My Prayer

Colossians 1:9-14

New International Version (NIV)

⁹ For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,^{[a] 10} so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, ¹¹ being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, ¹² and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you^[b] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. ¹³ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.




My prayer to you Lord is that I do better. I want my man. I believe we are both willing to walk this path together. He fears that I am not prepared for the scrunity but together we can walk that path. Together I know we can be better. Help me Lord to make that happen. Help me Lord to keep calm. I'm so excited to see him. But I want more. I want him Lord. He is my heart's desire. Without him, I am searching for more and trying to find him. Lord it is he who makes my day better. Today I get to see My Love. I'm excited Lord. I know that next week I will be at a PD on Saturday, so I will miss the Peace Jam. Then there is the the picnic, I have to take the little one to a birthday party, so I will miss that. But Dancing with the PastorI don't want to miss, I wouldn't miss that for anything.

How is it Lord, that we are actually talking about a strike at this time of the year? Its so disrespectful to the President. Its his hometown, he needs the support of the teachers and their families. Its disgusting that they are unable to respect and honor the educational staff and give us a fair contract. All this during an election year. Nothing is solved and the same issues are at the forefront of the discussion. No progress, no compromise. Nothing. How embarrassing for the powers that be.

The convention for the most part has reinforced the survival of the fittest. I am strong, I am powerful and I don't plan on apologizing for that. We tried this caring for everyone and look where it got us.

Please Lord, let our President Dare To Dream. Dare to Believe that the job is not done and he can do the job. Get some confidence. Stop perpetuating this culture of fear. We have shifted. We have improvements. We have successes. We need to act like a winner.

Good Morning Dear

Praise the Lord. Thank You Jesus

Today is the Day that the Lord has made.

I will rejoice and be glad in it.

You are my rock and my salvation.

I love you, I trust you, I miss you.

You are strong and mighty.

You are an overcomer.

You can do anything, with God on your side..

I walk by faith and not by sight.

It's not an accident that I am here at this time, on this day, in this location.

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. Have faith, it will work out.

Thank You

Thank You God. Thank You for loving me and holding me in your arms and making me yours. I love you. I love you. I love you.

I believe in you and I trust you. I trust you to do the best you can to make our world a better place. We must stay dilligent and remember to
BE Bold
Show Honor
Receive Favor

When people are abusive and arrogant, we have to remember to respond with strength in God who is the real boss. Micro managers annoy me. Its one thing to be detailed and through but its another when you are just walking and looking for something to mess with. The devil is in the details. Its a fine line. Don't overlook something but don't be so petty that you are not flexible.

Thank You God for my blessings. I am healed, I am healed, I am healed. This will pass.

Romans 7:7-25

New International Version (NIV)

The Law and Sin

⁷ What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”^{[a] 8} But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. ⁹ Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. ¹⁰ I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. ¹² So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
¹³ Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
¹⁴ We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. ¹⁵ I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. ¹⁶ And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. ¹⁷ As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. ¹⁸ For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.^[b] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. ¹⁹ For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. ²⁰ Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
²¹ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. ²² For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; ²³ but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. ²⁴ What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? ²⁵ Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature^[c] a slave to the law of sin.

We take the good with the bad

Oh Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus.
God Knows I didn't want you to say you couldn't do it I thank God that you wouldn't and couldn't even think of not giving it a try. God knows I love you. Oh my God, we are closer than ever now.

I need you and believe I can trust you. I love you. Its getting better and better. Where would I go? What could I possibly do without you? I trust you. You are an honorable, bold, loving, devoted man. I am too blessed. I don't take this decision lightly and I am overwhelmed with love for you. I love you.

Our Lives Are Better With God

Romans 8:30-40

New International Version (NIV)

³⁰ And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

More Than Conquerors

³¹ What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ³³ Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. ³⁴ Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died —more than that, who was raised to life —is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ³⁶ As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”^[a]

³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Since You Started It.......

I have been very good about not complaining. After all, how can you really discuss something with someone who doesn't even talk to you. Jealousy cannot be a factor.
I'm working on the jealousy thing because I know everybody loves you and the ladies love you a lot.

Friday nights are really working out for the community and I am so happy for that. What I am not happy about is leaving every Friday in tears because I am the last person you seem to want to say hello to or to give a smile or warm greeting.
So I cry all the way home and blame myself because I should have done more to get your attention.


I prayed to God long ago and I promised God I would not have sex with anyone until I was married. That  was 22 years ago. I have been celibate for 22 years. I want to honor God with my promise of waiting until marriage. Waiting until marriage to have hot, passionate, sex with my husband. Waiting.

Fast Forward to today. Looks like I'm working on year 23.
I'm literarally going to die waiting. God has quite a sense of humor. But the reality is that I probably will.

I was listening to the radio last week, in the morning on my drive into work. Genital Herpes Simplex II came up. Goes  to show you how important it is to get things out in the open early in the relationship. I forgot about that. So now I am opening up and coming clean.

When I was married, in 1980, my ex-husband cheated on me when I was pregnant and brought genitial herpes home, while I was pregnant with his child. Since I was pregnant at the time I had to have a caesearean because the baby could go blind going through the birth canal with herpes. Once you have the virus, you have it for life. I have never had any other out breaks since 1980, but because it is in my system, my second child was also born by caesearean section due to the risk of blindness.

So, now you know. I wasn't holding out on the info, I did forget, I wanted to tell you in person and I was going to do it the next time I went through the line, but then I was reading today and I just don't want to put it off any longer. I want you to know that you could, through sexual relations with me, possibly get it. There is a 60%, that's sixty, SIXTY PERCENT chance of getting it.

Knowledge is power. Make wise decisions for yourself.

 Protect yourself.

Also you need to know that condoms do not protect you because its a skin to skin in the genitial area. Hence you might be walking away from this, from me, and know that I want you to be informed. I would rather tell you now before its too late, just on the off chance that we actually did have an opportunity to hook up and have a relationship, I want you to know now and not after the fact. That would be wrong. That would be like sleeping with someone with AIDS AND THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU.

Well, now that you have something to chew on. I can't wait to get your reaction.

Purpose

 

Ephesians 1:1-14

New International Version (NIV)

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,

To God’s holy people in Ephesus,^[a] the faithful in Christ Jesus:

² Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. ⁴ For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love ⁵ he^[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship^[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— ⁶ to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. ⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace ⁸ that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, ⁹ he^[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, ¹⁰ to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment —to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
¹¹ In him we were also chosen,^[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, ¹² in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. ¹³ And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

They Say.......

 

Psalm 94

¹ The LORD is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, shine forth.
² Rise up, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
³ How long, LORD, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?
⁴ They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.
⁵ They crush your people, LORD;
they oppress your inheritance.
⁶ They slay the widow and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.
⁷ They say, “The LORD does not see;
the God of Jacob takes no notice.”


Glory to your name O 'Lord. Thank You God for all of your mercies and your Kindness. I love you so much.

Going on a Galley Walk of Love

Hebrews 10

New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

Hebrews 10

Christ's Sacrifice Is Once and for All Time

¹ The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming. It is not the real things themselves. The same sacrifices have to be offered over and over again. They must be offered year after year. That's why the law can never make perfect those who come near to worship. ² If it could, wouldn't the sacrifices have stopped being offered? The worshipers would have been made clean once and for all time. They would not have felt guilty for their sins anymore. ³ But those offerings remind people of their sins every year. ⁴ It isn't possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ So when Christ came into the world, he said,
"You didn't want sacrifices and offerings.
Instead, you prepared a body for me.
⁶ You weren't pleased
with burnt offerings and sin offerings.
⁷ Then I said, 'Here I am. It is written about me in the scroll.
God, I have come to do what you want.' " —(Psalm 40:6-8) ⁸ First Christ said, "You didn't want sacrifices and offerings. You didn't want burnt offerings and sin offerings. You weren't pleased with them." He said that even though the law required people to bring them. ⁹ Then he said, "Here I am. I have come to do what you want." He did away with the first. He did it to put the second in place. ¹⁰ We have been made holy by what God wanted. We have been made holy because Jesus Christ offered his body once and for all time. ¹¹ Day after day every priest stands and does his special duties. He offers the same sacrifices again and again. But they can never take away sins. ¹² Jesus our priest offered one sacrifice for sins for all time. Then he sat down at the right hand of God. ¹³ Since that time, he waits for his enemies to be put under his control. ¹⁴ By that one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. ¹⁵ The Holy Spirit also gives witness to us about this. First he says,

¹⁶ "This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts.
I will write my laws on their minds." —(Jeremiah 31:33)
¹⁷ Then he adds,
"I will not remember their sins anymore.
I will not remember the evil things they have done." —(Jeremiah 31:34) ¹⁸ Where those have been forgiven, there is no longer any offering for sin.

A Warning to Remain Faithful

¹⁹ Brothers and sisters, we are not afraid to enter the Most Holy Room. We enter boldly because of the blood of Jesus. ²⁰ His way is new because he lives. It has been opened for us through the curtain. I'm talking about his body. ²¹ We also have a great priest over the house of God. ²² So let us come near to God with an honest and true heart. Let us come near with a faith that is sure and strong. Our hearts have been sprinkled. Our minds have been cleansed from a sense of guilt. Our bodies have been washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold firmly to the hope we claim to have. The One who promised is faithful. ²⁴ Let us consider how we can stir up one another to love. Let us help one another to do good works. ²⁵ Let us not give up meeting together. Some are in the habit of doing this. Instead, let us cheer each other up with words of hope. Let us do it all the more as you see the day coming when Christ will return. ²⁶ What if we keep sinning on purpose? What if we do it even after we know the truth? Then there is no offering for our sins. ²⁷ All we can do is to wait in fear for God to judge. His blazing fire will burn up his enemies. ²⁸ Anyone who did not obey the law of Moses died without mercy if there were two or three witnesses. ²⁹ What should be done to anyone who has hated the Son of God or has said no to him? What should be done to a person who treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that makes him holy? What should be done to someone who has made fun of the Holy Spirit who brings God's grace? Don't you think people like that should be punished more than anyone else? ³⁰ We know the One who said, "I am the One who judges people. I will pay them back."—(Deuteronomy 32:35) Scripture also says, "The Lord will judge his people."—(Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14) ³¹ It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. ³² Remember those earlier days after you received the light. At that time you stood firm in a great struggle. You did it even in the face of suffering. ³³ Sometimes you were made fun of in front of others. You were treated badly. At other times you stood side by side with people who were being treated like that. ³⁴ You suffered together with people in prison. When your property was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew that God had given you better and more lasting things. ³⁵ So don't throw away your bold faith. It will bring you rich rewards. ³⁶ You need to be faithful. Then you will do what God wants. You will receive what he has promised. ³⁷ In just a very little while,
"The one who is coming will come. He will not wait.
³⁸ The one who is in the right will live by faith.
If he pulls back,
I will not be pleased with him." —(Habakkuk 2:3,4) ³⁹ But we aren't people who pull back and are destroyed. We are people who believe and are saved.

Hello My Darling

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN FIVE DAYS SINCE I JOURNALED.

Oh where has the time gone? What is it that is taking usp so much of my time? Is it my shopping in the vegetable aisle? Or is it my willingness to try and get all of my rest daily? God knows what it is.

I am trying to write my lesson plan for class tomorrow. I also have a presentation and I need to do a powerpoint. Tomorrow is my last day of freedom. I have to go into school tomorrow.

But through it all I know God is with Me. God loves me me.

Beautiful sermon. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful flowers.

John 7:53-8:11

New International Version (NIV)

---

[The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53—8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.]

⁵³ Then they all went home, 8 ¹ but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

² At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. ³ The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group ⁴ and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. ⁵ In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” ⁶ They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. ⁷ When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” ⁸ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
⁹ At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. ¹⁰ Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
¹¹ “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Good Morning Darling

2 Corinthians 6:14-7:4

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

¹⁴ Do not be ^[a]bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? ¹⁵ Or what harmony has Christ with ^[b]Belial, or ^[c]what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,

“ I will dwell in them and walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
¹⁷ “ Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
¹⁸ “ And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.

Paul Reveals His Heart

7 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

² Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one. ³ I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together. ⁴ Great is my confidence ^[d]in you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.



Good Morning My Lord and Savior. Dear God I exist only for you. You have taken my mind, body and soul. We are soulmates. Our souls have become one. We are united. Be Blessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you.
