gave me a choice to hang with my sisters or stay home alone, I choose home alone.  AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Love it.  Not because of any particular reason, just that I like me wait, I love me and my company.  Its my time to detox from a busy work week, voices, conversations, lunch room hellos, impatient drivers and stop lights.  Being an introvert, I have no need to be in the mix however, I am humble enough to do what God says do when it comes to others because it's not about me.   So today, I am not at my much loved church.  I am praisin...
