Faith...


Attitude...

After a few "happenings" in my personal life this past weekend, I noticed that I was Not liking my attitude. 

I had been blessed with a couple days of serene peace of mind and then suddenly I knew that I was on a slippery slope and very much needing an attitude change.  How quickly my "peace" turned into "unrest".  I heard in my spirit... 
"It's about your attitude".  

Years back when I became pregnant for the second time, my first born was only 7 months old.  I had a difficult experience with that birth and was now again pregnant.  At that time I worked as a stenographer at a booming business and the secretary of the President of our company seemed to not want any children.  When she discovered I was pregnant again she acted almost appalled.  She looked at me with disdain.  I won't forget her statement after looking at me with pity and the question "Why?".  She said, 

"Well... I guest it's about your attitude right?"

Little did she know that statement would again sound in my head many years later.  This weekend I rehearsed that scene in my mind.  This morning upon waking I clicked into a Random Rhema and it read as follows...

"Love feels no burden, values no labors, would willingly do more than it can, complains not of impossibilities, because it conceives that it may and can do all things; when weary is not tired; when strained is not constrained; when frightened is not disturbed; but like a living flame and torch all on fire, it mounts upwards and securely 
passes through all opposition."

Immediately after finishing this post, I was going to push "publish" when I looked up at this car commercial on the television.  Amazingly I had already incorporated the tire quote and the fixing of the flat tire pictures in my post when I looked up at the television and saw a car commercial whereby a father and his children are driving fast to catch a race his wife was running in.  He was averting many obstacles.  They arrive and they all cheer for her while she runs her race and at the end it is heard... "Empower the drive."  The commercial is called "On The Run"...


Enough said.

The Test...


We will never stop waiting on You, Lord. 
We will never stop believing.
We will never walk away.
You Lord, are our strength.

We will finish our race strong!

We love You Lord!

To my sister and mother... we Will finish strong!  Keep going!
Keep the Faith!

Heard in the night...

"If you're sitting on the sidelines, you're not playing in the game."

God Bless!

Father's Love Letter...



Words!

Below is an excerpt from a recent article written by Msgr. Charles Pope "A Reflection of Common Sins of Speech"...

"Some of the most common sins we commit are related to speech:  gossip, idle chatter, lies, exaggerations, harsh attacks and uncharitable remarks.  With our tongue we can spread hatred, incite fear and maliciousness, spread misinformation, cause temptation, discourage, teach error and ruin reputations.  With a gift capable of bringing such good, we can surely cause great harm!"

See the entire article here... Bite Your Tongue!

Oh Lord, help us to only speak words of Life!


May you have a Blessed Day 
filled with words that build you and others UP!

Dwell Alone With Jesus

Here is a Random Rhema I clicked into recently...

"My child, few men live in peace of conscience and spiritual joy because few love to withdraw from the crowd and dwell alone with Jesus."

Also Lana Vawser had a word impressed upon her.  Go here... Write It All Down And You Will Go Deeper Than You Have Ever Been

On a recent weekend we were extremely busy, it actually was hectic.  We had many obligations and was running from one obligation to the next.  Even though we had a nice time, I sensed heavily in my spirit a need to actual take a shower upon returning home.  I asked...

"Why do I feel as if I have picked up filth in a spiritual sense and need to wash it off of me?  I feel as if I have picked up much dirt from this world."

As I showered I asked, "O' Lord, cleanse me!"

Then I randomly opened "Jesus Lives" (By Sarah Young) to this below.  Here's an excerpt...

"Do not underestimate the brokenness of the world where you live now.  Your exuberant enjoyment of My Presence will always intermingle with the sorrows of living in this fallen world until I take you into Glory."

Oh Lord, rather than all the busyness of this world, I would much rather dwell alone with You.




Give...

Hope...

Patience...


My Child...


"I am the Lord Who gives strength in the day of trouble.  Come to Me when all is not well with you.


Your tardiness in turning to prayer is the greatest obstacle to heavenly consolation, for before you pray earnestly to Me you first seek many comforts
 and take pleasure in outward things.  


Thus, all things are of little profit to you until you realize that I am the One Who saves those who trust in Me, and that outside of Me there is
no worth while help, or any useful counsel or lasting remedy."

Thomas a Kempis
