Professional Developmeny

Thank you for the consideration of just reading anything that I write about. I humble myself because last night, I couldn't get to sleep so I watched frontline where they compared the two presidential candidates. Trump just infuriates me. Finding out that his mentors were the McCarthy era witch hunters is just so crazy. How and why is this extreme racist, fascist able to get such a strong hold on our country? The pendulum is swinging back to the right and not that I want it to the far left, but let's try and balance it. Knowing that our country has made so many promises to black people and not come through with the talk. People are people. All people matter but some would rather step on you than to help you or even just be fair to you. It's about who can I get over on. Trump is treating the people like chumps. Win or lose, he has made an impact and I don't see him going away. We are going to find ourselves going back to a more divisive society. We will hate more and blame more. Is Hill the best choice, well right now she is the only choice. I'm at a PD today and the speaker is boring. Have a blessed day.

Unity against Divisiveness

Ephesians 4:14-16 

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. 

Thank you Lord for today. You didn't have to give it but you did. Help us to not be deceived by people who are liars. Help us to show our maturity. We are not fooled by the craftiness and cunning ability of those who want to deceive us. Spiritual maturity is necessary. We are not impressed by talk alone. Repeating the same thing over and over doesn't make it true. Thank you Lord for your gifts. Together we build ourselves up in love. Love will allow us to do our part as we work together. Together in love we can help one another. Have a wonderful, blessed, productive day. Keep your spirits up and know that you are loved very much. I love you.

God's Grace is Enough

2 Corinthians 12:9

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore,

I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I am thankful that God has found grace to give me another day. Challenges and problems come but God's grace is sufficient. Calming my anxious heart is a challenge for me. Don't doubt. Trust in God to do what needs to be done. I have a thankful heart and a giving heart. My weaknesses I give over to God. I pray for strength training in my struggling areas. I love you, have a blessed day.

Imagine Your Day

Revelation 22:5

They will need no light or lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

Imagine a life where our needs are met, we are in perfect relationship and there is no discourse. Harmony of our mind, spirit and body.

Perfect peace. While still here on earth I will stress on the things that will keep me in union with God. I am not perfect and this world is not perfect either, but I will continue to try and do what is right, speak the truth and trust in God. I will have faith and trust that there will be a better day for both of us. Today is a new day, we will rejoice and be glad in it. I love you, be blessed.

The Gentle Grace of God

Isaiah 30:18

The Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.

Lord I do not put you on the back burner. I care what you think and what you have commanded. My relationship is at the top of my priorities. I do not take you for granted. You are special to me and I desire to be close to you daily. Who am I to tell you what to do. I know that you would never harm, you are there to help. I give you my love freely. Thank you for loving me. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone special.i love you.

A Sure and Certain Promise

Thank you God for today. Whatever it may bring, I'm ready. 

Jeremiah 33:11

The sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord, saying,

Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good, his love endures forever. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before, says the Lord.

Thank you for today. Your mercy endures forever. Lord bless us today. Keep us close and guide our path. I pray that you have a good and productive day today. I love you.

Rebuke and Judgment

Thank you Lord for today. As in Hebrews, the Lord disciplines those he loves. I guess he really loves me. Thank you Lord for the blessings even when I didn't know they were blessings at the time. I know that you love me and that's what matters.keep me safe and do not forsake me. I pray that you have a blessed day today. I love you.

I am Never Alone

Hebrews 13:5

I will never leave you nor forsake you.

I thank God for his blessings. The will of God takes me where his grace can keep me. I must trust in God. I will not be anxious or afraid. Lord I pray for my students. One of them is missing. Had I not called the mom yesterday wondering why her daughter was not in school I never would have known. Dad picked her up from school on Thursday and they haven't been seen since.  Keep her safe Lord, keep her safe. We have to pray for each other. I just surround you with a hedge of protection, be blessed today and know that you are loved very much. Thank you God for watching over me. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

I'm on the Menu

Dear God, I'm on the menu at the lion's club. I still have water issues at home. Now we have to have the line looked at inside and out. There must be a blockage. What's that going to cost! There's the doctor today, I pray I have no changes. Then off to school, so far this year hasn't been too bad, just that I have no books. I have my grade book being watched. My class is on notice, I have to put together all of the materials. What a hassle that's been so far. But still, I rise. Thank you Maya Angelou. Put the challenges in God's hand and together we can go through. I put our relationship in God's hand. Together we can go to the next level. I can make a difference with my life. This is not how it will end. I praise God for giving me another chance. I'm ready for change in my life. Every September is a new beginning. I love you and pray for you. Where's our new beginning, together we can make a change for our relationship. I'm going to pray on that. God Bless you today, stay steady, be firm and know that you are loved dearly. This too shall pass.

Working Together

Daniel 6:3-4 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. 

Praise God that we can work together. Don't let strife, jealousy and any other chachter flaw lead us astray. Praise God we can come to him with our concerns. 

My house problems need your attention Lord. Let the replacement of the sump pump be all that is needed.

Lord don't let the teachers strike, that's not what we want, but I know it will happen no matter what because they don't feel as if they are being respected. Hear our pleas Lord God. 

Fix me Lord. Help me find my way. Guide me. Keep me near you. Thank you for your blessings. God bless you today. Be safe and know that you are loved very much.

Don't Worry

LuKe 12:22-26 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? 

Thank you God, less worry, less stress. 

Forgiveness

Jesus is the Light of the World

John 8:12

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Thank you Lord for your blessings. You woke me this morning. I'm believing in your will in my life. I have nothing but love for you. You forgive my sins, you love me unconditionally. I will walk with you forever.i love you and need you greatly.

Facing Opposition

Thank you Lord for today. Opposition comes everyday. My lord and my savior I will put my trust in you. There are times when we don't feel courageous. Times when it is very difficult to not question and doubt, but I will allow God to come to me in the midst of my fears and stretch out his vision of how truly powerful he really is. He has me in the palm of his hand. I love you and pray for you daily. 

Acts21-22

Opposition in full bloom.

I Need You

Thank You God for today. I need you to know that. Every day is a blessing. I will stand with you until the end.

John 7:24

Stop judging my mere appearances and make the right judgment. 

As Jesus makes his presence known, he faces hostility. Jesus' authority is challenged, he calls  for understanding. Seek first to understand then to be understood. That is one of our seven habits that we are learning for our training. I pray that you will understand that I do love you and need you. God bless you today, be blessed and be a blessing to someone special. 

Victory snatched from defeat

Thank you God for your sacrifice. You died for my sins. I will prepare better so that I spend more time with the wor. I spend time in my car and at home. God bless you today. I love you and pray for you. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.

I love you

God bless you and keep you today.

Didn't want to miss reaching out to you today. I love you.

Contentment

1 Timothy 6:6

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we bought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

Be content with the things that we have. Pray for those who are needy and without family. See the need in the world and face it honestly. My class is full of needy children. It will prove to be an interesting school year. I can't believe the summer is over. I can't believe that I'm so terrible at this relationship. Here we are closer and closer to a beautiful future together and I'm like this. My priorities need aligning. I need aligning. I will not begin the day in desperation. There is hope for me and I will not give up on me. I lock you and pray for a wonderful day for you today. Be safe and be blessed.

Worries and Anxieties

Praise God today. I woke up at 4:24am with you on my mind. Glory be to God. That's your prayer time. I'm blessed to be on your mind. Thank you God for your blessing. I'm always nervous on the first day. You show me that if I just have faith. Faith that everything will be alright. No matter what comes my way, God is with me. I invite him in. I pray that I never give up this challenge before me. There must be a day, a time, a place where this will stop and my prayers are answered. Together, we are better. I can't dwell on the past. I look forward to the future. I'm ready for the challenges of today. It's a new day and new possibilities. God is good. I love you and pray for you. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone.

Truth

Acts 14:22

...we must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God...

Praise God, God wants to change me and I want to be changed. Speak the truth and know that God love you. I challenge myself to speak more. Guide me along the way. I encourage you to stay encouraged. God loves you and so do I. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone special.
