Funny How Life Works.

2014

Funny how so many things change throughout the years and some stay the same…….. It passes by so fast sometimes  you forget to stop and breathe  and  enjoy life where you are at. You get lost in the stress and struggles that often come.

2017

I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I am far from perfect.  Honestly I have almost more questions than answers. I truly trust God because I know He cares. I don’t  just say that.  It is true! He’s been with me through ups and downs through miracles and trials. That’s why I continue to fight and strive for an abundant life no matter what I face….

I don’t give up easy and I strive to encourage to lift up people. Especially when you are close to me. Even when I am in the mist of struggles, there’s always a stuggle, and we’re  called to pray for one another.   -James 5:16

I believe in looking for the silver lining and prayer for God to make ways when the paths seem hidden. -Isaiah 43:19. I am far from perfect but I strive to grow, stay strong, positive and hopeful ☺️. I don’t want to live a life of fear or regret.

When I don’t understand or know what to do next I try to make the most of it even though it may be hard. I love with all my heart because that is how God made me. I believe God loves us all and gave us unique telents. Sometimes our talents / gifts can be overwhelming and annoying at times. That is why I believe that we should treat others how we want to be treated.   -Luke 6:31

“So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.” -James: 5:9-10

If we mess up we should say sorry. Think about how Jesus Christ treats us and how you want to be theated? I don’t hold gruges or unforgiveness because I strive not too. It is an act of my will. My choice. No one is perfect and fighting / disagreements are a part of life. I can’t say that enough. As long as theres no abuse or safety issues ask God how to work things out with the peoplewhoarein your life. If theres abuse and saftey issues  ask God for wisdom and direction  to get the help you need.

Please don’t let disagreements and diffrences harm relationships / friendships. Friendships,  relationships,  family,  marriage, courtship is important….  Don’t let them just dissolve if there’s a way to fix them especiallyif there’s love ❤️! 

They are precious commodities… We are called to fellowship and to build eachother up… We are not called to tear eachother  down or cause drama.  There  was a reason  God made Eve for Adam. -Genesis 2:22-24. He didn’t want us to be alone. We are stronger together then separated.  History  poroves this trure. ❣️

If you are alone physically you are not alone  like you may feel…. Jesus  Christ is always with you  if you choose.  I have countless  stories and  truths  of that  in my personal life.  I have overcome  more than I  could  or should have numerous times.  From moving a sofa, to waking from a brain dead coma….. 

Me 1993

Jesus came to bring Life and to bring it Abundantly no matter what the enemy throws at you. I have been looking back at the past as I do every April in reflection and  deep prayer for the future.  I am no where where I want to be  tho I’ve done a lot, traveled a lot, and experienced a lot.  I feel twice my age…. I have been struggling with stuff physically, emotionally,  financially. And spiritually. I have been in a way stuk in a rut. Yet in that rut I’ve become stronger and wiser. As so you can be too. We can’t  control others nor would I want to. The beauty of  people is  everyone is unique and different than you are. You can’t always  control your  life situations or finances. Yet you can  control your own mind, choices and your words. Your words have power!

Please take time to look around and see the beauty surrounding you. Take time to pray and study the Bible if you choose to believe in God / Jesus and the HolySpirit.  And most of all remember that you are loved, you matter and are treasured even if you can’t  see it is true.

Have a great day and stay safe Strong and kind.

My Heart Hurts

My heart hurts 💔 from all the killings & innocent children. I  wonder why there is stricter protection at the schools & why don’t they not closely monitor or allow people who cause such crimes to roam free when they obviously had proof of being dangerous 🤔 They almost always say there were signs. If they see something suspicious why not check into it? I don’t want to be like other countries like Asia and Europe where they have cameras everywhere monitoring people all the time. Although maybe it is needed in schools? Maybe the Bible and morals should be taught more at home and in schools. God gave us “The Ten Commandments” for a reason. It is impossible to keep them all, especially without Jesus in our lives but it gives us a chart of what not to do.

Seriously it’s not about gun control it’s about the police and schools doing their job to protect the staff and students. Taking away guns won’t stop determined people who wish to kill. There’s plenty of other ways to do that. If one is set on doing evil they will find a way. So focus on vetting and upping security better?! What can the school teachers and such do that they aren’t now? I am not judging only God and they really know. But shouldn’t we all be asking?

All these mass and non-mass shootings not just at schools but at stores etc. They are pushing and causing havoc and are encouraging people to stay home and home-school their children. Two mass shootings within a week? They used to be so rare…. Now they are so often people don’t give them much thought. We not only live in a world in distress right now we live in a time where people are not held accountable for their actions and words. Asif it is ok to be mean and hurtful… We do not live in “The Hunger Games” although sometimes it feels like that. Especially these recent times and with the extra health debates and concerns more people are turning against each other. What can we do to help prevent these? I ask God that constantly. I am always praying for my loved ones and friend’s safety and my own especially during big holidays and events…… We shouldn’t have to live in fear? This is truly sad……… I can not imagine the pain these families are going through….. Especially knowing it could have been stopped…

It really doesn’t matter what side you are on Violence is never the answer in my opinion… If you are: Left, Right, Middle, Whatever the color of your skin is, or what faith you have… They are not valid reasons to kill over! The “faiths” that consider killing others is okay sickens me and shouldn’t exist!!! That is my personal opinion. Everyone has a unique way of thinking and their own personal opinions. That is what makes everyone unique & truly special! If we all thought the same life would be boring and lack color. Differences make life more … Full and Abundant!

PLEASE ❤️ Stop Hatred & start loving others despite their differences Everyone matters. I can not say that enough!! You don’t have to agree with everyone but Violecnece is not the answer! If you cannot agree then agree to disagree or just walk away. I have seen so many relationships and friendships end over fights started with differences of opinions that are valid yes. Everyone’s feelings are valid and important! It pains me to see these end over issues that I feel could have been resolved and the relationship can be saved with some kindness. Some love and some appreciation of everyone’s uniqueness go a long way! I know there are people out there who don’t believe that Jesus is Lord as truly as I do. I am not here to debate that today. I am here to ask you to share more kindness and love to others. I don’t share the same beliefs or ideas as some of my friends- we still love each other! When you value and care about people truly, their differences aren’t the reason to end the relationship unless the person intends harm to others and isn’t just venting. Our words and actions speak volumes. We are always being watched by others if we want to be or not we are setting examples and levels for those around us to live by.

Getting back on topic: Government – Christians – You – it is your job to stop promoting division and focus on bringing people together. THE BIBLE TEACHES STRONGLY ABOUT THE POWER OF LOVE & STANDING TOGETHER ❤️ THE GOVERNMENT was set up to protect & provide for its people, not personal agendas. That’s why we have the Declaration of Independence and the justice system was created.

It doesn’t matter if you believe Jesus lived & died because He loved you- John 3:16 Or if you believe in God at all, tho I hope you do. What matters is you treat others with respect, kindness & compassion. It is our job as believers to build others up and share Christ’s Love. Jesus loves everyone even tho He wasn’t happy about everyone’s life choices. We are not perfect, yet He died so we could be free from the darkness of evil. So that we could live a life full of life. John:10:10 Because every single life is precious & important!!!! We should work to resolve misunderstandings and save valuable relationships. We should work to spread kindness and end hatred. Learn to forgive more and not to hold grudges. They are poison more for you than for others. Proven to cause illnesses and harm more than good. It isn’t easy for sure that is why it is work. Don’t choose to be mean, angry, resentment, or violent. Words can do just as much harm as a physical attack… Be accountable for your actions and your words.! It truly takes courage to show compassion and understanding. To be open to listen and to love despite differences!

-my rant is done-

💕 I really appreciate you all. Your encouragement means a lot! God Bless You Today and Always! 💕

You’r Never Alone

ღ♥ღ Ladies/ Men there is one Person who Loves you unconditionally and will never leave you no matter what, He is always with you, and only a call away.

His name is Jesus Christ!! ღ♥ღ

You are never alone, He is always with you through all you suffer and enjoy!! The man / Woman, God gives us a mate to share out physical, emotional connection on earth. to fill that lonely vibe. But Jesus can reach the depths of your heart that no one else can… No matter how wonderful the love you have with your “special someone” Is. With Jesus in your Conner that love you have if you have it is amplified.. If you don’t have it yet, don’t give up it will come in due time. Let Jesus love you while you wait..

Your never alone, unless you  wanna be. I know it feels like the loneliness is to much at times and you may not be able to survive the pain… Been there  done that… But God’s Abundant love filled holes in my heart I never knew I had.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:or every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. ~Mathew 7:7-8

Don’t value your worth on if you have someone special or not. Because you are special, a real gift, a Joy!!  No one is perfect, so don’t call yourself a loser or other names.

“For all have fallen short of the Glory of God.” Romans 3:23

 God does not make mistakes!  He made you.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations. ~Jeremiah 1:5

He loves you and if you let Him, He has a plan for you. One with Love and all things Good.. Even in the mist of your worst times. God is by your side ready to lift you up, to carry your burdens, and to give you  what you need. Just ask!!

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. ~Jeremiah 31:3

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. ~Titus 3:4-7
