MY PRAYER

Dear Yahwey, my Father in Heaven,

In all that I say and do, I pray I bring glory and honor to your most Holiest Name.  You sustain me, You love me and sometimes You chasten me.  Most times You bless me even though I don't deserve it but that's because You raise me up to be the best I can be.

I pray for forgiveness and I pray for the grace to forgive anyone who hurts me.  I pray for those who hate me for Your Name that they may be unblinded to the Truth of Jesus Christ, my Lord, my Savior, my reason to breathe.

Today I witnessed Your grace first-hand.  My prayers were heard and answered.  To my knowledge, no one was killed today because of the horrors and shame of the last year.  I feel as if You extended grace back to America even though we went against Israel.  I pray that our allegiance to Israel has been finally restored.  I also pray Your Name will be honored in our public square once again.

Your grace is amazing, Your love is something no human words can describe.  If tomorrow everything falls away, Your Word stands forever and I got to witness Your love in action today once again.  In Jesus Christ's Name I pray to you, my Father, who art in Heaven!

BEST INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO IN A LONG, LONG TIME - MUST SEE!!!!

One of the best, most inspirational videos I've ever seen.  Go grab tissues, toilet paper or hubby/wife's sleeve cos if you have a heart, you're gonna need it.  It's about 10 minutes long but you MUST watch every single second.  God is alive and well!  We knew that but....

NOW THE WORLD WILL.  BE BLESSED, SAVE AND HAPPY!

INSPIRATIONAL, HEARTWARMING AND MUST SEE VIDEO



EPHESIANS 2:8-9 = GRACE!

"For ye are SAVED by GRACE through Faith and NOT of YOURSELF.  It is a GIFT OF GOD.  NOT of works (nor deeds) lest ANY man should BOAST."

IF there be any verse in the Bible I love more than the others, this one (along with Romans 8:28) has got to be my favorite.  Here is why...

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God.  That's Romans 3:28, btw.  We serve a righteous and HOLY God Yahwey.  I know that there is nothing I can do, say, think or feel that would ever meet HIS standards of righteousness.  I'd go to hell as fast as a speeding bullet, even if I obeyed every singe law written 99.99999% of the time.  I'd pretty much have to live in total isolation but I'm positive I'd still sin.  My own standards of righteousness, which aren't very high to be honest (I tend to have loopholes in mine, lol but God does NOT), I am unable to even come close to them and I'm a human.  If I can't achieve my own "reasonable" degree of holiness and righteousness, I'll never meet Yahwey's.  It's that simple.  


See, right now I'm not real pleased with my attitude.  I am very much first and foremost a Christian, then a wife, mother of 5 grown kids, mommy to 3 pet babies, a very caring and giving person and can forgive anyone but myself.  Somewhere in that list I am also extremely conservative politically.  I also know what I am not.  I'm not a racist, bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, deplorable and I am certainly not unredeemable but even more important, I KNOW I am not nor ever will be on this side of Heaven, be perfect.  Paul said he was the "chief of sinners."  Well, Paul never met me, lol.  

It has been a very hard year.  The country, church, friends and family are so divided today.  I will be honest, it is extremely annoying to see these "young to old adults" throwing temper tantrums, wailing at the unfairness of it all, screaming for violence, DOING violent acts, etc.  It is driving me INSANE.  That's one reason I DID take time off the computer.  I had had enough.  It's OVER.  We have a new president, Donald J. Trump, and like it or not, there is nothing you can or should even attempt to do anything about.  If you are anti-Trump, God doesn't give up on you, don't judge Trump or look at what he may or may not have done in the past.  Remove the board out of your own eye first...remember???  The only thing that matters now is what he does and doesn't do starting today.  Do not fear, he will be THE most watched man in the world, lol.  We also have checks and balances; fail safes in case any POTUS tries to take over and go against our Constitution.  Many come close to crossing the line but never cross it.  Neither will Trump.  God is sovereign and not one thing will happen that He doesn't have planned but it won't always be what we want or think of as good either.  However, we are promised in Romans 8:28 that ALL things will work out, be they good OR bad.  Trust God, not Trump or any "man."


So I am fighting an ugly battle with self lately and my flesh.  I have this nasty little attitude of "We won, you lost, hahahaha.  Grow up and get over it.  I TOLD YOU SO."  That's what I'm thinking, feeling and saying and I don't like it.  Yet it gives me great pleasurable emotions when I do.  No, I am not happy with myself and I highly doubt Christ Jesus is overly thrilled with me either.  I want to feel empathy, compassion and grace towards this childish behavior but I don't.  It will go away soon but this is why Ephesians 2:8-9 means so much to me right now.  I am SAVED.  I am saved by GRACE and not because of what I do and say or don't do or so.  I am also forgiven for this character flaw I'm so guilty of tonight and it too will pass. I am so grateful though that when it is gone, I'll have learned something more valuable than gold.  If I wasn't saved, He wouldn't be convicting me.  I'm going to try to fix this attitude but in the end, I can't.  However, the One Who will, walks on water!

God bless you all.  Be safe and God won.  I noticed a theme over the last 24 hours and His name, the Bible or scripture was mentioned more times in the last 2 days than I've seen in the last 2 years!  God is GOOD!

HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY!

I sure have missed you all, especially being on my Google communities.  Wow, it's been almost 2 months.  I am so sorry but I just had so much to do and I needed a HUGE dose of the Holy Spirit.  God is faithful.  Now that I've been ready, every single day something new...and exciting...has happened that's prevented me from jumping in.  From time with God all the way to finding an old friend, I've just been greatly blessed.  I've found so much I want to share and tell you all I've learned but something (sometimes just life stuff) has prevented it.  So.....

Today is THE day I've been looking forward to for a year.  While I have never been political a day in my life, I got pulled into this nightmare kicking and screaming all the way.  So yeah, that screaming you heard WASN'T IN YOUR MIND, LOL.  It was ME!  All kidding aside, since this nightmare will officially be over (I pray) as of noon tomorrow, it is my prayer that my life gets back to doing what I want and that is to love and worship Christ JePlasus.  I've lost most of my family, a few friends but reconnected with long lost friends who I have greatly missed and well, found YOU guys.  You've literally helped me stay sane this last year.  It was the worst for me being all alone in a new state, having no one and basically disowned by my ultra-liberal family.  There's a saying that goes...friends are better than family because you CHOOSE your friends.  I love my family but I've lost almost all respect for them.  They didn't respect me to begin with so what did I lose?  I feel I gained everything.  I am at peace, happy, and have some pretty awesome friends and serve THE only true living and AMAZING God!  


So, be happy, blessed and safe tomorrow.  Play the "I'm keeping my mouth shut" card as often as needed.  Tensions are high and this insane world is looking for a reason to justify violence.  DO NOT give them one.  Also, for your own safety, avoid wearing RED.  I'm not trying to be all paranoid or scare you, just be aware of your surroundings, avoid discussing politics around strangers or with them and pray, pray and then pray again.  Stay home tomorrow night as those who feel we "won," will be celebrating and getting drunk (some, not all) and those who "lost" will be getting drunk (some, not all) to drown their sorrows.  Judgment on both sides will fly out the window and drunk drivers don't discriminate.  My car is full of TRUMP stickers, it is not leaving the parking lot.  Pray for Spiritual guidance and always remember this...

No matter if someone's "emotions" are rational or make a lick of sense to you, they have a right to feel anything.  Some are really hurting and scared.  We aren't here to be their moral police or judge, we are called to a higher purpose.  Be a good example of Christ Jesus, especially tomorrow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEREMY.  I LOVE YOU.  (My son's b'day) and HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY TO ALL.  GOD YAHWEY BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

I promise by Monday I will be back to my blogs and my pages, unless God has better plans for me.  Love you all and miss you in Christ Jesus!
