Hey Readers;
I just watched a youtube clip of a kid who is being bullied for being gay. The kid is only 13. He's even attempted suicide several times. Bullying is so ridiculous. I was bullied from 1st - 5th grade. I remember the main girl who bullied me turned everyone against me for no reason. I do remember this same girl kissed me in 1st grade. I felt it wasn't right and told her so. Since then she started bullying me. If I did something better than her she would make me give whatever it was to her. Ex. One day during Arts and Craft we were painting. My picture looked so much better than hers and she knew it and so did everyone else. She told everyone not to talk to me and to just be downright mean and nasty to me if we didn't switch paintings. I didn't do it. I felt I did the work I deserved the credit for it. I eventually had a semi-fight with this girl. She hit me and I hit her back. After that she hated me even more but I was happy. So what if no one spoke to me or even ate lunch with me but my Godsister. I've seen this girl so years back and she only looked at me really strange. Can we say, "Grow Up!"
I have been considered the outsider for years after. I believe because of the horrible 1st years of school I encountered is probably the reason I locked myself into a box. Not literally. A reason for the social issues I have. I've never had many friends. I've had like 2 main friends at a given time. I mean even now I have 3 really good friends and thats it and includes my hubby.
Bullying needs to stop for real. It affects us in more ways than people know. Most kids bully because they are missing something or not getting enough of something from home. Please readers teach your children not to be a bully but more of a friend.
Thanks Readers

Never Forget
Hey Readers,
I have to get this off my chest...Always include God in whatever you do. Especially if He has given you the means or ideas to carryout your goal. If there is something that you want to do; it would get accomplished with His help. Don't lose focus and go out and do it on your own, so you can get the credit for it. God will cause you to endure many stumbling blocks until you get your mind right. Remember that our lives are not about us but about God. This world is not our home. Don't get entangled with the cares of this world. The bible says watch as well as pray. We His people are in this world but not apart. Many things may transpire in this world. We don't have to worry, because God takes care of His own.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but is of the world.
We are in the world, but not apart of it.
Good nite!

No Condemnation
Afternoon Readers;
Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit."

Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit."
con·demn
[kuh
n-dem]
to express an unfavorable or adverse judgment on; indicate strong disapproval of; censure.
to judge or pronounce to be unfit for use or service: to condemn an old building.
Condemnation means the act of condemning.
According to the definition of condemnation, we know see that we who are in Christ will not be considered guilty. Jesus paid the price for us many, many, many years ago. That doesn't mean that we have the right to do whatever we want. As long as we stay in the will of God, who or what can find us at fault for anything. So when the enemy comes to us with negativity, we as the friends of God, have the power to SHUT IT DOWN!!!
Be Blessed!

Want to be one of God's Disciples?
Afternoon Readers;
Everyday is a day the Lord has made. We ought to rejoice and be glad in it. Give God praise in all you do!!!
As God's disciples, we must pick up our cross and follow Him. Yes life can get in the way. We should remember things we go through are only for God's glory. We have to get out of self, stay focus on the things of God, and get to God's work; whatever He has planned for our lives. If we take care of His business, He will take care of ours.
Be Blessed!!!

God's Grace and Mercies
Morning Readers;
This morning there were some things on my mind. I was thinking how I am happy that I am not God. If I was a lot of people would be messed up. It really bugs me to hear a person constantly complain. I mean everytime you talk to them they are complaining. Actually that is all they talk about. I mean can we talk about what's going on in the world for a change. I know you are thinking, "why does she deal with it." I use to ask myself the samething. I am learning that it's apart of my destiny, something that I need to conquer. Back to the topic, I was thinking about when the children of Israel would murmur against God. I can understand why He hates a murmuring spirit (complaining).
Looking back, while they were complaining, God was placing everything inorder for them. We may not know the future or whats in store for us, but understand that God has a plan for us and we must trust his plan. Remember His word says in Ecclesiastics 3:1, " To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens." Let us lose self and wait patiently on God. For He will reveal all.
Have A Blessed Day!!!

Multiple Emotions
Afternoon Readers;
Today I am experiencing many different emotions. Yesterday was Sept 11. The tenth year anniversary of the day America was brutally attacked by terriorist. It was a said day because many people lost their lives including resurers. A memorial was unveiled and open for the families of the lost. It sparked many emotions as they broadcasted it on t.v.; every channel and even memories from that day. My heart gooes out to everyone who was effected by this tragedy.
Serena lost the U.S open. It wou7ld have been nice for her to win seeing as though she was the only American left in the tournament, it was Sept. 11, and she overcame many obstacles to get there. Had she won it would have been her 4th U.S Open Championship. I felt pretty bad for her. On the bright side, NFL aired many games yesterday and my two fav. teams won; Da Bears (because I got to go with the home team), and the Eagles (Michael Vick has an amazing story...love it). They actually blew their opponents out. Too bad they are in the same division!
Now my 3rd year wedding anniversary isn't until tomorrow, but we have been receiving cards in the mail since last week. Today I got a beautiful bouqet of flowers by delivery with a card telling me my fav. restaurant wil be expecting me at 7:15 p.m. I am very excited. I guess this is enough fuel to get me on that exercise bike today and tomorrow. But we will see!

Chosen Vessel
Morning Readers;
Everyone has their own everyday issues. Everything isn't going to be peaches and cream. To whom much is given much is required. If we feel like too much is on us or we have too much to deal with; then guess what God feels that you can handle it. Now thats something to think about. No matter how much we encounter in this life or all at the same time, God believes we are strong enough to endure. That alone should give us strength to tackle it. In John 16:33 it says; "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." God has faith in us, but do we have faith in Him?

Who do you love..Are you sure?
Afternoon Readers;
I hope you guys are having a blessed day. For some reason I am feeling rejuvenated today..lol Anyway to the point. For the bible says in Mark 19: 29-31, "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
Alright fam lets think about this for a minute. God requires that we "Love Our Neighbors." Neighbor meaning every body/person. God knew how difficult this would be, because some people make it easier to hate them than to love them. Hence the reason for it being at the top of the list..lol No matter how we are effected by their reactions, their ways of thinking, or their actions we must love them regardless. God loves us regardless of our flaws and sins and we say we want to be more like Him. Lets start with how we treat each other. Matthew 24:12 says; "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Don't let your love wax cold. Love each other just as Christ loves YOU.
Be blessed people of God!

Vacations
Morning Readers;
The Mr. and I took a much needed vacation to Cabo last week. It was beautiful!!! I had the best time. I was too geeked before we went. Don't know if it was because I had been dreaming of vacationing to Cabo since 08' or because I (we) needed a vacay. Everyone was so nice and catered to my every need. I guess I should accept assistance from others and get over myself. But its easier said than done. :-) Especially for me. I was always the one everyone else depended on. Now roles have been reversed; just for now. I am waiting on God to perform a miracle healing in my life. Guess what people IT'S COMING SOONER THAN I THINK!!!!! Just got to be patient.

What's Happening to me?
Afternoon Readers,
Yesterday I was sitting on the side of the bed when I experienced a strange encounter. I wasn't afraid or anything but what I am trying to figure out is, am I thinking these things myself; are these my thoughts? I guess the best option for me to find the answer is to consult God.
It's funny how you can feel you have done something to displease someone important to you. In actuality, its the opposite. The only way for you to find out, is to ask them. Again, I have been confronted with other's situations that I prefer not to be involved. What is it about me, that makes people feel comfortable with dropping their concerns on me? I understand everyone needs someone to talk to or to listen. I'm having a hard time just listening. I keep saying thats what I'm going to do, but end up giving my opinion anyway. When I do give my opinion, people tend to take what I say as bond. "Oh Candice said it, so that makes it right." Not true! Well atleast not all the time...lol I've noticed this is a place that I don't want to be in, but if God has me in these situations for a lesson to be learned, then its time for me to woman up and deal. Just wish it was revealed to me.
Til next time, thanks for reading readers.

Love
Afternoon Readers,
Love is a great emotion to experience. What people don't seem to realize, love can be the cure to any relationship. Everyone needs love. The greatest love of all is "agape" love. This type of love is what God has for us. His love is unconditional. It will never change or He will never change His feelings towards us no matter what we do. His love is everlasting. Can we share love with everyone?
I've noticed that I do alot and accept alot because of love. I guess when you love someone you accept alot of things. You do things for others that you wouldn't normally do. I wouldn't call that conditional love, but love without limits. Sometimes we set our feelings and emotions aside for the greater good. Without love do you think you can give for the greater good?
Think about it, readers!
Be Blessed.

Good or Bad?
Evening Readers,
I was just reading and had a flashback. I was remembering a prophet telling me that I was a good person. Then I thought about a biblical article I read that said no one is good but God. Today I read another biblical book that stated the same. Now I am thinking there maybe some truth to this. Lets compare. God is flawless; we have flaws, God is sinless; yet we sin, let somebody cut us off in traffic, or somebody do something we don't like. God is good and we have good intentions. So as the bible says, its with the heart we please Him.

Confusion...
Good Morning Readers,
I haven't been on in a while. My computer is all kinds of messed up...lol
Have you ever had the same conversation with someone over and over. Its almost like a horrible song playing on repeat. One of my biggest pet peeves is being repetious when I speak. If you are not going to listen to me when I speak..... don't ask. It will save us both alot of time. If I said it the first time and feel pretty adamant about it; then mostlikely my answer will not change. No matter how its worded.
I guess this is where my patience should kick in. But because things like this have the potential of causing me unwanted stress, I say what I feel and change the subject.
Either you believe me or not. Make a decision and stick to it. Stop bringing it back up, especially to me. Move on!!!!!

Remembering God's Words
Morning Readers,
We all have questions concerning everyday life. We know that God holds our future; and He is the only one who can lead us to the right path. Therefore, we consult God for the answers to make the best decision. There are times when we ask God for help and we wait on the answer but never get a response. What's the explanation for this occurance? There can be many answers to this question. I have been asked this question numerous times and have asked it myself. One explanation that I gathered is "We already know the answer." The bible gives us the tools on how to deal with everyday life. All of the parables told in the bible are examples for us to follow in certain stuations. 2 Timothy 2:15 says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." So sometimes when we are looking for an aswer from God, check His word. You just might find it in there. Don't fret God will not leave us ignorant.
Be Blessed!!

Are you blinging?
Afternoon Readers,
As you all know, we are to live our lives as a witness for somone else. Not saying that we can't make mistakes or we have to live perfectly. As my Granny would say, "Ain't nobody perfect but God." We should strive everyday to get there. We go through different situations to help the next person. Its just as if we are at work, when you have the experience with a project you can train and/or prepare the next person. Its very similar to everyday life. Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Are you blinging?

Showing Appreciation
Wow readers, I haven't posted in over a week. Shame on me!
Yesterday I was thinking about the people who are in my circle. So today I dedicate this post to them. I know they are reading it so I will not mention names, but they know who they are... ;-).
Just want to say THANKS for being there for me; listening to me, the words of encouragement, for letting me know that I can trust and depend on you, sitting with me on the phone for hours, talking to me while I vent my frustrations, for your prayers, for just being good friends and family. Just want you to know that I love you all and I hope I am a good of friend to you as you are to me.
Just a few special thank yous.
To the best mom in the world. Eventhough sometimes you tend to put more on me than I can deal, you are ALWAYS there for me. Whenever or whatever I need. There is nothing I wouldn't try to do for you. I want the best for you thats consistent with God's will. You are a true meaning of a mother and I hope to be 1/2 of the mother to my kids as you are to me.
Last but definitely not the least, the one and only, my hubby Mr. DJG. I always said if I had the opportunity I would tell the world how much I love, admire, and respect you. You are truly my rock. The one whom I can trust and tell my secrets, feelings, and emotions to. You are the reason I am writing this. I was thinking about all that we have been thru the nine years we have been together. I can truly say that God has blessed me with my own earthly angel. You do all you can to keep me happy and I try to do all I can to make you feel like the king you are. I love you so much can't see myself without you.

He's Not A GENIE!!!
Another for today,
I am talking to my BFF, telling her how I need to be more patient. So I know God hears me when I pray. Some request He answers and others are just in like limbo. My question is, "Why does God pick over prayer request to answer?" I can submit several prayer request at one time and some get answered in a month, six months, a year, or more. Why does He decided to choose to answer one for now and then the next for later? So my BFF answered and said, " Because He is not a genie." I agree. He is not going to be like, "Poof. there you are!" Why not? If God gives us what it is we want when we want it, how would we learn to trust Him, depend on Him, and learn to use our faith. The bible says in Hebrew 11:6; "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. God knows the right time to answer each prayer. He and only He, knows our future. He knows what we need even before we ask or think it.

Appropiate Prayer
Morning Blog Readers,
I opened my email this morning and this prayer was there. I like it so I decided to share it with all of you.
Heavenly Father; I Come to you As Humble As I Know How. I Confess My
Sins, Those Known & Unknown. Lord, you Know I'm Not Perfect & I Fall
Short Every day Of My Life. I Just Want to Take Time Out to Say Thank
you. Thank you for your Mercy. Thank you for My Home, Car, Food, Life,
Everything I Do Have. I Realize That this Life I'm Living Is Full Of
Trials & Tribulations But Thank you for Not Putting More On Me Than I
Can Bear. Next Time you Get Ready to Complain, Tell The Devil you are A Blessed
Child Of God & you Have More to Be Thankful for Than to Worry About.
We Must Go Thru The Storm to Appreciate The Sunshine!
Be Blessed!!

Feelings...
Afternoon;
Today and yesterday I was all over the place, emotionally. Things happen in our lives for a reason. We may not know or even understand. But there is a purpose for every thing under the sun. Know that what you go through, you are not alone. Someone else is too and even greater. Continue to be thankful. You never know why things happen and may never know. We have to pass the test. Hebrew 12:1-2 says; "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Be Blessed!

Obeying His Commands
Afternoon,
Yesterday I was reading the book of Nehemiah. The meaning that I got from it was eventhough he was working for another country God still placed it in His heart to fulfill something that God wanted done. He wanted him to rebuild the wall of Jeruselem. Alot of other Kings heard about his plans and teamed up to destroy what he was doing and the people he brought together to help him. Eventhough he faced may adversaries he didn't take his eye off what God wanted him to do. He understood that God was with him and if he sent him to to get the task done God was going to have his back against anything or anyone.Once it was completed he gave the Israelites the Laws of Moses and put people in charge over them. Guess what readers, they were all for it in the beginning but when Nehemiah left to go back to serve his King, the Israelites went back to their old ways. I guess if they were in our time the should have asked for deliverance. Nehemial did what God asked him to do trusting God the entire way.

Call Him Out
What has God promised you that He hasn't manifested as of yet? If you have done all you can and you can't take anymore, then call Him on His stuff. Get tough!!! The bible says in Ephesians 4:26; Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Tell God all that He spoke to you. For one thing He isn't a liar, that would be the devil. So God cannot lie. If He said it it must come to past. Be encouraged not discouraged. God sees all, hears all, and knows all. Keep trusting Him to bring it to past. Our God is not a liar, whateverHe say we can take it to the bank.
Be encouraged!!!!

Our Own Will
Evening
I was included in a discussion about what makes people react the way they do. One side made the argument that, " People do what they want to do" and the other side's argument was,"Spirits cause people to react the way they do." I agree with both sides to a certain extent. People do react the way they want to because God gives us a will. He allows us to make our own choices/decisions. What we should do is seek Him for the correct decision to choose. Now there are spirits in everyday life that people deal with. These spirits are there to hinder and seduce us to do what is wrong. The bible says in 1Timothy 4:1; Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. When these spirits come to us; we have the power to rebuke them or dismiss them by not given in. In Ephesians 6:12; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
In conclusion, we all know the difference between right and wrong (our will). Know that we must rebuke spirits that try to seduce us and seek God for the right decisions to make regardless of what it is or who it may effect.
Be blessed People of God!!!!

Who has your back?
Morning,
God watches over us through all seen and unseen danger. Whatever we may need, He's got it. A quick testimony: Some years ago, I hadn't drove my car in some days because I wasn't feeling well. My mom took me to the doctor. I left the doctor and was feeling better. Decided to go to class that night and got in my car and heard God say don't drive. I didn anyway and about a few blocks from the house I got into a car accident. My car was totaled but I walked away without a scratch. PRAISE JEHOVAH!!! Another testimony: One day when I was in high school; it was a nice day out so I didn't wear a jacket. Got to school and my counselor asked me to go on a trip to Kraft with them because all who signed up didn't show up. So I went. Got there and won a raffle. The prize was a jacket. When I got back to the school my mom was suppose to pick me up and I don't know what happened but she was hrs late. I didn't have any money else I would have taken the bus. So I sat outside waiting. The temperature dropped and it got pretty cold. I didn't have on a jacket but God knew what was coming up and he allowed me to win the number one prize, that jacket. So know that God has your back even when you don't think you need it.
Be Encouraged!!
Much Love

Reflection 3
Evening Readers;
I was sitting here reading over my blog entries and I came acroos one that relates to something that I needed. I was discussing the incident with some people to get their opinions about what I should do. Just reread an entry from February titled "Carnal Minded". It fits perfectly. Now I know what it is I should do. I mean we are our brothers keeper right? But the steps I need to take have to be strategically planned..lol I know me and how I can react in certain situations. I can't allow myself to go over board with it, and thats something I do. I can just reach out, encourage as much as I can but that doesn't mean allow things to get into my spirit and bring me down. Although Jesus lives in me I need to keep my temple free from things that can deter me, distract me, or even cause me harm. So I have decided to be an encouragement and then leave the rest in Gods hands. I mean what else can I do?

No Matter What...
Morning Fellow Blog Readers,
Guess what readers, no matter what we have done; we can ask God for forgiveness. I have been reading the NIV, of the old testament just for better clarification, and was wondering what in the world is wrong with the Israelites? Why did they constantly feel the need to have to worship idols. God performed so many miracles for them but they just needed someone to rule over them. It was just so mind boggling to me, still is! But anyway, what I got out of it is that no matter what we do; God will forgive us. (Unless its self-murder because then how can you repent if you are gone.) Now some people think that betrayal is the ultimate NO NO. How do you trust someone after they have betrayed you/turned their backs on you. To me it makes you look like a fool. Not saying God was a fool, because He treated it differently. Eventhough they kept jacking up; He would tell the ruler over them, at that time, He was going to destroy them. The ruler would then use "reverse psychology" on God and He would change His mind. He wouldn't destroy them, but He punished them in a less dramatic way.
So if God can constantly forgive betrayal, disobedience, and covetousness then He is powerful enough to forgive us of anything.
1 John 1:9 says, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
What more do we need. When in God we can have what we want if it is in His will. Soooooooooo, whats holding us back from giving God our all and showing and telling Him, "You are more than enough."

Loyalty
Afternoon Readers,
When you feel that you have someone in your life who will do anything for you, whatever you ask, and is always there when you need them; thats great to have. Some people don't have that type of friendship or relationship with someone. Its great to feel special and to know that you have people in your corner. I thank God for the special people in my life. Whom I can talk to about anything. They never judge me or if they feel differently than what I feel we can discuss it. They make me better and I try to return the favor.
I know this may be hard for some people to receive but keep people in your circle who have good intentions for you. You don't want people who stress you out or cause you problems. Those kind of things you don't need in your life. If we can have a faithful relationship with God, we can have one with people on earth. Matthew 25:23 says, "His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
Thanks Readers!

Stay close to the cross
Afternoon BR's,
Alot of us have heard that what we ask in God's presence will be answered. I didn't believe this was true rather I was listening and was just like ok. But I have discovered this to be true. Once we can get over ourselves and adhere to God's word, nothing is impossible. The bible says in Psalms 84:10-12, "For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee." So as we pray, let us give God praise and worship and ask Him to allow us into His presence. Matthew 7:7-8 says, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
What is it that you need? God's got it. The answer is in His presence.
Be Blessed!!

How Awesome is He?
Hey FBR,
Yesterday was "Resurrection Sunday". It was a pretty nice day. The weather was great and people were happy. I don't know if the reason was because of what the day represented or because people were just too cute..lol But in the service my hubby and I attended; we didn't have a kids program like we use to have back in the day. Instead we got a sermon depicting all that our Saviour endured on this day years ago. I have to say thinking of it makes me sad and brings tears to my eyes because I'm like how could anyone be treated in that manner. I had the urge to get up and leave the room. But I must say Jesus did it for me. Thats why I owe Him my life. What manner of man is this that gave His life for little ol' me? In the words of Kanye, "Its amazing so amazing". What did I do to deserve that treatment. I mean God loves us so much that He endured all that pain...FOR US. Just think about it for a second; if the shoe was on the other foot, I ask could/would you have done it?
Jesus paid it all!

Whats in your control?
Morning,
Today is a special day. Its Good Friday. To many this is the day we recognize Jesus' death burial and resurrection. He endured alot for us that we may have abundant life to reign with Him forever. Let us be thankful not just today but everyday.
It seems like when I awake from sleep in the middle of the night, I can hear topics more clearly. I figure because its more quiet and God has my attention. In the middle of the night I was thinking, in any situation we have to do what is in our control and nothing else. We can not overexert ourselves on things that we cannot change. Where/what does that get us, nowhere with heartache, depression, anger, headaches. Why put ourselves through that. We must do what is in our control and trust God to do the rest. God can't solve the problem if we are in it. This is where our patience shows up not complaints. Let us prove to God that we trust him and depend on him to do what we ask and finish the task. Do what you can and get out the way!! Your way!!
Don't let anyone get on your nerves today. Brush it off and keep it moving with a smile.
Be blessed people of God!!!

Staying Focused....
Morning,
All of these blogs I posted I had to go back and read them over yesterday. I was having a weak moment yesterday, but I'm entitled. The thing is it just has to be a moment. We as children of God should not wallow in things that bother us. We can sit better yet squat but don't linger. The title of this blog is our brother's keeper, which we are. We are to encourage each other to help our brother/sister to get up and know that God is in control of their situation. Many different thoughts may come in our minds but those evil thoughts are of the devil. When someone speaks negatively to you, use your power and bind it up right then and there. Matthew 18:18 says, Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. We have to hold on to God's words and promises to us. God is not a God of deceit. If He spoke it it MUST/SHALL come to past.

Thanks to Nez and Kitapoo for helping me get back on track, it isn't easy.

Mountains
Evening,
Sometimes when things are going your way and something comes along; it doesn't mean that God has forgotten you. Its just another test that we have to pass. We can not let the devil enter in in anyway. We must stay focused on God and his promises to us. For the word says He will never leave us nor forsake us. If God said it we must believe and continue to believe. We can't let anything rattle our cage. Stay strong and keep the faith. Remmber the blessing is almost there.
Be blessed, people of God.

We Have Power!!
Afternoon Readers,
When we decided to accept Jesus; we were giving many things. Each of us something different and the same. One of the gifts we were given equally was POWER!!! Power to overcome many obstacles and even the enemy. If the enemy pursues us and we know its him; lets not be afraid. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. We have power over the enemy. If we speak to the enemy it must/shall obey. If someone wants to allow the enemy to use them; we must not retaliate. We must be strong and bold knowing that we have power to overcome anything the enemy has planned for us. There is a King in us!!!

Who holds your future?
Afternoon Readers,
When we need to make decisions for our future; we should consult God. Talk to Him and explain to Him in detail what it is you want to happen. He is the only one who knows what lies ahead for us. So why not involve Him in our future decisions. One of the benefits of being one of Gods is we don't have to worry about our future. We can bring it to Him and let him deal with it. Once we give it to Him we may not get the answer we were looking for, but know that whatever the decision is its a prelude for another decision to come. He has our back and knows whats best. Trust Him to handle all your decisions. For the God we serve is incapable of failing. Jeremiah 29:11 says; For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWrGjzBheno
Psalm 139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

Once we give it to Him we may not get the answer we were looking for, but know that whatever the decision is its a prelude for another decision to come. He has our back and knows whats best. Trust Him to handle all your decisions. For the God we serve is incapable of failing. Jeremiah 29:11 says; For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Live for yourself...
Morning readers,
So this morning I was thinking about the parable of the five wise and five foolish. This parable basically explains that we can not expect to live off of others, but we need some substance ourselves. We can not expect to make it through because someone close to us is ok. They only have enough substance for themselves to make it thru. They can help us get what we need but it ultimately depends on what we have and do. Hebrews 10:34 says, "For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance." Lets choose today to start building up our substance today.

So faithful!!!!!!!!
Morning family,
Since I am awake and alert I've decided to write. God is faithful. There is a song that I just ABSOLUTELY love and will share later. But it sings about how faithful God is to us. I heard a story that I thought was really interesting. It was the story of Lazarus and how God raised him from the dead. Martha was upset that Jesus came four days after Lazarus died and didn't believe anything could be done. But I guess she wasn't thinking she was talking to the almighty Jesus. But the part of the story that I found interesting was how when God called Lazarus to come forth the stone had to be moved. Now if you think about it God could have moved the stone himself but he didn't. He had others to move it. Now we can pray and ask God to solve our issues but we have to do our part. By them moving the stone away the miracle came forth. Deuteronomy 7:9 says, "Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations."
At times we want God to do everything. Yes, we are spoiled. We have to do whats in our control and let God do what we can't. The miracle!! Lets find out what our stone is to be removed so God can bring the miracle forth! If we plant the seed He will water it.

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!
Morning FBR,
As I am writing this I pray that it encourages someone else's heart. This morning I was anxious to go to church but unfortunately I didn't make it. "When you desire to do good; evil is always present." Sometimes feelings of dispair can way you down but continue to be encouraged. Yes we all have heard it all before, "Hold on to God's unchanging hand, In the morning it will be alright, God will see you through." Sometimes we don't want to hear it we just want an answer right then and now. But if God can bring us to it, He intends on bringing us through it. We must continue to believe and fight for what belongs to us. Sometimes living for Christ can be difficult. The bible says "For in this world we will have trials and tribulations but be of good cheer for God has overcome the world." We must focus on the outcome to our circumstances and not the circumstance. I understand its easier said than done but we will get there. The key is believing and keeping your faith and trust in God. Never wavering or doubting. We are stronger than what we give ourselves credit for. Believe, believe, and believe more!
Galations 5:1 "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."

His Awesomeness.
Morning fbr,
Today I was thinking about the goodness of Jesus. Who loves us more than He does? By suffering all He did for us; not just for me but for the entire world. Lets take a look! If you are reading this you are alive, breathing, and in good health. You can walk, talk, eat, and function normally. You have all you need and maybe some things that you want. No complaints. He protects us from all seen and unseen danger. He gave us His blood for protection and healing. He also left us a comforter which is the holy spirit. Whenever we are down He picks you up. Just thinking of these things makes me love Him even more. In the words of Israel Houghton, "who am I that you are mindful of me." God looks to us as his friends not his servants. Yes we work for the advancement of his kingdom but more on a partner level. Once He is lifted up we receive all benefits. I love it!!!

The first song may bring you to tears. So easy to love you!!

God's Trust
Morning Fellow Blog Readers,
I have been MIA for a while. I wasn't feeling my best so I didn't write anything. But as you can see I am doing much better now. So today I was reflecting on how God has began to trust me even more today. I believe that when we deal with different situations of daily life, and we pass the test of them, God increases our trust. As we all know many relationships don't work without trust from both parties. If we can trust God, he has to be able to trust us as well. We start of with a little trust but what do we do with it; do we just let it linger there and deplete? I personally would like to continue to build on it. One major way for us to build on it is to allow ourselves to be open to His word. If we get to that level with God where He begins to manifest our gifts, then we should act accordingly. If He gives us something to say to someone we must say it without being fearful or contrite. God's word says in Ephesians 3:11-12, " According to the eternal purpose which he proposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him." God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind.
Lets say what God tells us to say regardless of who its for or whether or not they receive you. Its a task that God has given to you because He trust you to carry it out. Say it and get the blood washed of your hands. Lets build on that trust to become more closer to Him. We never know we could be saving a life. Also we can get the satisfaction of knowing that God trust us even more.
Love you all!!

Change
Good Afternoon Fellow Bloggers,
I wasn't going to write today but I was inspired by a letter I received from a reader. I wish this person would have posted the comment but it was his/her choice and I'm going to respect it. The comment stated that God does not bless us according to how good we are. Thats true now that I think about it. God loves us regardless of what we do and its His choice whether or not He wants to bless us or allow us to get the things we have.
So know that I got it out of my system yesterday its time to forgive. Thing is I can forgive but I never give anyone the opportunity to do it again. I guess I guard my heart from it by keeping them at a distance. It was suggested that I take this evaluation on walls that can be the reason for many reactions in our lives. My results from the evaluation were true. So now that I know I can pray for God to tear down this wall. I've decided to share it with you. Take the evaluation and find out if its true for you as well.

Ignorance is Bliss...
Good Morning Fellow Blog Readers,
This morning I am a little t'ed off. The more I think about something the more upset I get. Of course this is the work of the enemy to TRY and knock me off my square. So this morning I am going to get it off my chest (what I should have done before) and be done with it. I heard some news that I call disturbing. I usually just let it go and let people think what they want; just to avoid any confrontation. Now I'm feeling thats the punk way out. Like I said before Jesus wasn't a punk so why should I be. A friend told me I should speak what I feel in an appropriate way. And thats what I am going to try and do from now on.
I heard someone say don't let people drop their junk at your door. Their feelings of insecurity has nothing to do with me. I am secure in who I am, who I trust, who I represent, and who has my back. I know the people who have my best interest at heart. Which leads me to my point. "Haters again." I am so tired of people being mad at others because you chose one path and they decided to take another. What? because they were wrong am I suppose to hold back from where I'm going to wait for them? or am I suppose to be miserable like them? Its really mind bogging for me. People get close to you just so they can be all up in you business because nothing is going on in their lives. They tend to look at the material things and make assumptions. You know what they say about people who make assumptions...lol It puts a huge smile on my face just to know that they are idiots. God blessed me with what I have so am I suppose to tell Him "Naw Jesus I prefer the old, ragged, dirty, beat up such and such." He blessed me with the best because of something good I did.
Haters try doing something for God and not yourself. Maybe it will work out in your favor. Others, keep doing you. Ah I feel much better not going to worry about what the evil people do and don't think I know. I have Jesus who informs me of the likes of you. Where is he in you? Put some clothes on because your nakedness is showing.
Thanks for listening the people of God.

Afternoon fellow bloggers,
I was thinking about family. What is the reason for family? Was it just a way for us to enter the world or are we suppose to be supportive to or family members? As I'm writing this, it came to me, when we are young our family was there to protect, teach, and shape us into adults that can make good independent decisions. As we get older some go the way towards God who therefore becomes their father, protector, teacher, and he shapes them into his own image. So basically he takes over for family. When we accept Christ we become apart of His family; therefore we are connected to each other thru Him.
So I guess I'm saying nothing, including family, should hold us back from doing what God wants. Yes we love our family members but don't we love God more? Now just because we are in God's family; we also have to extend a helping hand to others. Proverbs 11:30 says, "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise." Not saying anything against biological families but the ultimate goal here is to get to heaven and bring as many people with us as we can. Thats including family members. No one can get us into heaven but they can get us into hell.
Let us be mindful of others and do what God wants us to do.
Hope you guys had a blessed day today.

Repost: Forgiveness...
Good Morning people of God, (This was posted previously and I accidentally deleted it)
Todays post is about forgiveness. Forgiveness is not always an easy task. It is something that many of us deal with on a daily basis. In many instances its a situation from the past. The past can cause alot of us to deal with current situations differently that we deal with in the present. Remember cause and effect?
Now I personally have had alot of people hurt me in the past. I remember someone telling me," Well you are too nice and people take advantage of that." So I'm asking do people hurt us because of the type of people we are? Therefore, do we need to change who we are? So I started thinking why do I need to change when I'm not the one doing the hurt. So I decided to guard myself, which alot of us do. But why should we have to live our lives locked up in a bubble? When God grants us new mercy everyday. So because of this, I began to think more like; Jesus went through alot of hurt but he still forgave all. Even when people spat on him. Now I consider that a high offence. It would be hard to turn the cheek after someone spits on you. (Knowing that toothbrushes, mouthwash, and floss, were not invented back then, can you just imagine all of the germs they put on JESUS now some people will say Candice is silly because the germs we have today were not happening back then. But you can not tell me something wasn't going on back then...lol) But these people went further than that and crucified our Savior and He never said a mumbling word. Now thats powerful!!!!!
So I have come to the conclusion that; NO!!! we do not have to change from being good people. I no longer guard myself but I'm not letting people take advantage of my kindness. I've learned Jesus wasn't a punk and we have the same blood, therefore neither am I. People have to watch what they say to me nowadays because the answer will not always be YES but you will hear a NO. If I don't want to do it then I'm not. Also, if I want to say something I will say it in an appropriate way.Matthew 6:14-15 says, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." It isn't fair for us to ask God for forgiveness when we can't forgive others. If God can forgive and continue to forgive from all the way back then to now (thats alot of hurt) we can forgive today no matter what the hurt is/was. Yes we are hurt but once we forgive, the healing can begin. Remember Jesus went through alot of hurt because it was something that He HAD to do because He loves us soooooooooo much. Therefore people hurt us because its something we have to go through. Its not because of us but because of who we represent. Forgive and thank God for the trial to help make you a better you.
Let us decide today to forgive those who have hurt us, even if it is ourselves.

Favor Isn't Fair!!!!!!
Morning,
This has been a blessed week for me. God has answered my prayer request I had concerning the things I had to experience this week. It all started Saturday night. I heard this voice say, "Go to church tomorrow." God knew that I had made up in my mind that if I didn't get a good night sleep or if I over slept, that I wasn't going. I guess He was like, "Child please." I didn't get that good night sleep. I finally went to sleep at 4 am and was awaken at 7:41am by my husband hitting the light switch downstairs. That is just hilarious to me, because usually I know when he gets out of bed, when he is walking down the stairs and I heard or noticed none of this; but heard him turn on a light. So since I was awake I heard God again say, "Go to church." So again I said ok I'm going to have prayer with my husband and then see if that would suffice. After prayer I heard, "Get up and go to church, Go to church." So I'm like ok while in the middle of yawning I told my husband lets get ready for church. I knew God was on my so much because something was going to happen. Usually when God is pressing on my heart that heavy something does happen. This time I obeyed the call.
Because of my obedience, I received some major big news on Monday and yesterday. To God be the Glory!!!!! He knows what we need even before we ask. One of my request for this week came to past and the other two I know are being manifest. God showed me He has his hands on it and He is working it out. I call that FAVOR!!!

Because of my obedience, I received some major big news on Monday and yesterday. To God be the Glory!!!!! He knows what we need even before we ask. One of my request for this week came to past and the other two I know are being manifest. God showed me He has his hands on it and He is working it out. I call that FAVOR!!!

Reflection 2
Morning fellow readers.
Yesterday I discovered some things about myself that I need to work on. I always tell myself to accept people for who they are. If you know that person and how they will react in certain situations, then you will know how to deal with them. You will basically know what to expect and therefore how to react. I didn't follow my own rule yesterday. Usually I am the person who is normally quiet. But yesterday I found myself getting upset over something that I couldn't control. People have their own opinions about certain situations and thats their right, whether I know or even feel differently. But if I know something to be right should I just keep it to myself? Which leads me to another one of my rules. I normally stay out of people business unless they ask of me. I usually ask a series of questions to help them make their own decision. I don't tell people what they should do (learned that from the hubby...lol) but better yet I make suggestions. I figured out I can't make decisions for other people lives, because what seems right to me doesn't necessarily mean that its right for the next. I've also noticed that I get defensive when I feel like something isn't going my way. For instance, if I am passionate about something or its something that I know for sure I am right about I don't like to be dismissed, ignored, or belittled. I believe I have a problem with this because now I am beginning to speak up for myself. As I stated in a previos blog, Jesus wasn't a punk so I shouldn't be either. Shouldn't I defend myself?
I think I will stick to my rules which are:
1. Staying out of people business unless they ask of me and help them make their own decision.
2. Accept people for who they are. I have found this rule to be stress free. People are intitled to their own opinions whether I agree or disagree. When I find myself getting upset agree to disagree. For the bible says in Matthew 5:25, "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison." Be apologetic, whether I am wrong or right. I must always take the high road and be the bigger person.
3. If I am having a discussion with someone and I know something to be true and I tell them, if they don't want to listen; I have to leave them alone before it turns unto something that I don't want. They will eventually discover the truth on their own.
4. I will continue to take up for myself. I'm not going to let people just walk over me. I must say what I need to say in an appropriate manner.
I'm not there yet but I will get there with God's help. Psalms 51:10 says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
Have a Blessed day!!!

STOP IT!!!!!!!
Morning,
There is a saying that goes around and it says, "If you pray then don't worry, but if you worry then don't pray." The reason for this is because, when we pray we give it over to God to handle. Once we began to worry, we take it out of God's hands to handle. I heard an amazing story yesterday. My BFF called me and said that while at church a lady who was paralyzed got up and walked to the alter. She believed the preacher when he said God was pouring out His anointing over the congregation. Because of her faith she got up and walked. To God Be The Glory!! The word says in James 2:26, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." This only lets us know that our God is still performing miracles everyday. What He can do for one, He can do for another. His miracle and healing power did not stop on yesterday. If it worked over 2000 years ago and it is still working today, it isn't used up.
With that being said, why pick up your burdens from God after you have given them over. The Lord says to cast all of our cares (burdens) on Him because He careth for us. What is it that we can do that God can't. Obviously if we need to pray about it then we need His assistance. We need Him everyday for protection/covering anyway, so let Him have that situation as well. Our arms are to short to duke it out with God. So LET HIM HAVE IT!!!!
Have a blessed day people of God!!

Smile in the face of adversity!!
Afternoon my fellow blog readers,
Matthew 17:20 says, "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." I was thinking last night how although a person may be going thru in their life; they still smile. You would never know whats going on with them unless someone told you their situation. They can still enjoy life and to me thats beautiful. Faith is the key here. They have so much faith in God to believe He will work it out no matter how things may seem. Because of that faith God has given them the strength to get thru it and on top of that to pray for others as well.
Luke 22:32 says, "But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. " Many people don't know when we pray for others; our prayer requests are being answered. No matter what we are facing keep your head to the sky. Stand strong and know that the God we serve can do it all. Remeber our faith makes us whole.
We, being our brother keepers, have watchers. Someone can be watching how you will react when facing diversity. Lets be good Godly examples.Thats a true friend of God.

Waiting is a hard thing to do!
Morning,
When people say "patience is a virtue", that is so true. I hate waiting. I want what I want when I want it. But God has been making me wait. People tell me all the time that I need patience. I can honestly say I have gotten alot better. I use to say that my Mom and occasionally my Dad, created a monster because I use to be horrible. But when you become an adult, things change. You learn to be more dependant on God and less on you parents.
The bible says in Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." If I can wait on God, then I can wait on other things as well. Waiting on God some times can be rough; especially when you are the type of person who wants what they want when they want it. Don't lose focus! When we ask God for things and He doesn't give it to us right then, its because we are not ready for it. But remember God has not forgotten. He may not come when you want Him but He's always on time. Maybe there is something that he wants to show us or teach us. Patience maybe? or something else. If we put problems/situations in God's hands let Him deal with it. Put it there but don't pick it back up. Wait for an answer from God.
Good things come to those who wait.
Be Blessed people of God

Hard? For who? Jesus?.... Seriously!!
Good Morning fellow blog readers,
Last night I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep, but that wasn't happening. What did happen was I heard my new topic for today that I thought I would share. Some time ago my Pastor told me to read these scriptures everyday. I just started reading them recently. When I read them I didn't understand. Its funny how God reveals things to you sometimes. My mom had given the scriptures to someone else and was trying to explain them. I listened to her but some things she had mixed up. Amazingly, the interpretation of the verses began to come from no where. It reads:
Galations 3:13-14
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
I interpret this to mean: Christ has made us free from all things, for we are no longer under the old testament, by dying on the cross for us. By Him hanging on the cross, which is the tree, he was made to be a curse. That opened the door for us Gentiles, non Jews, to receive all the promises God made to the Jews including everlasting life. Every sin, sickness, disease, or any such thing, God carried on that cross. Therefore with that being said, if you believe and are going through something speak God's words back to Him. His word cannot lie. It must me done and shall be done.
We are the blessed of Christ once we accepted Him as our Lord/Savior/King. There is nothing we can do without Him. We need Him everyday of our lives. Luke 1:37 says, For with God nothing shall be impossible. Praise God!!!
Be blessed.

Carnal Minded
Morning blog readers,
Yesterday I was asking the question, if we are dealing with our own personal issues, are we to also deal with others? I feel sometimes like; hey I got my own things to deal with so why should I be bothered with others. That is the carnal way of thinking or thinking in the flesh. Basically being selfish. Only thinking of yourself. The spiritual way of looking at it is yes I am. If we have been through a situation and can give someone advice on the situation, then we must talk to them and encourage them. We have prayed and given our problems to God to workout. We are therefore problem free to be able to help others. The title of this blog is "Our Brother's Keeper". We should assist in anyway we can.
Romans 8:6-9 says;
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
We have the spirit of God. Lets not think or be carnal minded; but think spiritually.
Be blessed!!!

Evil or Good?
Good Morning readers,
This morning I awaken thinking about problems. It was one in particular that I was concerned with. I laid in my bed and asked God, "God is this your work and not the enemy." He replied, "Yes."
(Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.) Hey, the deceiver can shine it up and make it look appealing to our eyes. We must consult God for every decision we need to make. He is the only one who knows the future and what it holds for us. At times we can be deceived. Alot of the times when we think its the enemies doing, it may not be or it may start off the enemies doing. The deceiver always tries to take God's credit. I asked God awhile ago to show me that I would be the winner and He did. The enemy meant it for evil; but God has turned it around for my good. We must remember that we are the children of God. So whatever the situation may be; we must remember who we are, who we represent, and who has our back.
Be encouraged....

Reflection
Hey my fellow blog readers,
Today I was thinking about a situation and how we can be deceived, confused, given false information by the enemy. I don't like giving him credit but this is some bad credt and who wants that. It reminds me of that free credit score commercial where they have the two tall, fit, and handsome men who are all 700's and a short, fat, I guess ugly man (because he has a hockey mask on his face) who is a 500. No one wants to be associated with him because of his bad credit score. So I'm looking at the enemy as having a score of -infinity....lol We should give him A B S O L U T E L Y no place. So if that was a punch in the head for him then so be it. God has given us power over him. We control him, its not the other way around.
Ok I just went off but it all ties in..lol Let me calm down....lol
We are of extreme importance to God for the enemy to be after us so much. Everywhere we turn he is there into something. Sometimes we don't notice that its him working but eventually it will be revealed. It was just revealed to me. So don't waver in your faith. Stand on God's word and prophesy to yourself. Part of the enemies job is to deceive. So whatever the situation may be know that our God is bigger than any problem that we may face.
Love you all be encouraged!!!

"Hi Haters"
Good afternoon my fellow bloggers.
I was listening to Pandora a few mornings ago to start my day, (Isaiah 26:3 says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.) I thought they only played music but somehow one of Bishop T.D. Jakes sermon was on. Don't know if you agree with him, but he said something that I found interesting. He said why are people jealous of the things you have/do when you are allowed to have/do it because of God. I started thinking like thats true. Why are they hating on us because of what we have when they can do what we're doing and have the same? God blesses us with all that we have and allows us to do the things we do. So their "hating" is displaced. Shouldn't they hate on God? I mean think about it. Everything is owned by God. He gives it to us according to our wants and needs. So because we ask God for certain things and he give them to us, people hate on us. We're only the middleman right? They can go straight to the source.
I would say don't be mad at me; your anger is displaced, be mad at God. God did it!!! We all know thats not going to happen. So your "haters" need to get that jealousy out of their hearts and concentrate on God and they can be blessed just as we are!!!
He also spoke about jealous family memebers. This blew my mind, but it is so true. "Haters can come in any way, shape, or form. So be on the lookout. You will know them and how to deal with them. My husband thinks I'm tripping because I believe that everything shouldn't be told concerning your life, until it is final. Nothing is wrong with keeping things to yourself. Don't know where or whom the devil is lurking around. he is very cunning.
Keep doing you blessed of God!!!

Not Our Lives...
John 9: 1-11
I was talking to my BFF Tiana today and she gave me a bible passage to read and God began to speak.
Now that I understand I tell people; this life is not about you or your feelings but Gods.
Everything we do it should be for God or because of God. We have to stop being messy and worry about how you can help the next person in need. Not talk about them.
I mean as we look at the bible; each parable and miracle God performed; we've never read where God talked about the people he helped, but the opposite he showed them love, compassion, and he helped in anyway he could. He didn't even get all into their business. Whatever people needed he did it.
If we were to take that passage and use it for an example: John 9:1 says, " And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth". If we continue to read, it never said how he got all in the man's business or even blamed him for something that he did in the past. But it says that the situation he faced from birth was not because of anything he did.
So many of us say we love God but it is not seen in what we do.We should strive everyday to be more and more like Him. Ask yourself everyday what did I do today to show that the love of God is in my heart. Matthew 7:1 says Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Always remember, If we take care of Gods business He will take care of ours.
Peace and Love, stay blessed

If we were to take that passage and use it for an example: John 9:1 says, " And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth". If we continue to read, it never said how he got all in the man's business or even blamed him for something that he did in the past. But it says that the situation he faced from birth was not because of anything he did.
So many of us say we love God but it is not seen in what we do.We should strive everyday to be more and more like Him. Ask yourself everyday what did I do today to show that the love of God is in my heart. Matthew 7:1 says Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Always remember, If we take care of Gods business He will take care of ours.
Peace and Love, stay blessed

Welcome!!!
Thanks for following my blog. This blog was design for me to not keep God's words spoken to me to myself. I figured if he reveals it to me than I should share it. I do not want to just help myself along the way but someone else as well. We can do this together. I mean this is the goal, right? Not only will I share information that I hear but what I feel and questions I have.
I pray that everyone reading will find this blog to be helpful. I have only one request, please comment on any post that you may find intriguing, eye-opening, and questionable. Not saying that every idea I have is correct. If you find a flaw please feel free in justifying your belief. Thanks so much for stopping by. Come back again. I would love to read yor feelings as well.
Peace, Love, and hair grease...lol
Love all!!!!
