Oh you go back and keep reading them until they become part of you so that you will never FORGET. Oh how those yellow highlighters can be a weapon when they underline those things of the past that you keep reading & reading & reading so that they become a part of you but not a good part.

I take a STEP that leads me in the right DIRECTION . I love walking in the right DIRECTION . And them something gets my attention that sets me in another   DIRECTION . And before you know it I am turned around, walking wobbly along a path that I don't like very much. And then I hear a voice, "This is the way, walk in it”   (Isaiah 30:21). And then I look to the right and then to the left and wonder if it is really GOD. For who would talk to you with such GRACE, without condem

BUT GOD makes it so easy when we choose to do it HIS WAY~ " From this moment on As for me and my house we will serve the LORD. We will never again listen to the voices that run contrary to THE WILL OF GOD or THE WORD OF GOD We will not react or respond to anything that wants to Rob our PEACE Kill our JOY or Destroy our GOD  ordained  PURPOSE . As for me and our house we will respond exclusively to THE WORD OF GOD & THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN JESUS NAME! AMEN" (Samuel Rodriguez). Oh

You ask GOD  a question. HE says YES.   HE opens the door for you to walk through. You are all excited, because you know GOD has said YES.   But then your circumstances change. And then DOUBT  comes knocking at your door. Did GOD REALLY SAY YES, when the going gets tough? Hmm. As I am in the middle of a blizzard in New Jersey, not sure when I will get back to Florida, for I have a women's event approaching. CONFUSION  and FRUSTRATION  are being birthed, which is bleeding DOUB

There she was. She SHOWED UP not expecting to have a conversation with anyone as she came at the time of day when no one else would be there. She SHOWED UP to draw some water and there HE was. HE just started the conversation that the woman never expected. “Will you give me a drink?” The Samaritan woman said to HIM, 'You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?' (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans). JESUS answered her, 'If you knew the

Do you ever  ASK yourself if you should BREATHE today? Think about it. Do your lungs need your permission before they allow you to BREATHE ? Think about it. Now while you are thinking about it I bet you are BREATHING! Does your HEART  need your permission to beat, beat, beat? Do you have to ASK yourself if you should BE ANXIOUS  today? Do you need permission to BE ANXIOUS ,  before you decide to BE ANXIOUS?   Think about it. And as you are thinking about it, I bet you are thi

My grandmother had such beautiful words of wisdom that are forever etched on my heart. But there was one saying that I would cringe as soon as she said it...  "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" Ugh~ PROCRASTINATION! Why do it now when I can do it tomorrow? What are you PROCRASTINATING  to do today? Is it the same thing that you have  PROCRASTINATED  to do from yesterday? Doesn't the sun  PROCRASTINATE when it could come out today, but doesn't come out until tomo

Today begins our 40 DAY "WEIGHT" LOSS JOURNEY, when we will LOSE A "POUND" A DAY! BUT  not the  POUNDS that you see on a scale.

Are you ready to LOSE  the weightiest pound, which is YOU! And it begins with FASTING from SELF, because YOUR "SELF" weighs you down. Think about it. When YOU "Trust in & rely confidently on SELF with

Food glorious food! We love it and we hate it. To say no to the cookie and yes to the apple. But didn't a yes to an apple get us all in trouble, way back in the very beginning when Eve said yes?  Oh the  TEMPTATION is real, because don't you want what you want when you want it, and once you have made up your mind no one is going to stop you. Oh the TEMPTATION  is real to eat the  FOODS  of ANGER, ANXIETY, BITTERNESS, JEALOUSY, & FEAR, and these are just the appetizers! What a
