LET GO... LET GOD

Luke 18:17 Truly I say unto you, whoever does not accept and receive and wlcome the kindgom of God like a little child [does] shall not in any way enter it [at all].

Little children are so good at forgiveness...why as adults, are we ok with staying mad? If you're planning on living on this earth; being hurt, offended, wounded, is going to happen, because we GET hurt, we GET offended, we GET wounded. We ALLOW it to happen, allowing us to bleed internally. Many times people dont even know they have hurt you... "Everything that God tells us to do is something that will be good for us IF we do it. When we forgive, it's not really for Him, it's for YOU. You are giving yourself the gift of FREEDOM!" Joyce Meyer
LET IT GO... Satan will keep trying to drag you into it. Why are you still allowing Satan to kick you and drag you into his darkness?

Job 42:10-17 Job prayed for his friends, who had hurt him terribly. And when he did this, he was blessed beyond imagination. After the junk that he went through, he was blessed with many many years - there is a whole lot of life waiting for you after whatever it is that you are going through .. the quality of the life that is waiting for you depends on how you handle the situation that you are facing, that is happening to you. there is life after whatever tragedy you are experiencing!!

Genesis Joseph was sold as a slave, and he was imprisioned, there was a famine in the land. <> Joseph was in charge of all the food in Egypt. No matter how PEOPLE treat you, God will promote you. but He will not promote you if you are filled with unforgiveness, bitterness, hatrid, or vengeance in your heart. "Vengeance is His ... Not MINE.." Genesis 50:15-22 God sometimes uses the evil in others lives to mature you, to help you understand and build your character in His image. Joseph lived 110 years after he was sold by his brothers into slavery. THERE IS LIFE AFTER TRAGEDY. You CAN make the decision to release whatever you are facing to God, and He will make it right.


Little children JUST BELIEVE!! As adults, why do we feel that it is so difficult to just Believe. When was the last time that you dreamed? You can create joy in your own life.

Book suggestion John Ortberg.. "God is closer than you think"

John 11:40 "Jesus said, If you would only believe, didn't I tell you that you would see the glory of God"

Good bye best friend

It's been over a week since I had to have my best friend put to sleep. She was a fantastic old dog, amazing companion, who was with me through so many different stages in my life. From buying my first house, to losing my job as an education coordinator, having my fiancee and best friend sleep together, moving across the country just me and her, graduating from massage school, meeting my husband, having her approve of him, getting married, starting my business, having a miscarriage, and teaching. How does one say good bye to a best friend? Her death was really hard on me, but I'm doing ok. taking it one day at a time, with hopes that someday I will see her again thanks to the blood of Jesus Christ, My Lord and Savior!
