Dream




So last night I had the weirdest dream! I woke up at 3:40 to go check on Brody cause he was making noises. He had kicked his blanket off and was cold, so I covered him up and went back to my room. I wasn't sleepy so I decided to go to the living room to watch Teen mom. Yes I watch Teen mom and enjoy it. So I told myself that I wouldnt go back to bed and I would make it to the 6am prayer meeting at church. Well without even noticing I fell asleep....however in my dream It continued as If I was awake....I was sitting there infront of the TV , but I was praying, I sat there just talking to God. Asking him to please protect me and my family . And if he could spare me from anything like waht happened to Job. After praying for a long time...in my dream ...i was like wait a minute my TV is off...wasnt I watching Teen Mom?....Oh no this is one of those creepy dreams again....and I force myself to wake up....and I did......TV on.....I had fell asleep......wonder what that was about....

I have no idea. Well tonight I have an adult sleepover party!! Woo hoo!!! All girls. Im so excited!!Should be tons of fun!

A new season!!!!

So its here!! Our NEW season is about to start! I cant help but be amazed at the Lords work . He knew exactly what he was doing all along. Everyone would tell us, God has a plan, stay put, calm down, just pray. Which I would have listened and handed it over to God a lot sooner. When I think back to all the wasted time I spent doubting my future, not fully trusting God for everything. But then again I should just stop thinking about that and see my present! Gods plan is here! His light is shinning brightly, and come what may I feel God's hands all over my life right now.
If you are at a place in life were you are uncertain on why God would make you go through this, If you see no light at the end of the tunnel...I say to you ...the same words I often say to myself....oh ye of little faith. If you only knew the amazing plans he has for you ...hang in there, do NOT give up...give him your situation...trust...enjoy each day and let him take care of tomorrow....hug your loved ones...apologize for hurt feeling...let go of grudges...and praise him for everything. Seek God and everything else will just fall into place!!! Have a very blessed day!!!!

Today is Wednesday!!!

Most of my friends do wordless Wednesday ....but this day for me is one of the most exciting days for me.Too much goes on to stay wordless haha. I get my mid week Jesus in youth church and I feel it makes a HUGE difference in my attitude and week.I just love Wednesdays!!! Who would have known hump day would be one of my fave's.This morning I read the following scripture following an email devotional i get and it made me think..a lot!

1 Peter 1:3-9 (The Message)

A New Life
3-5What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole.
6-7I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.

8-9You never saw him, yet you love him. You still don't see him, yet you trust him—with laughter and singing. Because you kept on believing, you'll get what you're looking forward to: total salvation.


Makes me so think how spoiled and rotten I am . haha Seriously. My father is soooo good to me, that when I dont get what I want I throw a mental fit and sit and ponder when my next gift is coming. What about focusing on the gifts he has given me, my family, my babies, my husband, my home, my health, my life!!!! Oh what an amazing God I serve. If you are going through something today and just waiting for that answer from God, know this...he loves you , he is madly in love with you, so in love he gave his one and only son for you. That gift should overpass any other that you are hoping and wishing for. His love should be sufficient. If you are anything like me , you will sometimes fall back into your humanly way of thinking. You want what you want and you want it now. My husband is currently waiting for a phonecall on a job, and I think I'm more anxious than him haha . However I must trust that the lord ALWAYS opens the right doors and closes the wrongs ones when you ask. So for today I will be pleased with his love!!!!!!

Love y'all

What time is it?




God's timing is not our timing but its always perfect......but it always seems to take forever. Ha ha Not to sound rude. But there are times that I wish I had a direct line to Jesus on my phone where I could get clear responses. Like So when is this new season exactly going to start? Where am I called to ministry? How am I going to start this?....Oh the things that keep my mind going at all hours of the day. However I trust that he always knows exactly what he is doing. He has never failed me to this date. At times when I seemed so alone and down on my knees again and again...He was there listening to every word, just waiting for me to get up off my knees and start chasing him. Rejoice in the Lord and he shall give you the desires of your heart.....in due time. Until then I wait faithfully and patiently....well 1 of 2.

take my heart and take all that I am....Oh Jesus how I adore you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exhausting

Have you guys ever had somebody in your life that just exhausts you? It takes energy and work to keep them happy. I wonder what we are to do? This is especially hard for me cause Im very laid back and go with the wind kind of person. I might throw a small pitty party , but I always end up sucking it up and moving on. Its so hard for me to deal with this kind of personality. But If Im suppose to be a Christian , and Im suppose to talk like Jesus and walk like Jesus , does this mean I shoud make an effort to keep this person in my life, or is it time to let go?

God is in control!




So I have not written in here in a long time....a really really looong time. I felt the need to write the following in here, in hopes to one day come and look back on it. As I scroll through some of my older posts I see how much God has worked in my life since then. He was so very present then as much as he is now. I just never stopped to take notice. On wednesday we were finally able to go into our brand new youth room. That service was amazing and beyond anything I was expecting that night!!! There was a part in the service when Pastor Ruben asked us to just get quiet ...BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD....we were to listen to what God was trying to tell us. God at that moment told me the following " I could have taken your father from you and I didnt, I could have let cancer kill you but I didnt, I could have let a disease overcome your body and you would not be here this moment and I didnt , I could have sold your house if I wanted to but I didnt , I could have moved you back to Dallas but I didnt.WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE LIFE I HAVE GIVEN YOU?" All these things were in his control!!! All these things he has worked in such an amazing way!!!! Everything he has done was to prosper me not to harm me, oh how I wish I could go back to times of despair and just let him be God. Do what he does best and just watch this amazing God, who is all God, All love, and promise. I am so madly in love and on fire for Jesus right now. I cant wait to see what else he has in store for us. Right now Im praying on my exact calling, but I know Gods timing is perfect and it will be revealed to me in due time. Love you
Genesis 28:15 New Living Translation (NLT)
What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”
