Dear Journal - Wisdom

(Sunday,  2/28/2021  7:48am) It's been some time since I've tried sharing a study on one of the books of the Bible.  I now understand the challenge and the cost of undertaking such a project.  What do you do, when it's been placed within your heart?      "You need to return to Job Leon and your writings, which are inspired by the grace of God,      that you are to give to those that He has given to you".     "Don't look for numbers, just look at what He has given to you to do!      Begin with Proverbs 2 and write what I have given to you.      Come weekly before Me and go through the Proverbs, that others may be encourage      and begin to draw close to Me." That's when you lay aside all doubts, fears, costs, distractions and say "Yes, Lord I will."   A battle rages within your heart and you go through all the different things that many before had (Joshua, Peter, Jonah, Mos...

What is the "New Normal"

Image
  So much to share! Excited about our nation desperately working to return to what our "new normal" will be.  The year 2020 will forever be engrained into our hearts and mind...  As a people, we saw division, anger, isolation, family togetherness and our true selves.  As a nation, we watched frustration, hate, revolt, corruption, social change, murder and much more.  As a global community, we tried to communicate despite of our differences.   Let us pray for God's benefits upon the lands and all peoples. We have much to be grateful for, even amid confusion, death, sorrow, illness, strife etc.  Have you been feeling like me? sad, angry, discouraged, alone, depressed, frustrated, lost, confused, tired, hurting, grief, financial hardship, loss of employment, hopeless, loss of loved ones, loss of yourself and many other anxieties, all because of this  new normal?   Let me refresh your heart, m...

38 Minutes - "Glimpse Of Heaven"

 When you go to prayer and allow yourself to come before the wonderful Presence of God, you shall get a glimpse of Heaven.  In Your Presence  I can abandon myself I can be free from not having to care about anything Like a child, I wholly rely on you for everything. I am not concern about the "now" I am totally free from "myself"  When I am in Your Presence. " Thou wilt shew me the path of life; In thy Presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasure for evermore"  psalm 16:11 " Go in peace, the Presence of the Lord be with you on your way"  judges 18:6 "Thou shall hide them in the secret place of Your Presence from the pride of man; Thou shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues" psalm 31:20 Have you had your Glimpse Of Heaven today ?  If not, please do not delay.. come, see and taste that the Lord is good..... 2/8/2021 - Today's Glimpse Of Heaven for me. I learned that I am angry. I knew the...

New Year 2021 Reflection

Image
  A very dear Sister in the Lord taught me about year-end  annual "Prayer Cards" about 10 years ago. I am so grateful that she did and I have been doing it ever since. I love the fact that not only do I have a record of all my prayer requests, but I also have all the answer prayers recorded.  Ezra 8:23 - "So we fasted and entreated our God for this and He answered our prayer" It is that time of the year again, where we need to reflect on where we are and where do I want to go. So let us ask ourselves these (5) questions: 1) What personal change do I need to make? 2) What commitment do I need to make in this new year 2021? 3) What is an impossible prayer request?  Remember that nothing is impossible with God! 4) What is God calling me to do? 5) What is my heart's desire?

Grace Found Me

Christmas 1986 I was alone, confused, without any hope of what I was going to do about a mistake that I thought I wanted but it was not a good choice. I have always wanted to experience what it would be like to be on my own. No responsibility for anyone other than myself. But the kicker is that I had a young child that I would need to care for. This deception in my mind and the lust of my flesh had me convinced that this would be good 4 me.  The reality is that it was the worse Christmas holiday of all time, for me. I was living on my own and it was a lonely dark time at this small apt that I had.  I had walked away from owning a home to renting. Go figure! That's just how lost and confused I was. I did not have a reason to walk away only that it was a lie that I had believed in my head.  How scary it is to finally realize how deceptive my heart and mind can really be. I had, what now I consider a "good life". One thing is certain and that is that we will always have trou...

I FOUND ME

Image
Would like to try to describe this experience which I had today. In order to give this merit, I must go back to the beginning of the COVID19 shut down in mid March. Since then I have enjoyed staying home, reflecting and doing lots of reading. Two (2) books in particular which are written by Townsend & Cloud had been giving me the chance to reflect on boundaries and behavior patterns. Fast forward to now. In my spirit I have been struggling with emotions. The ups and downs of being shut in and reflecting upon my health. It seems that I had been slowing down due to the lack of active work and exercise. My muscles and joints were stiffening up and I my bowels were out of wack. I was experiencing stomach bloating and digestive issues. I finally went back to acupuncture to see if that could relieve some of these issues. That is where this journey began. Questions were asked and I tried to honestly answer them. She made some suggestions about me needing to "let go" of is...
