Matthew 6:31-34 MSG

31 What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving.32 People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works.33 Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.34 "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

Trusting God...Dreams Do Come True

As I sit here...well really stand here waiting on my car, I peruse the books. Anyone who knows me knows I love books. As I looked at Tim Tebow's book it struck me, "I'm going to go ahead and TRUST God." I don't know Tebow from anybody, but there was something about his book after getting that feeling made me embrace that quiet truth knowing there are going to still be challenges and triumphs.  It's a steadfastness that must regain and hold on to that I let go.  It's like being "ride or die" for Jesus! I'm so thankful for the things God give me when I least expect it. 

Anyway, as I see all the books beyond Tim Tebow, like Jennifer Hudson, Joyce Meyers, Jentezen Franklin, Billy Graham, Dr. Ben Carson, Diary of a Wimpy Kid guy, and so many others...it struck me that dreams do come true, but not without hard work, dedication, sticktoitiveness and trusting God.  For whatever this is worth, what are you losing by not trusting Him? I'm not talking about a natural man, I'm talking about God, Alpha & Omega, King of kings and Lord of lords! Oh, happy day!

Oh, God IS ABLE!

God IS able! He is in no way slack in performing His promises! He is waiting for us to turn to Him in complete worship without being distracted by bells and whistles, books and journals just to BE with Him. He still performs miracles! He hasn't died off from what He's "able" to do. So, I hear this resounding cry, "then why hasn't He done "XYZ" in my life?" To that I say, "Why not start the conversation with Him from right there?" Ask Him.  He's waiting to hear from you. You no longer need for anyone to go before you in prayer.  Jesus ripped down the curtain that separated us from God. It's time for us to go beyond the veil! Yes, books, journals, and all that is good, however they don't take the place of BEing with Him. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above what you are even capable of asking or imagining. However, there are conditions.  You don't believe me? Check out Ephesians 3:20. Be encouraged! Chase after Him. Watch "Chasing After You (The Morning Song)- Tye Tribbett & GA" on YouTube

Not Before It's Time

A knock at the door revealed my car was sticking all the way out of its parking space. It had literally removed itself from the parking space!!! I had the emergency brake on. I remembered hearing that sound that I used to when it had done this in the pass, but ignored the sound because its been years since I heard it. Nonetheless, I went out there and put the car back in its space and put the clutch into 1st gear to make sure it didn't move before its time or on its own again!

Lord, give me and everyone the reads this post the safeguards that we need to ensure we don't move before You say it's time or out on our own. However, when you say, "Go!", let us go forth in the power and passion You've placed in us. Set us ablaze for You; fulfill the purpose you have us in the earth. Thank You for listening and using something so simple (in the natural) to give me new words of prayer (proceed the spirit). Amen!

Delayed Decisions

I am amazed at how long I can just "think" about doing something that is in my power to do rather than acting on what I know to be true.  In this respect, I am referring to my hair as just one facet of this realization.  Tonight I had my husband to cut my locs. Now, before you think they are gone, they are NOT. I have been "thinking" about having him even them up for at least 6 months. I don't know why I took so long making the decision. Tonight, my neck feels lighter. Many people do not know, but my neck has been bothering me.  The pain has subsided.  However, I didn't realize the weight of my hair until it was gone.  My head feels so light and my neck feels even better! Oh how I wish it didn't take me so long to do what I knew I wanted to do. The fear of not making the best, best decision must go! I lay this one down now because I can see it is a dangerous place to be and leaving a doorway for the enemy to work in my life.
