Verse of The Day

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”- Romans 8:38-39

Although things come your way to distract you and draw you away from him, if you keep your eyes on God and love him all your heart then there is nothing that can take you away from him. Yes you may fail in your walk and come across some bumps but you just learn from them, get up, re adjust yourself, look forward and keep on going! I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a Uniquely awesome day. GOD BLESS.

Verse of the Day


Only a fool despises a parent's discipline; whoever learns from correction is wise.

Proverbs 15:5
 
This scripture goes well with the 5th commandment :“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you."
If you see GOD is very serious about Honoring your parents. Listening to them, loving them, following their rules. But also, you can look at it as GOD is our heavenly father and therefore we must obey him. We must read scripture and follow it and apply it to our daily lives so that we may be lead always in the right direction. So that we may be WISE! There is nothing in the bible that is meant to harm you. It is meant for you to prosper in life and in your walk with the Lord. I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a Uniquely Awesome Day. GOD BLESS!

VERSE OF THE DAY


Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.



Galatians 6:9
 
I know that at times you can feel weary and tired and sometimes in a bad mood and you dont feel like doing good. But the Scripture tells us "Let us not become weary...". Even though we get tired, lazy, or we are just not in the mood, that is when we must continue to push ourselves to do good with a cheerful heart. And in God's time we shall reap the harvest of our Good deeds. This may mean that something good will happen to us, we may receive something un expectantly, or we will see the rewards in Heaven! Which ever way it comes, I know I will be unworthy but it is because of GODS grace and mercy that I shall be more than grateful to receive it.  So don't ever lose heart to do good. Help those around you. Offer a helping hand. Helping doesnt always mean money is involved. It can be something as simple as holding the door for someone, helping someone push their car off the side of the road, help someone pick something up if the dropped it, it is the little things that count. And as the word says, "...for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Have a Uniquely Awesome day. GOD BLESS.

Light in the Darkness

As I sit here at work all alone in my office, I look outside and the gloominess that has taken over the skys has so quickly taken over me. I felt alone, cold, saddened. Memories of my past start to flash before me. People i have hurt I keep picturing in my mind and my heart feels their pain. My heart longs to Hold them and cry on their shoulders in regret and forgiveness. I feel my heart pound, my hands getting clamy, my throut getting tight and I can feel my pulse in my head.  I start to ask myself WHY! And a million questions start running through my mind. If ONLY.....I keep telling myself. I wonder of friendships that could have been. GREAT ones I can only Imagine. As my eyes swell with tears I take another glance outside at the gloominess that has taken over me. And to my suprise, for just a smidget of a second the gloominess turned to light. It was no longer dark outside because there was a hint of light! I wiped my eyes before a tear would fall and took another look and the light was gone. A smile came over me and I got up out of my seat went to the Window and looked up at the sky. And right then and there I knew! God is with me and I no longer need to sit in Darkness. Those who by sin were darkness, by grace become light in the Lord. Its only by Gods grace that we are forgiven and set free. Those friendships that are no longer, hurt, but are always in my prayers. And those friendships that could have been mine, may be needed more by someone else. So I thank God that he is the author of life and he directs my path. I will now smile in dark and laugh in the light. Tears will fall but thet will be tears of Joy and Laughter.

You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light. (2 Samuel 22:29 )

Therefore I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to your name. (2 Samuel 22:50)  AMEN!

Daniel Fast Day 5

Today is day five of the Daniel fast and I am still going strong! Tuesday I ate cucumbers with lemon and salt for brunch, and then we went grocery shopping at Fresh N Easy to buy some organic food. After that we went to my hudbands cousins house and him and his wife are also doing the daniel fast. She cooked some spaghetti using wheat pasta and added chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and a bunch of seasoning and it was SOOOO delicious! So healthy and soo delicious! Then after working out we munched on some cucumbers and oranges. Then on Wednesday I ate an orange for breakfast and I went to Flame Broiler and bought a bowl of brown rice and steamed veggies. And for Dinner I made a pot of Vegetable soup. I cut up onions, tomatoes, zuccini, potatoes, carrots and cabbage and added water to boil. Then I also added in some organic vegetable broth. Once it was just about done I added salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder and then squeezed some lemon juice in it and bam it was finished. This is the first time I have ever made anything like this but it was just like homemade Chicken soup without the chicken. It was very good. For an after dinner snack I ate whole wheat and grain cereal with soy milk. Today I ate some Watermelon for Breakfast and Then I brought some left over Veggie Soup That I will eat for lunch and then I brought an Orange I will eat for a snack a couple hours after lunch. I will blog tomorrow about what I decided to make for Dinner. I also continue to pray through out the day and then take time to really seek God. I read my bible no less than once a day. My Husband has really been seeking God and his prayers are already being answered. PRAISE GOD! I look forward to see what God has planned for our lives. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Have a blessed day. GOD BLESS.

CAFFEINE!

So I am here at work with an excrutiating headache! And the type of headache I have is called a Caffeine headache!!!! Just Brutal! I dont ever wish this on anyone. What basicallyt happens is when you drink caffeine alot (and I mean like everyday like cups and cups of it) and then you try to stop drinking it completely, oh man thats when you get the caffeine headaches! It's like your body cannot function with out it. Its so used to having it be an every day part of your life that when you dont have it, Your body lets you know IT NEEDS IT! Sounds horrible I know but atleast its not drugs or something worse.
Well this got me thinking, How much longer will the headach last? Will it go away if I just drink a can of Pepsi? And then I started comparing this to my everyday life. What happens when we take God out of our lives? Do we get headaches? or worse? Chaos in our lives? Does our body tell us that we need Him? Will we be satisfyed with just a taste of Christ or will we need to constantly fill ourselves with more of him daily? Will all Chaos in our lives go away when we do?

Then this scripture came to me, "I am the vine; you are the branches," said Jesus. "If a man abides in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)


It all makes sence! Without Christ in our lives we are nothing. We are just as unfunctionable as someone without caffeine with a huge caffeine headache! We need to always have Christ in our lives daily and we will bear much fruit!
