WAITING on God… we don’t like it but it’s necessary!

January 31st, 2024

Happy Wednesday People! Oh WAITING…. I don’t know about you but I do not like waiting but I have learned sometimes it’s needed and sometimes it’s necessary!

Now then stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes .. 1st Samuel 12:16

Like this says when we plan something and it goes according to plan we have a date we are looking forward to and we know it’s coming! Waiting for prayers to be answered is hard as we do not know when it will happen we do not sometimes even know what that change will be but we know we are asking for something! Sometimes we don’t even know what we are looking for or what to expect we are just praying and looking for an answer every day! One thing I have learned is when we pray and ask for things after we pray just thank God for the answers and the change as we don’t have to ask over and over but we do need to let God know we are waiting on him instead of trusting our own self and when things are lined up and we listen and follow God … answers come.. the answers come from God so don’t have tunnel vision to where you miss Gods answers and direction as I do think sometimes we want specific things and miss God because it wasn’t what we wanted or what we thought should happen! God made changes in life many times but I have finally learned to wait and follow God as his way is best and although I didn’t know I needed it or someone God knew and when w listen to God and wait it’s so worth it !!!! Hard to wait and sometimes we want to throw in the towel but why because if ……..we throw in the towel does that mean we give up on God because we got tired of waiting and not having it our way .. hmmm could be … do not get tired of waiting on God he may just be changing you before he answers prayers as sometimes we are our own worse enemy and don’t even see it! We cannot put timelines on God we just have to believe have faith do what is necessary to wait and let God!! Let God change you and answer prayers his way you will not be disappointed you may even be happier and more successful oh wait that’s not a maybe it’s a definite you will be happier more successful and filled with more love than you can imagine! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I promise you I am!!
Live today and make your dreams happen … no regrets needed!

January 30th, 2024

Happy Tuesday People! Love this quote as it is so true! If we do not live our lives to the filliest and push ourselves and do things out of our comfort zone we will be doing the same thing over and over! I guess to some this may be ok and if that’s you that’s ok as that is what you want and do! If you have dreams and wish for this or that and do not do anything different or get out of your comfort zone one day you will look back and have the regret of not doing more and once that time comes it may be too late to do those things! If you have dreams and plans step out and try them is it scary absolutely, is it a guarantee it will work absolutely not but I will tell you if you never try it then there is zero chance of moving and changing! If you try and it doesn’t work that’s ok as you tried give it 120% of everything you have and when you think you’re at your end give it another hard push as you may be closer to getting over that hill than you think but if you give up you will never know! Life is hard sometimes scary and I think sometimes we question what we are doing and that’s ok we should but God is with us everytime we do something everytime we need him he’s there waiting on us to talk to him! Live your life as we never know how much time we have left and it could be shorter than you ever imagined so don’t put things off live for today and tomorrow well let’s deal with tomorrow when it arrives! I hope you each have the most blessed day and I hope something amazing happens today! ❤️
Thankfulness is needed daily as we all have coming good to thank God for!

January 29th, 2024

Happy Monday People! Being thankful comes easier for me to today than it ever has in my life and all because I know Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior! I know being thankful is necessary for all circumstances around us every day we get to live another day! No matter what is going on we always always have something to be thankful for and we need to focus on the good not the bad! Nothing stands still so whatever is happening will pass and the next thing will come along and we won’t even remember why we were upset with time in a lot of curcumstances! We thank God for the good and when we are happy and when things go “our” way but we also need to continue to thank God when things go wrong when a “speed bump” happens because God is still God and still working on our paths and he deserves our thankfulness daily! I learned this lesson hard a few years ago and when things were not going well I focused on the people and knowing I didn’t understand what was happening and I let it disrupt my life only because it was people I loved and still love and to this day still dont understand it but I learned to let it go! We can’t help what others feel nd do! I learned to call out to our God and with time I started having peace still don’t understand it but I have peace because God showed me my life and what I needed to do and that I understood! When things go wrong and it involves ones you love just ask God to show you peace and even though you may not understand it just be you because you deserve peace and respect and God made each one of us the way he wanted us! Just remember because you have peace and can move on other people may not and if someone doesn’t forgive you and want to make mends you can’t make them and if you try it may make it worse just pray and deal with yourself and God will take care of the others between he and them not your issue to deal with others and their path but it is Gods and he will! God deals with all of us with his way and each one of us he deals with in our own special way because each one of us have a different path but God knows! In my own circumstance I think I learned God was moving me and although I didn’t understand and hated how it was unfolding with others my focus was wrong and I made it worse as when we don’t understand something we try to “fix” something when we really don’t know why and I’m here to tell you that you cannot “fix” what you don’t understand! I think we all try to “fix” things daily without full understanding in so many areas of our lives! Pray and ask God to guide you and give you peace when something is happening that you don’t understand I promise it’s a better way not easier sometimes but better as we all need to take more time to understand! Have a beautiful and warm day ❤️.. I know I am!
MOTHERS… Deserve to have time and love for children!

January 27th, 2024

Happy Saturday People! So much for a mother in a lifetime! My mother didn’t have much and had 3 girls to raise and I believe she did the best she could with what she had and when she left this world I had many regrets of not doing more for her! I can tell you whether you have a good or bad relationship with your mother when she leaves this world you will wish you had done more than you did even if you did a lot! You will be the one to suffer with regret when that special someone goes to Heaven as they will be in their best life at that point but you will be left to deal with your thoughts and feelings that you can’t change while on earth! I tried my best as a young mither of two children 3 years apart and I can tell you I made many mistakes and the struggles were real! I love my kids with all I have and would do anything for them and although I made mistakes my kids are great adult humans! I can also tell you I would be a much better mother at 50 than I was at 20 just because of life experiences and priorities! When we are young parents we have to work a lot to make ends meet sometimes they do sometimes they don’t we think everything has to be clean and put up and in order and we struggle with enough time to take care of everything! When my kids were small I was that mom everything had a place put it there but as a Nana it is not the same! My two granddaughters and their friends come to my house and I let them run and do what they want I will cleanup when they go home! I miss having a house full of kids as when my kids were teens we had a houseful daily and I made sure they had things to do and food to eat and I don’t think many of them even knew my name I was just “mom” and I loved it and now most of the kids come here call me “nana” and I’m blessed every single time I hear it! If your child is one that stays here just know they are spoiled rotten and very well taken care of 🙂… Take the time needed while they are young I promise it doesn’t last that long before time moves and they are grown and I promise you will miss it!!! I don’t see my grands as much as I would love to but like my own as the kids get older time is less and less and as we grow older we miss it more and more! I think sometimes life is backwards as if only we knew at 20 what we know at 50 wow would life had been different at 20! I am thankful my God has let me grow older and wiser as some do not get that privilege .. use your time well as it doesn’t last as long as you think it does and if you think …. I will do it tomorrow or make things right tomorrow you very well might not get that chance as we are not promised another second! Take care of things today while you can and see how good life is after that! I hope everyone has a blessed day ❤️.. I know I am!
God has control …. Let him!

January 27th, 2024

Happy warm Friday People! This weather is a little all over the place but we are in Arkansas so it’s ok it’s all fine 🙂! Letting God have control sounds like the easiest thing but it’s probably sometimes the hardest thing ever! Our brains go into overdrive when things aren’t going so well we scramble trying to find a an answer we worry causing all kinds of issues we jump on decisions otherwise we would not touch so not only does it disrupt our lives it doesn’t solve anything and sometimes makes a bigger mess of things because of how we react! Life is not easy some days are easier than the other but everyday we make choices that will alter our lives one way or another and we all have days we make good choices with good consequences and we all have those days we react and jump and make the wrong choices and have harsh consequences! God wants us to be good he wants us to thrive he wants us to trust him in every way and I think sometimes he lets us go though things or put us in situations to make sure we trust him or have the time to pray and let him guide us! I have no doubt God has me and not everyday is good not all situations work out the way I think or feel they should but I do know God already knew and already had me I just need to take my blinders off and make sure the path isn’t the one I created or wanted and make sure I’m open enough to see Gods answers for my life as I’m sure they are different from mine because God is perfect in every way! When things are tough have faith and trust God and try to go atleast one day without that worry on your mind push it back pray for God to help you through the day without worry not just praying for God to send an solution or answer pray for peace in your mind so you can get the right things going! When we are bogged down with worry it shows all over us and we can’t function right therefore we are missing opportunities because we are letting yesterday ruin today… let today be the best day you have had in a long time let the worry go and pray and see how you feel this afternoon everytime that worry pops up stop pray and remind yourself of all the good in your life and remind yourself of your goals in life and make sure God is leading and then continue your worry free day!!! .. just give it a try I mean it won’t hurt it might even bring opportunities your way! ❤️.. today is a beautiful and blessed day
Help is on the way…. God!!!

January 25th, 2024

Happy Thursday People! Help is on the way…. even the song says so by TobyMac which I love! Isiah 41:13 says “For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you”. No God is always there and I do believe he puts things in motion before we pray but we need to pray as he wants to hear from us he wants us to need him and he is always there! Sometimes we think he isn’t helping but he is always helping we just need to make sure we aren’t missing it because we are looking for our ways and sometimes it’s hard but change how we see help … it matters! We all have bad days bad times bad situations every single one of us but we don’t always show that side or talk about it! I believe people need to see both sides so people don’t feel so alone! We look at others and think they sure have everything they have it made but do they as we don’t know from outside appearance! I get up every day to live and when I walk out my door and go to the office I put my smile on no matter what as life is good and just because I have a bad moment or time doesn’t change that so we never know what someone else is going through so be kind! I have my days I have my troubles I have my worries but no matter what I have my God and I know every choice makes a difference. I try not to let the bad moments get to me like I use to as I know all I need to do is stop pray and ask God to help me walk though it and he does and I know it! When we worry and react we make mistakes we make moves we wouldn’t otherwise make so before you do that out of worry stop pray and give it a minute so you don’t make it worse only to have to correct something else later after God has helped the first situation! Give God the time needed and give the situation a moment or the conversation a moment or the phone call a moment before reacting to as when when we react 99% of the time we wish we had waited and you would think at some point we would learn that but our minds take over when we are upset and I don’t care who you are we all do that at some point! Give things a moment give yourself a moment to calm down before reacting so our brains don’t take over in haste including myself! I have learned this took a minute as that was life but there is a better way I promise and it’s Gods way… try it out today when something or someone upsets you just stop pray take a breather then go back and deal with it as we can’t let things just go without resolution but we can work together to make it better 🙂 try it today I promise you will be glad you did! I hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful Thursday ❤️.. I know I am!
SECURITY… God has what we need to feel safe!

January 24th, 2024

Happy Wednesday People! Security… what makes you feel safe? For me God is my security and I have learned to call out to him whenever and wherever I am when I start feeling unsafe, worried, anxious etc… and let me tell you when your focus is on God during these times he does and will get you through it.. been there many times! We can worry all day and night, we get anxious and start making the wrong moves, we start doing thinking we will “fix” it and a lot of times we make it worse… pray talk to God and he will get you through in the best way possible if we have faith! When my eyes open of the morning before my feet hit the ground I thank God for another day then I pray for many before getting up as it takes a minute and then my feet hit the floor and I start my day and one of the first is reading Gods daily word to get my day started right then I post to share Gods word in hopes it helps someone else start their day! I would love to know if you love reading these post as I can’t seem to start my day without it and every morning I am so exited to read todays word to see what’s in store and share it with you! If you need security and to feel safe just talk to God I promise he’s there and will help through the strongest storms with ease! I hope you all have a blessed and warm day ❤️.. I know I am!
GRACE… we need it as much as we need to give it!

January 23rd, 2024

Happy Tuesday People! No one is perfect not one single person here on earth! People mess up say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, with the wrong person but guess what it doesn’t have to define you as it was a moment in your life … the past! People deserve Grace whether you believe it or not! If you have had a friendship or relationship or whatever it is for years and then one thing happens even a big thing and it splits that relationship completely around then it was bound to happen as sometimes people look for the first reason not to get along! Work it out or move on do not dwell on things out of your control! If someone has it in for you or against you more than likely anything you say or do will not change that as their mind is made up and sometimes it’s easier to be mad than make up but what is sad is what is missing … so much! All sides miss out on love, help, family and so much all because of something that happened yesterday last week last year last decade and all that time it stayed on your mind!!! Wouldn’t it be easier just to make up forgive give Grace just as our Jesus did for us! Look in the mirror and if you are not giving Grace to others why do you deserve it! Sometimes it’s hard to give Grace to others or even our selves but it’s deserved and I can tell you my God has given me so much grace over my life and is still giving it that I have no right not to give it back to people and I know it! We can be mad upset angry or whatever you want to call it but don’t live there! People who do you wrong avoid you as egos get in the way and other people but in the end all that matters is people and the relationship we have with them! People who do you wrong tell it to others then find it hard to make up because they know what they have told others and what will they say and then it becomes a struggle that bothers you suck it up and do the right thing and I promise the ones who talk back well just let it be as it will pass and someone else will be topic for a day! Life is good people are good and worth the effort and worth GRACE including yourself! So today give Grace to yourself or to someone else who deserves it from you and see how your life changes right before your eyes! Try it and let me know how it changes things all from a simple call or I’m sorry or please forgive me or however you need to say it and if that person doesn’t accept don’t worry you did your part so it’s off you now you can pray for them and yourself knowing you did the right thing! I hope each of you have a beautiful day and I believe it will be warmer today ❤️
GRACE… give it to receive it.. as we all need it!!

January 22nd, 2024

Happy Monday People! Still cold still some weather but life is good.. as we are awake and going! Grace… oh this is a good one! I am a firm believer to receive we must give and that is not always easy! We must give others Grace even when we don’t really want to as we only see the surface of people and what is going on and it runs deeper than that! When we are dealing with people and they get mad upset or angry at us we tend to react I’ve always done that until the last couple of years as I learned and yes the hard way but it stuck! I have learned there’s a reason for everything and when someone is upset getting upset right back at them solves nothing and one person just needs to take the better road and try to remain calm and see if it can be worked out! I wish I had always done this but I haven’t but I can tell you it’s a much better way and easier on everyone including yourself! Take the time to understand the other person give grace as we all need it! Give Grace to others if you want the same Grace and I can tell you not one of us are perfect not one so we all need it at some point and time! We all do and say things that at some point we wish we hadn’t and it’s usually when we are upset scared angry whatever it is because it’s the emotion we are in and I have learned take a breather stand back think on it pray on it and then talk with the other person just know the other person may not think that way so just be you do the right thing and continue to bless others no matter what the other person does .. I know that is hard to do sometimes but it’s worth it I promise! I hope everyone has a blessed day and stay warm out there! ❤️
TRUST God and let that self doubt go!!

January 21st, 2024

Happy COLD Sunday People! Bundle up and get prepared we have a new week 🙂! DOUBT??? Doubt can do so much damage without really thinking about it. Something pops in our mind or someone tells us something and we run with it without even verifying or giving it the benefit of a doubt so why do we do that! We are humans and scared of the future sometimes scared of losing scared someone will do something we don’t say it but we are so when something gets in our head we can all think about it so much we make it truth and even justify it! Don’t believe the bad everytime it’s brought up don’t believe the doubt the devil puts in your head! When doubt comes quickly knock it out before it sets up residency and ruins things you have been working on… life is good people are good think positive and be around positive people as it makes a huge difference! It’s like a domino effect once you believe the negative or doubt yourself then you start spiraling downward and before you know it you have wasted a week on what a “thought” or a “whisper from someone”! Before believing things check them out make sure you are not doubting yourself or making things worse just because of a thought or someone gossiping in your ear as you never know the person making you doubt yourself could be the problem! Not everyone supports you not everyone is proud of you so make sure you are around the right company and with people who support you and are proud and want to see you succeed! Be your own person pray and make decisions based on facts not lies, gossip or self doubt.. push through and when you think you’re on your last inch of rope pull a little harder as you didn’t come that far to give up… keep reaching for what you want and where you want to be in life… it’s worth the effort! Pray and give God all the glory today and let’s all have a beautiful day ❤️
