Staying on Track!

It is mid-January and I am trying very hard to stay on track with my new Decade Resolutions. Isn't it funny how every time you set your mind to accomplish something, the forces of nature seem to try and come against you. For instance, notice how the phone starts to ring when you are very busy working on something important. Or, when you are praying about something specific, distractions come raining down. Well, I am determined to stay on track. Even though I am taking baby steps, I plan to gradually pick up the pace. I am glad that I have God in my life to give me strength when I don't feel like there is enough time in the day to accomplish everything that I need to. All I have to remember is "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and "With Christ, all things are possible." After meditating on those two scriptures, I feel renewed. Be encouraged today - God loves us! Peace out.

Sunday, my favorite day of the week!

Hi All,

Yes, Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I love going to church with my family, serving in the church cafe, and hearing the message that God has for me every Sunday. Today was extra special because my husband and I went to brunch with two of our favorite pastors, Lowell & Evelyn White. They are a true blessing to our family and we love spending time with them. THEY ROCK! Today, my daughter Juana, gave me a quote that is very inspirational and I am going to savour it. She said "We are either worrying and not praying, or praying and not worrying". Well, I am choosing to PRAY AND NOT WORRY, because the bottom line is when we worry, we are choosing to distrust God. God tells us so many times in the Bible to trust in Him and have faith in Him. In fact, it is impossible to please Him without faith. Nothing is impossible for Him. So again, I am not worrying this year, or ever again. God has my back - Hallelujah!

P.S. Thank you Juana - You Rock too!

Getting into the new year groove!

Hello All!

We are well into the second week of 2010 and I am starting to get my groove on. Things are picking up and I have been busy trying to adjust with a new attitude, outlook and perspective on life. I heard a minister say that the number "10" means testimony. So, I am probably going to have a great testimony this year. I am praying that God would reveal and share with me what His plans are for me this year, and I am determined to be obedient in following His will for my life. Peace Out!

Happy New Year!

WOW 2010! It's the beginning of a new decade. So, I am not only going to make some new years resolutions, but I am going to make some new decade resolutions and goals. This is a first for me. I usually don't even make new years resolutions because I believe that the average person doesn't keep them anyway. Since I don't consider myself average (God's children are not average), I am going to step out of my comfort zone and start the decade off right. YES! Okay, here we go. 1. Get up earlier to spend time with God and seek Him first in every situation. 2. Try to be a blessing to everyone that I come in contact 3. Lose 10-15 pounds. 4. Rethink my career plans and pray hard for God's direction with this decision. 5. Anything else that comes into mind I am going to add to the list.

I pray that God will bless every person reading this blog.
