Together Forever

This post I'm just sharing my feelings. I have a cousin, well technically we aren't blood related but blood could not make us closer. Our parents grew up, met their spouses, married, lived in the same neighborhood and raised families together. Most of my good memories involved her. We went to church, played, sleep overs, vacations, got in trouble, etc together. Well my cousin has been battling cancer for a bit. Nonetheless she has a positive attitude. Sure she has her days, who wouldn't, but overall she would bring encouragement to us in her faith of healing. This past week the dr gas her news that the cancer has entered her blood. This news has shaken her a bit. She has a husband and children that she is literally fighting to live for. 
I believe that even though the dr says one thing about her diagnosis that God can turn it around. This is what I need from you. I need you to pray for my cousin Angie. Pray not only that God completely heals her, but that she is encouraged and that she never loses her smile. Pray for her family, her support system as they continue to to be there for her. I know depression, I've lived it for less than what my cousin is dealing with and has gone through the passed year or so. 
Even in her sickness she is encouraging and positive and smiling. We can learn from that. We can learn to smile in the midst of physical, mental, emotional pain. We may not understand or even like everything that God allows us to go through, but if we allow his word to speak it WILL be ok.  http://youtu.be/4JK_6osCH74

Weather Report

As I looked at my "Timehop" I saw a post I  wrote a year ago. The post was written as I watched the news, specifically the weather. It made me think, how many of us plan our day, waredrobe, etc around what the weatherman "predicts"? He says "a chance of rain" we take our umbrella. He says, "1-3 inches of snow" we wear boots. Even if when we look outside and there is NO sign of what the weatherman has predicted, we believe and carry out our day accordingly. What if we had the same faith in God, his promises and his word as we do the weatherman. Would we believe that "by his stripes we are healed" even when the dr report says differently? Will we believe that when we're in trouble "God will part the heavens and come down and grab hold of us" when we are in trouble regardless if there APPEARS to be no way out? Will we believe? When we look at our situations, bills, finances, life, and what we see doesn't match what God ha...

Today I Pray

Today I pray against the spiriting depression! I pray that fir every negative thought, God replaces them with 5 positive, building, encouraging thoughts. I pray that when the spirit of loneliness creeps up, you feel Gods spirit of love. I pray that when the spirit of defeat creeps in, God overwhelms you with the spirit and the fighting warrior! I pray that when you feel like no one loves or appreciates you, god reminds you that I do. Sometime we may not get the love appreciation as WE would like but if we take THAT moment to think about how God feels we we don't love and appreciate him, our worries don't seem that significant.

Work It

Do the best that you can with what you've got. It may be a little, may be a lot. Regardless of the measure, we are all blessed with SOMETHING. The key is not to worry about what someone else has. If we constantly measure ourselves to others we may feel that we always fall short. When really we only know what people allow us to know. For instance, you may see a woman that is beautiful, with a georgeous husband, big house, expensive car. That same woman may have tons of weave, makeup covering up bruises from being abused from her hunk of a man. The point, live out YOUR destiny not someone else's. Be tue to God, yourself and those that love you. Seek and use he gifts and talents God gave YOU! Follow YOUR dreams and reach YOUR goals! What are YOU working with? Work it!
