Jesus loved us to death!! His love for us was so great that He gave His life for us to live. Now that's real love. He put our sins to death, so our sins wouldn't put us to death, but that we would have a chance to live with Him when He returns. God sees our shortcomings and He sent His Son so that we could be forgiven for those short comings. No greater love that the ultimate love that Christ showed for us. We should think about that when we are sinning and not thinking about repenting from mess. I spoke to a lady just the other day and she said to me "well He's a forgiving God for a reason, He knows we are going to do it anyways", she was speaking on fornication. Yes He is a forgiving God, but we shouldn't live with that mentality. What if we die in the act? Then what? Strive for holiness, strive for righteousness, He deserves us giving 100% to doing what is right. Because He Loved (s) Me to Death, I can face tomorrow. Because of His love, I don't have to allow someone else to "Love Me to Death" by being in an abusive relationship with someone that might just "Love Me to Death"...Pray on it and seek counseling God wants what is best for us.

God's Gift is Beauty for Your Ashes & Joy....
for Your Mourning: Now Live. Isaiah 61:1-3
Ashes are defined as the remains after burning, deathlike grayness. God wants to give us beauty (life) for whatever is causing us to be dead. Joy for our mourning (peace, love, hope, happiness) for whatever caused us to be sorrowful. Let go of the past that stops you from receiving your gift. When you hold on to mess and refuse to forgive, mess is really holding on to you and you're dead in a sense. To choose to forgive is a step toward healing, getting better. If you aren't healing to forgiveness, you're dying to NOT forgiving. Don't allow yourself to be controlled by something that someone has done to you. Pray for them, Forgive & Live.

Wonderful Woman
Ladies we are wonderful!!! Adam saw Eve wonderful once God formed her...he said bones of my bones, flesh of my flesh...Adam knew he was the head, but he didn't see his wife in a belittling form. Gen. 2:21-23
God made us fearfully and wonderfully, and we should act like we know. Not in an arrogant way, but humble. Being independent is wonderful, but everyone needs someone so know how to be independent in behavior and don't let it come out your mouth or be on your face in an arrogant state. Ps. 139:14
Before God made us, He knew us. While we were yet in our mother's womb, we were chosen for a work. God knows our every move and thought, He knows we are a mess, but He still has a work for us to do if we just allow Him to use us to be a blessing. Jer. :5
God does not show favortism. He made David fearfully and wonderfully so I am fearfully and wonderfully. He knew Jeremiah before he was formed in the womb and chose him and He knew me before I was formed in the womb and chose me.
We need to know this, so we can encourage ourselves when the storm comes. Yes it will come,but God's promises are our refuge. Know who you are in Christ, know God's word for you and know that you are a Wonderful Woman.

God Completes Me
We try to find acceptance from people, but we only need acceptance from God. Until we learn that God completes us, we might do just anything trying to fit in. God said that He will carry on the good work that He has started in us until Jesus returns. God wants what's best for us. Why is it so hard to stop being stupid thinking others can do more than God can and will do for His children? Phil. 1:6 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. Although we were all born into sin doesn't mean God can't do good things for us. He loves us so much. I have to be confident that when things are going sour, that God has started this good work in me and He will complete it as long as I don't faint and turn away from Him. I trust God and because I trust Him and seek Him first, I lack nothing. My dreams to become a writer for the Kingdom of God, God is working that out right now. He won't turn His back on me, and I can be confident because God Completes Me.

I Had God At Hello.....
Now before you start judging and thinking I am being arrogant, the word of the Lord tells me that God's ears are attentive to the righteous cry. So just because I know this about me, doesn't mean it's not for you. I know that I am righteous, I know that I seek God. God knows what I need before I open up my mouth. Psalm 34: 1-17 is a good text to go along with this but v.15 is my favorite, The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry. So I'm not being arrogant because I think I am all that, but because He is all that and He honors His word.
I'm not perfect, and yes I have areas of weakness but as I continue to submit to God and resist the devil and these areas of weakness, they flee.
All I'm saying is that I don't have to beg God to hear me, I just seek Him and say "Hello God, Hello Father", and His omnipotence (power do do all things) hears me right then. And He is ready to bless me with His goodness.
So I think I'll keep on keeping on, keep on striving for righteousness, keep on saying Hello Father. I Have God at Hello. I like knowing He has my back, and I have His attention.

I Must Endure Your Mess....
If I want to be saved!!! The Bible lets me know that while people are hating on me, I must keep them in prayer. Serious prayer people, not just some quick prayer to make you feel better about yourself. We have to want what's best for the haters. Matthew 10:22-25 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household! God, are You serious!!! People talking about you and smiling in your face, people thinking they better than you and looking down on you, people cursing you out, and so on...yeah all them haters. Enduring means I must portray Jesus when I go through, not cursing folk out, not talking about folk, not getting angry and sinning against them. I must keep it in my head that in order for me to make it to Heaven, I have to learn how endure your mess. (Is that cursing Pastor?) How do you pray and want what's best for haters? This is when you find out if you really saved. As a child of God I'm suppose to want what Jesus wants right? Salvation for the hater so they won't go to hell right? Remember who you were once, stop being selfish and pray for the haters salvation. We gone go through til Jesus returns...Why we think we not, Jesus went through and we are His right? The soldiers came to get Jesus and Peter got with them, but Jesus being humble still had mercy for the man and healed his ear. Shake off that Peter spirit. I know I have to before I end up in Hell...cause people be trying me. How do we endure people? We pray for a humble spirit, we submit to God and resist the haters and they will flee. Let 'em flee, we don't have to hang around them, but we do have to love them and trust God to touch their hearts. We can either sincerely endure and pray for their salvation so they don't go to hell, or we will end up not enduring and they'll send us to hell. Now it's not a guarantee that they will stop being foolish and become heaven bound, but at least we did what we were suppose to do so we can go to heaven. Endured till the end.
God Bless,

Surprise, Surprise
It's been a while since I have wrote anything. On July 2, 2011 I turned 40 years old and I expected a party from my daughter and niece but nothing. Kat and I did go to Texas Cattle Company and it was delicious, (yum, yum). Well in anticipation of a party that night nothing happen, she took me home and I was in for the night. Well after July 2, I accepted that there was no party and maybe when I turn 45 they can try it again. Well on July 8, 2011 my family and friends pulled off a surprise party for me. Those people told so many lies that Andrea told Vicki "I'm so tired of lying to my mama". So I had to pray and ask God to forgive them all and me too for making them go to these extremes. It was wonderful and I am so glad that I was able to spend such a special occasion with good family and good friends.
Well I wanted to have sent off songs and been picked up by a label by the time I turned 40. Didn't happen. But I am not giving up because the Lord sent word to me not to give up and that people are going to think I am crazy, but don't give up. You mean people will think I am crazier than what they already think. WOW!! It's not over, til God says it's over......Surprise Surprise....God got this....Don't give up!!!
