It's NOT Always As Bad As It Seems

When you face oppositions that make you feel like your life is falling apart, tell God THANK YOU! Sometimes God has to come in and wreck our so called lives so that He can change our condition and place us in position to receive what He has in store for us. It may seem like that walls of life are caving in on you, but God is allow trials and tribulations to put pressure on you to squeeze out the greatness that is inside you. God sees beyond that natural.

No matter what you have done in your life, God can use you for His glory. You wonder why some people just stopped talking to you, or turn against you for no apparent reason, don't worry about just tell God thank you! God has to take His hand and move people and things out our lives that He know we will not let go of on our own. So He orchestrate a plan to remove them for us. In order for us to be who God has called us to be, God has to remove somethings to make room for His deposit!

God wants to pour into us, but we are full of mess therefore He has to wash us in His blood and clean us up. I thank God for His faithfulness. He loves us when we don't love ourselves, He is faithful even when we are not faithful to Him, He keeps in times we don't want to be kept. God is an awesome God. So, when you feel like your life is falling apart, IT IS!

IT'S UNDER SPIRITUAL CONSTRUCTION AND ALMIGHTY GOD HAS CREATED THE BLUEPRINTS ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!!!! Let God do a new thing in your life today!!!!!

Peace be Still!!!!!!!

Jesus Calms the Storm
35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.

38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”

39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”

The Storm before the Peace

I looking for the positive... and that is with God all things are possible. So my prayer today is for mental emotional healing on all levels for my mother. She struggles each day with things that I know nothing about. I wish she were one of those mothers that could talk to her children about anything and everything, but the old hurts, wounds, scabs, etc that have caused her to put up a wall has left no room for that woman to exist.

I often ponder what would it be like to have that woman. Now don't get me wrong my mother is a great person. She is loving in her own way and generous to her family and others. But on the communication side (verbally at least). There is something to be desired.

I have prayed before for healing in communication and strength for a bonding relationship between my mother and I and I have felt a little better in the recent months about that. I have also moved... so is that was has made it better???? Anyway... I think i was praying for the wrong thing. My prayer tonight will be about the healing of my mother's emotional and spiritual well-being. For I believe it is this that will help to make our family united as one.

So I ask for help oh God... to give us strength as we battle this storm. I ask that you speak to the storm raging inside and tell it peace be still. Work not only within my mother but within all today Lord that need peace in an aspect of their emotional/mental well-being. Allow a breakthrough that will allow healing in many other areas oh God. I give you praise oh Lord for just allowing me to speak these words and ask for the healing. I thank you oh God for your diving blessing and for your grace and mercy. I ask these things in your darling son Jesus' name. AMEN.

April Challenges and CT Layouts!!!

2008-04-11T15:00:00.000-07:00

There are some great challenges going on around the community.

Today I completed one QP for ColorLineDesign April QP Exchange

What do you think... Don't you want to participate too... the QPs go out to all participants at the end of the month. Check it out ....HERE

Created a CT Layout using Silvia Romeo's Movie Lovers Kit today:

Like the kit I used... You can find the link to the kit in the post below!!!

I really like this layout because its one using my cousin's picture. I'm really thinking of getting it printed and framed because she struggles sometimes with her beauty and just being herself. Children are so cruel sometimes telling other children they are ugly cause they don't look like them. I'm hoping that this layout will serve a way to cheer her up.

Here's another CT Layout I created today. This one using Sharia Braxton's Junkyard Fun kit. This kit is great for those boy pictures, especially the ones where they have gotten down in the dirt.

Want this kit... Look at the next post... The link is there!

Thanks for looking at my layouts!

I didn't know it has been so long since my last post...

I'm a terrible blogger..

Oh I remember what happened now... My internet went completely out when I was attempting to do a new post a couple of weeks ago. I guess I got to busy to try that one again....

I'll try to do better in the future... the least I could do is post my new layouts that I create.

So That's what I'm going to begin doing. That and posting some of the photos that I have taken and want to showcase.

Well... I've got big news too... wanna hear about it????? Hehe (I'm probably talking to myself... but oh well) I'll tell tomorrow!!!!
