I love it when you play the piano. You play very nice. Its so beautiful. Thank You for playing today.
I always feel so guilty when I dont write on the weekend. Saturday seems to come and go so quickly. Then Sunday morning, early, I think I will sit down and place an entry and then the morning just gets away from me. What must you think of me. I keep the dream alive in my heart. I know that the reality is that I am not always going to be writhing in this journal but I should continue to now, no matter what. I just continue to rely on the words, Love Never Fails. Love Never Fails keeps me going each and every day. I need encouragement and strength each and every day. I worry about you each and every day. You are on my mind every day. Never think that just because I havent placed an entry I am not thinking about you. That is so not true.
When I think about our president I see a man who is pleasing 75% of the population and the other 25% just have to hope that we will get some of the trickle down effect. Hey, does this sound like reganomics 2010 style? I dont see the poor being able to benefit from this president. Lots of talk, very little action. He doesnt want to offend the majority so he will ignore/put off the minority.After all, we have waited this long. We are always so forgiving. Just like the politicians who are playing at the heart strings of blacks just so they can get their vote. Dragging in Harold Washington who has been dead for over twenty years. Pulling up the cemetary scandal so that someone can be blamed. I dont really know which one is worse. I wish I had another candidate altogether to vote for. I'm disgusted with both. pray and fellowship with the Lord.
I have to get ready for the week. Wash my clothes, do my lesson plans and rejuvenate/renew my mind and spirit. Thats why I have to attend church. My chin is breaking out. I think I am having a reaction to my last allergy shot. Forgive Me for digressing. Well, back to the nonsense that seems to take up so much time.
God Bless You. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you. Remember Love Never Fails.

Seek The Lord
Good Morning, good morning, good morning. I can not leave today without something being reflected oupon this morning. I thank God for the guardian angels that are assigned to this place. I pray that we stand victorious over the powers and principalities that threaten us daily. Let my thoughts and my deeds line up with God's desire. Let me be a representation of God today. His thoughts are not my thoughts but let me serve him anyway. May God Bless you today. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you.
Isaiah 55:6-12
6 Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.

Good Morning and God Bless You Today
Father God I come before you humble, wanting to know what can I do. How can I serve you better. How can I do more. Lord show me what to do. Tell me what must be done. Show me the way to please you.
Father God in my prayers to you I ask that you deliver us from evil. Deliver us from the spiritual forces of this world that seek to divide us and to destroy us.
Allow me to take hold of what is keeping me in bondage and to send it to the sea. I want to speak to my mountain. Speak to my mulberry tree. Speak to the obstacle that is blocking me from my blessing.
I plead the blood of the Lamb over my situation. I confess my sins in this situation and pray for forgiveness in all and any area that I have wronged someone or have been wronged. Lord any grievances that I have in this situation I have to let go.
Continue to humble me Lord. Humble me so that I know my role. I am your servant. My heart belongs to you. I give you everything I have. Allow me to give it all to you if necessary to know who is my Master.
I am not perfect and I dont strive for perfection. I strive for obedience to your word and your will.
Nothing is more precious than the love of God. My hearts desire is to please God. I want to do God's will. I pray that I can line up with God's command. May God bless You today. I pray that you are a blessing to someone as you are to me. I love you.

Peace
Father God I thank you that you constantly renew my spirit and my mind. Thank you for continuing to give me a fresh mental and spiritual attitude. I believe in the renewing of my mind and spirit. I pray to be imitators of Christ Jesus. To copy you and to follow your example. I seek to walk in love.
I pray that Satan is rendered helpless in our activities. I pray that we come against the spirit of separation, ill will resentment abuse or any other eveil or vile thing that is not of God. Satan we loose any assignment that you may have over us. We are united as one in spirit and righteousness.
Father God your will is what we desire to do. Your will that we love one another with the God kind of love unites us in peace, harmony and happiness. Thank you for the answer Lord. We are ready to do your will.
What is the value of our work? Lord knows that we have responsibility to our job, but we have a greater responsibility to Our Lord and Savior. We work for man but we glorify God as we work for God. God is a patient listener and he wants to hear what we think. The troubles in our job can be many and we think, how will this benefit us in the grand scheme of things. We are reminded that it was working before us and it will work after us. When I feel helpless in a situation I am reminded that all hope is not lost and that I can speak my fears to God and leave them in his hands. How is it that being a teacher has become such an emotionally challenging job. Lord guide me to say and do the things that represent you today.
Ecclesiastes 3
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.

Facing Difficult and Challenging Place in My Life
Good Morning Father God. Good Morning. Thank you for this morning. I pray that I can find comfort and wisdom in your word today. I pray that I can handle receiving advice from someone I might be suspicious of. Can I follow God's word if it comes from an unlikely source? Will I allow my common sense to sit back and hear the message and not just identify it with the person? Meetings, meetings and more meetings. Test them, prepare them, test them, prepare them. How to prosper anyway, with all the challenges.
Jeremiah 27
Lord I ask for your traveling mercies today and everyday. I pray that you are able to watch over me as I travel today. Lord help me get my mind focused on the things that are of God. I pray to be an example for you today. Allow me to hear your word today even if it comes from an unlikely source. Thank you God for loving me and wanting me to keep trying again and again and again. Never give up, never let go. Walk in faith and know that God is with me.
God Bless You today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Mustard Seed Faith
Father God I thank you for another day. I thank you for not giving up on me Lord. I cannot manage the bad stuff. The problems are deeply rooted and need to be destroyed.
Lord allow me to speak to my problem and make it go away. I curse it at the root. The generational curse that has hindered me. The quality of my faith is important. I have so much more life in me than my problems. Lord help me to identify and speak to my problem.
I dont even want to analyze it or intellectualize it, just get rid of it. Let's do some house cleaning. Just throw it out. I dont need to look at it, or examine it, just throw it out.
Our country is swinging its beliefs again. We now have this sitting Democratic President and the Republicans are gaining strength. Its like a cancer how their negative views can spread so quickly.
Habakkuk 1;2-5
2 How long, O LORD, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not save? 3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.
Lord you didnt change your mind about who you give your call to or who gets your grace. I thank you God for loving me enough to believe in me. What is our relationship with God? What are my expectations of God?What is the quality of my faith? Lord I know that we will always have some strife in our lives but you said you would never leave us nor forsake us. You are with me always. Allow me to take of the burden and the yoke that I have formed in my life from childhood. Allow me to get to the root and to release it. Set it free. Never to pick it up again.
Let my living, true faith come alive so that I can speak to the bad stuff and make it move into the sea. Make sure that it is destroyed forever. I want it gone. I need it to leave. I want it to leave. I have the potential for success.I have the possibility to have a good life. I feel it as a possibility. I know its possible.
Father God I will not stop, quit or give up. I truly believe that Success is Our Only Option.

Humility and Humbleness
Excerpt from "I Have a Dream Speech" Dr. Martin L. King Jr.
...But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?"
We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.
We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.
We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote.
No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations.
Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells.
Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality.
You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive....
I thank God for today and for every blessing in my life. I am blessed to have listened to the entire speech today and to be able to think about the goals that were on the agenda. I am blessed to have been able to listen to someone who was with Dr. King just an hour before he was shot. I am blessed to be able to learn from that experience and to know that so much has been done and that so much still needs to be done. How do I practice humility in this case. I continue to help others and know that I am not alone. Others are willing and able to help and will continue to help. Life is too short to give up hope. Hope springs eternal.
I thank God that we had the humility and the humbleness to follow a man who led us with non violence. This was a man who was able to speak to the hearts of mankind and touch them. Very much like you.
Through his civil disobedience MLK changed the world. Through humility and humbleness we followed him I want to be more humble. Thank You God for showing me what I must do. What do I have to be prideful about? Being of service and being a servant of God is my greatest treasure.
God Bless You today. Be Blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Unity and Harmony
Holy Spirit teach us how to agree about anything and everything so that what we ask will come to pass and be done for us by our Father in Heaven.
Teach us to have confidence in you so that if we ask anything according to Your will You will hear us and since we know that you hear us, whatsoever we ask we know that we have the right to petition you Lord for what we desire of You.
We pray that we will live as members of the Body of Christ. Lord we are sure that you know our needs and our desires. We know that some who would really know us may not love us as you do. You know us and you still love us. You have seen our sins and mistakes and you still love us. Lord you know I cant make it without you. What would I do? How would I do it?
Father God our sins are often too big for us to handle, we turn our life over to you Lord. No one can understand like You Lord. No one can walk in righteousness like you Lord. Father God we thank you for healing us and forgiving us. We strive to be like Jesus Christ but we are not.
We come to you daily with our hearts open and our minds meditating on you Lord. When did we stop acknowledging one another? When did we stop hearing one another? When did we stop talking? How did I let that happen?
Lord the things that I have been negligent with have reared their ugly head again. I know broken pipes, broken furnace, broken toilets are not everything. This just seems to mount up with that building. The tenant from deep down below in h-e-double hockey sticks. Lord I know its not mine but I let it wear heavy on my heart. What do we do Lord, I have no more solutions. I turn it over to you. I am not wise in this situation. Who is wise? Who do I turn to for advice and assistance? Lord guide me.
Father God I call on you to help unite us. Keep us working to become one united in spirit. Loving towards each other. Compassionate and courteous. Tender of heart and humble.
Father God I pray for our welfare, happiness and protection. Lord I pray that we are able to inherit your blessing. I pray that we may be one with you as Jesus is one with you. Jesus is in us and You are in Jesus. I pray that we may become perfectly united and the world will know and recognize Jesus in us.
Father God I pray that your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. God Bless You today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Salvation
Thank You Lord for waking me up this morning. Thank You for giving me the ability to get up, wash and dress myself and have a job to go to where I am able to function in my right mind. Lord I thank you for your blessings.
You have saved me many times and I pray that I will be saved even more in the future. I understand the power of God. I know that God prepares us for things to come. I am learning daily through my encounters with people. God is showing me how to be a witness for his Word.
God is showing me how to relate to different cultures and races. How to keep my mind open and allow my experiences in life and my knowledge of God to bring others together. Father God I pray that my prayers and gifts to the poor come up as a memorial offering before God.
I pray that I am able to continuously serve God. That I can be generous and loving to all people. I pray that I can be a witness for God. God's purpose will become evident in my life. I will strive to carry out God's commandments in my life.
I struggle just trying to be obedient but I will continue to press forward to accomplish God's purpose and goals in my life. I press forward to be a servant.
I pray that God Blesses You today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Improving My Communication Skills
Father God I pray that I am able to communicate much better with the parents of my children. I desire to have a cooperative relationship that will encourage and foster improved student behavior. Help me to follow through with the calls and to write the detentions. I must follow through or else its just empty promises and shallow threats. I dont want to sabotage my own efforts. I don't want to be manipulative but I do need parents cooperation to improve student behavior.
With all of the destruction and devastation that has taken place all over the world,especially in Haiti, the fact that I am coming nearer for better communication skills seems small and minute but it is important. How we respond in a crisis is always looked at extensively. A word from our mouth can accomplish many things, It can destroy or it can build up. Words are powerful.
I want to speak to the Lord honestly. I need to identify the pressures of this world that are preparing me for the future.
Daniel 3:16-18
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up"
Communication is important. Obedience to God is important. Obedience whether he delivers us or not. Obey God. Listen to God. Communicate with God. Draw nearer to God.
God Bless You today. Be Blessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Inspiration
Invictus (unconquered)
by
William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Thank you for suggesting, demanding that we as a faith community see this movie. Father God we believe that the decisions made by our leaders are divinely directed by You and that their motives are directed by You, Father God.
We believe that the leaders are men and women of discernment, understanding and knowledge. We want to believe that the decisions made will sustain our country and create a stable environment so that we can come together as one to rejoice in the uncompromising authority and well being of our people.
Father God I pray that our leaders are committed to righteousness and not wickedness. I pray that the offices and people in those offices are secure in their commitment to integrity, mercy, truth and faithfulness. Thank You God for giving us an example of forgiveness on a higher level. We are always in need of forgivness. For ourselves and for our country.
May God Bless You today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

What I Expect to Accomplish
Father God I have to write down what I expect to accomplish. I will fix my eyes on my vision daily. I will fix my eyes on what God has called me to do. I must stay on track daily. Take control of my days. Stay on track. I must know consciously and concretely that I am moving closer to the vision that God gave me for my life. Sometimes life comes to steal our focus.
We begin to chase things that are not important to our big picture. Things that have nothing to do with our vision or our purpose. We get burned out on nonsense. We get tired doing stuff that has nothing to do with what God has called us to do. Write down my goals and fix my eyes on them daily. Remind myself of my priorities. I will not allow anything to pull me from my goal. Decide daily to take another step towards the vision and goals that God is leading me into. Write it down. Live on purpose.
Revive the fight in me. I am in a battle. Everything is not suppose to be alright. We are in a war and crazy stuff happens. We are in a fight. We need to be prepared for our battles. We have to drop the survival mentality. Our frustration causes us to fight each other for the crumbs of life.
Decide to live on purpose and know that you deserve the abundant life that Christ came to give me.. It is time to break the curse that has been passed down generation to generation. We all have moments when we feel like quitting but we have to switch gears and decide we are too legit to quit. I am not quitting, no matter what.
The world system is setup to assume you will quit. The world makes money off of you quitting. The world assumes you will quit. The devil made a mistake when we came in tonight because we are not going to quit, get discouraged, or throw in the towel. The enemy is defeated. The devil is just throwing interference at you. Be planted like a tree by the water.
Stop looking for affirmation from sisters and brothers. Look for confirmation in your own spirit. My vision is too powerful. My purpose is to important. I can do all things through Christ who lives in me. I will not quit, I cannot quit, I refuse to quit.
I will revive the spirit of fight within me. Trouble will always come. They will not stop. You must walk through the storm, wind and rain and know that it is going to be alright. Jesus' word is still good. Heaven and Earth are still here. It is time to fight. I may walk out but I refuse to be carried out. We have to bind the quitting spirit and loosen the spirit of faith. Its time to believe again.
Its time to believe in the yoke destroying, make crazy things happen faith. Its time for us to believe again. Its my faith that God is after. God may attack our job, finances, family,home. My faith is the currency to purchase my vision.. Faith is the bridge that I walk across to get to my vision. Just a mustard seed of faith and I can move mountains. See my goal everyday. Write it down. Write it down. Write it down. See it, speak it, believe it daily. Loosen the spirit of faith. It is time to believe in God's best for our future. God is with me, for me and on my side. Its time to believe again. My only option is success.
God Bless You today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today. I love you.

Spend Time Worshipping God
Thank You Father God for allowing me to worship you this morning.
I have been concerned about the activities of today but I am grateful that I have spent time worshipping you this morning. I pray that I am humble and that I abide in your word today. I pray to hear you calling me to do your will. I can do nothing on my own. I am not that competent. I know the truth. Without you I am nothing. Stay with me Lord and guide me through my day.

Let us Come Together
Lord I thank You for today. Thank You for waking me up and starting me on my day. I am blessed to be able to pray to you this morning. I love the fact that I am here and able to have a new beginning. I hate the thought of rejection and I am not going to dwell on that. I know that there is wonderful joy ahead even though the going may be tough for a while.
Psalm 27:1 AMP
The Lord is my Light and my Salvation - whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?
Ephesians 1:3
I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
Ephesians 1:4-8
I am chosen by You , my Father
I am holy and without blame
I am Your child according to the good pleasure of Your will.
I am accepted in the Beloved.
I am redeemed through the blood of Jesus.
I am a person of wisdom and prudence.
Father God I come to you boldly and with truth. I am prepared to go through what ever controversies might arise. while I dont know what to expect I know that I walk with you in my life.
My daughter is coming today and that is a blessing. She has never heard me read before. I pray that she is able to find some direction in her life. I know it is hard and challenging for her and I am pleased that she is even coming today. She is struggling with her job and her manager is being very difficult.She makes hardly anything, Bills galore. Help her to find direction, to receive a light of understanding.
Father God our fear of rejection is huge but with you by our side we can go through anything. We are back for more love and guidance. We want to do the right thing and we have the faith to believe we can do it.
How do we respond to rejection? How do we identify rejection? How do we recover whole and intact? It is with the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. Without the Holy Spirit in our lives we are hopeless and helpless. God Almighty is the source of our strength.
God Bless You today. Be Blessed and Be a Blessing to Someone. I love you.

A Spokesperson for God
Why is there both sweetness and bitterness when you are a called person for God? Father God, why do you call us to speak to those who are believers as well as those who are non believers? You have more rebellion from the believers than the non believers.
Ezekiel 2:3-8
3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day. 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house. 7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."
Lord you ask us to speak your word to them no matter what. If they fail to listen, they fail to listen, but speak your word we must. I thank you God that you have issued this call through Jesus Christ.
I would not be able to do this alone. It is by grace that I struggle with everyday things in this life. I thank you Lord for sending your Holy Spirit to help me.
I belong to God and my goal is to live a Holy Life and to serve God's purpose in this world. If I can strive towards those goals then I can draw nearer to God. I can be someone that God can use.
Use me Lord for whatever you need. It is very difficult right now but I continue to press on Lord. Thank You for loving me and being there for me Lord.
God Bless You today as you meet the challenges of today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Restoration
Father God I am renewing my closeness with you. I am daily renewing my relationship with you.
Jeremiah 31:3-4
...I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness. I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful.
Matthew 11:28
Come to me all who are weary weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Father God I come to you to pray about the broken relationship and lost opportunity that I am experiencing. I have sought you out and continue to seek you in my life.
I know that the obstacles before me are temporary. Lord this building is more that I want or need right now. Every time I turn around there is something breaking. I hope that this last thing will ensure that our tenant is gone. We want to sell it Lord, help us to find a buyer, one who will follow through, and we can move on to another chapter. Father God, help me to not take on my father's debts and responsibilities as my own. I know that I can only help so much. I have tried to reach out to other siblings but they have not responded. Lord if I am to make life changing decisions for him help me to make the right ones. Lord help me to not grow weary with the pain and heartache of others in my life. Help me to remember that Jesus said, Come to me all you who are weary and burdened. I fix my eyes on Jesus, the Author and perfector of my faith.
Father God I thank you for your restoring love. I know that you hear my prayers and that restoration will take place on all levels, in every area of my life. Thank You God for loving me and I know that I am a child of the Most High God. I will be restored to a much more loving relationship with God for he is gentle and humble in heart and I will find rest for my soul. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
Lord I know that prayer works and I will continue to be earnest and steadfast in my prayers to you. I will not grow faint, give up or lose hope. I continue to push on even when it looks like it does right now. Bleak and discouraging. I will press on. I will fight the good fight of faith. I have to.
May God Bless You Today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Good Morning
Father God I pray that today is a day to be a counselor for the emotionally wounded. To up lift their spirit and mind and I ask you that you keep us in your Holy Spirit.
I ask to walk in faith knowing that your wisdom and understanding rest upon us. God you have insight and knowledge to the challenges that are before us and you have the power to help us say the right things for the right circumstance.
Thank You Father God that we are good listeners to the confessions of those that need us. Help us to comprehend the hurt and give constructive advice to influence the current situation. Lord I will not judge how something is seen through their eyes or decide what they hear is correct or not
. I will deal in fairness to the best of my ability and stay faithful to your Word Lord. Lord I will promote peace at all cost. Your peace fills us with joy. You will not leave us with some kind of support.
Father, I know you have the knowledge to assist your children in every situation. I seek your counsel in every situation. Guide me as I guide others. Thank You Lord for loving me. Thank You for showing me that there truly is something better for me.
Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through this Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Emotional and Physical Requirements of Living Things
I am watching this show on PBS that shows humans need loving interactions at a very young age. If they dont receive it then they are detached and have difficulty handling their interactions with other people. One thing they did really made me think.
The did a study in the fifties where they took rehsus monkeys from their mothers at a young age almost from birth and put them in an environment where the had a very metal and cold figure that fed them or a soft comfy figure that didnt feed them In each case the monkey preferred the soft comfy figure, even if it didnt provide nourishment.
That was interesting because they were comparing them to orphans from eastern europe who were not attaching to their adoptive families. The monkeys also developed problems dealing with other people too. They were never the same and had constant problems with aggression and depression. What they are doing is teaching the orphan to connect with his adoptive family.
I find it interesting that God would place such a demand on us that is so instrumental in our well being. We have to be nutured, loved and protected so that we can grow up to be nurturing, caring individuals. It starts when we are young.
We have to learn how to love one another and make sure that the love is displayed and consistent. People have to trust each other in relationships of parent, child, husband, wife, teacher, student. You cant just leave when things go wrong. You have to be ready to meet in the middle and work through it. How do relationships grow and change? How do you resolve disagreements? Leave the critical emotional venom at home. Care about what the person is saying and show it. Be attentive.
Take the love and strengthen it. Stay in love and continue to nuture the love.
God bless you tonight. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Victory over Obstacles
Father God I have read that if I confess with my lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead that I shall be saved. Father, I am your child and I do confess that Jesus Christ is Lord over my spirit, my soul and my body. I make Him Lord over every situation in my life. Therefore, I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.
Father God I give you my obstacles. You know the challenges that I face and the things I have done wrong and what I have done to put my self in these predicaments. Lord I have made a quality decision to give you all of my obstacles. You know what they are and you know the specific ones that I am referring to right now. I turn it over to you Lord.
I leave it alone and give it to you. I pray on it daily and continually desire to be united with you on this obstacle. It is done. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Good Night and God bless. Be blessed and be a blessing. I love you.

Living and Loving In Harmony
Father God I know that before I can love others I must love myself. Help me to speak truly, to be free to say what must be said and to speak the truth. Help me to deal honestly and fairly with others.
Help me to live true and in harmony with You, myself and others in my life. Help me to realize that I am a true workmanship wonderfully and marvelously made by you Father God.
Help me to remember that others do not always know what is best for me. I trust in you with all my heart to acknowledge that You Lord are in control and will make my path straight and agreeable.
I look to you Lord to help me make healthy and safe choices for my life. I know you have my best interest at heart and that I am part of your plan and purpose. I am here on purpose and not by chance.
I take responsibility for myself and I am continually seeking to improve myself. I strive to continue to walk upright and continue to be consistent, committed and confident. I strive for harmony with our communication and commitment. We are there because we want to be. Not because we have to be.
I will learn to love my neighbor as myself and to learn love is about taking chances over and over again.Learning to love is what we seek daily. God Bless You. Be Blessed and Be a Blessing to Someone. I love you.
Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Help me to live true and in harmony with You, myself and others in my life. Help me to realize that I am a true workmanship wonderfully and marvelously made by you Father God.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
ITS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW BEGINNING.
MY FUTURE'S SO BRIGHT I HAVE TO WEAR SHADES. EXPERIENCING SOMETHING NEW ALWAYS FEELS EXCITING.
2010!!!!
Glory be to God. As I listened to your service last night I knew that this would be a year of change and promise. Something new and different. The beginning. It was too cold to take the little boy out. I'm watching him while his mom is in D.C. That was my Christmas present to her. I thought the weather was going to be better than that. We went to see the chipmunks earlier and it was around the 30's then when we came out it was so cold. It was in the low teens and that was about 5pm. I hoped he would go to sleep and I could slip out but to no avail. He was up and stayed up til midnight. We both watched the watch service on the internet. I know you say its not for those in the area but sometimes it really is for us. The church looks so beautiful with the trees and the lights. Everything was so beautiful.
God Bless You today and always. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.
