I cannot imagine what life would be like if I were a young girl that had ran away from home.  How would I feel if I were lost, vulnerable, and had no where to go?  Would I be scared?  Would I hate my parents for not taking better care of me?  So many things come to mind as I sit and write about this. I know a young lady that is currently homeless, and my heart aches for her.  I have two girls, and cannot imagine them being out in the street with no where to go.  Each day that I have with my kids is a treasure, and not a moment is taken for granted.  Each day I practice godly character, and see how I can be a blessing to someone else. Today's prayer is for the teens, and children that have ran away from home.  Those that are in the streets with no way to go, and they are a long way from home.  Somebody's parents are worried sick tonight, and they are missing their child/children.  I hope that this prayer will minister to you today as ...

Dear Lord Today there are so many hurting people There are in extreme pain And they are dying in their issues Lord So many people are overwhelmed by life They are over whelmed by life's problems Even our children Lord  Are finding it hard to cope with life They are dying prematurely They are committing suicide They are killing each other Lord they are suffering I cry out into you Lord  To help stop some of the pain Some of the struggle Give your people direction Give them hope Give them a miracle O LORD Heal the land Lord I cry unto you Lord  In prayer In fervent prayer Lord The people need you Praise the Lord Father on high We need a word Lord  You are God Jesus Hallelujah Amen and  Thank God "LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you.

Lord  I thank you for waking me up in the light of your love Thank you Father for this new beginning Lord you didn't have to do it But you did it anyway You have brought me a mighty long way You have kept me safe from dangers Both seen and unseen You have been so good Abba father I owe you All of my praise You have been a rock of salvation You have been lawyer in a court room A doctor in the hospital A shelter in the time of storm you have been more than I need Lord I give you thanksgiving in this Tuesday I will bless the name of the Lord "All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."  2 Corinthians 4:15 

Dear Lord Today I pray for contentment and joy I pray for your plans for my life Even though I am striving daily I still need you in my life Lord fill me with your joy In you I have hope You alone Do I give praise In these times of today I need your renewed strength I shall be happy I shall be content In you I will be at peace today  Amen "Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Phillipians 4:11-13 May the Lord bless you to content as we go through day to day changes.  Change is constant, and we do not know what the next day will bring.  May there be peace in your life on today.  Until next time may God bless yo...

Dear Lord I thank you for the times that I spend in your presence The times that no one can see See that I am hurting See that I have been laboring with my tears The times that it seems like all hell has been breaking loose in my life The times that the kids didn't want to act right My wife was being difficult My husband had no understanding The times that there was no food on the table That time when I felt like giving up Or the time I simply had no direction Did I metion the time ALL the bills were due, and I had no momey Lord I need to know that you will be there  During those unseen times Times when people think that all is well And they think that I am okay But I am just too embarraessed to tell anyone that I am hurting This prayer is for those unseen times The moments that I can come in your presense I can pray to you I can let go and be ME God I am so grateful that you love ME Thank you Father for your unfailing love This is m...

This year I have made a pact with myself that I will finally lose the weight that I  have been trying to drop for the last few years.  About two years ago I had started a weight loss journey where I had lost aprroximately 85 pounds.  Since that point I have been up and down on the scale.  I have still maintained an exercise routine where I walk, and do strength training, but there is something left to be desired. Lately I have not been ssatisfied with my weight.  Do not get me wrong I have made peace with myself, and I love the woman in the mirror, but... I still see a need to change for the better.  Last week I think I did research on several diets, and I have looked at the latest forms of excersise.  I will admit that I am actually excited about changing my life. Isaiah 43:19 says "See, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  I am making a way in the wilderness and streams i the wasteland."  Sometimes i...

Today I would like to minister to the women that have been yearning for a child.  I want to share some of my journey into  motherhood, and what the scriptures say about some of the women in the Bible that was in direct contact with the Creator when they had given birth to their miracle babies. To be barren means to be unproductive, infertile, unfruitful, and desolate.  In the Bible there were several woman that had to deal with being barren, but today I will talk about three.  At a time in theese women's lives God had chosen to close the wombs of these women.  Again their wombs has been considred to be desolate, and very infertile.  These women of the Bible suffered from infertility. Back in these days there was no such thing as fertility treatments, and there were no such things as IVF, and egg transfers.  In the case of Sarah she is one of the first women that had a surrogate to carry a child for her.  Unlike women today the women in the Bib...

Brokenness is defined as a separation of two or more pieces.  It can be sundered by divide, separation, or disertion. It can on relation to broken ho.es, a broken marriage, or something as simple as a broken promise. In simpler terms brokenness is being incomplete, or a state of disarray and disorder.  Many people see brokenness, and refer to it as just being broken before God, but I want to talk about emotional and mental brokenness. I hope that you will sit back and read my story.  Let me minister to your heart and spirit.  You may find that you or someone you know has suffered from being broken and hurt.  Psalms 34:18 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in the Spirit".  This is a series of lessons and posts on brokenness and healing. I want to deeply minister to the women that have been touched by the brokenness of divorce, mental emotional, and physical abuse.  Maybe you have dealt with abandonment an...

While studying the Word this morning I had another disturbed feeling that hit my spirit.  I am most comfortable when my mind is clear, and I can focus on what I am reading. but there was an urgency in the need for me to pray. and seek God's face.  Usually when these feelings arise I am in a place where I am in the presence of God.  Lately I have been there more than usual.  I have found myself going into the presence of God several times in a day. It is no mystery that something is happening in this world, and my mind and spirit has been hungry for the wisdom and knowledge of God.  I have been making sure to guard the ear and eye gates of my children.  They are aware of what is going on, but I do not want them to be overwhelmed by what the world has become.  As I write this I am almost unwilling to turn on the T.V., but I do so for the sake of obtaining some information.  Instead of looking at the news I put it on cartoons to keep the kids engag...

This morning I sing, because I have many blessings.  Sometimes we tend to overlook the small things that God has done.  We can sometimes take for granted the very things that other people may be lacking.  My many blessings include my everyday needs. I may not have a mansion, but I have a roof over my head.  I may not drive a Bentley, but I have a vehicle to get around in.  I may not wear designer labels, but I have clothes on my back.  I may not eat at five star  restaurants   but there is food on the table.  I may not be what society says is beautiful, but I am made in the image of my Father.  I may not be where I need to be, but I thank God I am not where I used to be. I have health, strength, my beautiful babies, and family.  I have my life, opportunities, dreams,and most important above all I have my heavenly Father.  Abba Father God I love you and thank you for my many blessings.

Welcome to the summer!!  It has been a long time since I have posted to my blog.  The children and I have completed our first year of home school, and we are enjoying the summer. Today I want to briefly talk about new life, and what it means to start over.  I am so excited about what God is doing in my life.  I have recently graduated college, and have plans to have another child.  Yes you have read it I am on the journey to motherhood again, and have decided to document everything through my blog. Before I expand my family there are a few things that I have to do.  I have to lose weight, change my eating habits, and make some lifestyle changes that will ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby.  So for the next six months I will be on a very happy and healthy journey. I believe that we should not be a prisoner to our past.  There is some point in our lives that we have to forget the former things that have past away.  In order...

I have always believed that you should put your best foot forward.  Sometimes we have to step out on faith, and see where the Holy Spirit will lead us.  A will full of determination can go a long way.  I have learned that you can achieve your dreams if you let go of all the negativity.  It is easy for the enemy to come in, and try to defeat you.  It is his job to try, and destroy all of your dreams, desires, and goals.  The enemy will use all types of tactics to destroy you, but God is in control. I thank God for the daily renewing of my mind.  I would be in trouble for holding on to some of my old thoughts.  The Bible says  in the book of Romans 12:2 "   Do not conform  to the pattern of this world,  but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing  and perfect will."  (NIV) I am glad to say that my first book will be publ...

Well here we are at the week's ending, and another Friday that so  many of us rejoice over.  We look  forward to the day that we can kick up our feet and relax.  For me the weekend is an opportunity for me to reflect on what has happened during the week, and catch up on my writing. You know with the news of Ebola I can see that there are many people that are starting to panic, and that is a very bad situation.  The media has a way of making things seem more out of control than it may be.  Do not get me wrong.  It is good to stay informed, but it is not good to just focus on the bad things.  I was reading an article that said the Ebola virus is expected to infect 1.4 million people.  When you think about it too long, that can cause quite a stir in some people.  When I was younger this type of news would terrify me, and I would almost pass out from panic and worry.  It was an awful site to my mom. Yes, I know that we are living in...

Since my divorce it has been really difficult to date.  There are so many things to consider when you have children.  Life itself can be very "busy", and there is so much to do in one day.  When the thought of dating entered my mind I was totally confused about the concept.  This topic was not like one of my psychology classes,  I could not research this information.  I have always known that the day would come when I would enter into a new relationship. No matter how painful the break up was, or how bad the divorce have been, there comes a time when we have to learn to move on.  It has taken me several years to heal from my divorce, and I find it very difficult to open up about the pain that it has caused me and my children.  I will say that the process has been worth it ,but I will never forget how traumatizing this experience has been for my family. One reason why I am sharing my story, it may be able to help someone else who is in a simil...

It is a very early morning, and I am doing my normal routine of reading, and preparing for my day.  I look throughout the house, and notice that my children are sleeping soundly in their beds.  After reading all of today's headlines  I am amazed at how many stories can inspire, but even more amazed at the stories that can make you think. In the past I have read many stories that have made me respond, but in twenty years of writing I am very touched by the stories that affect children.  Lately I have been reading many heart breaking stories about children committing suicide, being bullied, and yes being abused.  All of these stories have touched my spirit, and have stirred my emotions on a very high level. I know that the world we live in has very little compassion, and most people have become very cruel.  It is not my place to judge, but it seems that our children are suffering in this world.  I am mother, advocate of children, and I am very upset ...

As  I sit in the still and quiet room, I can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.  It is one of those evenings where I am en\joying a hot cup of coffee, while the kids are playing outside,  We had an average kind of day.  My youngest daughter was kind of cranky, and ,  my son decided that he wanted to do all of his chores during class time.  I am very strict when it comes to the children.  We are on a schedule that I intend to stick to.  We are up by seven thirty, and they bath to get ready for school.  By eight we are at the breakfast table.  My daughters are usually the ones that be gin the preparation of breakfast.  Of course I am there to supervise the whole thing. I do not think that they are too young to be trained.  I have often stressed training my children, and I do not mean that in a literal sense.  We actually apply real life lessons in our home school.  My girls know how to cook...

As I look around the classroom in my home I am in awe of what the Lord has done.  It is His mighty power, and grace that has kept me over the years.  I am thankful not because I am forced to, but because I am a very blessed and kept woman of God. I know that I am nothing without the power of God.  With Him I know that I can do all things and know that I have triumphantly succeeded in every battle that I have ever faced.  With him I am more than a conqueror.  I am a hero in my own right.  Being a spiritual being made in the image of my Father sets me up on a higher standard of living. I thank God for the life that I live.  I thank the Lord for his love, mercy, and grace.  I may not have a mansion, but I thank God for the roof over my head.  I may not own a limo, but I thank the Lord for the car that I drive.  I may not wear designer clothes, but I thank the Lord for the clothes on my back.  Most of all I thank the Lord for His So...
