A Real Friend

I have always prayed and asked God to move people out of my life that should not be in my life and connect me with people that should be in my life. I was so blessed by a very dear friend of mine today! I have known her for over 10 years and about 4 years ago she moved away. We don't talk every day. We don't talk every week. Sometimes it will be month or more before we talk but it seems like everytime I am going thru something my phone will ring and it will be her and God will use her to speak a word to me that will turn my whole thinking process around! She testifies the same thing of me. I thank God for her! Yes. God can use anyone but I thank Him for answering my prayer of putting special people in my life that help me along this journey! God know who to use to bless you!

Timing

I haven't written in a few days. Whoa! Honestly, I have had so much going on that I have walked past this computer and kept on going! LOL. Yesterday I was having a 'moment'. I asked God some questions! As I laid on my bed with my Bible lying beside me...I decided to open it! LOL. It fell open to Joel 2. Whoa. God led me to this same scripture a few years ago. God said He would restore unto me the years that the locust has eaten!!!! He reminded me again of that very scripture as an answer to the question that I asked Him. He is such a LOVING GOD!!! To bring it home even more I flipped the tv and stopped on Joel Olsteen. I stopped. Awesomely he was speaking on exactly what I was questioning God about!!!! Whoa AGAIN!!! My mind was blown! Praise God!! But, wait, God it's been about TWO YEARS since you sent me that scripture!!! When am I going to see it manifest!!! Ahhhh!!! People, God is all about timing and 100% of the time, HIS TIME AIN'T OURS!! We can fret, cry, pout and make a complete mess trying to make something happen in OUR timing but until GOD SAYS SO....it will NOT happen. Now...I don't care what the world around you is doing. And trust me...the world around you can seem to be running circles around you and applying pressure but if you know you've done all that you can..you need to just stand and trust and see the salvation of the Lord. Now, I'm not saying stand and wait for your blessing to fall out of the sky..faith without works is dead but if you are working, standing and believing..God will come to see about you. He has perfect timing in all things and if you have entrusted yourself in His hands...He is NOT going to let you miss ANYTHING you are supposed to get! HE has a plan. There is always a reason why He does what He does and it's not to harm us. So stop fretting. God has you. Keep moving, keep hoping, keep believing.. make sure you're doing what God has told you to do!! Don't do something because everyone else is doing it! Don't expect Him to bless you on Glory Lane when you are supposed to be on Praise Lane!!! Seek Him, Find out where you are supposed to be and work to getting there! The blessing is in the going in faith...the blessing is in the place that HE has SENT you!! Again...His timing is not ours. Let's learn to wait on God!!!

Wanna Take A Break From Your Destiny?

Sunday, I started watching a movie. I didn't finish it but it was an action movie where a man was called to be a "Librarian". But, he was a "special librarian". Only He could do that specific job and his job was to guard and protect precious and valuable artifacts of World History. His job required him to travel all over the world to exotic and dangerous places because there was always evil trying to steal these artifacts to use them for evil. Well, he got tired. He broke down and told his mentor that the job he had was preventing him from having a normal life. He wanted to be settled and he was tired of travel. He was BURNED OUT and he was ready to walk away. Well, he decided to 'get away' from his calling. He went to the other side of the world to get away from his life and guess what? A situation in which only he could handle met him there! He met a woman that also had a particular calling. I don't recall what it was but he asked her..."Don't you ever get tired of it? This life?" She said "NO! Of course not! It is my destiny and you cannot run from your destiny." Now, you might have not seen anything in that but I did. The gifts of God are without repentance. We are all called to do a special thing for the Kingdom of God. If we allow ourselves to get off focus, the enemy will have us to believe that we are not effective and there is more to life than the path that God has laid out for us! He will make you want to quit and give up the job God has called you to do. If you have answered God's call and begun walking in it, it's a part of you. You can't run away from it and no matter where you go...there should always be situations where your gift will enhance your surroundings. Are you gonna run the other way?(Don't be like JONAH!!) What I further saw here was that he was just tired and weary. He was burned out. If He was a Christian, his job would have been to run to God for the refreshing that he needed. Not run away from the call. We all get tired sometimes. We get discouraged, burned out, drained. We need a time of refreshing that only God can give and if we wait on him, He will send it. (Remember Elijah). We need to make sure that we are having private one on one time with the Father so He can give us the fuel we need to continue running this race. The lady in the movie had the right attitude. It was "Yes. I get tired. Yes. I get weary. Dog Gone it! Sometimes I want to quit! BUT, I won't! I can't! It is my destiny!!" I didn't finish the movie. It got kinda crazy so I turned but I felt like I got what I was supposed to get....thank you Lord for using a movie to speak to me...

P>S> there are scriptures I'm going to go back in to reference but I have to leave..on my way to church!

Creature or Creator?

REMEMBER: NEVER worship a "creature" more than the CREATOR! God is a jealous God and will have no other Gods before HIM. (Exodus 20:5) Jesus went to the cross so that we can have a personal relationship with Him. DEVELOP IT! He has given us Awesome Men and Women of God to lead us and guide us and to help enhance our walk and we should honor them as such but none of these people should take the place of knowing God and going to Him for yourself and learning to be led by the Holy Spirit within you.

Remember, people may have great intentions but they are in this flesh just like you and me and are subject to error, pride and yes....spiritual falls. We cannot afford to be spiritually lazy and not cultivate a personal relationship with our Lord! We have to study to show ourselves approved and know how to rightly divide the Word of truth so that we will be able to stand no matter what storm comes! (II Timothy 2:15)The only perfect person is Christ. It is Him we should be following....not man!

Seeking Jesus!

My blog post is simple today.....I'm going to do more of seeking Jesus! He is EVERYTHING! When things are turned upside down in your life, you have alot of things going on, you need direction or even if you just need a refreshing for God....seek Jesus! He is the ONLY ONE who can supply your every need! When things seem to go crazy in our lives, it seems like the first thing we do is begin to pull away from God....that's when we should draw closer!! This was pretty much of the sermon today in church and I was blessed by it! So many people are going through so much but my prayer today is that your heart be turned toward our Heavenly Father for all of your needs and that He lights a spark of fire in your soul that will make you seek Him all the more so that He can restore joy, strength and HOPE!!! PRAISE GOD!!!
