Happy Tuesday People! This is a good read this morning! I can remember earlier days when I started knowing God but still didn’t know God or what he was about! I can remember doing something then asking God to bless it and then wonder why he didn’t?? Well let me tell you that is absolutely the wrong way and God didn’t make that a wrong I did as we all do! We should pray about something before doing it to see if it’s what God has in our path and if it is I assure you it will be blessed if not in your path let it go no matter how badly you want it as sometimes the devil jumps in and wants us to mess up so we blame God! God is good and God wants the best for us, we are the ones who take the wrong path say or do the wrong things make things worse because we try to handle on our own not God! When we learn to let God be in control is when things go right! Does that mean everything we say and do is right of course not it means we have peace about things whichever way they go because we did the best we could! Do we still make wrong choices yes of course do we still say things we shouldn’t yes of course but the difference is we didn’t do it on purpose we prayed and maybe we thought we heard this or that but still made a wrong move that’s ok just pray to God and ask forgiveness and just move on! Do not dwell on a mistake learn pray and let it go as we will always make mistakes it’s how we deal with them that matters! Go out today and make the wrongs right live life love and forgive one another be there for your family as I promise one day you will wish you had done more been there more and let the things go to love and be joined together as family matters.. we never know when today will be our last… make it count today! Have a blessed day ❤️… I know I am!

Happy Thursday People! Oh sweet freedom .. I know this means different things for different people!
Now the Lord is the spirit, and WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, there is freedom!
2 Corinthians 3:17What freedom means to me is just what this says as I learned a few years back to start letting God be in control but I still had a hand in it until I learned I do not need to! As I have grown older and learned to let God have everything my life has been changing daily for the better! When you can be you and not worry if this one or that will approve life is better when you can be with the ones you loves and not worry if this or or that one will approve your life is better when you can choose the job that you enjoy and not worry if this or that one will approve your life is better and the ultimate when you can choose to follow God and believe and share his word and testimony and not worry if this or that one will approve wow does your entire world open up and change and it’s amazing! We are human and that flesh will sneak back in from time to time and that’s ok as now we recognize it and stop and pray and we don’t let it ruin everything we have gained and that’s a plus and God knows where we stand and that we are trying and there is a difference and God knows! I don’t worry much about the ones who don’t like me anymore as we all have them it’s life and although some sting as we pray it changes we can’t let it drag us down we pray and wait on God and he always shows up! Living life and understanding things are not always perfect we are not perfect and we have good days and bad which is life but one thing we can always count on is God is with us if we let him! It has changed everything about how I think and work and I know without a shadow of a doubt I would not be here and where I am right now if I had not let God lead! God has more for me to do I feel it and it’s getting closer and I am so excited to see what the future brings as I know God is planning and God is working on my behalf and it will be absolutely amazing where he puts me and what he has me doing and I am patiently (trying) waiting! Go out today pray to God and Live life be good to people and be good to yourself .. it’s worth it and always remember to share what God has done for you! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I am!

Happy Wednesday People! Oh how I try to let God lead and be the master of my heart and I do pretty well but still have those days here and there! I had one of those days yesterday as a lot was going on and I’m sure I failed a little with someone! When I fail with someone it just bugs me all night long that I could have handled that better and I feel bad but can’t change something once you do it or say it all we can do is do better! Once tomorrow comes if it does we have a new day to do better and we do! This world is crazy people are in different views of life and I myself believe some people are confused and not sure what to do with their life and too many people telling others what to do how to do it and when to do it! Be you and live life and be happy it’s your life to live! When those irritations come in I try to pray and ask for God for peace and that ole devil pops in and lays it on thick and we have to be strong! I am so much better about this than I use to be and it’s all because I gave it to God! God is my redeemer and I rely on him every second of the day! I’m praying today that God guide me and show me where I need to be and what I need to say and I know he will! He also forgives us when we mess up he knows we are trying and we will never be perfect but we can keep trying! Go out today and do good things and have a happy day ❤️.. I know I am!

Happy Tuesday People! Blessed by trusting God …. I can’t even explain how much this has changed my life but I sure hope it shows! For years I have trusted God but for years I led my own life and just prayed here and there and like this says when things were good I didn’t really talk
to God but when things were bad or when I made the wrong choices all I did was ask God to “fix” it! That’s not how this works and I’m so thankful I figured this out when I did! Took a minute as I usually learn things the hard way and on my own again my own stubbornness! What I realized a few years back is that God is here with me and I need to let him lead and talk daily to God through the good times and bad as he never promised all would be good every day but he did promise to be with me always and protect me and guide me but I had to allow it! Once I started allowing God to be the head of my life lead guide and direct me wow what a difference! I know I’m favored and that’s not a I’m better that’s a I know God hears me and guides me and every single day I see his works in my life some small some big! Does that mean everything is perfect and good absolutely not that meand God is with me and I have peace even when things are not good! I have had to let go of some things and people in my life over the last several years did I want to absolutely not I tried everything to keep it all in my life even when I was hurting I tried to keep it but I realized it wasn’t mine to keep and to make things better I had to let go! Again I didn’t want to because when we love people we want to be around them share life share joy give things as giving is what makes me happy but when not received it can hurt! Letting go hurt but as I prayed to God every single day cried with God and talked with God it became easier to live daily and still praying and still loving those we let go of! I have had friends and family that we lost connection and although we may try hard to keep them sometimes letting go taking a breather and praying for peace makes daily living better! We should love the ones that love us and love the ones that are here for us and when disagreements come and they will work them out forgive and help one another! I continue to pray for friends and family as I know Gods working on it and when the time is right things will Open and change! I give and I give and it’s not to show what I can do or be in the front it’s because I love to give to help others as I know God counts on me to give so he can continue to give…. I love helping my friends and family as it gives me the greatest joy to see smiles and see relief when it’s given to those who needed something they couldn’t get on their own or just needed a helping hand! Giving to my grand daughters makes me so happy as I didn’t have the means to always give to my children and I have regrets but I’m sure I over do it with my grands but I can’t help it I give with all I have I love with all I have and I thank God daily for giving me that gift as I know he leads me and I know he favors me because I feel it! I try every day to show others what God has done in my life and I’m sure I fail at it at times but I’m a lot closer than I have ever been! Thank God today for the good and be thankful to him when you’re going through storms as he’s always the light to focus on and it matters! Love when it’s hard makes it better to love when things are good!!! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I am! -
Happy Friday People! What a wonderful thought to keep on our minds… My Shepherd Celebrates me!!! My Shepherd guides me watches over me protects me loves me forgives me and so much more it’ is amazing! Let people see the God in you as when we try to tell them ourselves it goes nowhere other than sometimes worse! We like to think we are liked and loved by everyone but the truth is that is far from the truth! We all have people who don’t like us who gossip about us who stretch the truth about us who tries to convince others not to like us and it goes on but then we also have people who love us who pray for us who are proud of us who support us .. it’s life! I have learned to just move on if someone doesn’t like you they will find reasons to continue not to like you and we can fight it try to change it but if that’s how someone feels do your best pray about it and give it to God and although it hurts and stings God has it let him work on it for us! Sometimes I don’t think people want to hear the truth as some like staying in a state of drama or turmoil why I don’t know because life is good and can be fulfilling to all degrees but it’s not easy every day but it’s workable and we all can do it … if we want to! The devil works hard trying to keep people in turmoil and apart and we must not help him we need to stick together for the good and yes it will get hard at times but I assure you falling into the devils path is much harder! He makes it look tempting and tells our minds it’s fact and what others do to us well we must hate them and cause them grief … no we should not we should fight against that for ourselves and each other! People are worth fighting for but there comes a point when you’ve tried all you can and the other side is still in the same spot and I believe at that point when you have tried all you can it’s time to let it go give it to God pray love them and move on! We can’t beat ourselves down day after day week after week year after year when others stay on the same spot and continue to dwell on whatever it is and sometimes in life we will never know we just have to accept it and live our life best we can! Love one another and that is a hard one to love the ones who are against you pray for them it matters! Sometimes those are the ones who need us the most this are just too stubborn to let it be and sometimes when they do realize it well it may be too late as days roll on and life as we know it ends for all of us at some point so make your life count while you can ❤️ go out and change a life today change a situation today maybe it’s time for you to take the first step with a situation or a person and just make it better for them and you! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I am!!! I hope this changes something for someone today ❤️

Happy Thursday People! My Shepherd protects me like you have never known before! Our Shepherd protects us but I believe we fall short and do things that cause us hardships and do not wait on God then wonder why he let it happen 🤔… yes I said that! Been there myself and we think we know the way the answers and the truth but unless we are following God and letting him lead we do not.. hate to burst bubbles but sometimes they need to burst mine included! This world is a little crazy people are mad at one another people are getting bold in disrespecting others and scaring others all kinds of things! This could be an even more amazing place to live if people would just agree to disagree and let others be what we they want without changing them to be what you want them to be! People are amazing if we let them don’t change try to change someone to be you because God made each of us different for a reason! Let our Shepherd protect us as he wants and let him lead our paths and follow him you will not regret it! Had someone stop in my office yesterday whom I have not seen or heard from in many many years and I got to know him while I managed a law office and yes he was in some trouble a lot of trouble even went to prison. He stopped in my office just to tell me he was proud of where I was in life and he didn’t have to do that but he did and he reads my post and I had no idea he was around or saw them! The man broke down and I could see his change he now works in prison ministry and works with his church and he was sincere and I was so proud he stopped in as I could see his change and his heart for God! We never know who is watching what we do or how we help others with what we do so keep doing good as it matters! Change can happen if you want it and believe and follow God you will never regret the change! Life is hard enough without us adding struggles ourselves being bad and doing things to others just because you can will not make a good life but wherever you are in life it’s never too late to change just stop and pray and let God lead you to the amazing life he wants for you.. I did and it’s absolutely amazing! Find your place with God while you can!!! Have the most wonderful day ❤️.. I know I am!

Happy Wednesday People! Oh how my Shepherd leads me and he can do the same for you! If it were not for God I would not have survived many days in my past and I know some in the future to come! God is my redeemer and he makes me whole and new again! When God redeems you accept it and get off the fence and continue to do better and I promise the more you allow God to have and lead the more you will want as everyday I want more of God and less of me!! When we have troubles heartaches sadness whatever it may be just pray for God to give you peace and help you get through whatever it is you’re going through and believe it when you pray and he will show up and show out in a big way but we have to do our part and release it to him and believe with all of our heart it’s not easy to do but it’s easier than you think especially once you see God show up for you it’s something you never forget as it’s amazing! No feeling in the world lmeasurws up to the feeling when God shows up and shows out for you and you know it … I look up many times in a day and say that was you God and I know it 100%! No chance no luck it’s all God and his plans for us!! I chose to take Gods hand years ago but only the last few years did I let him lead and wow what a difference it makes!! Choose today to take Gods hand and don’t forget to let him lead there is a difference and trust me you want his leadership not your own!! I hope you have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I am!!

Happy Tuesday People! Oh how my Shephard cares for me and for you! He is the one who will never ever let you down he is the one who will always take care of you and guide you he is the one who always forgives you and picks you up… what are you waiting for … let God lead you and start today!! I can tell you I have been without God I have been on the fence about God I have went against what God wanted and I have been off the fence and let me tell you on Gods side and listening to what where and how he wants me and there is no comparison to which one I need to be on and it’s with God off the fence letting him lead! Being still is amazing because when God leads us we are in peace and although life may be hectic or have issues we can still have peace and be calm during the storm because we are covered by God and if we fix our eyes mind and soul on God he will help us through any storm and we can withstand and come out stronger and better if we listen to our God and follow him! I wasn’t sure how to listen to God but I finally figured it out and it took time it took patience and it took understanding our God and I have a lot to learn but I know I’m on the right path! There isn’t a moment that goes by that I don’t think about God I mean look around you everything you are everything you have everyone with you is because of God how can you not think of God! When storms come I now stop pray and look to God for answers and to give me peace and comfort through it! I have learned those storms come for a reason and if we remain still we will overcome any storm that comes our way! I use to fight the storms on my own and usually made them worse but it wasn’t on purpose I thought I could make it better but I can’t and neither can you! Dealing with people is hard as we never really know the motivation behind issues as people do not communicate we assume we blame we make judgment if we like someone we are for them no matter what if we don’t like someone we are against them and will get offended at everything they say or do because we twist it to make it our way… God doesnt do that God sees all and hears all and knows the future and he only wants the best for us but we must learn to understand God and know whatever we are going through God is there and has us covered for our own good! Trust God I rooms you will not regret it!! I hope today brings peace and joy to all of you ❤️… I know today is my day to enjoy and have peace I feel it in my soul! 🥰
