So now that I have heard from GOD directly (see DAY 6), I am really looking forward to Him speaking to me again....directing my path again...giving me specific instructions. I have been so stuck on trying to hear from Him, I almost didn't hear You!
I am in constant communication with alot of you, and at one time or another, you've said how much the blog has blessed you. How you've shared personal things with strangers. The ironic part is that someone on this blog has been going thru a similar situation as you at the exact same time. You guys have trusted me and the other family members with your hearts, your fears, your triumphs, your defeats, and your joy's! We've celebrated, laughed, and cried together! Its only been 21 days!!!!!!!!!!
I have heard of people recognizing issues and challenges, and then being brave enough to face them. I hear people excited about overcoming adversity. I hear people saying THANK YOU. I hear people asking for HELP and getting it. This is soooo much bigger than one mans personal journey to get closer to GOD. It's about all of us. I got a text today that said I inspired them to read their bible. Do you know how much that touched me? I have gotten emails, and phone messages from people telling me that they look forward to reading the blog everyday, even thought they don't post any comments. I HEAR YOU.
I hear you Lord, speaking through these people. I hear the CONFIRMATIONS through these people. When I felt alone and abandoned by the people who I thought would stick to me closer that a glove, you sent someone to tell me what a great job the blog was doing in their lives! I HEAR YOU. When someone asked for prayer for a small child, we heard, and obeyed, and got immediate results! I HEAR YOU. When someones child had a unique disease, you put someone in their path who has been through it or going through it in their path to help comfort that parent and give advice. I HEAR YOU. When someone said they were going to go to church every Sunday, you sent someone in their path that said," I'm gonna go to church with you!" When someone is hurting from the loss of a loved one, you put interceders within arms reach for them. Prayer warriors who's heart goes out to the hurting, and who took it upon themselves to remind the hurt that we are with you, you have support! I HEARD THAT TOO. I hear people losing the word TRY from their vocabulary! I hear positive affirmations. I hear people saying what they ARE and not what they USED to be! I hear you LORD when you say WE WIN!!!!!!
TODAY'S GOALS
Today my goal was simple, just make it to church! I have a hard time sleeping on Saturday nights and I knew that getting up in the morning was going to be tough. God is so good though. He woke me up without the alarm clock this morning. Renewed my strength...gave me so much energy, I ran around all day!
TODAY'S MEDIATION
I am just curious....I know God is no respecter of person, so what has HE been saying to you? Yesterday, I asked-God is that You? And HE told me today that HE has never stopped talking to me! HA!!!!! PRAISE GOD YA'LL!!!!
What has HE been saying to you through other people? Directly to you? Just take a minute and focus......Then please feel free to share it in the comments section!
YESTERDAY'S SUMMARY
Yesterday was a good day over all. I got more praying done yesterday than I usually do. It just kicks in every time I get into my car now. Its on automatic. I did get a few more prayer request, and I'll be adding them tonight.
CHALLENGES/DISTRACTION
Yesterday, I wrote that I new there were going to be challenges to my day, I was right. I had to have a heart to heart with someone, and it wasn't easy. I wasn't trying to hurt their feelings, but I had to be honest. I used to hold back how I felt for fear of hurting their feelings, but sparing their feelings left me kinda numb. So I was able to communicate exactly how I felt, and I believe it was received well.
BUILD-BREAK-BUILD
I am very much more aware of the presence of GOD.
I can get better with my language. When I get mad, I curse. I am working on it.
(UGH! There, I said it!)
I was able to council a friend and then have it confirmed through her reading-It was on point!
SONG OF THE DAY

Sunday was a good day... My daughter and I went to church and did mother and daugher things. We cooked and baked together. We were at peace.
ReplyDeleteCorey, I am a walking and breathing testimony on how God has worked though you to show me his ways. Yes there have been times I have heard God, wasn't sure if it was him or not but I wouldn't "Be still" long enough to hear his confirmation or as I have learn he sends angels to confirm his words but I was too hardheaded to take heave as to what was was said or didn't like what I heard and so I kept being passed by. I am here to tell you I am learning to be still. "Peace Be Still" I am learning to be quiet and listen, I am learning to take it slow, go with the flow, it will happen. It's hard because it's something I'm not use too but I'm not giving up this time, Because I trust in the Lord with all my heart. God asnwers all Prayer no matter how big or how small. He makes no mistakes we just have to be patience and wait.
Tamia, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thank God for sending you to me to give me the encouraging words I needed to continue to encourage my daugher. We will not let this illness get us down instead it will give us the drive to push on. Again Thank you.
Kbrenai, You hang in there, God is not done with you yet.
Terry I hope you are well. Haven't heard from you in a while.
I have a challenge for my Blog Family... This Wednesday starts Lent Season. A 40day period of penitence. Some churches ask that we either fast or give up something that is dear to our hearts or a habit we can't stop. This is a way of showing God we are giving up something that is precious to us just like God gave up something that was precious to him... He gave his son Jesus for us, for all our sins. Lent goes from this Wednesday 2/25 (Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday)My daugher and I will be giving up all Potatoes. I figure this will help with our diet. Less Carbs mean loose weight which will help our health in the long run. I will be giving up chocolate as well. Corey I know you want to give up donuts, so are you down with the challenge? Yes, this will be a bit hard at first, but anything worth having is worth the hard work and God is worth it, isn't he?
Will leave everyone today affirmation
Subject: Daily Affirmation for February 23, 2009
When someone wrongs us, the first thing we want to do is seek revenge. However, God’s Word says, “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord”. So, let’s follow God’s instruction and let Him handle it! Be Blessed!!!
Romans 12:16-19
Love you guys and have a blessed day!

ReplyDeleteYo....why you gotta go there with the donuts!!!! Shoot. I know I got a problem, but its Dunkin Donuts SPECIFICALLY. I can say NO to donuts. I can say no! (ya'll pray for me)
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that this blog has helped me through my “introvert” status! It has been very difficult to share my pain and my sensitivities….. I have been one to always help others – but never ask for help. So, I thank all of you for allowing me to feel ‘family comfortable”!!!
ReplyDeleteThalia, I am planning to fast for 2 weeks at the closing of our 28 days to reflect on how far God has brought me and to get clarity on where he is leading! For Lent I wanted to prepare for that two weeks by give up some of the things I feel are holding me back…. Particular foods and drink…. (white flour pasta and caffeine – Diet Dew to be exact) but I may also give up simple pleasures like talking on the phone instead of sleeping! I am also planning to ‘die to self’ and allow God to take over…. Whew I hope I make it through the Season of Lent >>>>>
Tamia, thank you for your never ending prayers
Terry, your prayers during my times of pain are truly heart-felt
To everyone – these are the final days!!! Let’s amp up and make it count.
