A word from God given to me in the month of January 2013

 I wanted to know why I am here. What purpose do I serve ? I  needed to know that I am not fighting this all for nothing. Is my life always going to be useless? These are the questions I needed answered. 
These are the words that were spoken to me :
God has told you what he wants you to do , you think you didn't hear right or that you made it up in your head. It's that still small voice , do what he has told you & believe his word that been spoken to you and over you.
Your ministry may not be a platform as you have in your mind it may start with your day to day , the ppl you meet your family friends . 
When I was told this I knew it was true. So then I asked  if it was God's will for me to go back to school and try to get a job ? Then this was what was spoken to me :

I have given personal words before its new to me & I was so afraid that I would miss it or not telling what God had even told me but I know now I can feel it the anointing I'm afraid not to tell now , I didn't want to tell you , cause u may think crazy but I had to lol
As soon as I read if u should go back to school or get a Job , I immediately got I have told her what to do she has to trust me.
So then I said this :
There are still some things I am confused about. I have felt like I should wait on the Lord before I go back to college and then I felt like that the Lord was saying nothing changes until something moves. Maybe you could ask God to show you which one he meant. I don' want to be someone people look down on.
This is what was said to me after that :
I just got ur message I will pray about this , u have to remember if confusion comes its not God , were getting into reasoning & trying to figure things out for ourselves , now Peter did step out of the boat & was doing the impossible as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus. U pray about it to , I will get back to u lol
And u want to stay in his will , so look at all the examples in the bible from Noah to Abraham to the disciples God told them what to do odd as it may have been they did it with the exception of Jonah lol , he eventually did. It happened with ease Gods anointing was on it they were moving in his will , i personally believe that if we're fighting to make something happen & it doesn't let up , then we may need to ask God are we in his will, I don't know if it should be so hard , u have to have faith & step out & the unknown is scary but we can trust God to do for us as he said . Abraham didn't know where he was going & Noah probably was the town joke building a huge boat when it had never rained just think about that . U know they thought he was crazy.

Then a man spoke these words to me as I was talking to a friend of mine about going back to school , he sent this to me and he has never spoken to me . This was completely out of the blue. Here it is :
"I believe a change in Jesus name for you Praise God"
So what do you think from reading this ? What is your assessment ?

The Bible, Our Prologue To Life

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie, and wish you could tell the Person not to go in that door or to stay away from that person because they were bad news?  If life was like book,or a movie, we would then be able to know a little about what to expect, and we all would make very few mistakes. If only we could see ahead like we can when watching a movie or reading a book.

However, we can see ahead if we just pay closer attention to the things, and people we surround our selves with. A persons past can foretell what will happen to them by who they choose to keep company with. Now granted some people change direction and decide on living a better life, but most of the time that only happens when they choose to follow God.  They can stay good for a little while, but if they are not grounded in Jesus then they soon slip back into there old ways.That is why it is best to be spirit led, and rely on God to choose your mate as well as your friends. Being spirit led can keep you from danger. For example, God can warn you not to be in a certain location at certain time. How many times have we had strange feeling not to go some where, only to find out later there was a terrible wreck?  Also being in bad company can often times lead you into the wrong place and the wrong time. For example, if you are in the car with someone and they have drugs on them but you are unaware and you get pulled over. Then you my friend are going to jail with them. Beware of the company you keep. In there lays your future.

The book of proverbs is a very good book of instruction on what to look for in wicked people. It will give you hints and clues as to the fruits of evil men / women. People of poor moral character are the same today as they were back then, and the words of proverbs prove it. You can tell a tree by the fruit it bares. Proverbs tells us of the fruit evil men will bare. Refer to Proverbs 24: 1-2 BE NOT THOU ENVIOUS AGAINST EVIL MEN, NEITHER DESIRE TO BE WITH THEM.
2 FOR THEIR HEART STUDIETH DESTRUCTION , AND THEIR LIPS TALK OF MISCHIEF.
It's important to rely on God in all life's choices. The Bible is our guide book and should be referred to often.

Prayer and spending time with God is another important factor in living a good life, and being spirit led. God wants a relationship with us, and He is just a prayer away. If you will draw nigh to Him He will draw nigh to you.

The Bible is our prologue of things to come depending on the choices we make. So I ask you today to choose the good life. Choose Jesus and live a life with a happy ending.

Mourning Sorrows Glory

Tears from Heaven fall like pennies from A tree.
Sorrow has no place there.
My daddy is now free.

Pain is no more, not for the ones up there
As for me and my house
Like a river it flows without reserve

Clouds well up in my heart
holding tears of rain
Produced by mournful sorrows and tormented pain

Upon the wailing wall I pray
Spirit of God please come
Comfort us this hour

In great need we are
Of your heavenly presence
Send us your word.

Let us hold on to you
Keep us snuggled close
Please wrap us in your arms of mercy

Heal the broken in heart
Cover us in your feathers
Let us not forget praise be to your name

A Dark Christmas Eve

Cold and cruel, Christmas Eve blows in, taking my daddy away to Heaven .
God bless those that mourn for they shall be comforted.
Cry's of thunder heard from within knowing my daddy is gone for good.
No more pain, no more tears, no more will he suffer again.

Heart quenching tears welled up inside my throat clinching my heart.
I love you daddy, I keep saying, hoping he will hear.
I wish I had him back to spend more time with and to talk to once again.
icy silence fills my home as I enter knowing he is gone.

I scream in remembrance of his presence feeling the forever emptiness now that is here.
The house is stale with hollowness that will never be filled.
take me away,  let me alone, let me scream out my pain in private,
while I hold my heart in my hand.
Laid in the ground, my heart, my love, my life, my daddy.

Blessed be the man that died on the cross
Jesus is his name
Through him is salvation
Through him I will see my daddy again
Cold is the grave that took him away
Blessed be the name of the Lord !

Tired and alone I sleep away my brokeness
I wake up still empty and hurting
feeling the comforter come once again
I think on good things and dry up my tears
Trying to forget my loss, my life and my home of tears
dying to be pain free I pray once again

Numb to the pain I try and smile
Make a joke or two to cheer everyone up
got to have strength you see .
The joy of the Lord is your strength.
I hold on to him.

My Blue Christmas

Sorrow dances across my face as thoughts of Christmas and another gone a rise.
Daddy is missing. He's not the same. He is aged in silver and his bones are brittle.His mind is worn with age.  We cannot take care of him by ourselves. He's in a home for the elderly and the feeble,  a health and rehab center, AKA " nursing home".

Christmas will not be the same. The first death has come once you enter the home . The second death is when you enter the ground. White rain falls as silver ice glistens on the roof tops and the trees. My daddy is gone. I miss him much. I am alone with my tear drops . They roll off my cheeks, still frozen red from the cold. They fall slowly to the ground.

Three important family members are now gone two are past, one is waiting, and I am left crying in the rain now iced. Winds blow coldly through the tree's whistling Merry Christmas. I remember the birth of Jesus told to me as a child, and I am thankful for Him that died on the cross and Rose again on the 3rd day. Comforted that I will see my family again one day . As for now day by day blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted.

I look over to the place my daddy lived, across the street.  finding it is empty. Only filled with memories, leaving me empty,and welled up with sorrow from deep with in. My eyes are the clouds that hold the rain that falls when too much is inside.

This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. Be thankful for the time that has past and gone. Be thankful for the present which is now. Be thankful for the God Given future ahead and the road less traveled that leads to Heaven. Where I will see my loved ones again . So Merry Christmas to me and all that receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you Jesus for dying on that tree. :)

My Son On the Ten Commandments




I was asking my son one day if he loved God and he said Yes mom I love God . Then I said well do you keep the ten commandments and he said just as serious as he could be " Yes I keep them right over there in that shelf".

Well I just about died laughing cause I had bought him a little cloth book that had the Ten Commandments embroidered on them .

I said " Jesse , I wasn't talking about keeping them that way. I was talking about obeying the Ten Commandments and he said Oooooh", lol.
Then I asked again "Well do you ? "
Then he said sheepishly " Well Some of them,"
 Well I never said nothing after this. I just thought well at least he is honest, lol.
