Patience is a Virtue!

Life is not that hard because you did not get a lamp the day you wanted to get it, or get your hair and nails done when the budget says, “No”; but the ego says, “I want it!” Which one is more important? God has told me in my heart, years ago, I was arrogant. I didn’t want to listen to advice, and I did what I wanted to do. I would get something in my head; and knowing the money wasn’t really there to purchase it, I would do it anyway (knowing I only had to wait maybe a month or two to get it)! A month or two is not that long, nor is 18 years if it’s not in God’s plan for me to have it. God has done a change in me over the years; and until I removed me out of the way, I was able to receive and accept the change! And what I mean by removing me out of the way is, stop being self centered, selfish, and “it’s all about me” attitude! Get over it and find someone to bless! I can say, it did not take me long to understand it, when my checking account was continually overdrawn. Now...

Iron Sharpens Iron!

Football is not as complicated as many of us women think. I’ll give you some brief knowledge of how the team is formed.  The offense is as follows: Wide Receiver (WR) on the left, Wide Receiver (WR) on the right, Left tackle (LT), Left Guard (LG), Center (C), Right guard (RG), Right tackle (RT), Tight End (TE). Behind this line up is the Quarterback (Q) and behind him is the Full Back (FB) and Running back (RB) The defense is as follows: Cornerback (CB), Defensive End (DE), Defensive Tackle (DT), Defensive Tackle (DT), Defensive End (DE), and Cornerback (CB. These positions make up the front defensive line. Behind them are three Linebackers (LB) and behind the Linebackers are two Safety (S) players. Basically the offense wants to score a touchdown and the defense’s job is to stop them. The way offense is positioned is to keep the defense away from the Quarterback, or create a hole for the running back to score. The defense is positioned to stop the quarte...

To Lose is to Gain!

Job endured loss and suffering none of us could withstand (Job Chapters 1-5), yet in the midst of it all he said, “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he will stand upon the earth at last. Job 19:25 TLB There have been numerous hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes that have taken loved ones, homes, and everything you valued in your home; yet the loss was still not as great as Job’s. He still had the one thing that was important and necessary. He goes on to say, “And I know that after this body has decayed, this body shall see God! Then he will be on my side! Yes, I shall see him, not as a stranger, but as a friend! What a glorious hope”! Job 19:26-27 TLB Job did not lose his hope in God. “ Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life”. Proverbs 13:12 AMP If you have read the book of Job, you know that God allowed Satan to afflict the losses and suffering of Job; however, Job, under all of t...

How Wayward Are You?

I know many of us have heard someone say, “If I knew you were coming, I would have cleaned my house”! No you would not have cleaned your house. The way your house looks when someone unexpected arrives is the way it looks all the time. This is how it’s going to be with many of us when Jesus returns~ unprepared! Be prepared – all dressed and ready – for your Lord’s return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks. There will be great joy for those who are ready and waiting for his return. He himself will seat them and put on a waiter’s uniform and serve them as they sit and eat! He may come at nine o’clock at night – or even at midnight. But whenever he comes there will be joy for his servants who are ready! Everyone would be ready for him if they knew the exact hour of his return – just as they would be ready for a thief if they knew when he was coming. So be ready all the time. For I, the Messiah, will come ...
