Great News Must Read! What a Blessing!

  • Mood:
I just wanted to tell you the blessing I have received. Well, for over
2 years I have been praying to God that he blesses me with a job that
I will love and enjoy doing. I wanted to do something that would make
God proud of me and I would be serving him. After many job interviews
and turning down jobs because they conflict with school, God made a
way. It's funny how he went about, one small step at a time. First I
start school in New Orleans, LA for graphic design, then Katrina hit
so I move to Fort Worth, Tx to finish school. Also because of the
little job at the PGA tours golf course that I was only at for a week
until the Hurricane hit. They gave me a great reference and because of
that David and I was able to get an apartment five minutes away from
school. It just so happened that the school here in Fort Worth gives
job leads and one of those leads was for a company called ABBA; a
christian staffing company! What are the odds. SO, they hire me to
start working for DayStar, the Christian Television Network, March 22
LOL! How about that! It is for only 2 weeks to do customer service,
answering phones, taking prayer requests, take donations and praying
with people for their Annual Sharethon. Well, God answers my prayer
once again. I received a phone call today for me to come in Monday to
start working instead. They feel I would do great working in their
quality control department, full-time and I will still be able to
attend school!!!!!!!!!

Remember, when you trust in God and pray to Him, he will make a
way--More then one way!!

sorry, if there are any typos. LOL!

It's been a Long Time!

It's been a while since I posted a message. With God's help I have been readjusting to being in a new town. After Hurricane Katrina things have been all over the place. Getting back in school, finding a job, and finding a daycare that doesn't ask me to pay my whole paycheck to them each week.
Praise the Lord, He worked it out again and answered my prayers. Since I am starting a new quarter at school I was able to change my schedule to attend school at night and now I can home school Kaelah. I can’t wait, we start this coming Monday. I am also happy that I have been hanging out more with one of my classmates from school. She has been asking about attending church with my family and me. We will be going to bible study this week together.

I have downloaded on my Mac iBook a bible study devotional. I have been able to do devotion just about every morning. I am praying it will be apart of me to where it feels like I am missing something if I don’t do the devotional.

I pray to God that he just continue to help me stay focused on Him and the plans He has for me. Sometimes I tend to fall off track. Taking care of my husband and daughter, doing project for school I sometime lose myself.

God I pray you continue to guide me!

Here is a question some posted and my response:

Why is christianity considered the right religion? All of western society is based on it. Holy wars have killed more people than world war one or two. Not just christianity but their the ones I’m going to focus on. Christianity bullied people into believing in their faith. Now its everywhere, from marriage to taxes. You cant turn around in western culture with out seeing something that was influenced in one way or another by Christianity. Why is it so important to us and why should I follow its beliefs and religious aspects?

People are born sinners, wanting to rebel, because of that people want to fight God. When you know something to be true you want to share it, that is what Christians do, share the good news. No one should ever be bullied, God gave us free will and the ability to choose. Like any normal person you don’t want to force someone to love you, you want them to love you freely. That is the same thing with God.
With humans you don’t fall in love with someone until you get to know them and just with God, He wants you to get to know him. And the only way is by reading the bible, (you wouldn’t pick it up if someone didn’t tell you about him). Because of that God has command we spread the word.

There is a story of this little boy who was looking at the heater in his living room. His dad walked past, stopped and told his son not to touch it because it was hot and would burn him. The son said okay dad i wont. Okay, the boy believed his dad, but after sitting there for a while, you know boys will be boys. He decided to touch it anyway. He reached out to touch it and would you believe he burned is hand.

The point of the story is There is a God, some believe and some don’t. Believing is’t the only thing! (My teacher said once even demons believe in God.) It’s about knowing and experiencing. The little boy who touched the heater believed it was hot but until he reached out to touch it and got burnt did he KNOW it was hot. The same thing applies to humans. It takes some one to tell us about God, then we may decided to believe but your not saved until you reach out to God and experience God. You find the truth, we find peace, love, joy and so much more. I feel sad for those who don’t know and haven’t experienced the Love of God. I pray this respond was helpful, please let me know.

Condition-Less Love


Where to start; let me see…Two entries ago I was talking about my step mom and how she felt about me. Well, never before was there a person I could say I hated until my step mom. It’s not like she had me cleaning floors with a toothbrush. I guess it was the fact she disliked me so much and showed it. You know what they say, “you should be careful what you tell children.” Okay I don’t know if that is a saying but it should be. One time when my mom was upset she blurted out some major information about my step mom that made her look like the devils daughter. I know that is mean to say but it’s true. From then on I judged her and that wasn’t fare. But at the time I didn’t know any better.

We would walk around the house not speaking to each other and when we did talk it was so fake. It was eating me up inside to have such negative feeling for someone; I hated going home. Once again what took away that hatred and miss understanding was God and His Word. How about that, God taught me something at bible study, LOL, I love it when God does that. My pastor decided to teach on the subject of Loving God.

1 John 2:9-11
If we claim to be in the light and hate someone, we are still in the dark. But if we love others, we are in the light, and we don't cause problems for them. If we hate others, we are living and walking in the dark. We don't know where we are going, because we can't see in the dark.

1 John 4:16
God is love. If we continue loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us.

Okay these are the verses that really hit me hard!

1 John 4:19-21

We love each other as a result of his loving us first.

If someone says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we have not seen? And God himself has commanded that we must love not only him but our Christian brothers and sisters, too.


I really wanted to grow my relationship with God, not risk it. Right after bible study I went up to her and gave her a hug. It wasn’t a fake hug; it was real. I held her tight, and prayed to God right then and there to help me love her in spite of. So for a long time I was researching the word love in the bible and praying to God to help me love the way He does. Over time it all came together, understanding was the key. I realized that she was a person that had gone through something in her life. Like my mom, sister, and every other human on earth she has a past that formed her character.  Even though I may not like her character doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve to be loved. There may be someone who doesn’t like mine. I begun to believe if I could love her condition-less then maybe she could feed off of that and love me the same. Guess what you guys it worked! We may not have turned out to be mother and daughter or best friends, but we did end up loving each other in spite of the situation or personality. I love her for who she is and is not. I understand now; I love everyone; even those I don’t know because everyone is someone who needs to be love. Maybe they are mean, nasty, evil or heartless because they weren’t loved as a child. If I can love God without ever seeing him why can’t I love those I haven’t seen yet on earth. I know I may sound crazy but that’s just a tiny bit I learned about God and His type of love. It would take pages to tell all I learned about love.

Grace and Peace to All That Reads This Entry!

My Birthday Gifts

  • Mood:





Hello Everyone, I have to tell you; my birthday was wonderful! 4:30am my mom called from New Orleans (Metairie), La to wish me a happy birthday. I was sad because she is there all by herself. But she told me something that was calming to my soul. My mom said she isn’t alone GOD is with her. I started crying, tears of joy of course. After she called I never went back to sleep, her call was the greatest gift I could have gotten. I thank God because I am satisfied with my life. My contentment was my gift from God.

My gift from my daughter was the sweetest words. While I was getting ready for school she came in the bathroom, looked at me and said, “Your Beautiful Mommy”. (Yes she is 3 yrs old) There goes the tears of joy once more! LOL!

Later to night when I checked my Journal comments, Carolyn said how she is going to start reading her Teen Bible her mom gave her starting New Years. That really made me happy. ~Thank You Carolyn for another gift~ I left a comment on her journal saying this:

Hi Carolyn, I'm so glad you stopped by my journal. I am excited for you. I hope you enjoy reading the bible. I remember I felt the same way about the King James Version of the bible. I was so happy when my Pastor gave me the Contemporary version. The most important thing I learned from reading the Bible is that it's all about Love. God created the world out of love and He love us in spite of what we do. The greatest commandment is Luke 10:27
`Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind.' They also say, `Love your neighbors as much as you love yourself. You know why I love those two commandments? It covers all of the commandments in the bible. If you think about it if you love the Lord you wouldn't sin. Just like with any other parent they tell us to do something for your own good, so we wont get hurt. Like how God says you should be with only your spouse. If us humans would have listened to our father God there wouldn't be AIDs, unwanted pregnancies and broken hearts, God knew what he was telling us. He didn't want his children to get hurt. Love your neighbors as much as you love yourself. That covers ever commandment because if we did that we wouldn't hurt each other so much, lieing, cheating, Killing. (Boy I tell you I can't wait to get to heaven)LOL! You know I am proud of you it takes a strong teen to take steps towards God. I pray God blesses you in all that you do. Grace and peace be with you!

- "God is Love" (1 John 4:


I also wanted to say thank you to all that wished me a happy birthday. It was truly bless to hear from you all. I pray God bless you guys for blessing me on my birthday.

Grace and Peace to all!

Heart 2 Heart

  • Mood:
Well, I last left off with how my curiosity started with knowing GOD. Now I would love to tell you of my first heart to heart with the Lord. It had been a couple of months living with my dad and it was okay, yet very uncomfortable. It became a great opportunity for my dad and I to build a relationship but the closer we got the madder his wife got towards me. I was already an insecure teen; therefore to have someone out right dislike me tore me up inside.

One day there was a big blow up in the house to where my step mom made it known to my father she no longer wanted me there. They didn’t know I was listening; I would love to think if she knew I was there listening she wouldn’t have blurted out such harsh things. My dad came in my room after their argument to tell me he loved me and that his wife was just jealous of our new relationship. After he left I broke down and cried for about 20mins. It was like all the past months of rejection and pain had caught up with me. I begun to remember all I learned in bible study. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him.”
So I fell to the ground and begun talking to God because he was my only hope! I told Him how I didn’t know if I could make it, how I was new to this whole relationship with Him, and that I wasn’t sure if I was saying the right things but I needed Him to set me free from pain and bring me joy, love and peace.

That prayer brought me so much comfort inside. After that prayer I began to hear the Lords voice. His gentle guidance surrounded me from there on. Even though I was new to the whole Christian experience I didn’t really have a true experience until I opened up the bridge of communication with the Lord. Don’t get me wrong I would say grace at the dinner and say a prayer at night before I would go to bed. But that prayer was different, I showed true faith in God by offering my life, and depending on Him. I really believe it was at that time I got saved because God and I begun our relationship.

I believe it is true; Romans 10:17, “No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ.” I would have never fell to my knees if I didn’t know that God loved me and wanted to help me. The only reason I knew truth was because of the bible and I thank God for the bible. I would never have had the heart to heart with my Lord that changed my life!
