God Is. . .


This week, I've really been thinking about how REAL God has been/ is in my life.  I've been telling people that in the last few months, I've just feltextremely blessed.  At first, I wondered, "Have I done anything special to deserve this?  What's the meaning behind this?"  LOL.  After a while, I came across a scripture that I've heard for a long time. . .
"Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. -Psalm 37: 4-5"
It was as though a light bulb came on and everything made sense.  I truly am striving to live holy and please God!  That's not to say that I'm sospecial or important, but I believe that God has honored that.  It's funny to think of how people come to me and say, "You're always smiling!"  I can truly say that it is because of GOD!  The joy of the Lord is my strength--> so why should I be sad???  I've just continued to pray that whatever God has for me. . . I'll be in a position to receive it.  I never want to take anyone/ anything for granted.  I believe that everything happens for a reason.  And I'm just grateful for what God's done for me and WHO HE IS in my life!
*Anyone that knows me, knows how much I LOVE MUSIC!  These songs have just really been on my heart, so I thought I would include them--> I truly believe they express how I feel, right now.
God Is- James Cleveland
God is: *my protection *my guide and direction
God is my all in all

God is:* my joy in time of sorrow  *my today and tomorrow
God is my all in all

God is the JOY and the STRENGTH of MY LIFE
He moves ALL pain, misery, and strife
He promised to KEEP ME, NEVER TO LEAVE ME 
He's NEVER ever come short of His word

I've got to fast and pray, STAY in His narrow way
I've got to keep my life clean everyday
I WANT TO GO WITH HIM WHEN HE COMES BACK
I'VE COME TOO FAR and I'LL NEVER TURN BACK

God is. . .  
God is my all in all!

You Called Me Friend- Fred Hammond
Perfect and true
Pure in all your ways
O Lord, there is none else like you, no one like you
And all these things keep me in awe of you
And I'm overwhelmed that you would call me friend
What is man that thou art mindful of him?
Could an awesome God find common ground within?
Just to know that you delight to be with me
Fills my heart, with so much joy

Ruler of everything
You are creator, Lord and King
Willingly. . . you have taken my debt as your own
I would gladly give all to be a servant or a slave
AND I'm overwhelmed that you would call me friend

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face...

I Can't Buy It!

"They are trying way too hard." Have you ever watched a tv show/movie or had a conversation with someone and thought that?  Sometimes it could be a matter of trying to create a sense of chemistry that isn't there or maybe one person is trying to impress another.  It's quite interesting to me. . . I remember having a conversation with my uncle, a few years ago.  We were discussing the various ways that people may treat PKs (preacher's kids).  Sometimes people feel extremely comfortable talking to me- when they find out that my father is a pastor.  ( At times, they become a little too comfortable and I start to feel like their therapist. . . I love to offer encouraging words though.  And I appreciate the fact that they trust me enough to share things with me. )  Other people seem to close up.  It's as though they think I'll scrutinize their every move :-/.  I promise- I'm a sweetheart :-). THEN. . . we have those people who end up being ...
