man...this is tough. I have been praying for some answers in my personal life, and I believe I got the answer today. Now all I have to do is obey. Easier said than done. How many times have we heard from GOD and didn't listen or obey? What did we miss? What was he trying to get to us? I guess I need to add this to my fear list. LOL. I need to overcome this fear, and quickly! I know that I am going to listen to HIM. I have to. I was reminded last night that no matter what I have to do or decisions I have to make, I am strong enough now to make them! AMEN. I am stronger now. I am wiser now. I am closer to GOD.
TODAY'S GOALS
Today I plan on taking the day off from the world. I am going to stay in the house, watch a couple of movies, listen to some gospel, pray...just have conversations with GOD. I am going to try to not get upset about anything. I can tell you right now, every time I decide to spend quality time with GOD, distraction comes. I am not going to fall for it this time. I am going to laugh and smile in the face of any adversity, trouble or challenge!
I have read my early scriptures today. Just gotta make sure I read the evening scriptures. I just read Mark Chapter 4. In this chapter Jesus breaks down how the Kingdom of God works. I encourage you to take time out and read it. It was good.
TODAY'S MEDITATION
GOD IS THAT YOU? I am going to focus in on hearing from HIM. I am going to make sure I get a confirmation this weekend that I did hear instructions on what I need to do next, and that it was not my emotions playing trick on me.
YESTERDAY'S SUMMARY
Yesterday, I was overwhelmed with compassion. I found out that my friends are hurting! I wanted to run to each of them and take away the pain. I just found out that one of my high
school partners has Terminal Throat Cancer. I had been looking for him for about 2 years now, and no one knew where he was. he is in Vegas now, but there is no way I can get in contact with him, yet. Then there were other people, closer to my circle , who are just going through some things. Things that's been revealed to them since joining the blog. So yesterday, I just had to stay in prayer as much as possible. I had all of you on my mind all day long! Believe me, you are covered.
CHALLENGES/DISTRACTIONS
Yesterday, I had no distractions really. I made sure I put everyone else in the forefront and prayed for them. Today is a whole different story thoguh. LOL to be continued.
SONG OF THE DAY
If I can find a song that fits my mood or todays post, I will surely add it. I can't even hear music right now.....this is different. Actually, I do hear a song..I need to go listen to it. BRB
Ok, i'm back!
"Imagine Me" by Kirk Franklin is a song that made me reflect on my journey. Think about how far we have all come from where we used to be....

Corey,
ReplyDeleteI have totally been when you are. Hear God and know I hear him but that's when I get in trouble and take off running full speed a head putting my hands all over it. Take it from me (quick fast and in a hurry) who is slowing it down or at lease trying to. God won't steer you wrong. Let God guide you the only way he knows how nice and slow. He is the almighty and he has brought you this far he will continue to lead you because you are becoming God like, just the way God wants you and all of us to be. I will continue to pray for you and our Blog family. I will add your friend with cancer to my prayer list.
Have a bless day all.
Love you guys
Thalia
Thank you Thalia. 1- For supporting me and giving me those kind words. And 2-for spelling my name right! I really, really appreciate it :O)
ReplyDeleteI am good. Had a great afternoon. Working on having a great evening.
Questions.. so many questions? My goal today was to get through the day without too many tears. I went to the beach and reflected.... I actually "drop by" the beach every day i get a few moments :-) it's so my favorite place...
ReplyDeletemy 24 hours goals are to listen to God and what he wants me to do next about creating a buzz for the kid's record.... practice two songs for the church service i am booked for tomorrow.... relax at the beach Sunday after church
my obstacles have been "excuses" - reasons not to exercise, eat right, keep my head up, have faith.... EXCUSES. i bind excuses in my life in the name of Jesus!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Thalia - I receive (for myself) the words of encouragement you offered to Corey (I KNOW God has brought me this far and he will continue to lead me.)
I have been following and interceding and have seen answers to my questions come to me in some of your comments. THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to share something...
My TV blew out some weeks ago and even though I could replace it, SOMEONE told me not to. For the past few weeks I have been meditating, reading and talking with God. On Wednesday I had to run an errand before work. I got up and heard "Fast" I proceeded to get ready, ate and started to walk to my appointment. I passed a church that I have passed many times, but as I passed my eyes latched on to the lock on the gate. I then heard "One Day". I think at that moment, that was a turning point for a lot of things in my life. God was letting me know that I need to get myself right (FAST) because "one day" I may not be able to get the word or encouragement that I need because the church will be spiritually locked.
Corey- I know it is tough sometimes, believe me I know, but don't give up. Keep your eyes on the prize. I am confident that you will hear "WELL DONE"
I challenge everyone to plug out their TV for a weekend and let God have his way:)
Please keep me in your prayers.
Be blessed
Patricia
Hey...Corey I pray that you listen and obey and yeild not temptation...I would like to share this you. About four months ago I believed that God was telling me to do something (which it seem as though God test me alot in this area lately). This thing seemed like the hardess thing to do, so much that I could feel my body physically shaking at the thought of it. Fear had took over. I was in church one sunday waiting to have corp..prayer and I started thinking about this thing... fear took over this lady who I had never seen before pass and then came back over to me and said you look like you need a hug...she gave me a hug and left...she came over to me again and said "Have Courage And You Will See That THINGS Will WORK OUT FOR YOU". Then heard the voice of God say to me "DO WHAT I ASK YOU DO" . I did it and I know that I have liberty from that thing. So I am Passing on to you what the woman told me ...."HAVE COURAGE AND THINGS WILL WORK OUT FOR YOU " When you are sure of what he is telling you to do...be obedient and you will have liberty.. I am still dealing with a number of fears but I can honesty say I am not in fear of that one.
ReplyDeletekbrenai my prayers are with you and your brother and everybody on your prayer list.
Thalia, my prayers are with you and your daughter... I know it is easy for her I also have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome so I understand. The first good thing is that we serve a that Heals and the other good thing is that you found out about this thing while she is still young so that you can stay on top of things to pervent damage to her body....Can you tell her for me that I know all these strange things are happening to her body but she is a beautiful little girl and she is going to growing into a beautiful women and all that she is going through might be so that she can help and encourage someone else one day.
I with you on that one Patricia.
Terry I hope all is well with you.
Pray for me that I will not yeild to the temptation of fear or let depression set in.
Pray for my family that generational curses and vicous cycle stop now . Sorry yall haven't been on in a day or two.. playing catch up. God bless Tamia
