Heavenly Treasures

Matthew 6:19-21~"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.~"

How many of *y’all know that when you bless others that you also bless yourself and your family? I don’t know about *y’all but I feel great when I am able to help someone. I mean I literally feel sick with love! God wants us to always help others by sowing love. I think he smiles at us every time we help someone. When I talk about giving I’m not just talking about material possessions. You can say a word of encouragement to someone, give someone a compliment, or even smile at them. There are many different ways to sow love –just pick one. You would be surprised at how a simple act of kindness could mean the world to someone who is hurting. Unfortunately, there are many selfish people who only focus on storing man-made treasures, which they can’t take with them. Please don’t misunderstand me; I’m not saying that we are not supposed to have anything while we are here on earth; it’s just that this should not be our primary focus. We are supposed to help others especially when we see a brother or sister in need. Think about those times when you needed something and someone reached out a hand to you. It probably made you feel good to know that someone took the time to care for you. This year let’s make a vow to keep the giving/love cycle going so that we can reap our heavenly treasures.

Let It Shine!

Matthew 5:14-16 ~ "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."~


As we get ready to wrap up another year and bring in the new one I wanted to reflect on some of the events that happened in my life this year. Some things made me stronger, others made me more humble, and still others made me even more determined to help others see the light of God’s Kingdom. I learned how to truly walk the road of forgiveness instead of just talk it. I learned how to hold on to some things and to let others go because they were stifling my spiritual growth. I learned to let go of some hidden insecurities which caused me pain and frustration by giving them to God. I experienced several faith building experiences that had me and others shouting for unrelentless joy! I witnessed some people become new creatures because they accepted Jesus into their lives. I also learned to never write off anyone because you never know who God will use to fulfill his plans. (Remember God used many people in the Bible that had issues). I learned to have more patience with people, and finally I learned that true unconditional love can change even the hardest hearts. I am thankful that I learned so much this year and thankful that God used me to bless others. As 2009 rapidly approaches, I hope that the Lord continues to use me to be a light to others, and I pray that more people will accept him into their lives before it’s too late. Merry Christmas, and may God continue to bless *y’all!

Unconditional Love

1 John 4:16 ~"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."~

I love you.

I love you when the skies are blue
I love you when the skies are gray.
I love you when the sun comes us.
I love you when the sun goes down
I love you when money is low
I love you when money is high.
I love you when you are weak.
I love you when you are strong.
I love you when you feel ugly
I love you when you feel pretty.
I love you when you laugh
I love you when you cry
I love you when you fail.
I love you when you succeed.
I love you when you are lonely.
I love you when you forget about me
I love you when you remember me.
I love you when you don’t love you.
I love you.

“The Show Must Go On!”

~Proverbs 22: 24~Make no friendships with a man given to anger, and with a wrathful man do not associate.

Proverbs 27: 6~ “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are lavish and deceitful.

~Psalm 84: 11 ~ “For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows grace and favor and glory. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”

How many of *y’all have noticed that in your walk with God that there now seems to be more negative people surrounding you? It probably bothers you because some of the people spewing negativity are your friends or relatives. I read an email awhile back that said that everyone can’t be in your front row. At first I didn’t really understand the ramifications of that statement, but after I prayed for knowledge in this area God revealed it to me. Everyone can not be in your front row. There will be people that will have to sit in the back or unfortunately can’t even be at your show. This doesn’t mean that you don’t show these individuals unconditional love, but this means that as you grow higher spiritually there will be people who for whatever reason will not understand it, and they will hate on you or make you feel guilty for the blessings that God bestows on your life. Don’t feel guilty because God does show favor to his children, and what many of the haters don’t realize is that they are looking at the end result and not thinking about the footsteps it took for you to get to where you are today. I can only speak for myself, but it took a lot of discipline and a many of nights of falling down, before I was broken down into my lowest form so that Jesus could begin building me back up into the creature he wanted me to be. So to my sisters and brothers living in the light please don‘t get discouraged on your path with God, because there will always be some people who won’t be as joyful as you are when you make spiritual gains in the Kingdom. The unfortunate fact is you can not invite everyone to your show to be in the front row, because they will tear up your show and cause chaos and confusion. You should just continue to pray for these individuals, pray that they see the light and realize that God can do the same thing for them if they would only have faith in him.

Forgive ­YOU!

Psalm 51: 2 ~ "Wash me thoroughly [and repeatedly] from my iniquity and guilt and cleanse me and make me wholly pure from my sin!"

How many of *y’all have read where the scriptures tells us to forgive others that hurt us, etc.? How many of *y’all know that you also need to apply this really important step to yourself? You need to learn how to forgive yourselves as well as others. I have seen so many people holding on to issues that cause several addictions, health problems, and resentment. This is because they refuse to forgive themselves.
When we do things to hurt others we often times feel guilty, but when we hold on to this guilt it opens up the door to the enemy and his massive collection of lies. (Remember he thrives off of our misery and pain). One thing you need to realize is that the energy it takes to harbor anger, hatred, and resentment towards yourself is exhaustive. Every bit of energy you give to negative activities and dwelling on regrets, robs you of the energy you need to become the person God wants you to be. If you do not forgive yourself of past sins, it is a form of pride, because when we apply a different set of rules and a higher set of standards for ourselves over others -that is a source of pride. I would never name anyone by name in this blog, but I do know several people battling alcohol and drug addictions because they can’t forgive themselves even when the person(s) that they hurt has forgiven them, moved on with their lives, or in some cases even passed away.
Bottom line is we cannot change the past; we cannot restore lives to where they were before the event. However, we can make a difference in the lives of others. We can give back some of what we have taken away by finding a different place to invest our time and compassion. Forgive yourself and let the healing begin. How you ask? Easy! by giving it all to Jesus!

Wanted Dead or Alive!

Ephesians 6:10-18~10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.~

I’m a wanted woman *y’all, in fact I may be on this organizations ten most wanted list, and I’m not talking about the FBI, *y'all. I mean that I am wanted by the kingdom of darkness because I gave my life whole heartedly to Jesus Christ. Once I did that I became a target, and the enemy has been constantly shooting his many weapons of mass destruction right at me, but thankfully they have not been able to penetrate my full body armor (the word of God). Though I must be honest, there have been incidences where the enemy’s bullets of deceit have knocked me down, but still my bullet-proof armor remained intact. Those unfortunate times were because I believed the enemies lies and began doubting what God had promised me, but once I recovered I came back fully recharged with some ammo of my own (the word, faith, and love). You have to stay prayed up in this spiritual battle otherwise you will lose focus and began to believe the negativity that the enemy spews into your life. We have to be on guard at all times, watching what we say and do, because all the enemy needs is a door and most of the time, we open that door with the words that we speak and the actions that we do. One thing that I know is that the enemy may want me, but the truth of the matter is that I have already been bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus.

In God I Trust

Psalm 118:8-9 ~"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.”~.

How many of *y’all have ever been let down by someone that you trusted? It probably hurt your feelings, and you probably lashed out at them. I too, have been hurt by man more times than I can count, but one thing that I have learned , and am still learning is that when we place all our trust in man, and they let us down, we are only setting ourselves up for emotional failure. You should place all your trust in God because he never lets us down, his word is true and he promised to take care of us. So instead of walking around with a huge chip on your shoulder because someone let you down, keep your head up and realize that man makes mistake, and it is not our place to condemn them, but to forgive them and to help restore them. I’m not saying you shouldn’t trust man at all; but our overall backup plan should be Jesus Christ. We all make mistakes, and we all fall short, but we can not walk around holding grudges because our feelings were hurt. True children of God, have eternal joy and never place conditional clauses on relationships. If you make it up in your mind to love and forgive unconditionally you wouldn’t be so hurt by the things that man does, you would realize that sometimes those situations are thrown at us to see what we are made of, to test us spiritually, and also for us to use those situations to help others make it through their trials. I don’t know about *y’all but I’m going to place my trust in the one who I know has my back.

"There Ain’t No Worries On Me!"

Matthew 6:25-27~"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life.~

How many of *y’all worry about a lot of things? How many of *y’all know that after we pray to the Lord about something that we are supposed to leave it in his hands? When we worry, it means we are trying to handle things ourselves. It also shows a lack of faith. I know it is easier said than done, but when we pray for Jesus to take care of something for us, we should leave it alone. For example, if you planted a seed and then dug it up afterwards to check on it, how would it grow? It can’t because you interfered with its growth. Stop worrying and being anxious all the time. When you give it to God -leave it with God, because he takes care of us. I must say that I have been guilty of worrying about some things myself, and while worrying I felt anxious and sick inside, because I was trying to handle things by myself. After I finally prayed about my situation and truly gave it to Jesus, he immediately gave me peace. If any of *y’all are stressing, about anything please give it to the one who can take care of it. Stop worrying! Stop making yourself sick! And most of all stop digging up the seeds you’ve planted so that they can grow!

Speak Life

Proverbs 18:21 ~Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. ~

How many of *y’all know someone that always has something negative to say? Everything that they say tends to be cutting and dark. How many of *y’all know that life and death are in the power of the tongue? That we can turn a situation around just by the words we say? Words are powerful- so powerful that when God said “Let there be light!” it immediately happened. Do you know that we have the same power to speak things into existence too? Jesus gave us the same power to speak things into existence. If you always say negative things and negative things tend to happen to you, you have no one to blame but yourself ,for listening and believing the constant negativity that the enemy has spoken into your life.
From now on I will choose to speak life into my life and into other people’s lives. Did you know that speaking life on someone can make their spirit man soar? Did you also know that speaking death on them can break their spirits too? As God’s children we have to speak life into others ,because that’s what Jesus teaches us. Instead of saying, ‘I can’t -say I can!” Instead of saying ‘the glass is half empty -say it’s filled to the top! Instead of saying all my relationships will fail, say all my relationships will prosper…." You have the power to choose your words so why not choose life-giving ones?

I’ve Fallen But I Can Get Back Up!

Psalm 23:3 ~He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

I would like to apologize for not posting anything in awhile *y’all, but I have been going through some things that I know will make me stronger for God’s kingdom. I know some of you are probably wondering what happened? Did she fall down? Has she backslid back into sin? I am no different than anyone else; I have issues in my life that test my faith daily. I have issues that probably pale in comparison to many. Well just like some off *y’all, I have accepted Jesus Christ wholeheartedly into my heart, and I have not given up, because he has not given up on me. I believe that we go through trials to make us stronger so that we can help others get through their problems. Sometimes when I look at some of the many crooked paths my life took in the past, I am absolutely amazed that I am still standing here, in my right mind. I am thankful for his everlasting grace and his mercy. I am thankful that he has not given up on me, because as some of y’all know humans are sometimes too quick to give up on each other, especially if they have been hurt (which is no excuse). I am thankful that he gives me the words to speak life into others, to help pick them up when others have constantly stepped on them, and most of all I am thankful that if and when (because I am human) I fall down, he is there to pick me back up and restore me so that I may help to restore others, by showing and attesting to them that yes, we may fall down, but he picks us back up if we believe. So instead of laying there crying “I’ve fallen and can’t get up!” -get your behind up and thank him for helping you get back up!”

Ephesians 6:10 ~Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.~

Hello everyone I would like to wish a belated Happy New Year to all of *Y’all and thank you again for reading my blogs. As I was driving in to work today I was listening to a gospel song entitled ‘Victory’ by Yolanda Adams that had me singing at the top of my lungs (I’m not a singer, but you couldn’t tell me that I wasn’t Patti LaBelle this morning!). Well when I was singing the song I was really feeling the words of it “I've got, got the victory I've got the sweet, sweet victory in Jesus. Yes I do, He's our mighty conqueror. In him I will trust all my battles he'll fight. I've got, got the victory! I've got the sweet, sweet victory in Jesus. For me He died but He rose on the third day. That’s why I have true victory everyday!” The words of this song really spoke to me this morning, because even though I know we are mighty in Jesus’ name, it just seemed extra powerful this morning as if every time I sang it I was literally stomping on the enemies head! It truly felt good, because I have been dealing with several attacks lately, and I do recognize where they come from. But today while singing that song out loud, it reinforced what I already know “Jesus is more powerful than anything we go through so never lose your faith and never doubt because we already have the victory!”

Stomp On Evil

Ephesians 5:11 ~”Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”~

Luke 10:19 ~”Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."~

This one will be a short one that gets straight to the point. Christians should not celebrate Halloween, not even a little bit, Halloween is evil, and its entire makeup is built on darkness. Don’t participate in watered down versions of Halloween, just don’t celebrate it in any form. We are living in a time where school systems won’t let our children pray in school, but they can come dressed up as demons. We are in a spiritual war *y’all and we have to keep our guards up against Satan and his kingdom of darkness at all times. We have to stomp on evil and not allow it to consume us or our loved ones. We need to pray for people to be delivered and that their spiritual eyes are opened to see the real light. We need to pray that they repent and accept Jesus Christ into their hearts before it’s too late. We need to celebrate life not death!

The Best Gift To Give and Receive

1 Timothy 2:8 ~ “I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.”~

Matthew 5:44 ~ “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”~

How many of *y’all like giving gifts to others? I like to give to others, because I love to see people happy. I love seeing their faces light up when they open their gifts. But out of all of the gifts that I have given the most important one is giving the gift of prayer. Praying for others not only blesses the people you pray for, but also blesses you. The next time you are wondering around the mall thinking about what you can give to really make someone’s day, just pray to the Father on their behalf and watch the blessings begin to flow. This not only works for people that you like, but also for those that you don’t get along with. In fact you should even pray for your enemies, (trust me ,I know this is a hard one for many of us to do). For all you know, that person may be going through some difficult times and is more than likely suffering from some past hurt, and they just took their frustration out on you. So instead of keeping the hurt-people-hurt-other-people cycle going. Why not sow and reap blessings by praying and forgiving them? I don’t know about *y’all, but no matter how badly someone has hurt me, I don’t want to see anyone go to hell. Prayer is powerful and it definitely works, but it only works if done with sincerity, faith, and love.

Blessed vs. Lucky

~Matthew 21:9 “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”~


I wanted to share another part of my ever growing testimony to show believers and non-believers that Jesus is real, and that he always takes care of his children.

The other day while driving home, I was involved in a car accident. It had been steady raining that day; so I slowed down because I knew I couldn’t compete with the heavy rain drops beating against my car. Well while going about 30 mph my car began to slide across the road, and out of habit I put my foot on the brakes to try and stop, but the car only picked up more speed. I started praying, " Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" over and over while my daughters screamed in the back seat. I gripped the steering wheel tightly to prepare myself for the impact. The car drove off the road and into a ditch that was completely flooded. I was in shock at this point. Afterwards, a stranger tapped on my window, and I slowly turned and looked at him, but I couldn’t hear him, but his lips were asking “Are you okay?” and I looked at him while still tightly gripping the steering wheel and said “Huh? What?” So he opened the car door and advised me and my daughters to get out and sit in his vehicle, because the flooded ditch could sweep the car away even further. When we finally got in his car my whole body began shaking and tears welled up in my eyes, because the realization of what had just happened hit me. The stranger looked at me and said “Man, you guys are lucky! that car could have flipped over!” Finally coming back to my senses I looked at him and said “No sir, we are blessed!” I don’t believe in luck.” Well anyway to make a long story short the car was towed out of the ditch and the only damage was a broken hub cap, and the tire had to have mud removed from behind it. Final result? There wasn’t a scratch on us or the car.

This episode made me think about how people usually use the word luck to describe the things that happen in their lives. After I became saved I stopped using that word, because I give all glory to God for everything. Luck is for unbelievers who believe in leprechauns, Santa Claus, and all that fantasy stuff. If you believe in Jesus and asked him to take control of your life you will recognize the miraculous things that he does to show you that he had you in the palm of his hands all along.

Do You See What I See?

~ Eph 6:12 NIV ~For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

One thing that I have learned during this Christian walk is how to pull back. By pulling back, I mean that I can’t expect everyone to see everything that I see in the spiritual realm. For example, you wouldn’t expect a newly saved person to go around preaching, laying hands on the sick, or casting out demons. Why? Because they are not strong enough in the word yet; they are still drinking milk. As a Christian you need to know your strengths and weakness in certain areas, because if you are not strong enough to cast out demons from a possessed person, and you try to, you could get yourself really hurt. We have to let our spirit man grow daily and wait until the Holy Spirit tells us to move. One thing that used to get to me was when trying to explain something in the spiritual realm that I see to someone one who couldn’t see and they brushed me off as being superstitious . I think people are quick to label things that they don’t understand as superstitious or scary when they don’t understand the spiritual realm. First of all superstition is straight from the pits of hell, and the enemy loves to keep this fear going. Second of all, I denounced all of that madness when I became saved.
Also another time while trying to explain something to someone that just didn’t seem to get it, the Holy Spirit told me to pull back, because they can’t see what you see right now. The Holy Spirit told me to never force anything on babes in Christ, because you could possibly turn them away altogether, and that is the last thing that I want to do. As Christians just realize that there are different levels of spirituality, and please don’t get upset if someone can’t see everything that you see right now. Just continue to pray, develop spiritually, and pray that others continue to mature so that they too, can see everything.

Share the Light

~ 1 Corinthians 13~Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too. We know we love God's children if we love God and obey his commandments.

The other day while out shopping at the mall, while looking at various clothing items I noticed something. Almost all of the clothing had some form of skulls, wicked pictures, or gothic writings on them. One of my daughters picked up a pair of sneakers from the shelf that at first glance appeared to have hearts all over them, but when I looked closer I noticed that there were skulls also imbedded in the hearts. I’d pick up a beautiful shirt that had roses on it only to discover that there were skulls and wicked things written subtly on them. Thinking that maybe it was the store that I was in, I went to several others to look. It was the same for many of the other items. Then it suddenly hit me- the enemy is getting bolder and craftier in these times. I don’t know about *y’all but skulls and crossbones have never meant anything but death to me. When I see them I don’t get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. The enemy is subtly making unsuspecting people worship him, from the clothing they wear, to the music they listen to. For example there is a popular catchy song out right now entitled, “Party like a rock star,” and I watched the video and in it there were numerous people throwing up the hand sign that showed that they loved and worshipped the enemy. I immediately said a prayer for the ones who probably had no idea what they were doing.
It is sad to see so many lost people living in utter darkness, but even sadder is the many people who are living in the light who don’t seem to be concerned anymore. They do just enough to say that they are Christians, but when it comes to actually helping save others, they quickly turn the other cheek. No one said that being a Christian was easy or that we wouldn’t have problems anymore. When we gave our lives to Jesus Christ we made a promise to love and help others. So with that being said; how many people have you taken by the hand and led into the light?

Humble Pie

Matthew 18:4 ~"Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."~

Proverbs 29:23 ~"A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor."~

How many of *y’all have ever eaten humble pie? Well I have had to eat humble pie several times in my lifetime and probably will have to eat it again in the future. The reason that I know this is, because we are human and we battle our flesh daily. There isn’t anything wrong with eating humble pie as long as you learn from the experience. We as Christians should never judge or assume anything about anyone. We have to be very careful not to have e a Pharoses attitude toward others who are not on the same level spiritually as we are. Because always remember how you began your walk with Christ; for instance, did you quit all your bad habits immediately or did you have to take lil baby steps? Babies have to drink milk before they can chew on meat. This is the same process for all Christians. No one is saved overnight. It is a daily process. Jesus said that we must pick up the cross daily and follow him. This means that each new day is a chance to try and get things right. Don’t worry about what happened yesterday or last year ,but concern yourself with today. Stop expecting people to live like you want them to live, stop looking for faults in others, and please stop judging others. Because remember that Matt 7:2 "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." So for those of *y’all that kind of got beside yourselves and began looking your noses down on others; look in the mirror, swallow your pride, and eat a big ole’ slice of humble pie, because no one is perfect and we all mess up. Just be thankful that we have an understanding and merciful Father who loves and forgives all of us.

Dance Partners

2 Corinthians 6:14 ~"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?"~

Have you ever danced with someone that wouldn’t let you go once the music had stopped? I mean they continued to hold on to you tightly even though you wanted them to let you go. They were stuck to you like super-duper glue, but all you could think of was, “let me go!” In fact the more you tried to pull away from them the harder they held you.
These incidents made me think about something; how many of *y’all know that when you dance with the devil you will get hurt every time? Once you dance with him, he will always try to keep his stronghold on you so that you don’t get the opportunity to dance with Jesus. Examples of dancing with the devil are falling for someone from your past that you know is living in utter darkness. I know many people who have fallen for this trap, including myself, because we want them to change so badly that we fall for the charming smiles and sweet words. We can’t see the forked tongue because we are too blinded by its charm. No matter how pleasing a person looks to the eyes, you have to always look at the person’s spirit. Use discernment at all times! Stop giving into your fleshly desires; it will get you killed out here. The devil isn’t playing *y’all, he wants you and he will use any and every trick to bring you into his kingdom. So if you keep on sticking your lil’ baby toe into his world he will snatch you up into his kingdom so fast it will make your head spin. So the best thing to do is to stay away from the dark side, because light and dark should never, ever mix.

Friend or Foe?

Proverbs 27:6 “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”

Why do some people try to instill fear in you? I mean, they go out of their way to make you feel afraid and troubled about certain situations in your life. They pretend to be concerned by saying things like, “Are you alright?” but they say it as if we were back in the 1800s and we are run- away slaves. Don’t get me wrong it is okay to ask, “Are you alright?” but what good is it to say it if comes from a cold heart?
Why do some people do this? The reason is because they want to transfer a spirit of fear to you. They want you to stumble and lose focus. But they fail to realize that there isn't anything that can make you doubt Jesus and your love for him.

True friends will never try to instill fear in you. Even when you are going through bad things in life, they will continue to show you unconditional encouragement and love. They would never try to make the situation more dramatic than it is. People like this or either one of two things; 1.) They are not truly friends, but wolves in sheep’s clothing, and know exactly what they are doing ,or 2.) They can’t see themselves because they are in total darkness. If you want to know if someone is really for or against you, just wait until you are going through some heavy things, and you will get your answer. For some of you it may be hard for you to accept the reality that you get, but remember you can’t make anyone love you no matter how much of a friend you are to them. All you can do is continue to love them and hope that they see the light which is God's everlasting love.

Fly Higher

Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint"

The other day while driving I saw a bird in the sky that was struggling to fly. It was a very windy day, but that bird was determined to fly higher. The wind was knocking that bird every which way, but it continued to flap its wings, determined to soar. I sat there and watched that bird until it had flapped its wings enough to make progress, only to be knocked back down countless times. The bird finally flapped its wings enough to gain enough momentum to fly higher. This incident really spoke to me and made me think about the drive in many of us. Even though the enemy will come with numerous attacks, he can’t take our drive, our will, or our focus to soar higher. He can’t take our faith in Jesus. For those of you who are soaring for righteousness I applaud you, because in today’s world it is so easy to give up and fly low on the bandwagon of sin. So keep soaring for righteousness, keep flapping your wings for morality, because you will eventually reach your final destination to be with the Son and the Father.
