Words...

Say what you mean and mean what you say! Do what you intend and intend what you do!
I am constantly amazed at the world and it's power to mold a person! We are all given the opportunity to have God mold our life and he has all the power, but we do not always lean on him when we should. Sometimes we use the excuse "I had to get it off my chest" or "I just needed someone to talk to" or "that's just me, you'll get use to it"..... These are the times we should talk to God before anyone. God will check your spirit & it will ensure you don't say or write anything you may later regret. It's not worth it to have these excuses if it truly hurts someone or in any way negatively affects their spirit.  I for one have learned more in the past 5 years than in my entire life. You may receive forgiveness for something but you can never erase the damage it does. Why do we risk hurting someone or altering their relationship with not only us but God?? All so you can have your 2 sense out in the open? Sometimes it's better for us to bite our tongue. If you are going to voice your opinion, feelings or share your personal thoughts in any way shape or form, think before you speak (or type)! If you decide it's worth sharing then by all means share, but if you have to be vague or only say enough to raise questions then why say anything at all? What you see may not be what it actually is! My husband once said "absolute certainty is not always absolute accuracy". You may think you know that what you are about to share is 100% true, but do you really? Have you asked the right person? Even if it is true will it do good or positively affect someone for you to share?

My point is, if you are going to share something you better KNOW that it is 100% what you say it is otherwise you may unintentionally hurt someone. However, there are things that no matter how you twist... they are intentional to name a few we have, gossip, disrespect, judgement! Some things are just better left alone. Don't make a vague statement or have a conversation that leaves someone with more questions than information.

Our mind will play tricks on us and the devil doesn't help either, he will make you think people are only out to hurt you and bring you down, but the truth is most people only want to help & usually the biggest problem is looking at you in the mirror. If we get ourself out of the way & put God first we would be a whole lot better off. I pray for every person in my church daily, I pray for their families I don't know, I pray for my family that may not want me to pray :)

In Romans 14:16 it says "Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil." Which is why I stress again.....










Say what you MEAN & MEAN what you say! Do what you INTEND & INTEND what you do! 

What good comes of posting negative or personal things on the world wide web??? If you wouldn't stand in front of thousands of people and say it why would you post if for thousands of people to read? I do believe that we should be free to share our views & opinions but I do not believe we should do that if it will negatively affect someone else. I learned all of this a very long time ago, after being hurt, judged, accused & gossiped about. I only hope reading this will help others to think before acting! Love everyone and give your problems to God... not Twitter or Facebook.

I LOVE YOU FOR READING!

Fathomless Billows Of Love

On this day 12 years ago I lost my brother. I remember the sound of the voice on the other side of the phone telling us to come to the hospital. I remember being cold. I remember the sounds of the chaos around me. I remember the chair I sat in as I watched my mom try to be strong. I remember so many little details but mainly I remember the giant hole it left in my heart! Nothing can ever separate us from [God's]  love . ... I remember singing  Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! What does "Fathomless billows of love" even mean Fathomless means  something that can't be understood; a  billow  is like a cloud swelling because of a sudden surge. So...... as many times as I questioned God's presence, his love never failed. It comes in waves and blows into my soul in a way that I can't understand. It soothes just when I can't handle another blow. It embraces me when...

To Be A Pillar

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!...

The Young Minister's Wife, So Harshly Judged

A life lesson I had to learn the hard way was: IT'S OK TO SAY "NO" I am not backslid or a stuck up snob if I can't attend every Ladies Meeting and Youth Event in Georgia. At the stage of life I'm in, I have 2 small boys who need and deserve the majority of my time. Not to mention I am a Pastor's Wife/Music Director. They always come first and that sometimes means I have to decline an invitation.  It's unfortunate that it is said "She uses her kids as a crutch" or "She isn't in the altar praying for everyone, she's just in the back socializing" If you could really understand what a Ministers Wife with small children truly has to conquer in order to just be at an event we would give them gold stars and nothing but praise every chance we get.  I don't think we should walk on egg shells or take on more than we can handle because we are afraid of what everyone else thinks about us sitting with our children instea...
