You Did It!

 Psalms 51: 1-3

This is the season for graduations.  A life changing moment! A fresh start moment!  Leaving the old and starting something new!  It is a time that is very exciting, and we look forward to it.  At the same time, it can be very scary because of the unknown or trying something new.   We ask God to cleanse us and make us new.  We may have fallen or struggled but we got through it, and we have graduated to the next level or maturity in Christ. 

The Messenger on March 10, 2019, spoke on Help, I have Fallen.... I did it!  That is life right there.  You may fall, you may need to ask for help but you get yourself back up and accomplish what needs to be accomplish so you can say I did it!

In order to say, "I did it":

1.  You must acknowledge you did it because of your trust and faith in God.

Oh, Believers you can't do anything without God.  It is your obedience to God that delivers you to your Blessing season and sometimes who you may be attached to who trust in God. 

2.  You listen to Godly counsel than people of the world.   You are not here to impress or make people happy.  You are here to share the GOOD NEWS and be PURPOSEFUL to God's great Glory!  God will send people your way to encourage and talk to ...adhere to their counsel (you will know who they are because they have nothing to gain but the joy in you succeeding). 

3.  You live of your own experiences and testimonies. Remember God goodness of what He has done for you and know He will do it again. 

4.  Knowing the enemy seeks to kill your accomplishments because you are chosen and anointed.  Knowing this helps you move forward: no matter what it looks like, no matter what trials may come your way...HE is a WAY MAKER (remember it won't look like how we think it should look...trust God).

5.  Admit/Acknowledge your short comings and your sins.  No excuses, no beating around the bush, no blaming someone: come clean and take ownership than you can truly say "I did it".  Take responsibility of the good and the bad you do.  

Keep the Love of God and nothing will be able to stand in your way. 

Congratulations to all Graduates young and young at heart.

Many Blessings!!  You did it!

Always with Love,

The Planner

 I always been a planner.  It takes much to surprise me because I am an observer too.  I also don't like unexpected drama, so I like to be prepared ...so I plan. I find it great comfort our God is a planner too.  He knows everything before it happens so He can direct our path or place opportunities to get on His path so we can be covered in His grace.  So Sweet!

Jermiah 29: 11

Plans don't always work out how we would like them to. When our plans don't work out it can leave us upset, disappointed and at times resentful.  God gets upset too when we don't adhere to His plans.  I am so thankful God is not like us.  His mercy shines through us.  He is truly the God of many chances.  It is never too late to get on His path of righteousness. Humans we will disown someone in a minute if they do us wrong.  The Messenger spoke on Work Your Plan on September 8, 2019 and showed us how God operates:  He is a planner.  "Line your actions with scriptures and people will see if you love God".  

God is a planner....then He works it out!

God has a plan......we have to align us with God!

God has a plan.....even when you are in sin

God has a plan.....we should always expect God to do thing in our life no matter how old we are. 

Proverbs 16:9

Always with Love,

Where is my PEACE?

 I went to the beach last weekend.  It is said when you look out in the calm of the never-ending ocean you can feel God peace.  I love the beach because it is so relaxing and gives off a peaceful vibe. 

I am learning more and more the key to true peace is not to have any grudges and to forgive everyone and everything that hurt you.  

Philippians 4:6-7

The key to peace is forgiveness stated by the Messenger dated 3-8-2020, Peace of God.  This is one of the fruits of the Spirit: PEACE.  What stood out the most in this message about forgiveness is that you can't have peace if you don't have trust.

Job 3:26

I learned real quick trouble comes so when it comes trouble comes how am I dealing with it?  Am, I lost?  -Stuck on the fact that I have trouble "Oh, it is always something" "Oh, I can't seem to stay good for a long period of time" "Oh, why is this happening to me?"  

Get beyond the trouble!  Remember God delivered you before and He can do it again!  You are a child of God and scriptures says the Righteous will suffer.  Offenses will occur!!  Trials will come!!! It is time to trust God to deliver you from your situation.  It is time to understand yes, I get knocked down but still I rise.   I am going to be very real with you don't expect PEACE if you don't trust God. 

Come taste and see how AWESOME and SWEET God is....

Always with Love
