Recently I was struggling with some responses I have been getting from close relationships of mine. I have struggled my whole life with this horrible guilt over times people are upset with my actions or just plain don't like me. I know isn't it shocking when someone doesn't like you.

                      3 ways to get closer to God

1. Getting old....hahaha! By getting old, you're guaranteed a spot in His presence when you die. Now seriously speaking.....

2. Read His Holy Word......How do you get to know someone you first meet? By sizing them up or "reading" them. You listen to the way they talk, the way they carry themselves, how they look under pressure, how they look relaxed, the subject matter of what they are talking about, and so on. When you read Gods word, you'll find Him to be, a poet, a father, a healer, a king, a warrior, a lover and a friend. There is so much more to Him than that, but you have to find that out by reading for yourself!

3. Intentionally seeking Him.......Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Proverbs 8:17 NIV....I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

Jeremiah 29:11-14... For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart I will be found by you," declares the LORD

God is not hiding! He's out in the open, waiting patiently, JUST FOR YOU!

He wants you to know Him. There are so many voids in our lives that only Jesus can fill completely. We try to stick everything else in there though, don't we? Things like food, television, money,  relationships with other people, sometimes even church! It's like when they fill the potholes on the roadways, and the big trucks come along with all that weight and pull the filling right out and sometimes even make the holes bigger. There is only one thing that is  satisfying enough, only one thing that is big enough to fill those gaps....JESUS. He is the way, the truth, and the life. 

Now, I'm not saying your life will be perfect when you encounter Christ, but I am saying... it will never be the same and it will be better. The rough and tough trials of life won't seem so unbearable or lonely. He's always just a call away and willing to be with YOU.

Praying for you!!

Shut-Up & Pray!!!

                                           SHUT-UP AND PRAY


I was having a discussion with my husband today like any other day. We were going back and forth on the politics of life and church and state and so on and so on. It's easy to just talk about these things or form a complaint, but it changes nothing!! All of a sudden I heard a booming thought in my mind, which i knew was the Holy Spirit....".Just pray"...... Really?  Could it be that simple? Then the scriptures came flooding through...you know the ones, like when Jesus turned the tables over in the temple and said

• And He said to them, "It is written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER '; but you are making it a ROBBERS' DEN." Matthew 28:13

• Isaiah 56:7..Even those I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar ; For my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples."

 

God Will Even Cause Our Disappointments to Bless Us

I have been here so many times before, I have a vision of how something is supposed to run, it goes so smoothly in my mind....

THEN SOMETHING HAPPENS

AND MESSES IT ALL UP!!!!!!!!!!!

I take a deep breathe and remember nothing happens that "messes" GOD's plans up,  

He will even cause our disappointments to bless us!

My Proverbial Grandma

                             My Proverbial Grandma

      As far as I am concerned my Grandmother is a Saint. Her name is Anna, and I'm pretty sure I fell in great love with her from the moment I met her. She is a strong Italian, with a great sense of humor, and very strong opinions. She is the most wonderful cook as well as a fabulous card player. Bingo is her favorite game to play and she loves to teach art classes in her own kitchen. She was there at my birth and has never left my side. I guess you could say, I'm a real Grandmas girl!

       I spent countless hours learning from her great truths about life and love.

The Other Side of Choice

Ughh, we have all been there, that time you struggled with something that felt so humungous, you thought your whole life was going to swallowed up in it. 

Then one day while you were struggling with the "this and that" and the "What not and How Fors" you just DID IT!

You have a decision and POOF! That didn't seem so overwhelming once you were on...

THE OTHER SIDE OF CHOICE!

WHAT AM I HERE FOR?

As I sit here inside my head, I can hear the hustle and bustle of a busy day dissipating. So much to do and so little time to do it in. 

• Why do we bother doing half the things we think are necessary to live in this life? 
• Do we really need to spend hours and hours at the gym? 
• Or shopping at the mall.

THE FRIEND

OF BEING AND HAVING!

As I watch my 4 year old girl play with her friends, I remember being the same way- we all loved being a part of a group of friends who made us feel special. 

Then we grew up, we got busy, yet the need for friendship is as strong & Real now as it was for us all then.

We need other women:

• Who will be with us in our everyday lives, to share our dreams & hopes
• Give us feedback
• Laughing with us
• Enjoying each other presence
• Or someone to cry with us
