He Will Work It Out For You

Hello Everyone,

Can I just say, "thank you Lord."  Today was interesting and very revealing about people and how treacherous they can be, and how out of their minds they become when all of their antics and foolishness does not phase you. Well, I had that experience, but I was the one not phased, so, I thank my strong God for being right there having my back.  I feel a sense of peace and relief.  Others may say oh my goodness, you were treated horrible and while that is true, God revealed so much to me and kept me strong that there is nothing left to do but be grateful. I prayed and prayed often and will keep on praying.  God did it for me and He will do it for you.  Never doubt God's ability to strengthen you and make you confident when others put there best foot forward to try and stomp you, just step aside, let God work and watch him work.  He is faithful.  I saw a quote that I truly adore it read something to the affect, if a door closes, praise Him in the hallway until the next one opens.

Listen friends, God is a friend of all friends, a sweet peace where others see a storm and He will not forsake you.  So, we must not try to tell God how to help us, but to trust Him, because He knows, sees and hears what we do not.  Give Him time so that when He does work things out for you, you along with every witness can say, "God did it."

It Is About Being Fit

Hello Everyone,

The way to make it through life's ups and downs is to get fit and you have what it takes.    Life is like a boxing match, you have to stand flat foot and strong so you won't get knocked down = FAITH, you have to watch and be vigilant so that you will not get sucker punched = DISCERNMENT, if you get knocked down then get up = LEAN ON GOD, bob and weave when rounds of hard blows are coming your way = WEAR THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, protect your vital organs by tucking, pivoting and stepping to the side = KEEP GOD'S WORDS IN YOUR HEART.  We have to be fit mentally and spiritually and it takes an everyday walk, some days the walk is lonely, some days it is long, some days it is grueling, but keep on walking with the Lord, the more we walk the more fit we become.

Something You Should Know

Hello Everyone,

I have posted the following video previously.  I just need to go back to it.  There are so many people that are hurt by words of others and their own thoughts, but please know that God loves you.  Do not believe the hype of words and thoughts, because they are not truth, God is truth.  It is easy to get wrapped up in believing that you are less than, that you are not enough, that you are invisible, that you have no power.  Faaaallllllsssseee, absolutely false.  You have power, because God placed it in you, not only that, He is all power and will be your fortress and confidence.  Take hold of believing in yourself and do not look in the mirror and see what you saw the last time.  Look and see that God loves you and has made someone beautiful.  We are His children and He has made a great sacrifice, His only son, to show us His love.  Therefore, we must reciprocate by not allowing negativity to manipulate us to give time to people, things and thoughts that work against us.  Additionally, do not let your self-esteem plummet because of what others say.  Who know their motivation and who should care? Anyone who did not create you can not break you.  If your self-esteem has been damaged pray and work on it day by day.  Pray for the eyes to see your own beauty, kindness and value.
