Terrific Tuesday

I know prayer can be a peculiar thing.  Prayer doesn't have to be all that difficult.  God like to hear from us whether it's just a whisper or an hour long conversation.  Being kind of a non-verbal child, I understand how it is when trying to build a conversation.  I mean you couldn't tell, now, cause I tend to talk non-stop.  It's like somebody handed me the relay stick and my mouth just keeps going.  But I'm proud I can talk somewhat normal now.  I went 18 years without ever knowing I even had a cleft palate. I knew something was wrong, but we didn't ever know what.
   Upon saying that, God likes to hear from us.  He doesn't need you to write out some long, drawn out prayer card. Some of those are nice but that's not the point here.  God can hear our thoughts, He understands our tears, and He knows how we feel.  We don't have to ask for something every time.  Just saying thank you Lord for my Blessings  is good enough sometimes.  He doesn't like to be overlooked.
  Have you ever been in a conversation and everyone is talking over you like you aren't even sitting there?  How did that feel? I know how I feel when people treat me like I don't understand what is going on.  God feels that same way.  He doesn't want to be left out of your life.  He loves us.  He wants to be included in everything we do.  IF we allow Him, it is a comfort to know He really IS there.  It's a Comfort to know He's there when no one is around to listen to our daily problems.  He loves to hear stuff like that.  Makin time for Him every day has been one of the best things I have ever done.  My husband will even sit and read the Bible with me some days.  God loves when couples pray and read His Word together.
    My point here,  Quiet Time with God doesn't have to be all that extravagant.  It's good to have a fancy, decked out, secret room to pray in, but that's not what it's about either.  It's about having a quiet time, where you go to a special corner by yourself and pray, meditate, and seek out God's plan for you.  It makes everything go so much smoother when you put Him first. It makes finding your purpose and Identity so much plainer.  He will answer you, if we will learn to take time and listen.

  Song--  Whisper a Prayer in the Evening, Whisper a Prayer a Noooon  Whisper a Prayer in the Morning, to keep your heart in tune.

 Prayer-- Lord help me set a side a quiet time each day.  My body needs to rest and reflect on Your Plan.  Your Goals are more important than mine and I know you have a Purpose especially for me.

                   The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love,
          O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Psalm 138:8

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Fantastic Friday

“To make this as simple as possible, let me say it this way: justification is all about Jesus. Jesus’ work, not our works, saves us. Jesus’ life, not our own life, is our hope. Jesus’ death, not our religious works, is our payment. Jesus alone forgives sin. So, we’re to repent of our sin to Jesus. Jesus alone gives righteousness. So we trust in Jesus for our justification. Our justification is not accomplished in any part by our own work, morality, or religious devotion. Justification is accomplished by Jesus plus nothing, and Jesus plus anything ruins everything.”   Mark Driscoll “Sometimes we’re so focused on our desired blessings that we fail to stop and thank God by remembering the blessings we already have in Christ .” Mark Driscoll    Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1 Prayer-- Lord, help me realize that the World d...

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
