saw this little guy this morning, he reminded me that even thought its dark, raining out and my circumstances bare the same resemblance life is to short to to be sad. so i decided to smile today and share a scripture and some encouragement keep moving forward my friends.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (psalms 23
We’ve all been in seasons of life when we feel like things aren’t going our way, or we’re not where we want to be. In these times, it’s tempting to let discouragement and doubt come in and take away the peace and excitement you once had.

You may be in one of those seasons right now, struggling to truly be happy where you are. But this is not the way God wants you to live. He tells us in scripture that even in the difficult times, He is with us. Even when you can’t see a way out, He will make a way through. Even when things don’t turn out the way we planned, He has a plan to turn things around for our good.

The key is, don’t get upset about your circumstances. Instead, be determined to walk through to victory. Declare by faith that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Declare by faith that you are rising higher. Keep standing, keep believing and keep hoping because God has a bright future in store for you!

Sometimes we need a place of refuge, we need a place of safety, and we need a place to rest when we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances of life — a place where the enemy of our soul can never find us.

The good news is that God has the perfect hiding place for you! You don’t have to hide in your job. You don’t have to hide in relationships. You don’t have to hide in food or addictions because God Himself promises to hide you! He freely offers you shelter from the storms of life any time you call upon His name.

"in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock" Psalm 25:5

Love can heal the hurt...

Momma kiss the hurt
Band aids cover the hurt
Doctors medicate the hurt
Surgeons remove bits and peices of the hurt
Attorneys argue the hurt
Grandmas pray over for the hurt
But ONLY GOD can heal the hurt

Luke 8:50 Jesus said " dont be afraid just ahve Faith and she will be healed"

"in due time"

being frustrated does nothing for the situation you are in. I'm well aware of how one feels when you want things to be done "NOW" .. But God's timing is perfect.

Even when we don't think things will get better or that your life will change. God's good plan does take time and often more time then we anticipate. Seeing the fulfillment of it requires a willingness to wait for the blessing in due season. Levitcus 26:4 says "i will give you rain in due season", believe that God knows when we are ready and when everyone else involved is ready and when it fits into God's corporate plan, you will see your life change , you will see all those blessings God has promised.

Have faith today that God is working behind the scenes for you. enjoy where you are while your are on the way to where you are going. God's timing is perfect and being frustrated will not make him hurry Enjoy today because right now it's all you have!

speak God's love over your life

• Today, tune out those negative voices, and you will hear God’s voice, speaking blessings over you, speaking favor over you, infusing you with strength.


Because Jesus said-do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear only keep on believing(mark 5:36)

Psalm 138:8 says. His love for you endures forever. Let that promise fill you with hope!

• The power to see change in your life can be found in the words you speak. You have the power to set the destiny for your life by what comes out of your mouth.

Because what ever you ask for in prayer having FAITH and really believing you WILL RECEIVE (mathe21:22)

• Be confident that whatever comes your way today, you will be empowered to handle it.

Because the lord supported you He will lead you to a place of safety he will rescue you because HE DELIGHTS IN YOU!! (2sma22:19-20)

Something New....

As 2011 comes to a close, as you reflect on the events of the past year and look forward to a new beginning in 2012. YOU ARE NEW , you are a brand new creation your eternal being or the spirit on the inside of you is recreated in CHRIST the old is gone and the new has come

 He is a God of increase, a God of blessing, a God who takes us from glory to Glory. That means no matter what happened in 2011, don't start 2012 with a just-get-by mentality. Don't look for "good enough," look for "more than enough!" Our God is able and our God is willing. He loves you with an everlasting love. As you increase your capacity to receive from Him, He will meet your expectation and fill you to overflowing.

The old life is gone - a new life has begun (2 Coring 5:17

the season is changing, and the cold weather is here, and winter is quickly approaching. But one thing remains the same Gods good plan.

my friends God knows your troubles, your emotions and your struggles but God knows away and if you keep standing firm in your corner God will bless your way out..

PATIENCE

Out for my daily walk on the beach I made a new friend.

As he is patiently crawling his way to the other side  I was reminded that its ok to slow down and be still. Sometimes the last thing one wants is  to be is still and patient when our circumstances dictates otherwise; but my little friend reminded me that  even  if you must crawl your way out of one problem at a time its ok because GOD is with you;

Romans 5 3-4
Let us be full of joy let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings knowing that pressure and affliction and hardships produce PATIENCE and endurance- Endurance develops maturity of character - and character produces confidence.

God's creation

GENESIS:

God said let their be light: God said let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed and fruit trees

god created the sea and God blessed everything every animal, vegetation to multiply. God said everything he created was GOOD very good. I hope you enjoy these beautiful pictures of the animals from my local Zoo, and remember God loves you and everything else he created for you to enjoy. Blessings to you all my friends.

Think BIG...

Don't think small when you pray. God has a way to bring your dreams to pass if you'll dare to be bold enough to ask. His resources and abilities are unlimited, so dream big! The victories you’ve had in your past are not even going to compare to the incredible victories God has for you in your future. It's time to expect bigger and better things

"For the Lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and He will give you victory!" (Deuteronomy 20:4).

Fun at the beach

Sunday i went to the beach, it was very HOT and it was difficult trying to stay cool, but as i was walking along the beach i noticed some beautiful sand sculptures and i had to share....

Amazing huh.....

Wait there is more.....

this was the winner, beautiful.. it is amazing how this was done.

Dont be a slave.......

2 Peter 2:19 says, "You are a slave to whatever controls you." You can be a slave to a bad attitude, a slave to worry, a slave to lust, a slave to food. In the scope of your destiny, it's a small thing to let a bad temper control you. It's a small thing to let fear or worry control you. Your destiny is too great. Your assignment is too important. Your future is too bright to let something small hold you back. How do we resist temptation? In Matthew 26:41 Jesus said, "Pray that you don't enter into the temptation." Notice He didn't say, "Pray that you'll never be tempted." "God, please don't let me have a negative thought. God, please don't ever let me have a wrong desire." That's not realistic. He said, "Pray that you don't enter into the temptation." The reason many people keep giving in to the same thing year after year is because they never ask God for His help. We can't overcome temptation on our own or break addictions in our own strength. We need God's help. We have to humble ourselves and say, "God, I don't want to be critical and sour. Help me to have a good attitude." "God, my mouth keeps getting me into trouble. Help me to bite my tongue and not say things that I shouldn't." "God, I don't want to watch the wrong things. I don't want to pollute my mind." If you ask God to help you, He will give you the strength to overcome.

Today, I encourage you to make up your mind that things can be different. This is a new day, and you don't have to give in to the same old temptations. The enemy doesn't have any new tricks. He's going to keep pushing those same buttons. But if you will dig your heels in and stand strong, even if the temptation doesn't go away, God will give you the strength to overcome it. You don't have to be a slave to self-pity, a slave to a bad attitude, or a slave to an addiction. God created us to be free, and today is your day of freedom! Call on the name of the Lord and He will help you. He will strengthen you and empower you to overcome so you can live the life of victory He has in store for you!

Value every moment

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”


(Psalm 90:12, NIV)

Sometimes, our days can be so full and busy that we forget how precious and fragile life here on earth really is. It can be so easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t go our way, or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to get our focus off if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the beauty that each day has to offer.
I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable. You have been given time that can be invested or wasted; hours that can be used or misused. That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Teach us to number our days.” He was saying, “Teach us to value every moment we’ve been given.” As you keep a proper perspective, you’ll gain a heart of wisdom. You’ll draw closer to God and experience the full blessing that He has for you!

step out in faith

STEP OUT AND FIND OUT!

Faith is all about stretching. Your obstacles, challenges, even opportunities may seem intimidating and overwhelming, but God would not have presented them to you if He had not already known that you have what it takes.

It's important to keep your faith in God. He is in control, even in times of difficulty. He is directing your steps and turning tough situations around. How

When we're tested, it shows what's in us… not what we think is in us, but what's really in us.

‎"For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything He does" (Psalm 33:4). Don't lose faith in God, no matter the situation. He is completely trustworthy.

you are valuable.....

“And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us...”


(Ephesians 5:2, AMP)

In today’s culture, we don’t often hear the word esteem used very much, yet, scripture tells us to esteem and delight in one another. One definition of esteem is to hold in high regard. That means we are to honor and value one another. Even if we don’t always agree with one another, even if they don’t necessarily act honorably, we are to honor and esteem others because they are valuable in the eyes of God.

Think of it this way: if you had a costly and valuable piece of jewelry, you wouldn’t just wear it to the gym or leave it on the kitchen sink. No, you would treat it carefully. You would put it in a safe place and protect it. Well, when we see others as valuable the way God sees them, we will treat them carefully as well. We should be careful in the way we talk to others. We should look for the good in them and honor them for who God made them to be.

Lift up your eyes

When we are depressed, it seems everything around us is falling apart. We lose strength our heads and hands and hearts all begin to hand down. Even our eyes and our voices are lowered. We become downcast because we are looking at our problem rather than at GOD.

God encourages us. Psalm 24:7- lift up your heads and  the king of glory may come in
Genesis 12:14 lift up your eyes and look around in all direction for god will bless you

decide to lift up your head and eyes and look at the possibilities not the problems around you. Trust God to lead us into an even better situation.  We must never magnify the facts of our circumstances above God and the power of his Word. When God speaks THINGS CHANGE!!!

Have faith that God is speaking to your circumstances today.  If you place your faith in God he will bless you everywhere you hurt! GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS!

God has chosen you

you may feel like an "errand runner" or that life has overlooked you. You've done your best, but maybe you haven't seen the results you anticipated. Or maybe you've been through some disappointments and now you're tempted to think, Oh what's the use? I'll never get out of this situation. I'll never accomplish my dreams. But don't believe those lies! God hasn't overlooked you; in fact, He holds your future in the palm of His mighty hand!

Have confidence today because God has called you and chosen you. You are handpicked by Him, and He is ordering your steps. When you go through setbacks or when people leave you out, remember, God is working behind the scenes. He'll take what the enemy meant for harm in your life and turn it around for your good when all is said and done. Today, stay in faith, and keep moving forward one step at a time because you are chosen and equipped to overcome every obstacle in this life!

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit… (John 15:16, NIV).

Faith

Faith is the light that leads us out of the darkness and the map that guides our way. Without faith, we would likely pull over on the side of the road, give up and watch everyone else pass us by. Realize that faith is like a muscle; trouble and opposition may strain it, but in the end it will grow stronger.

Faith is that indescribable strength, that secret weapon of the soul, which allows us to persevere even when the facts seem damning and the truth unbearable. It is what keeps us going when travel conditions are unfavorable and we’re not sure we can continue.

resurrection of your spirit

But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ"


(1 Corinthians 15:57, NLT

This weekend, we will be celebrating Easter, the resurrection of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So much happened at Calvary's cross over two thousand years ago; but ultimately, Jesus overcame sin and death so that we could have abundant life! Because of Jesus, we have victory over anything that would try to hold us back!
No matter what bondage, stronghold, sin or addiction has held you captive in the past, when you receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you receive His power—His burden-moving, yoke-destroying anointing. Sin can't hold you back any longer because whom the Son sets free is free indeed! (See John 8:36) It all starts by believing and receiving this promise. The more you meditate on His Word, the more of His power becomes activated in you. Today, know that you are free and you have victory! Receive this truth and let it lead you to transform your being from the inside out!

God will finish what he started

I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns"

(Philippians 1:6, NLT

It's interesting that the last thing Jesus said on the cross was "it is finished." It certainly looked like the end. It looked like it was over. But I believe that wasn't just a statement of fact; it was a statement of faith. He was saying to His Father, "I've done My part. I've fulfilled My destiny. Now I've got total trust and confidence in You that You are going to finish what You started." Even though it looked like the end, in reality, it was only the beginning.

When it looks dark in your own life and things aren't going your way, dare to make that declaration of faith just like Jesus. "It is finished." What you're really saying is "God, I know You are going to turn this situation around. I know You are going to heal my body. I know You are going to restore my family. I know You are going to give me the breaks that I need." Don't go around complaining. Speak victory over your circumstances. Trust that He is faithful and that He will complete what He's started in you!

Metamorphose

One of the most amazing transformations in the Bible happened when Saul — former persecutor of Christians — encountered God on the road to Damascus (see Acts 9). After his encounter, he was so radically changed from the inside out that even his name was changed to Paul. He began preaching the gospel, and eventually, went on to write much of the New Testament.

When you have a supernatural encounter with Almighty God, something is going to happen. Something is going to be transformed inside of you and radiate out into every part of your being, affecting every part of your life! Today, I want to encourage you to prepare your heart to expect God’s supernatural touch in your life. Open the eyes of your heart to Him. I pray that you experience God in such a way that every bondage is broken off of your life, and you are forever changed by a supernatural encounter with Him!
