Out of the box!

Hey everyone,

If you are bursting at the seams, you have so much to say then there is work for you to do.
You say you are answering the call on your life, great.  If you honestly believe that God called you, you know that you know that you are following the path that He has laid out for you but things are changing.  Then you need to change with it.  You are bursting, God is saying lets go, there is more to do.
step on out, God got u!
take the unfamiliar road, God got u!
God got u!

train others and go forward

lead out of the box and others will follow 



 DON'T BOX GOD IN! YOU SERVE A BIG GOD! THERE IS WORK TO DO!

There should be no fear!  He was there with you when you answered and He will be with you when you go forward.  He is calling you to go forward.  He is closing and opening doors.  There is a season and a reason for all His purposes.

Pride aside!

Hey everyone,

As my previous blog states, we are called to stand out, to stand strong.  After all in Philippians 4:13 says we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us, in Hebrews 13:5  God says that He will never leave us nor forsake us and in Psalm 23:4 says when we are in the valley, God walks with us, His rod and His staff comfort us. 
Standing strong knowing that God will do what He says He will do! 


Praying continually!
Standing strong, pressing through but sometimes even though you are praying, trusting, you can crush and burn.  Faith in God is a powerful thing.  When Job's moments come, one after the other, you stand through one, you stand through two, you stand through three and then you start to scream.
 I honestly believe that if you don't reach out  to someone you will crush and burn. You need flesh and blood also if only to pray for you.
                                    
But we must not forget those that God put in our lives to help build us up, to nurture us.  We are not the only ones He uses.  He uses all who are willing. So lets us embrace ALL the help He provides!
If you are someone who is always encouraging others, always lifting up others it becomes very hard to admit that you need encouraging too, you need lifting up too.  I have to say its pride.  Proverbs 16:18 says that pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall, you can spiral out of control. Reach out! Give others the opportunity to encourage and lift you up!

SET APART!!!

Hey everyone,
Happy New Year 2013!!
Happy 52yrs birthday to me!!!  I thank God for considering me important enough to keep me here!  He has a purpose for my life and I know I am set apart!  Why?  Because of God's plan for my life and me embracing the path God set out for me!

When you are set apart you must not conform to this world but you must be transform by the renewing of your mind. You are chosen by God for special service.  Jesus called you out of darkness into His marvelous light because He not only has work for you to do but that He loves you and seek a relationship with you. You must stand out and accept the fact that you are set apart. 

Once you realize that God has called you unto Himself, study His Word so that you can show yourself approved or knowledgeable, that you will hide His word in your heart that you might not sin against Him, and that you will be prepared to teach by being a living example of God's plan.  We are called to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Just like Jeremiah,He set us apart before we were formed in the womb.  Sometimes we take the long road but God patiently waits for us because He knows the plans He has for us.


like this pineapple, don't be afraid to stand tall.  God called you to stand out

like this apple you might be the same size but you must shine brighter

like this umbrella, don't just open yourself up, burst on the scene like no other 

Allow God to use you! 
Matthew 5:16 -  "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

God show Your awesomeness through me!

God's Favor!!!!

Hey everyone,

I launched my website, www.joggingpoet.weebly.com last night and  I am so excited about it.
It is another tool that I can use to reach out.  Another tool to encourage others and help advance God's Kingdom.  It will also make it easier to purchase my books, Smoothies For The Soul and Honey Flowers.  These two books are also tools that will bless those who will allow themselves to receive.

I want to speak about about God's Favor!  How God will bless us, how He will put us in that place where we not only say that He is in control and is able but where we KNOW that He is because we have experienced His power.

Trusting Him and believing His every Word will shower His favor on us.  
Romans 8:28 says, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.

Because I have allow God to be first in my life, He has given me a life that I would never have dreamt about.  He have given me that abundant life that Jesus spoke about.  Job 10:12 says, Tho hast granted me life and favor, and Thy visitation hast preserve my spirit.

So now that I have relinquish my everything to God, He is smiling on me and my house with His awesome favor so I am now:
Calmness, knowing that God got me!!

Peace in midst of; calm waters among the rocks and overcast branches. 

  Psalm 5;12 says For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield.


Resting because I know that God knows what He is doing!!
