Perfect Peace

Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on you, Because he trusts in you"
Good morning!!!
Good Morning

Today my peace and joy come from the Lord. I should say that everyday! I am going to start saying that, even when I don’t feel that way because feelings are fickle. Here’s a fact I can rely on. He chose me! When I was ten and read Psalms 23 I knew, I know that I knew because I cried big tears, big gulping air, snot running down my nose, loud cries of joy leapt from me! That chapter was for me at that moment. Jesus introduced himself to me in my bedroom. So much love surrounded me and I knew I wasn’t alone. The more I read, the more I study, I see in scripture that it is not me that suddenly wanted to know this mysterious man. God chooses whomever He chooses. He picked me! I am wanted and loved and worthy of His love because yes, He first loved me! The desire to know Him comes from Him. The desire to worship Him comes from Him! I can rest in His perfect love. I can’t earn it. I don’t deserve it. I only have to receive this gift.

Last night that revelation kinda hit me again. I have asked God to help me not worry, stress and fret. So, if your working on an area of your body, if your building a muscle, your working it, your sore, you might hurt or ache as the area you are building gets really worked, the same applies to your heart, or spirit. I am strengthening my faith, well, God is. So of course that means the testing of my faith is painful! Thank you Jesus that you will not ever give up on me! My resolve to stay the the of time and the testing of my faith has been renewed. I am ok! I am better than ok, I am highly favored! I am blessed going in and blessed going out. I am above only and not beneath! I am sealed with Gods Holy seal. I am the bride of Christ! I am my beloveds and He is mine!

The Most Favorite Day Of The Week!!

Why is Friday so far from Monday and yet, Monday so close to Friday?

Unknown

Another week has passed. I looked away for just a moment on what was it? Monday? Now, it’s Friday. As fast as the week goes, the weekend goes faster. This is exactly why I like to take stock, breathe, and be mindful. Of it all. Everything. Everyone. Appreciate the time because time is it’s own master. Or rather, God is. Our times are in His hands. I have learned that I worry. I fret. I Brood, bother and fuss. Over anything, everything, nothing and then some! I make lists. Lists of lists I should make! Like a dog gnawing on a bone, I think and think and think of things I need to think! So, I am relearning to lessen my load, lighten my burden by casting my cares, my worries…all my what if’s at my Jesus’s feet. He is the Author and Finisher of this life. There is nothing I could imagine or plan that could compare to His glorious plan for me. Today, I am mindful of how small I am, but a vapor and all that I know will be gone. I am going to be thankful and relax knowing that He has everything under His control and it is all in His time…not mine!

My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me. Psalm 31:15

I am The Great I AMs‘

God is within me

If my time is in His care then I will not fall

Happy Birthday!!

To my first born!

You are no accident, you were planned and prayed for! There is nothing about you not known and noticed by God, I as your mother am a mere steward of you, you are Gods child first!

Mommy

I love you, oh how I love you! You are so amazing! I could sit and listen to you for hours. I could watch you, mesmerized forever! I love how God made you! You are so strong, stubborn and smart. I am praying for you, everyday. I am believing for you, the best. You have so many amazing things that God has in store for you! Your life is an adventure and the bad things that come your way are mere stepping stones. My baby girl, my lovely young woman, don’t be sad, “Awake, Awake! Put on your strength, O daughter! Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean shall enter you no more! Shake yourself from the dust; Arise! Sit down O Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!” Isaiah 52 God has given you the freedom and the Power in His Name to loose yourself and to shake yourself from dust and bonds that you find yourself in. When I realized this I was in prison. God opened up the eyes of my heart, He took a couple more scales off my eyes, I think I still have a few scales because I am still realizing many things lol, anyway, I began to see that yes, He will rescue us but we must do our part. Rise up daughter! The power that raised Jesus from the grave is inside YOU!!!!

Secret Things

Deuteronomy 29:29

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and our children forever, that we may follow the words of this law

I read my devotional today and it convicted me of my worry and anxiety. As if I can do anything in and of my own. I am going through a difficult time in trusting God right now. I need to stop wrestling with myself, my past, my regrets, I must learn to forgive myself….oh the list goes on. To all my friends and followers who know I have struggled with forgiving my bf, I want to say I have processed my pain and am walking in love again. I have many questions and doubts but I am giving them all to God. I created quite a mess of my life, but I also am deeply in love with Jesus. So, as I go about my day, I let my God figure out my mess. He does work all things out for the good! I study His word and I sing to Him and I am resting at His feet.

I am my Beloveds and He is mine

Song of Solomon 2:16

Something Beautiful

When I see a dirty, ragged, chipped and lonely piece of furniture I feel compelled to see beyond its appearance, to the heart of it.

This is not finished. Unfortunately when I began working with wood I didn’t foresee my commitment to see the end from the beginning. I had no idea I could do this and I certainly didn’t realize my enjoyment. I lose myself when I’m sanding wood. I only use a sander up to 400. From there I do it by hand.
This is my first sanding job. I’m not finished. I only had up to 2000 grit

Good Morning! I hope you have a wonderful, blessed day.

I am focusing today on releasing my hurt. You know how when your hurting you have less patience? Well, I am hurting and lashing out. I recognize my behavior and I am going to set my mind to releasing my hurt and fear. Let it go. Inhale. Exhale. Breath.

I forgive myself for letting my emotions run away with me. Today, I will let myself be human and make a couple mistake. Learn from them and move on.

Shedding the skin of yesterday and all its sorrows. Retaining the lessons and move on to tomorrow

Friday Eve

Today I am focusing on choices. I choose peace and joy. I choose love. I choose to give myself the freedom to enjoy peace, joy and love. I openly and with welcoming arms receive them. I am worth love. I create my own joy by staying humble and grateful. I have all I need and I am fulfilled.

I love this quote because when you do believe in yourself, you accomplish it! I am worthy of success! I am loved! I am not alone, and it’s not too late! Beautiful things are coming to me, beautiful moments. I am exactly where I am supposed to be and I am on my way!
