Be Encouraged Today!

Well Praise the Lord! All I can really say before I get into the “meat” of this post is “Come Lord Jesus!” I will say that this is the most hatred I have seen in America in a very long time, and this is on both sides of the races. Instead of listening and understanding, we are calling each other horrible names and lumping each particular race to ALL the people of those races, and that’s not fair. All blacks don’t hate white people or shoot innocent cops, and not all white people hate blacks and shoot innocent black while in church. We have rotten apples in both barrels. I’m going to address some of those things, and get ready because a lot of you are not going to like them – and that’s on both sides. First, I want to address the “victory” for homosexuals in our nation. Those who know me know that I don’t condone that lifestyle. To me, it unnatural, and I believe that God didn’t intend for sexual relations to be between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. God made us all...

Well school is out, and the kiddos at home with Mommy! This past month has been hectic, but I got my boys IEP meetings done! And all of my kids had different dates for their schools field days (all can be seen on my Facebook Page), and yes, I attended and volunteered at each one. It’s was good hot fun. Dorrien graduated from Kindergarten, and we are just tickled pink. We are so very proud of him, and all of kiddies! Being a mom is very rewarding, but also very busy. I am so very fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom that is able and willing to attend every little function the schools have. I love my kids! I know you are looking at this title and wondering “Ok, where is she going with this????” Being as busy as have been this last month and half with my children, I thought about something I prayed for, in earnest, during my first pregnancy. I prayed and prayed to have twins! My mom was a twin, so I knew the “twin gene” was available. I prayed for girl and boy identical twins. ...

Well Hallelujah! Everything that can be shaken tried to shake apart; oh but God! Lord, I just want to thank you for forgiving me and redeeming and saving me! It is Good to know and serve the Living God. I really don’t know how people get along without Him, but I am so thankful that I can call on Him in times of trouble. We all face trouble from time to time, and we know that time and chance happens to us all, but our faith, attitude and what we are saying determines how long or how severe our troubles will be, at least that’s what I believe. Earlier this month, I got really sick. It started out being a sore throat, but then it got worse. I thought it might be strep throat, but the test came back negative. I began to have really bad fevers and chills. I couldn’t eat because the pain was so bad. I got really dehydrated making my bottom lip split really bad. All I could feel was the pain and how weak I was from not eating; I mean I was really pitiful. Then I remembered a po...

A lot of people think that becoming a Christian, being Christ Like, means there are a lot of "No's". Many people believe that you can't do this and you can't do that. That is not the case. Yes, there are some things that you will stop doing or saying because they would be displeasing God. For instance, you wouldn't go around cursing/swearing, speaking ill of others or to others, sleeping around with everybody or killing. It's some of the same things that Mom and Dad taught us not to do. God's way, His Word, gives us the strength to withstand the evils of this world that are no good for us anyway. Cursing, speaking ill of someone, gossiping or backbiting can get your feelings hurt or worse beat up : |. Sleeping around or with someone else's spouse or significant other can get you an STD, beat up too or worse killed. The Word of God has things in place to protect us and for us to have a better quality of life. In fact, the Word of God tells...

1 Corinthians 2:9-12 states: However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him— 10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. And because we have received the Spirit of God, Jeremiah 29:11is true for us. We know the thoughts and plans Gods has for us; they are thoughts of good and not evil (plans to prosper us not to harm us), to give us hope and a future. We serve a Good God that know how to give good gifts unto His children (Luke 11:13). I’d say the gift of the Holy Spirit is a good, great gift. ...

I just want to say that the Lord is Good. Yes, God is good, and He is good all the time. Now the Holy Spirit is God “The Spirit”. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, and He is the Revealer of all Truth. Now when Jesus died on the Cross and arose again to be seated at the right hand of God, He promised not to leave of us orphans. John 14:26 states: But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Now I’m sure I’m not the only one who knows what the Word of God says, and forgets it from time to time. Not so much that you forget it, but that we don’t use it as often as we should. The Word of God clearly tells, as stated above, that the Holy Spirit will remind us of everything He, God, has said to us. This is whether the written Word, the Bible, an audible spoken Word (spoken by someone else) or a Word spoken to your spirit. Like I said before, God is always speaking; we need ...

Remember on "The Color Purple" Shug was singing 🎶 in the juke joint, and the church ⛪ choir began singing "God is Trying to Tell you Something". Shug tried to out sing the choir, but something happened. It was like something was awaken in her; she was drawn to the church, to the singing 🎶, to the song. Everytime I see this part of the movie tears stream down my face. She made it home, and reconciled with her father and The Father (God). I think God is trying to do the same thing; He's trying to wake us up. Have you noticed increased number of "End Times" shows and movies. Though most are not quite Biblically accurate, most will probably get people to thinking about their relationship with God, or at least get them interested in learning more. He's trying to wake up the sinner, non-believer or the back slider to let them know that their time is running out. You choose this day whom you will serve, and in choosing you will sill your destinat...
