How Much Do You Love Your Body???

Friday...awesome, let's prepare for the weekend😂
I like to go to a certain restaurant very often, unfortunately I will only be going once a week, why you ask....I finally made it to the gym, I have been going everyday and I totally love it. I couldn't go today because I was truly exhausted but I will be there tomorrow. You see someone inspired me without realizing it. Someone I met a few weeks ago said something to me that resonated with me....he said he treats his body right, he works out and I am sure he eats right and it got me thinking....my body is God's temple and the way I have been treating it is horrible so I am basically treating God as if He is unimportant, so because I love God so much I need to treat this temple with much love and respect. So as much as I love to frequent at my spot I have to tone it down. God's temple is very important to me and in the same token, I actually miss the way I feel when I work out. All my frustrations, disappointments, sadness, negative feelings etc.. are left at every machine. I walk out with pure happiness, and optimism.

So this week I went to my spot and had a very interesting conversation with a very bright young man. You see we both are from two different faiths and although we don't agree on everything we were able to have an amazing conversation about God and the difference in out beliefs, we didn't argue about who's faith is the right one and we didn't say either one of our faiths were the right one and it felt great. He was actually interested in my belief as was I equally interested in his. That just goes to show you that we could live harmoniously, without trying to force people to think, act and believe as you do.
Everybody is different, we as Christians are called to love each other, treat each other with respect, and encourage each other.

Well, this weekend will be a relaxing one...chores, gym and maybe I will take myself out to the movies. So far I have been one pretty good date....lol lol

A Little Bit of Everything

Today I want to share something amazing with you.

You know that saying "You are who you walk with" well, you are not who you walk with, I have learned that about myself. I know and frequent with many different people, different beliefs, different lifestyles and that hasn't changed me one bit. I used to believe that saying but when I look back at my life I didn't become any of the people I hung out with... Why, well because I am unique in all my ways and so are you. 

I genuinely love people, everyone has a story and each story, to me, is amazing, that is why I tend to socialize with everyone. LOL "The Social Butterfly" they call me LOL

So my point is love people and don't let anyone classify you.

On a different note not sure if I mentioned I took off my wedding ring only because if anyone is really interested in me, (if he is a respectable man) he will not approach me.

Needless to say, I am still single. I have been concentrating on God, work, and now working out. I have met some interesting gentlemen, but they have just remained friends or just disappeared lol lol. I Don't get it, meeting people in Florida is hard. I have noticed guys my age range are looking for the barbie doll. Personality doesn't hold water here...haha if your cute, thin your in, then, you get the guys that could be my sons they are the ones that are interested. REALLY????? URGH!!! So basically I am in a no win situation lol lol.

I have prayed for that "ONE" the man that could make me smile without saying a word, the man that can look at me and know exactly what I am thinking, romantic, compassionate, loving, affectionate, honest, loyal, is excited about joining me on this new adventure. The man that when I walk into the room his heart just skips a beat, that to him I am beautiful and amazing, the man that would take me as I am with all my flaws and is ready to receive all this love I have to offer. A man that has a true relationship with God, a man of courage and integrity, Where is he...come forward.... Or does he not exist... Is this just a fantasy.

Hummmmm sad thing is I refuse to lower my standards... some say that is why I'm still single lol lol.

But me I say that is okay because I know he is out there somewhere, maybe I have already met him and don't even know it yet, which ever is the case. I will be patient and wait. God's timing is always perfect.

Have an amazing day.

READY.......SET.......GO!!!!!!!

Where do I begin my weekend was amazing, (well, I can't tell a lie.....I was a little lonely today..but other than that I am good). Well, it started Thursday, I reconnected with three old friends,  it was nice hearing from them.

Anyway enough about that, Friday I went to the Holy Land Experience in Orlando, I have been there several times but this time it was different. I was expecting a Wow factor but God kept it simple I remember coming back disappointed because I was expecting a fireworks kind of day like a crazy Holy Ghost moment and yet what I got was a reflecting moment, peaceful, quiet, stillness, it kind of reminded me of Elijah when he stood on the mountain waiting for the Lord to pass and he expected to see Him in the powerful wind, then the earthquake, then the fire but instead He came in the stillness because Elijah heard the gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:11-12 - The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by." The a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, the the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper). That is how it happened for me I sat in the prayer garden and there was just a stillness and I wept, I knew God was there with me I just knew it. There was peace, tranquility and just a gentle breeze that just caressed me. I went home the same day and then Saturday I went to the Renaissance Festival, had a blast there. Then today I went to church. Let me explain something I was visiting this church and was trying to get plugged in but I would give my number and no one called months passed and I decided I was going to seek another church because obviously this church wasn't home. So I decided I would give it one more try and I had been praying for days about this and I was specific with God and let me tell you God showed me. It's not on my time it's on His time and His timing is perfect (Lamentations 3:25-26-The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks him; It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord). Everything that was spoken today was an answer to all my questions, all my "why Lord" was spoken to me loud and clear, there was no doubt, no disillusions, no and no discouragement. I wept so much but it was a weeping that came from my soul I just sat there and the tears just came trickling down like a waterfall, I couldn't even make a sound, there was numbness of pain and just tears, my soul was the one grieving. Once we were done and we said the sinner's prayer, we were asked to fill out the same card I had been filling out and leave it at the end of the pews, I took mine since I was going to sign up for a class. Wouldn't you know God not only sent one but He sent 3 people to make sure I was going to get plugged in to a life group and fellowship. This my dear friends is a perfect example of how God leaves the 99 to go after the 1 (Matthew 18:12- 14 -What do you think; If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish) I was that one sheep that God chased.....AMEN this is His Love, this is Him telling me it's going to be okay, this is Him saying I am with you at all times, this is Him saying I am not going to leave you, this is Him saying I haven't forgotten you..

Lord God I pray the person or people reading this will be blessed and Glorify you Lord. That they would realize you haven't forgotten them, you are never late, you are always on time. To keep their Faith, Your love is so amazing my God I pray for an increase in their Faith, Health, Love, Finances, whatever the need is Lord, In Jesus Name, but most of all Lord I pray for an increase in their hunger to know you more Lord to want to have an intimate relationship with you ALMIGHTY GOD, they would learn to meditate on your word day and night, this goes for me as well Lord, that we would be Men and Women after your own heart. In Jesus Mighty Name AMEN!!!!

 

Tired

Good evening I am exhausted, just got in and there is much to say but just really tired today. Tomorrow I will post my day today and tomorrow so I hope you are in a mood to read. LOL So much to say.
God Bless and remember continue seeking God.

Motavation

So I need some real motivation, I really want to start working out again. I really miss working out but doing nothing seems more appealing (at least that is what my daughter says) LOL LOL. We have talked on the phone for about one hour you would think we would use that time to work out .....right? NOOOOO instead we just spoke about it.....we are half way there LOL LOL.
No, but seriously I know I have to get back on the train but, it has been so difficult. Can anyone relate?
On a different note I am motivated to draw nearer to God, I actually took off tomorrow so I can just spend time in His presence....I am so excited.  My soul thirst for the Lord, I am also looking for a church here in Florida, I have a home church in Jersey but now that I moved to Florida I need a home church here. If there are any Floridians out there reading this I live near Fort Lauderdale. 
God is awesome......remember that everyday you wake up is a new day to Praise Him. 
Today I am keeping it short but sweet ok. Tomorrow is another day.........have an amazing evening, and don't forget to leave a comment if you have any suggestions, questions, prayer request etc.....we need to lift up and encourage one another. 

Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. (NIV)
1 Thessalonians 5;11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. (NIV)
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking our meeting together (as believers for worship and instruction), as is the habit of some, but encourage one another, and all the more (faithfully) as you see the day (of Christ's return) approaching.(AMP)

Good night and be blessed.

BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!!!!!

I am sitting here wondering what to write, because I am so happy right now, I woke up this morning and I can't even explain the joy I feel. It's like I know everything is going to be okay. I know God is with me there is no more doubt. I believe it's because I shared my journey with you. It's true what they say when you confess, when you bring it all to the light you become free, you have peace.
My friend seek God in this time of pain, joy does come in the morning, learn from your hurt let it be a testimony to someone that might just need some hope.
People think because we are Christians we are perfect we don't feel anything and we are quick to judge others. It's good for the world to see that we struggle also, that we feel pain that sometimes we just act like a hot mess, what we do different is we seek God but sometimes we don't, like I said yesterday sometimes we just run.
Yes, God gets angry at us because he knows His plan is so perfect and we just can't see it, we are so engulfed in our pain that we just turn away, but isn't it awesome that God doesn't stay angry at us just like a true parent that He is. God's Grace, His Mercy, His Compassion, His Love is so much more than His anger. If you are a parent you could relate, when your kid does something don't you get upset but it doesn't last long, as I was typing this I could hear my grand-kids in my head always saying SORRY and my daughter says to them 'I KNOW, SORRY, YOU ARE ALWAYS SORRY, BUT THEN YOU DO IT AGAIN" but then she just looks at them and smiles........isn't that what we do, to God,  we are always sorry and then we do it again but God takes one look at us and smiles and he keeps forgiving us. How awesome is that.
Seek joy, share your journey with someone, you never know someone might really need to hear it. Walk in forgiveness, knowing you have God's Mercy, His Grace and His Love.
Joy comes in the morning.....remember that.

Psalm 30:5 - For His anger endureth but a moment, and His favor is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. 
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 
Romans 3: 23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Psalm 30:2 Lord my God, I called to you and you healed me. 
Psalm 100:1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Habakkuk 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy and with my song I praise Him 
Hebrew 4:16 Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Numbers 6:24-26 "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you Peace...................In Jesus Mighty Name.....AMEN

AND.......BEGIN!!!!

I never thought I would find myself here....DIVORCED!!! = DIVIDED by FORCE.
Well, either which way I never thought it would be me, we were HAPPY, we were IN LOVE, we were INDESTRUCTIBLE, nothing could break us apart or so I thought. Here I am a year later still trying to pick up the pieces of my failed marriage. I was told so many things, Hold on to God, He has a plan, it is all going to work out for His Honor and Glory, Don't Loose Faith.....not what I wanted to hear at that moment.
Didn't they know that my world was just destroyed, my world was infiltrated by the enemy? I didn't think anyone really understood what was happening, how I felt, how I just wanted to DIE.....I even asked God to just KILL me, I didn't want to live anymore, but guess what He didn't listen.

When we are young we always dream about our Knight in shinning armor, our Prince Charming or for you guys your Princess, your Queen and then we grow up and we meet "THE ONE" you know the one that makes you smile even if they aren't around, or just the mere thought of them makes your heart skip a beat, you can't imagine life without that person, so you get married, you think to yourself well this is it, for better or for worse till death, you even promise each other that no matter what the word "DIVORCE" is never to be mentioned that word is just as bad as cursing. You are partners for life, there is nothing that could separate you two because your love is so strong. Then it happens you get comfortable, you take each other for granted, you forgot what it was that made you smile. Then you or your spouse start looking in another direction and one of you go astray seeking happiness elsewhere. Then the promise is broken, DIVORCE creeps in, your happily ever after has just become a nightmare.
You ask yourself What happened, where did we go wrong? You start to blame everyone even God. You ask God why did you allow this to happen, why did you bring this person into my life? God you  know all things so you knew this was going to happen. All the while you don't hear God when He tries to tell you, I LOVE YOU, YOU NEVER ASKED FOR MY HELP, YOU CHOSE FREE WILL OVER ME, YOU DIDN'T TRUST ME TO BRING YOU THROUGH THIS, YOU LOST FAITH, IT WILL ALL WORK OUT, I AM HERE FOR YOU, I AM HURTING WITH YOU, I AM YOUR HEALER......until finally one day you stop screaming and you sit silently and then you hear a whisper, you can't make out the words so you strain to hear and all of a sudden the voice is clear and you hear God, but now you have shame because you were so mad you made a mess of things (I left my home, my children, my grandchildren, my friends, I just left everything and everyone behind, I just wanted to run).
So you hear Him but you feel that you are beyond help, Here we go again right? Well, No!!! I am here to tell you that even in your mess God loves you, there is nothing you could do to make Him stop loving you. He is your healer and I know it's hard because you are hurting, I know that pain and yes you feel like just giving up but don't, I am learning to turn to God in every circumstance, it's not easy and I have a lot to learn, I have good days and I have bad days, but most of all God has given me PEACE, He is loving me beyond my pain, beyond my guilt and beyond my shame.
I know He is working in me pulling out all the anger, hurt, bitterness, and healing the brokenness. One day at a time that is all I can say, I know in my mind I am forgiven, I just have to believe it in my heart.
My marriage failed but that doesn't make me a failure, I know we didn't seek God wholeheartedly, we chose to just give up, we relied on our own strength instead of God's strength, we didn't stop to listen, we didn't pray separately and together. We entertained the enemy, but that doesn't make us bad people. I know I have learned a lot on this journey and I know it's only the beginning there is a lot more healing and breaking that needs to be done. This will make me stronger and wiser. I am not perfect and I know now God doesn't expect me to be, all He wants is my obedience, for me to love and trust Him fully. I am not there completely but Praise God I getting there.
So yes, God will be Glorified not matter what, and I know with every tear I cry He cries along with me. I am not alone.
Today I wear a wedding band as a promise to God that I am His completely and the day I take it off it's because the man that God has chosen for me will replace it.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
2 Kings 17:14 But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked as their ancestors, who did not trust in the Lord their God.
Psalm 25:1 In you, Lord my God, I put my trust.
Psalm 84:12 Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.
.
I pray you have been blessed by my journey which is not over......THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

Mandisa - What Scars Are For (Lyric Video)

WHAT IS TRUE BEAUTY?

Hello all, it's been quite some time and much has happened since I last wrote, I will fill you in eventually but today I want to write about true beauty and what we as human beings perceive true beauty to be.

Well, when asked this question many of us think of the outward appearance of a person and yes this may be true to some extent, but true beauty is within. I have been told numerous times that I am beautiful but when I look in the mirror I don't see it, I don't see the beauty others see what I see are scares, bruises and so much pain. I see someone that is dying pretending she's alive and apparently I am really good at it because no one else sees what I see in that mirror, you see they see the outward appearance they don't see or maybe they just don't care to see what is really going on inside.

You see my husband left me 6 months ago, for another woman (hear him tell it he would say no, but the reality of it is he did) he is presently living with his girlfriend not too far from where we lived. Now if it was that he only left with another woman I don't think it would have been that bad but it's the way he crushed myself esteem that made it worse. So when all this happened I held on to God with all my might I didn't want to let go but little by little I became angry and bitter and I channeled all my anger and bitterness toward God I asked him how could he let something like this happen? He knew all the pain and suffering I had to endure from my past relationships, I thought all the pain was done I was supposed to live happily ever after ......not lol.

So what did I do you say I turned to social media I joined each one I could, Match.com, Badoo, Zooks, Twitter, and Facebook. Now FB I shutdown because it was too much drama (that's another blog for another time) the others well I kept them going for a while...so here it goes folks Match.com 560 men (after a week) want to meet me, Badoo 90 men (after two days) want to meet me, and Zooks 580 men (after less than a week) want to meet me, ooo and it gets better on Badoo I wound up with rewards after one day Hottest pics of the week, and most sought after person in less than 2 days. I was so souped really to think that I was considered beautiful (remember myself esteem is in the gutter) but these men all they saw was my outward beauty, very few saw what was happening on the inside. Last night I was speaking with a friend and he said to me that my pictures are beautiful but what he really saw was the pain in my eyes, he said "I see so much pain there and I know you have suffered much in your life"........Wow he could really see the scares unbelievable, I guess I can't hide from everyone lol, but you know something I believe God used him to speak to me, to let me know that I wasn't fooling Him (God). See God knows my pain, he knows what I am going through on the inside - (Psalms 139:13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb) so how can I hide from my Creator.

Today is my birthday and I woke up very emotional, lonely and empty go figure with all these men after me you would think I would feel great but no I don't you know why.....because the one that truly matters, the one that knit me in my mothers womb is the one that I should have been seeking His approval, He wants to tell me how beautiful I truly am, He sees my inward beauty the outside doesn't matter to Him. He has been yelling my name and I have been ignoring Him until today, when I finally heard His voice calling out to me. I have been taking it out on the wrong person, I have been seeking superficial gratification but when it's all said and done I am still left feeling scared, bruised, and with much pain, but you know something with every scar, bruise and pain there is a story and that story is meant to strengthen not weaken and it's with each bruise each scar and every pain that we become more and more beautiful why because we allow God our Creator to restore, rebuild, and renew us from the inside out.

So my friends when you see someone with outward beauty look a little deeper and see the true beauty that lies within. I finally learned that today.

May the Lord bless you and comfort you always.

IT'S TIME

So, Hello fellow bloggers, long time no write......lol I crack me up.

Well, the day finally arrived, God willing we leave in about 45min to the airport. We are waiting for our daughter and son-in-law to come pick us up. OOOOO.....silly me, you are probably wondering why I am so excited......... I realize you don't know.........we are going to Disney with our grandson Victor this is his birthday present from us. We had plan this for a year already and it almost didn't happen but God in all His awesomeness made a way......and so here we are.

Now the only other thing in the way is this wonderful hurricane heading our way.......LOL Hurricane Irene they call it........But I am believing that God is going to get us there safely. He never ceases to amaze me when I heard of this Hurricane I prayed and asked God please don't let it hit Florida and when I read about it I read that the hurricane is going to skip Florida........LOL Wow.....but you know what I really pray this hurricane just disappears into the ocean. It is so sad to see the aftermath.

I woke up with a song in my head and it's called Little Flower written and sung by Pastor Sam Cintron and the only part that keeps repeating in my head is "You found this little flower in this great big Forest" so I look out my window and there among the jungle that is in my backyard (LOL) are two little flowers..........and they are just so bright they look white but when I went outside to see them (I had to) they are a pale pink but at that moment I stopped and thought about that verse to the song the same way I spotted that flower amongst the jungle God spotted us amongst our jungle (drug addiction, fornication, deception, low self esteem, etc.....I'm sure you get the point). In all our ugliness God sees beauty.........Wow

Well just wanted to share with you this morning, and remind you that God sees you as a beautiful little fragile flower.

Have a blessed day.

IT'S CHRIST FOR ME

Putting God First is all I want to do

On this very day I will choose

Christ who paid the Price

So I can live my Life

He shed His Blood for you and me

On the Cross at Calvary

Who is this man many have asked

That gave His life with an unselfish act

They beat Him, Spat at Him and tortured Him that day

But He knew there was a debt that needed to be paid

So He gave His Life to show His Love

To a people that continue to give up

We look for Him when times are rough

We cry out to Him when we need His touch

We even remember the price He paid

And quickly forget Him once we have our way

No

Not I

Because on this day

IT'S JESUS CHRIST ALL THE WAY

AMEN!!!!

My Aunt

Wow I was reading my posts and I didn't realize I didn't give you all the Praise Report on my Aunt. My Aunt did pass a way I call it a Praise Report because although she is truly missed she is in heaven just worshipping our Heavenly Father. You see I didn't know a whole lot about my aunt Chica but when I went to PR I found out she just loved to worship God WOW!!! she would just sing praises to Him and she truly lived Proverbs 31. My aunt was an amazing Godly woman she loved with her whole heart and she gave of herself completely. I was so blessed when I heard such beautiful testimonies. You know I was looking for a physical healing the ones we see with our eyes but God did heal her she did touch the hem of His garment because now my Aunt is not suffering anymore, she has no pain and she can dance and sing to God every day for all eternity. Titi Chica will truly be missed and I thank God for allowing me to have the chance of meeting her and be blessed by her life testimony. God Bless

Abundant Blessings

Good morning! You know how when you read or hear something you just don't get it and then one day you read or hear it again and it speaks volumes, well that is what happened to me today....Praise God, He is good and He's always on time. When God Blesses he Blesses ABUNDANTLY!!!!! it's not small its so much that you are going to be able to share that Blessing with others because it's so much....... Luke 5:4-7 -When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch." Simon answered "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets." When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. After reading this scripture I just broke down because here God is letting us know if we want a blessing 1 we have to go deep it's not going to be right there on the surface, it's going to be in deep waters (Prayer & reading the word of God). 2 we need to be obedient to whatever God tells us, even if we don't see it, even if we don't understand it and even if we had tried it that way already with no results when God says do it we need to just do it no questions asked. 3 We need to trust and believe God, have faith. Then the blessing will come and it will be so much the people around you are going to be blessed there isn't anything big enough that is going to be able to take the weight of the blessing because it will be in abundance. I know what I have been waiting for and I know that their have been times I doubted that the blessing was ever going to get here but today my faith has been restored. I will cast my net wherever God tells me because I know He is preparing me to receive my blessing......... How about you my dear friend are you ready to listen to God and cast your net? May you have a wonderfully blessed day. Love ya

To the Backslider,

When you accept Jesus as your Savior you have also accepted Him as your Lord you cannot do one without the other. Jesus has manifested Himself into your whole being and you have given Him complete control. I am not saying that once you say “Jesus I want you to come into my life and I accept you as my Lord and Savior” that everything is going to be perfect, I am saying however, that there will be change, you will be transformed into a new creation, 2Corinthians 5:17 – therefore if anyone is in Christ the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here. That is why when you walk away from God you still have this uncomfortable feeling that something is off, it is the Spirit which lives in you, which you had said YES and AMEN to. Once Jesus comes in He doesn’t leave willingly, we throw Him out, we pack His bags and shut the door, but the beauty of it all is he doesn’t go far away, He sits at the door knocking and waits for us to open it again Revelations 3:20 – Behold, I stand at the door and knock: If any man hears my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me. I remember one time my daughter Maria was about 2 or 3 yrs old and she said I am leaving so I opened up the door and said “bye” and shut the door behind her. She didn’t move she stood right at that door with tears streaming down her face, just waiting to see if I would open up the door for her to come in. I believe in the same way Jesus is just waiting at the door with tears in His eyes knocking and wondering if we are ever going to open the door and let Him in once more.

Well my question to you is this:
Is your life any better now without Jesus?

If your answer is yes remember what the word of God tells us in John 14-6 - Jesus answered, "I Am the way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me" and Matthew 7:13-14 - Enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it, but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to Life,and only a few find it. Remember my dear friends the devil is a liar (John 8:44, Revelations 12:9, 2Corinthians 11:14) all he wants to do is destroy (Revelations 13) he paints a pretty picture so you could believe your life is better without Jesus, however it's not too late you could still open the door and let Him in.

If your answer is NO open the door, He is right there on the other side just waiting for you.

I pray that this message blesses you as it did me.

Love you and God Bless You always

I Am Here

I arrived to PR at 9pm. The flight wasn't bad I was a bit nervous but when I saw my Uncle all the nervousness dissipated. I did recognize him right away what a beautiful couple my Uncle and Aunt are. I was greeted with hugs kisses and tears I really felt like the lost sheep that has found her way home. I pray I am able to see my aunt today, I am believing that God will heal her. He will Glorify Himself in this, and I was praying that I opened the bible to read my word and the scripture was Matthew 14:35-36
And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

All she has to do is reach out and touch the hem of his cloak and she will be healed in Jesus Name.
See it is Faith that healed them they believed that just by touching the hem of His garment they would be healed I believe is looking for Crazy Faith we need to believe and know that God will heal her and that her Healing will bring Glory and Honor to the King, The Healer, the Miracle worker, Our Father, Our Strength........AMEN!!!!!

Love you
Good night

The Day Before

At this time tomorrow I should be landing in PR. I opt to stay at my Aunt's house that way I could get up very early and head to the hospital. My Uncle will be picking me up, I am very nervous one because this is the first time I travel with out my best friend in the whole world, yes you guessed it My wonderful husband. I am going to miss him so much also because I am going to see my Aunt Angelica, God willing before she passes away. I know God is a Miracle worker He raised Lazarus from the dead right, and I know if it's in His plan He will Heal her completely............Hallelujah!!!!! My God is an awesome God.

Well, that is all for now Please keep my family in your prayers. Thank you and God Bless.

Death

Loosing someone you love is never easy, I know it's really hard when the person is not saved or backslinen but the pain is there when the person is saved as well.

When I was two years old my Mother & Father separated, not only did they separate from each other but the children were separated from dad & everyone from dad's family (of course not by choice). As fate would have it many years later I was reunited with my family, my Aunts, Uncles and cousins, who all expressed this overwhelming love for me, oh how beautiful that was. I was able to meet most of them, except for two my Uncle Felix and Aunt Angelica. Despite the fact of not meeting each other we spent some time on the phone talking about this and that but mostly on how we really couldn't wait to meet. Unfortunately we might not have the opportunity to meet and hang out together, you see my Tia Angelica has terminal cancer & today I was told she is not going to make it, she is in ICU.

I will be flying to PR on Thursday the 3rd (I had originally booked my flight for Tuesday the 8Th, Praise God I was allowed to change it). I was told that the doctors are not allowing anyone up except for her husband, however I believe the Lord will allow me to at least see her if only for a minute. I just want to hold her in my arms even if for a moment just to tell her how much I love her and even though we were unable to be together in my growing up years I know the love of my family was always with me.

I have learned that we need to stop and think about what is really important. I wanted to meet my Tia so bad but yet I vacationed elsewhere instead of just going to PR to meet her and spend time with her. I was selfish, now it might be too late. Life is too short and God has blessed me with such a beautiful family, they may not be perfect but nor am I, but imperfect and all they are my family. I tell you this because I know I learned the true meaning of that saying "Don't bring me flowers when I am dead". Don't wait till it's too late to spend some time with your family or friends.

God is good and He is in control, I believe that if it's God's will she will be completely healed!!!!

Love you and God Bless you

Royalty

Tonight I had the privilege of cooking for Royalty, The daughters of The King, each unique in her own way, what a privilege and an honor to serve them. I was surrounded with so much love and laughter. I couldn't ask for anything more. These ladies are so precious and dear to me each one has blessed me in ways they could never imagine just in the way they Love Our Father alone has been a blessing to me, the way the serve Him and Honor Him in everything they do and say. I know He has to be really proud of them. And as for me I am just so honored to call them my Sisters.

Thank you ladies for being such a special part of my life. May the Lord continue to Bless you and may He give you the desires of your heart.

I Love you.

Stop Complaining

So, I have come to the realization that we are a Nation that loves to complain, "it's too cold, it's too hot, it's raining too much, it's raining too little, there's too much snow, we want a white Christmas, I don't like my car, I don't like my hair"....etc, etc, etc....you get my point. The next time you think about complaining think of the blind person that will not be able to see the snow and how beautifully it blankets the trees, how about the Chemo patient that has lost his/her hair, or the person that is unable to get out of bed and walk outside just to feel the rain on his/her face, and don't forget the person that has to walk miles in the snow just to get to work.

We tend to forget how truly Blessed we are. When it snows a lot take time to just enjoy God's beauty, when you get caught in the rain Thank God for Washing you Clean (literately), when it's too cold Thank God that you are able to feel the cold, and when it's too Hot Thank God for THE SON!!!!

Live, Love Laugh.......God has it all under control

Be Blessed and Be Grateful.

2010

So just a few more hours and 2010 will be gone. What have I accomplished this year you may ask? Well, I taught my first Life Group Lesson, my daughters and I have been getting along a lot better we have learned we are all different but yet the same in a lot of ways, I have learned to truly trust God not just saying it but actually trusting Him, and I am surrounded by so much Love.

We will be entering the New Year at our church Hope Center Tabernacle, 110 Cambridge Avenue, Jersey City, NJ we truly do have a blast there is no better way to usher in the New Year than with God giving Him all the Honor and Praise.

All in all 2010 has been a good year. My only sorrow is that our baby girl is not here to enjoy it with us, however she knows that we will be thinking of her at the stroke of Midnight. So yes she is truly missed.

I pray you all have a wonderful and blessed New Year and please be safe.
