The Bombing of Boston

It makes me sick that someone thought it would be okay to shoot up people with homemade bombs on the shores of the United States.

Are we on the verge of another 911? Or are we on the verge of a civil war? Or are we dealing with some sick people who need to be locked up and have the key thrown away?

Is security on your mind tonight? Are you wondering where this world is heading especially in America? If you have read the bible just once, you should be able to read the signs of the time. We are close to something major happening.

What is about to take place is possibly the full blown tribulation or the return or Jesus Christ; possibly both. All I know is this world is going to hell in a hand basket and its a crazy life outside of Jesus. However if your still breathing and I'm stilling breathing and the clouds haven't parted than we must find a way to live on this planet until Jesus makes His trumpet return.

We must get serious and start to seek His face not only for ourselves but for America, I heard Perry Stone say we don't need a restoration but a reformation of American. We need to reform our government, our laws, our schools, and our way of life. We need to quite making light of things as we drink a drink and smoke a smoke or light up like a Christmas tree because we have some weed we just got off the thug on the street corner.

We need to put down the drink, stop keeping up with the Kardasian's, and stop being like the Jones. We need to hit our knees and be willing to sit in a service and wait until He speaks on our part to change this nation. We must be willing to work a little bit, pray a little harder, and speak less, and love more.

We must get the Creator of the universe back into the picture and let Him arise in America, in the world, and ourselves. Nothing is going to change unless we become like Jacob and wrestle with God and don't let Him go until He blesses America again.

We must get serious and get God involved or otherwise, these kinds of things will continue to happen. We must remember just like pervious generations will have to stand and be accounted for what happen during their lifetime, so will we. My hope and prayer is we will get it and get serious and the next thing that goes off is the movement of Christ and His Spirit that will touch every town, every state, and then every country in the world.

God Bless.

No One Has The Right

Dreams are what make life worth living. Everyone has them and everyone wants them to come true. The problem is not everyone's dream becomes a reality. Every person who has ever walked on the face of this earth has dreamed big dreams.

Yet unlike many of us, we are not willing to do whatever it takes to make them come true. We allow others to steal, crush, or make light of what we hold dear to our hearts. No one has that right. No one should have that power to control another person. God didn't give us a person to rule and hover over us and dictate our every move we make but He gave us a free will to choose who, what, and how our life would play out.

What we need to remember and get a handle on is once something gets deep into our spirits, we have an obligation to seek it out and pursue it with every thing in us. God said in His word that He didn't give us a spirit of fear but of power and love and to live above and beyond what we could think or ask.

So I have to ask, even myself included, if this is the case then why don't I see more of my dreams coming true and why am I not living above and beyond, in essence, the good life? I have allowed others by their words, actions, and deeds to come into my life and close the door to all my hopes and dreams.

I have allowed myself to believe in what others think of me instead of relying on what God thinks of me and who He says I can be. I have forgotten that He has a plan for my life and I have forgotten to seek His face for it.

So what I am proposing is we get back to the basics and close our mind off to others and quit allowing them access to our hopes and dreams and replace it with a fire and purpose to seek God and His righteousness and His plan for our lives and see where that leads us.

God Bless

The Bible Series

I didn't get a chance to watch the Bible on the History Channel when it came out so like all the other people who have DVR's I set mine to record the series. Anxious to watch it but to busy or maybe to lazy to watch it, I haven't watched it up until now.

However, in the mean time, I had gone to a bible study on the invitation of my aunt. While there, the Bible series become the topic of discussion. Eager to hear what the others might be thinking about it I sat a little straighter and open my ears to hear what they had to say.

Once the conversation got going, and I heard what people were saying, I began to get a pang in my spirit. I was shocked and appalled to listen to the words that was coming out of their mouths. Complaints, how dare they, it's not scripture, and who those kinds of shows do more evil than good and there is no way it follows the bible.

They talked about how the whole thing was surmised and not true. As the time went on, I noticed all they did was surmised about things in the bible. What Joseph must have thought when Mary got pregnant. What? Did I hear right? Yes I did.

What I have learned since then and now even as I watch the Bible series, I realize just how much surmising gets us in trouble. Surmising is brings trouble into our lives and opens unwanted doors that are left unopened. Surmising is more dangerous then judging others and we do it without thinking.

We think we know one thing and know how to fix the problems of the world. Surmising opens up the mouth and gives the tongue the right to spout out things that are better left unsaid. Surmising hurts people, especially the ones we love. It brings on hatred and allows strife to enter in and make a muck out of our lives.

So one thing is in need, take surmising out your vocabulary and make it a thing of your past.

God Bless.

Special Time of the Year

Everyone has a time in the year that is meaningful to them. Some would say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year but let's not forget Thanksgiving and and all that turkey and pumpkin pie.

Others would think New Years Day with all the bowl games on television to be a dream come true and who doesn't like spring and summer? The beach is calling their name indeed. But for me, Easter is very special and this year is no exception.

However, this year has started out with a bang and so much has been thrown at me, I feel a little over whelmed with grief and sorrow, frustration and anger.

I've been betrayed by my daughter, learned my brother has cancer and doesn't seem to want to fight, and my heart has been destroyed by the one person I love more than life itself.

As Easter approaches I find myself needing something of a pick-me-up. Something that will raise me from the dead and bring life back into this heart and soul. What exactly am I looking for? Something only Jesus can bring me. Something that He already has done. A gift so precious that will set all the wrongs back in order and send them back to where they belong.

A gift once open will forever change the course of your life and returns won't be an option. A gift that can be shared with others. A gift having a return on investment bigger than anything the stock market could ever bring your way.

A gift with a promise of ever lasting life giving you the secret to the fountain of youth. A gift that was so graciously given by the King of Kings and The Lord of Lords and all He ask in return is for you to believe on Him and His resurrection and your willingness to give Him a little bit of your time, love, and devotion.

What is this gift? His death and want He accomplished on a cross on Friday afternoon. He gave it all while doing it all for you and for me. I would say it doesn't get any better than this and in a season of time such as this, it would stand to reason Easter should be everyone's special time of the year.

God Bless and Happy Easter.

Every Love Story

I once saw a saying on a back of an IPhone case and I immediately loved it:



 

Every Love Story is Beautiful,

But Ours is My Favorite

 

Do you have a love story? Do you have someone in your life that makes everything worth while?

Is there someone in your life giving you a reason to wake up and face the day? Is there someone who you can't stop thinking about or is receiving much of your attention minute after minute? Is there someone who you think you can't live without and if they were to leave, you would just die?

 

Seeing it is Valentines Day and the world is focused on love, I would like to add my two cents in worth. I have someone who makes my heart stop when he looks at me. I have someone who isn't embarrassed in being seen in public with me. I have that someone special who thinks I'm the most beautiful woman in the world and doesn't think I need to change a thing. I have a prince of a man who comes home to me every night and patiently waits for me to start the adventure of life out with him each morning.

 

He's become my soul mate and my best friend. No matter what happens around us, I now know I can count on him. I wouldn't change my life with him no matter. It hasn't been the easy but I can now tell you it's been well worth it and we are moving into a time in our lives where we are moving in agreement, friendship, and a greater, deeper love.

 

The problem: Others. What others think about our relationship. Family members who can't stand one of us. Confidence in our self so we can rise above those who talk and judge us.

 

Solution: Growing deeper in love and allowing God's love to reign supreme in our relationship. For without the greatest Lover, Friend, Counselor, Companion, and the Savior of all time we would not be celebrating this Valentines Day as a couple.

 

In fact, we would probably be Divorce Court or the Jerry Springer Show screaming at each other like a banshee. We have had so many ups and downs in our marriage it is indeed a miracle we still like each other.

 

So, if you are like how we were just a year ago, hating your spouse, disappointed in one another, and the trust has flown out the window, may I suggest you turn to the Greatest Valentine to ever to walk the face of the earth. He's waiting for you to ask Him to come into your love life and change it upside down. Believe me, it will be worth it for in the end, isn't it for He's Glory anyway?

 

God Bless.

Time Off

There comes a time when you need to take some time off to get your life in perspective. I have to admit, I may have gone a little overboard. I may have been boarding on a deep depression and if I would have allowed myself to go there, I am not sure I would be able to return to the living.

There may have been even times when I allowed myself to pray that God would take my life for I wondered what the point to it was anyway. I can honestly say, I only have myself to blame. I have a dream. But unlike Martin Luther King, I am not willing to lay down my life for it.

I know what I just said before and yes, I have contradicted myself. You see, I was having a pity party and usually when a person has a pity party, they say things they don't really mean. Unlike Martin's version, I am not willing to let go of everything I believe in for my cause.

However, I am willing to get back onto the saddle again, allowing God to take the ropes, start back from where I left off, conquer some fears and misconceptions I have about me. I am now one step closer to not allowing what people think about or say about me bother me.


So I am going to take it one day at a time. Rest when I need to and see where this all takes me.

God Bless.
