Starting New

Matthew 5

Daniel 4

Thank You for today Lord. I am grateful and blessed to be in it for you today. All of us have experienced something new. We have been challenged to find God in everything we do. Lord, while we are going through the newness and discipline of beginning something new, help us to overcome the anxiety of waiting. When we are praying for something and it takes a long time to come, we can get frustrated. Our prayers are important. My struggle is with  me. God is sovereign in my life and in the world. I humble myself before God. Nothing I have is because of me. It is God alone who has provided for me and allowed me to receive his goodness. It is not me, it is God. I trust God to provide the strength I need for today. All that I am is because of God's influence in my life. I would not be here if it wasn't for the Lord in my life. Thank You Lord. I love you so very much. We are the light that shines for our beacon of hope. We will make a difference for God.

Not My Will But the Lord's Will

 

Philippians 1:3-8

New International Version (NIV)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

³ I thank my God every time I remember you. ⁴ In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy ⁵ because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, ⁶ being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
⁷ It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. ⁸ God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.


Thank You for today Lord. It took all I had to make it today. I am so glad that I decided to fellowship. The question of can these dry bones live is answered with a loud and deafening YES! I'm so proud of you. You are bringing people together peacefully. God is good. My heart is so full of love for you. You have so much love in your heart.

 What is the problem with me? I know I don't want unnecessary drama for you. You have enough on your mind. You must be so tired of me. If this is how it is to be for us for now , so be it. It will get better. I am so challenged by so much right now. The new job. The family responsibilities. My finances. My relationship.  But its not just about me. The world doesn't revolve around my problems. I will not have tunnel vision on my problems. There's more to life than my stuff. My world gets much smaller when I focus on me. I am encouraged again. My future is brighter now that I have taken up the dream again. I love you and will try harder to prove it and make a difference for both you and me.
Speak up is what I must do. Let me just talk, Lord. Life is too short.  Now it the time. Prayers and more prayers are what I need. I love you.

The Meaning Of It All

Thank You Lord for all that you have done.
I was hoping for my battle to be a win-win situation.
I want transparency.
I want to be in the open and this seems to be hidden.
So maybe if I am not writing, then we are talking. We are relating
one on one. Face to face.  But
that didn't happen either. It doesn't mean it won't happen, It just hasn't happened as yet.
So instead of  just waiting, I will write.
Never underestimate the power of a godly life. Whose life has been an influence on me?
Daniel 5

Trust Unconditionally

My Blessing

Thank You God for reminding how I am yours. When I am not performing up to par, you are there. You remind me of whose I am. I am yours and you are mine. I have an assurance that you love me and I love you. God you have given me a spirit of love. I have received that. I pledge to give love and receive love. I am committed to you God. My life is yours. I am giving you all of my love and all of my life. I will be true to you Lord. I will never leave you or forsake you. That is your pledge to me Lord. I receive it and I believe it. I'm alright. I'm going to be alright. Everything will be alright. I'm believing and loving God for my future. We do have a future. I Believe it. The devil is a liar and will try to kill, steal and destroy my future, but God sent Jesus so that I might have life and have it more abundantly. There is joy for me and I will not let the devil steal my joy. I have confidence in that. I may bend and sway but I have not been broken. I'm still here. Thank You God, I am still here. Glory to your name Father God. I love you so much. You are so concerned about me. I forget that you really do care sometimes.

Good Night

Thank You Lord for finally showing me how to do something right. It took forever but now I believe I have discovered how to do lesson plans without taking all night, next time. Five am will come real quick but I have to say something to you since I missed you on Sunday. I love you and good night. Short and sweet. Let us pray for no war, but if they must go, go with support. Do not go alone in the Middle East, but if they must  and go alone, due to pride and power, then do it right. Seek God first and pray on th.e answer.  Good Night
