Another year gone by so quickly. There are downfalls and accomplishments in every year depending on how we look at it that is. Did you get a new job or did you lose your job? Did you gain a member to your family, or did you lose someone very special ? Sometimes we don't understand when bad things happen. Sometimes we don't even want to. It can hurt so bad that we get depressed or angey or even angry at God. Don't worry if you do, He is a big God, and He can handle you. Most of all He can comfort you. He can take away the hurt in your heart. Believe it or not He can give you joy and take that pain or burden.
Everyone makes New Year resolutions every year. Most people don't keep them though. Can I give you one to try this new year? It will sound crazy to some, but can you try it. First of all if you feel like nothing ever goes right, and you are tired of trying to figure everything out yourself. Can I suggest you try giving your burdens to Jesus? I know you are saying, "How can I give this pain in my heart to something or someone I can't even see?" That sounds strange for some, especially if you don't know Jesus. Well, if you are sick and tired of how you feel and tired of trying so hard on your own...What do you have to lose??
There are many who know the wonders of Jesus without seeing Him, for He has worked in their life. I am one of them. If you don't know Him, here is what He says in Matthew 11:28-30, " Come to Me all you who are weiry and burdened, and I WILL give you rest. Take my yoke (strength) upon you and lean on Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you WILL find rest in your souls. My yoke is easy and my burden is light.
That sounds like a promise to me. If you don't know Jesus, just tell Him that you would like to get to know Him, "Even though you can't see Him."...He is there. John 20:29, Jesus says, to the deciples, because you have seen Me, you believed; But Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. He is talking about us here.
Start this new year by thanking the Lord for the good and the bad in this last year. He knows about the hard parts and He wants them to strengthen you. He wants us to learn to hand over the burdens as soon as they show up... then He can pour out His peace on you. It really really works.
FATHER~ I thank You for a wonderful year, for all good things come from You. I also thank You for any disappointments, any anger, fears, feelings of rejection, times of thinking I let You down, because all of this gives You a reason to come with Your precious Grace and Mercy and Forgiveness. It's then that You get the chance to stretch and strengthen our faith, and love us with Your Presence. I Love You Lord.

Book- Hearts Without Knowledge Blessings to my facebooks friends.... My Husband and I continually pray, "Thy will be done Lord, on earth as it is in Heaven." We only want to do what God wants us to do. God has so much that He needs for us to do. I think God has given so many people gifts or a calling, yet out of fear or just because life keeps them so busy they put them off or are afraid to pursue them. Yes, a call or a job that God wants done will be big and even over our head, but I know from our experience the only way to get it done is to lay the whole thing on the Lord and say "Father, I cannot do this... so You will have to do it through me." I know I have to take it one step at a time and not look at the whole thing at one time. If I do it overwhelms me.
If you don't know what the Lord wants you to do. Begin to pray for the answer. Until then listen to the pull of your heart. What do I mean? O.K. What areas of ministry are you drawn to. The homeless, the addicted, women who have been through abortions, orphans or abused children, or maybe visiting the elderly. Trust me, your heart will tell you. At least start there and see where God takes you.
Many people sit at home and listen to the devil whisper to them..."God could never use you, you have been or are too messed up." Well, he still tries to tell me that, but I know who I am through Christ. I am more than a conquerer through Christ Jesus. As you let the Lord order your steps every day, and as you serve somewhere, somehow, You will begin to see what God wants you to do. Just try it and you will see.
Now as for that lying devil... He may have power, But we have authority over his power. Last I heard, "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world." AMEN.
I pray blessings over each one reading. I pray that the Lord will begin to reveal new things to you. May you have visions, and dreams, but most of all peace in your life and love towards all.

God Can Use a Bird to Minister to You
Praise the Lord that God's mercy is new every morning. It never fails that as soon as you think you have arrived to some Spiritual place, God decides to throw a new thing on you. God made me a very visual person, and a cartoon head also, therefore I look for God in everything.
About five years ago when I was still single I bought a house that had lots of woods and it was very quiet. I would lay on the deck with my dog and cat. I would often hear this bird singing this beautiful song that I had never heard before. At this time I had more peace than I had ever had in my life. I think now alot of what I was feeling also was accomplishment after years of failure. I know it was o.k to feel that way, but I think the enemy (satan) can use our accomplishments to try to keep us in the past if we are not careful.
Now that I am married and my whole life has changed. I have great new memories and am very happy. Sometimes though when money is tight and times are tough I catch myself looking back at that old memory. The Lord showed me that memories are wonderful to have, but when we take ourselves back to them and draw off of the feelings we had then to fill an emptiness we have now, that it can hinder our walk spiritually. We can look back and say "that was a great time, but "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice & be glad in it."Psalms 118:24
This morning I was sitting on the deck very early. I heard a bird begin to sing this beautiful song over and over. As I listened to how beautiful it was I thought about the other bird and it's song and right then the Lord said, "This is a new song for new memories. Move forward and go from glory to glory so you can grasp the new season and all it's glory. Now you will be ready to move into every blessing you shall receive, because you will be watchful to receive instead of looking back.
I am so glad I have a Father in heaven, whom is my daddy who loves me enough to open my eyes to keep them on Him.
Going from Glory to Glory He showed me also includes from healing to healing, from joy to joy, and from peace to peace. Wow God is so good.
I pray Lord for whoever is reading this right now. May their eyes and ears be opened to see and hear You better. Love on them Lord and show them how to give to You all the hurts in their heart that they don't know how to let go of on their own. Jesus came to set the captives free. Blessings

Welcome & Praise God for this beautiful day
Hi everyone, Welcome to my blog. Don't ya know that everything is a learning experience. It is to me anyway. Now that this book is published the real work begins. It is exciting though to have all the technology online to make all we do easier and faster.
I want to start out by thanking all of my friends and family for supporting me in my book. Praise the Lord for friends and family. The truth is that the Holy Spirit led me through every page, every chapter and brought every scripture to my mind. I had no clue of how to write a book. All I know is that I have a passion for people to be free of the things that keep them from having a close relationship with God, with Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Spirit. I want the Lord to continue to use me to get the truth to so many that don't know the truth.
I know and you know it is all in the Bible. Everything we need to know is there. Ever heard of this one BIBLE=Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. get it?? We all know it is what we use to guide our lives, but sometimes God uses people & the mess they made in their lives to show others how real He really is. Then when they see Jesus on us after the fact it makes the Bible becomes more real & alive to them.
What are the things in our life that happens that keeps us from knowing Jesus personally? What are the things that constantly bombard your mind. Is it fear, or anger, or lust, or depression, or addiction of one kind or another? Do you know that this is probably the enemy pressing on your thoughts? Do you know who this enemy even is?
Praise God that He sent our Lord Jesus Christ to make a way to be free from all of these and to have peace like you have never known. How do I know?? I had them all, and He did it for me. I can tell you how to find this kind of peace and how to keep it. Blessings on all who read this.
