FORGIVENESS BRINGS JOY!!!!

Forgiveness calls for a shift in our perception of how we would deal with something that seems wrong to us. It is easier to forgive ourselves and others when we really understand that each of us is constantly fighting a battle of flesh and spirit. Whatever one you feed the most, is the one that rules.


"If we don’t forgive ourselves for our mistakes, and others for the wounds they have inflicted upon us, we end up crippled. You cannot grow under a blanket of self hatred or bitterness because both of these WILL destroy you!!



Then comes to mind the formula of 7 X 70 ...........Sheesh!!! that can be a tough mathematical formula to live by. Yet, it is Gods formula for forgiving my brother or sister or the world for its atrosities.......



Joy is the result of a constant forgiving Christian!! I want forgiveness so I can be forgiven. Forgive us our debts..............as we forgive our debtors......!!! It is the only way to live victorious.

God help me to live what I am preaching today!!!!!

SADNESS!!

…Sadness is painful. We try to avoid it. To hold it in is to freeze the pain within us. The therapeutic slogan is that grieving is the ‘healing feeling.’"

"To weep is to make less the depth of grief."
-- William Shakespeare

"There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and recovered hope."
-- George Eliot

My experience has been to keep it real; be honest to yourself and with yourself and let the greiving process take place in your life. You rip yourself off when you don't allow yourself to grieve.
I has been the only way I can get a healing. Of course with Gods help; but he put grieving as an emotion in me. So I thank him for the healing process via grieving!!!

WALLS OR BRIDGES!!!

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges."

PREACHING!!

This year I was so blessed to be able to watch No Limits at home on my computer. Computers can annoy, frustrate and make me so angry of the time waster they are. But, having No Limits come into my home seems such a blessing.
From the very moment it started until the last image before the network signed it off; my heart was blessed. This sounds like a child, but it seems every year becomes my favorite year of No Limits.
The word......... it has so much power. Deals with us humans. The list is too long to write how the word of God ministers to us. I love preaching!!! I love praying!!! I love worshipping!!!!
Why did God call such a one as me into this marvelous life? Wonder if he was aiming for someone beside me, behind me, in front of me.... and made a mistake.
When I think of what I have all done for him..... thats what makes me think he may have this one time; missed the boat!!
All I can say is "Thank you Jesus" for picking up this wasted, burned out, addicted, fearful woman out of the crowd and for filling me with your spirit. That I could get rid of my spirit. I promise I needed to get rid of mine. It still tries to rear it's ugly head and show it's ugly face from time to time. But only with Gods help; it hits the road and Christ in me the hope and glory rises again.
The Holy Ghost is so real!! If everyone would just try it, there just ain't no going back. I am not being melodramatic..... but I would rather die than to live one day without the Holy Ghost living in me. Had 34 years without him,,,, doing it my way...... what a mess!! Now I have had 25 years with him..... trying to do it his way.... what a joy!!!
I am done rambling.... thank you so much you people that visit this blog. I love you!

MY WISHES FOR LUKE AND COURT!!!!!

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times.

Are we not like two volumes of one book?

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be. -- Robert Browning

Happy and thrice happy are those who enjoy an uninterrupted union, and whose love, unbroken by any sour complaints, shall not dissolve until the last day of their existence.-- Horace

I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance, A church filled with family and friends. I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for, He said one that would make me his wife.-- Author Unknown

In marriage, everyday you love, and everyday you forgive. It is an ongoing sacrament, love and forgiveness.

Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity--everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul.-- Thomas Moore

Now join hands, and with your hands your hearts.-- William Shakespeare.

Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate.-- Barnett Brickner

The sum which two married people owe to one another defies calculation. It is an infinite debt, which can only be discharged through all eternity.-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.-- Martin Luther

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.-- Homer

Two souls with but a single thought,Two hearts that beat as one.-- Friedrich Halm

Two such as you with such a master speed cannot be parted nor be swept away from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.-- Robert Frost

Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same.-- Emily Bronte

NOBODY DO ME LIKE JESUS

How do you explain last night when God came in like a flood and overtook the service?
How do you explain that NOBODY DO ME LIKE JESUS CAN!
How do you explain nothing can compare to him and nothing can touch you like Jesus can?
How do you explain that you have found a new drug; a glorious addiction that won't hurt you!
How do you??

I have a hard time understanding why God would find me in my wicked ungodly state. Bring me into his body and put me in higher places! He is indesribable, uncontainable.... he placed the Stars in the sky and he knows them by name........Yet he placed me in his wonderful Church, knows the very hairs on my head, and he calls me by name.

Oh I am so greatful,
There is no life outside Jesus Christ...
No life.....

NOBODY DO ME LIKE JESUS!!
