Walk with God daily as he will protect, inspire and guide you every step of the way! ❤️

September 24th, 2024

Happy Tuesday People! Walking with God has many meanings and different ways and it ups to each one of us to find our way with God! I ask God to guide me every single day and I try hard to listen and follow his guide and as most I get off track or take a wrong turn every now and then but thankfully God is always waiting right where we parted and he waits for us to come back to him with open arms! God has opened so many doors for me it’s unbelievable at times to me and I know I missed those open doors for years but everything happens as it should and I know my God never gave up on me as I’m living proof where I stand today! I pray daily for God to open doors and close doors as needed! We all make mistakes we all do and say things we wish we could take back and I for one want to please God and I try evey day to do better than I did yesterday! I don’t understand people sometimes when they stop talking to someone because of a choice they made for their own life or not forgiving someone when forgiveness when asked because God forgave every single one of us time after time who are we to deny forgiveness to others! People get mad and upset for years and takes time off their life and for what to be mad and gossip we should strive to do better with society and our families and help one another and work together play together and love together! I could talk all day long about the doors God opened for me and I share them a lot because I’m proud of God and myself and where I came from and where I am today as you should be of yourself! God isn’t done with me yet as I know he has more doors to open and I believe there is a big door opening soon .. I feel it and can’t wait to open that door and share it ❤️… go out today be good to people be good to yourself and enjoy the life God has for you … ❤️… I know I AM!
Don’t let unforgivness harden your heart.. God forgave you now it’s your turn! ❤️

Happy Wednesday People!

The condition of our heart affects the conditions of our relationships!

First to forgive… I personally think people let their egos get in the way of this! People vent to others and say things then it’s hard to go back because of egos… let the egos go they don’t matter what matters is people and family and friends that is what matters! We get mad we say things we really don’t mean we vent to the wrong people we all have done it including myself and it shouldn’t make life terrible it’s a moment we need to learn how to not be so offended and forgive one another and move on with life! When we don’t forgive and really move on we ruin relationships for years and over what.. well after so many years people don’t even remember why but took years off your happiness! Don’t let that be you life is short forgive one another as I promise God has forgiven every single one of us as none of us are perfect we all make mistakes we all say and do things we wish we cold take back and if you think you have never done any of those things well I’m sorry but God is the only perfect one before us! I have made my share of mistakes plus some but that doesn’t make me a bad person doesn’t make me unworthy it makes me human and when you finally get to a point that you know and feel God has forgiven you then you forgive yourself and move on and enjoy your life as it’s meant to be! Not all people will forgive and I pray for those as life is hard enough without us making it harder on ourselves. If you think staying mad and not forgiving people is an good look better look again because it isn’t it shows cold and hardened hearts and it breaks my heart to see that because life is good people are good we just make mistakes like the next person! Don’t ruin lives and littles ones futures because your heart is stone cold take today and start figuring out how God forgave and the love people have it’s amazing and makes life a lot better 😊 I think we make life harder than it needs to be and that ego and the devil need to go as like I said people are good and we need one another! Go out and forgive someone today and really forgive and give it another chance .. I bet you will be surprised as life never remains the same people never remain the same it all changes with time but we have to see it and give it a chance! Have a beautiful day … ❤️…. I know I AM!! 😊
Purpose.. go out today with purpose and make sure God is in it!! ❤️

August 16th, 2024

Happy Friday People…. Purpose… what does this mean… I think it depends on you and your thoughts!

When we receive God’s word and understand it, it will produce fruit in our lives.

The Lord is and has fulfilled his purpose for me and it wouldn’t have taken as long had I not been so stubborn and thought I could do things on my own…. Are you struggling to get where you think you need to be are you struggling in your job family coworkers and friends … maybe just maybe you need to let go and let God! When God is leading you life is easier it’s not without trials it’s not without struggles but I promise you it’s easier! I do believe we go through trials and hard times to grow in our God to know that we do need God and to get where God wants us! If we didn’t go through these hard times we would not grow in God we would not depend on God and that’s what our God wants is for us to rely trust obey and honor him! Let your light shine for God daily so others see it and yes we do fall in the mud once in awhile but that’s ok because when God picks us up we have just gained more trust more love and more belief! Keep in mind not everyone will forgive you love you support you and be for you and that’s ok that’s life because you do not need everyone’s approval you just need to make sure you are doing what God wants… it isn’t always easy because sometimes we don’t understand and that is hard but just pray about it and know that God has this! We think when someone is against us they hate us they don’t support us but sometimes I think it’s on them and what they are dealing with and maybe God is working on them just as much as he is working on you…. just pray for the ones you struggle with love them and be there when they need you and God will turn it around! Incase you didn’t know God has all the power has all the strength to do everything we can’t! Let God be God and listen and do as he asks and when you fall in that mud just pray for forgiveness and learn and each day gets better each day gets brighter and each day more joy fills your heart so that you can share it with others and be Gods light!!! ❤️.. go out today and share God someway somehow as you may be the only one to lift that person you meet and they may need it today! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I AM!!!
Be thankful Be blessed and be a blessing! ❤️

Happy Thursday People!!! So much to be thankful for … so much! I am so thankful most of all that God never gave up on me and that he restored me and that he picks me up time after time and I know where my final resting place will be with zero doubt! If you do not know our God you are missing out.. I know there are so many opinions out there and this one is mine and you have yours so choose wisely! It’s hard to see the unknown it’s hard to believe what you can’t see it’s hard to trust anyone… once you allow God in your heart and you see all of these things it’s absolutely amazing! God is the only one who will always be there no matter what the only one with the ultimate unconditional love and the only one with all the forgiveness you will ever need. I wake up and the first thing on my mind is thanking God for all he has done for being there for all he is doing and will do… first thing … just start somewhere! Eveyone is in a different phase and we all have to learn and grow to get somewhere but you don’t move if you don’t start! We can’t let our past lives rule the future lives because we all change daily life changes daily… once you have God and feel the love that I feel for our God everything in life changes I mean everything… peace comes over you in floods and things don’t upset you like they use to you forgive more easily you love more … this morning I’m thankful for waking up to another day, having my Kevin because I know he loves me more than anything, having a home I’m proud of, having coffee to start my day, getting to go to my work, having a vehicle to get there, having a team I’m so incredibly proud of to work with .. I could go on all day long with all the things I’m thankful for so many… wake up this morning and be thankful for what you have no matter what it is and be thankful for the family around you the friends around you and everything you get to do and are able to do today I promise it matters and it will start your day right. Days are long and obstacles come throughout the day so don’t let it start off by being grumpy and thinking about yesterday’s problems today is today and it’s up to you how you start it… mine is starting great and I’m thankful for this beautiful life ❤️.. go out and be blessed and be a blessing to others… I know I AM! 😊
GOD DOESN’T NEED OUR PERFORMANCE… HE WANTS OUR SURRENDER! ❤️

July 11th, 2024

Happy Thursday People! Oh how I love this and nomatter what happens this I know! People say they love unconditionally but they really don’t because if we mess up they fall off if we say the wrong thing they walk away if we don’t do what they think we should they gossip.. we have all done it! If someone walks away because you mess up well honestly it was coming sooner than later and as hard as it is we can’t make others love us no matter and usually we make it worse so let go and let God fill that void until it changes! We live we learn we all mess up but never walk away from the ones who love you who support you and who will always be there for you as one day you will miss that person and regret the time lost that you can never get back.. I know and so do so many others! God has the ultimate unconditional love and I have seen it felt it and I have it and I am so thankful he never gave up on me while I was learning while I was making mistakes while I was growing! I know I have my Gods unconditional love and I know he’s there for me no matter what and wow what a feeling! If you do not know God or feel his presence I promise you are not enjoying life like you think! Find God let him lead and your life will be filled with peace even during the hard times it will be filled with joy no matter the issues surrounding you trust me I know and have it! I have things going on in my life that are hard to take sometimes and miss some that I love terribly but even with that I get up I smile I do what is needed and I enjoy life because I have God and so many that I love and that love me and I know it! Don’t let the small sides that bring you down override the good and happy side as we have a tendency to dwell on the negative and overlook the positive .. why I don’t know but we do! Enjoy life enjoy the good enjoy the ones that support and love you and give that back… it matters! Most of all love our God and let him love you as it is the absolute ultimate love you will ever have and ever find and nothing compares! I hope you have the most wonderful day and don’t forget to thank God and let him lead… ❤️….. I know I AM!
BE WORTHY… you deserve it!!!

June 20th, 2024

Happy Thursday People! Oh how I love today’s read as I know I am a child of God! I didn’t always know that I didn’t always believe I was worthy and that hindered everything I did and people around me! I am worthy and so are you!! No matter where you came from no matter what you have done or think you have done no matter how many mistakes you made no matter the people don’t let you forget those mistakes… I promise you are worthy… ask God and I promise you will never regret it letting God fill your soul with love kindness and redemption!! God redeemed me and I am worthy and not one person on earth not one can take that away from me or you! You are the only one who can take that as sometimes we don’t believe it sometimes we put ourselves down and there’s no need as I promise there are others doing that some we know about some we don’t! God hears all conversations and sometimes that’s why people are taken out of out lives because we may not understand but we probably don’t want to hear some of those conversations about us as some come from the people closest to us and the ones we love the most! Love your yourself forgive yourself be worthy and show it because I promise you deserve it! Go out today and be a child of God and let others not only know that but feel that when they are around you.. BE WORTHY AND DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS THAN YOU DESERVE!! ! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I AM!!
WAITING… not easy but needed as Gods way is always best!

June 19th, 2024

Happy Wednesday People! Waiting … this is not an easy one for me any way you look at it as I’ve never been patient and I’ve never been good at waiting …. But I’ve learned and I’m learning waiting is sometimes necessary and needed for many things! I’ve had things on my mind forever it seems but everytime I think I’m going to step out and say or do something God reminds me “im working” don’t jump in and mess up the progress I’ve already started so I remind myself just wait Gods working on it and his outcome is fact where mine would make it worse .. so I’m learning just wait! When someone makes you mad or sad we want to jump out and react once again my name was by this word in the dictionary I’m pretty sure but it’s slowly fading because with God by my side I can accomplish what is needed and if God is for me who can be against me ❤️.. waiting not only gives God the chance to help smooth the your path but it also keeps us from making something worse than it already is or causing more time and work for God! Pray about situations and wait doesn’t matter if an hour a week a year or 10 years .. wait on God!!! It’s worth the wait I promise and there is a reason for the time as everything takes time and people take time and solutions take time the only thing we should not have time for is negativity complaining and judging others…say your prayers about life and any situation you may have going on then go about your day thanking God for the answers and changes he is bringing and let it be don’t step in don’t try to make it better because the evil one is trying to convince you just do this it will make it better just do that and it will be changed… no it won’t pray and let God!!!! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I AM!!!
Reflect God more and more each day and see what a better way of life is like!

June 12th, 2024

Happy Wednesday People! Oh this is a hard one and stings a little for all of us myself included at some point in time! I didn’t always reflect God and I still mess up just not as bad 🙂! Before we let God lead us we go at lire on our own thinking we can handle anything and take care of anything and sadly we can’t or we can’t in a good way and we usually make wrong choices a lot! I try hard to do the right thing I’m not perfect and neither are you and I make mistakes but these days I am much calmer and don’t let things or other peoples opinion push my buttons anywhere near like I use to! It’s hard not to let others irritate us but I did it and I let others ruin days I let others control my feelings I let others convince me of things I didn’t need as we all do! Once you start living for God and do what he guides you to do others opinions and influence do not matter because you found your way you found your voice and you live the way God guides you! We are not perfect so we will still have our days but life is better with God leading in every sense imaginable! When someone is pushing your buttons and some do it on purpose just to try to trip us up, just stop breath, pray and ask God to help calm you and give you peace! We don’t always have to agree with one another we don’t have to like what the other is doing but we can agree to disagree and remain friends/family we don’t have to like what the other is doing but that’s not our concern! Everyone has a different path and once you live your path even when people don’t understand just keep following your own path and it will be good and at some point people will see or they won’t! Be you be yourself follow your own path and do what makes you happy as in the end the only one who matters is our God! He will be waiting with open arms when I arrive and although I have made mistakes I know he sees my heart and soul and I know he will be pleased as I’m trying my best! Go out today and live life and when the buttons are pushed just stop and take a breather as others can only upset us if we allow it and let’s not allow it and reflect God today and have a beautiful day… I know I AM ❤️
A new attitude brings a new desire!

June 11th, 2024

Happy Tuesday People! Once again I feel as though my two devotions line up with one another with me anyway! When I post these of the morning they are about my life experiences and some that I hear others talk about it because we need to share all times with people so they know they are not alone in what we they are going through! When we finally let God lead us the past the mistakes the wrong choices will follow you your entire life trust me I know but it doesn’t have to define you! Why people don’t harp on the good things and the new you is beyond me… let’s do better! There are people in our lives who let the past go and only see you for you today but we also have the ones who like to talk and bring up past mistakes even from 20/30 years ago … why I don’t know but they do! Maybe they think if they tell people about past mistakes they will like that person a little less and them a little more but what they are missing is people can like/love all and we can lift one another up instead of tearing down and build our families like we should! When you hear something about someone don’t automatically judge them because I promise you didn’t ask why they made that choices and until you walk in someone else’s shoes you don’t know and most don’t ask they just judge and we all know we have done that not even knowing the truth….. so stop doing that as I promise if you look in the mirror you have some things you aren’t proud of and don’t want to be judged for! Making mistakes and bad choices is part of growing up and learning and once you let God lead there are people who will be jealous and don’t understand why you are blessed so keep letting God lead and be you and be proud of you! Do not let anyone convince you that you are not worthy, not beautiful, not smart, not worthy of a changed life because you are! If you have people around you who do not support you, love you, forgive you and lift you up and let your past go walk away and find those who do because it matters! Never ever let someone else control how you feel when there are hundreds of people out there who will support, love, forgive and lift you daily! Change your thoughts to positive and see your good and that alone will bring a better attitude therefore a new desire! I promise you deserve it so go after it and let the ones who talk, gossip and judge go and just pray for them and maybe just maybe they will change as well one day! We all deserve grace and good people surrounding us don’t forget it! I hope today you see yourself in a new light so pray before you leave the house and do things different today knowing you are worthy you are good and you deserve the best… I know IAM! ❤️
Enjoy life every day no matter what you are doing! God is with us everywhere ❤️

June 8th, 2024

Happy Saturday People! I have two devotionals I like to read and this morning they lined up and for good reason! We have Joy in the Lord no matter what we are doing!! I am getting better and better and knowing that and feeling that! When I work on the farm it’s pure joy to me as I’m blessed to have this farm and it’s usually side by side with Kevin and he is a blessing to me so it’s joy! I love what I do for work and the people I am around every day they give me pure joy and I don’t think they realize just how much of a blessing they are to me! My kids my grands my family all my joy! Is everything perfect in my life absolutely not far from it there are several things that are not where they should be and I continually pray daily for those things and people but I am not losing my joy of today over what isn’t right and could change tomorrow and it will I just have to be patient! This weekend I took some time to be with grands and grands friends 🙂 and my heart is full as it started yesterday and was an absolute great day and today is day 2 and it will be another blessed and great day! I love these kids as I know my time with them is short and every day I get to spend with them is a joy! I thank God every single day for what he has done for me and doing the times he has forgiven me and still loved me for the days of prayer and those days that brought prayer to pass and for the ones that he didn’t as I know God knows best and I want what God wants for me and I pray he uses me every single day no matter what the task! Go out today and enjoy life whether you are playing working or just sitting alone with God enjoy what is in front of you so you can enjoy even more what’s to come! Life is good people are good let’s be there for one another! Have a blessed day ❤️.. I know I AM!!
