Hello Beloved,
I was just reading in Matthew this morning , Chapter 6 . When it occurred to me that when
I hear people pray or I pray we do sound like the hypocrites. So I went on further down in the
chapter and was reading v. 7, use NOT vain repetitions....... that is what I usually hear when
I listen to others pray.. So in v.9; it starts the Lord' Prayer:
"" Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.."""
This should be where we worship our Father. We should tell Him that we know who He is,
how much we love Him.. We can do this in song, with words of love, praise. What can you think of to do to worship our Father?
"""Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.""""
This is loyalty. This is where we tell Him that we want His will in our life... Where we live out
our prayers of faith..
""" Give us this day our daily bread."""
This is where we ask . Ask? Yes, we ask for what ever we need.. Ask according to the Word of God.
"""" And forgive us our debts , as we forgive our debtors.""""
This is where we forgive all who have done something to us.. We then ask for the same forgiveness for ourselves.. So if we want to be forgiven with mercy, we should have mercy towards others when they ask for forgiveness.
"""" And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.""""
This is where we ask for deliverance from what is a stronghold in our life. So we can live our
life the way God wants us too.. What is your stronghold?
""""For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever."""
This is just another way to worship. so we start we worship and we end with worship.
We are just letting God know that we love Him and want to obey Him in ALL of what we do..
"""""""""" Amen""""""""""
So be it... That is what the word Amen means... So be it or Let it be so.... We are just telling God
that we are asking and that we want it to be so... So when we pray we should be very careful
what we are praying about....
God's way is the perfect way. We should be striving towards the perfect way everyday... God knew us before we were...Psalms 139. So, I don't think we are a surprise to Him...
I struggle everyday with all of this, how about you? I pray that together , you and I can
help each other strive towards the perfect way of God.
Please remember to Smile today, you are the most beautiful when you do....
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you.... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Left Behind? Not Me!!
Hello Beloved,
I have been watching the Left Behind movies.. They make me think. Do you ever think about
what might happen if you are left behind? What about some of your loved ones? Time is getting so short. When are we going to tell EVERYONE we meet about Jesus Christ and what He did for us at Calvary? Do you watch the TV news? Read newspapers or news magazines? Everyone, everywhere in the world is talking about this or thinking about this... I just wonder WHAT they are thinking. Have you ever wondered what God wants from you? So many questions, now I need to find the answers , huh?
What does God want from me? I believe He wants full commitment. FULL. Like in everything we do. Our private life as well as our public life... You know the part we try to keep to ourselves;
thoughts , actions, our deeds, worries, the sad as well as the happy .. He wants us to trust Him. Do you? He wants us to love Him. Do we? Are we conditional in our love? He was not conditional in His love for you... He knew before, yes, BEFORE, what we were going to be doing and He died for ALL of us anyway!! Do you have faith? In Hebrews 11:1-40 you see the word faith 23 times
and faithful 1 time.. That is why it is called the " Faith " chapter. Look at the names in this chapter and the reasons.... These were real people, just like you and me.. the first verse says"
" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen."
So, what are you hoping for? What is the evidence you are looking for and not seeing?
I see evidence of a returning Christ Jesus all around me... Do you? Earthquakes, sea sorrows, ( hurricanes, cyclones, underwater earthquakes, tsunami's ) economies failing, government's falling, do you see what I am talking about here? I have faith that Jesus Christ will keep His Word and return soon... I am asking each one who reads this ........ ARE YOU READY? DO YOU WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND ? If you do not want to be left and you are not ready , would you let me help you get ready? It is so simple.. Knock, knock, . Well ,are you ready to answer that knock? I believe it is Jesus knocking at the door of your heart... Ready to let Him in?
Dear Lord Jesus, please come into my heart today and please forgive me of all of my sins... I accept you into my life and want to do your will ... In Jesus name.. Amen.
Now that was pretty simple wasn't it? Now, find a good Bible based church and read the Word daily and pray everyday and be quiet and listen to God talk to you... Thank you for choosing to become a new brother/ sister ... I love a big family...
Smile: you are the most beautiful when you do.... with arms wrapped tenderly around you...
your new sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Are You Doing Enough?
Hello Beloved,
I just want to ask you if you are ready should Jesus come today? What about all your loved ones, are they ready? What about the mail person, the clerk at your favorite store, have you spoken to them about Jesus? Who else have you to talk to? Is it really all that important to you to have them with you for eternity? Do you believe in eternity? Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
John 1:14 " And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. KJV
How much longer do you think we have to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Are you doing your part to spread it? What can we do ? Go from door to door, talk to the person in line behind or even before us? What about the waiter or waitress, the one who cuts your hair? See that stranger over there, what about them? Oh, there are so many , many people we can talk to. Are you doing your share?
In Hebrews 10:25 " Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. "
We are to be about our Father's business... God is our Father..... and we should be doing what He wants us to do... What IS the commandment we are to follow?? Well, lets look at Matthew 23: 37 -40 . Please look these up and read them... I will just paraphrase here... #1. Love God with all your heart, soul and mind.#2 Love your neighbor as yourself. Yes? next ? would be , who is thy neighbor? You neighbor is the one to whom you are standing next too, here at home or anywhere you would travel. They would be your neighbor.. Does color , sex, religion, nationality, age or anything else matter? No, I don't think so.... We are to love period. Jesus loves us period.
We can choose to love Him back or turn our back on Him.... I sincerely hope you will chose to love Him back. Please go and find someone today to share the love of Jesus Christ with... You will be so much happier if you do....
Remember: Smile, someone needs it today and you are the most beautiful when you do.. Tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Proverbs One
Hello Beloved,
Today I will be quoting from The Children's Living Bible. It will be from Proverbs 1:20-33
"" Wisdom shouts in the streets for a hearing. She calls out to the crowds along Main Street,
and to the judges in their courts, and to everyone in all the land: You simpletons ! she cries.
How long will you go on being fools? How long will you scoff at wisdom and fight the facts? Come here and listen to me ! I'll pour out the spirit of wisdom upon you, and make you wise.
I have called you so often but still you won't come. I have pleaded, but all in vain. for you have spurned my counsel and reproof. Some day you'll be in trouble and I'll laugh ! Mock me, will you?___ I'll mock you ! When a storm of terror surrounds you, and when you are engulfed by anguish and distress, then I will not answer your cry for help. It will be too late though you search for me ever so anxiously.
For you closed your eyes to the facts and did not choose to reverence and trust the Lord, and you turned your back on me, spurning my advice. That is why you must eat the bitter fruit of having your own way, and experience the full terror of the pathway you have chosen. For you turned away from me___to death: your own complacency will kill you. Fools ! But all who listen to me shall live in peace and safety, unafraid. "
How many of us have had wisdom call on us , and we ignored her? How we have had to go down the same old pathway of our own choosing. My sister told me many, many years ago to read
Proverbs a chapter a day every single month .. I did too for a few months... and then I stopped. I have made the decision to start doing that again.. I, like so many have made unwise choices in my life and I think I am at a renewing in my life... I hope that this opens someone elses eyes as it has mine...
Smile today, someone needs it and you are the most beautiful when you do.
God Bless each one of you today. your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

What is in between your (-) dash?
Hello Beloved,
I heard a young man give a talk in church and what he said touched my heart...I hope what is
here on this page will touch yours.
One of the things he said was" What are you hiding'? " What struggle are you going through?"
Can you make a list and then ask God about it and keep trying and asking? How many steps does it take? These and many others things were touched upon in his talk.. He sounded like a
young man in the know. You can listen to him at www.sermon.net/GMM Look for 4-10-11 date and Nick Miller. It is worth the time to hear this young man talk...
I went back to the scripture he read in his talk... Jeremiah 29:11. I stopped at that one...
This is what I wrote as I was reading the scripture..
Jeremiah 29:11
PEACE. Peace of who I am , what I am , where I am, not for who I think I should be , but who God intended me to be... Peace for those around me.. It seems like the ones who can hurt you the most are the ones you love the most... Now, we all know that is true. Then I ask myself ,
what are you hiding? Am I hiding a bright light from God? It is because I think in the natural?
Just think !!!!!!! God has thoughts towards YOU! WOW!!!! I found that to be amazing... The
Creator God of the whole EVERYTHING has thoughts about me. It is right there in Jeremiah
29:11. Please go and get your bible and read for yourself.. God wants me and you to have peace .. He doesn't want us to have all the junk we have collected... He does not want evil in our life but peace. God wants to give us an expected end... Now watch the words expected______
end.. What is the _____ in between ? What is on that line of your life? It is just a little line right? So what is on yours? It is sorta like what is the dash in your life span... ie:
1915-1998 what went on between those years the " dash " ? You can have a evil end or a good end. Which is the one you will choose?
Smile today , someone is waiting to see it.. You are the most beautiful when you smile..
God Bless and have a GREAT - ( Dash) !! With the love of Christ Jesus , your sister in Christ vickie

Prayer
Hello Beloved,
Oh , how I have missed you... I pray that all is well in your world....
My sister sent me a book to read and as I read it I want to share with you some of the things I have read.. The book is by Charles Capps and is called THE TONGUE ( A CREATIVE FORCE)
The part I read today is " Sickness a curse" He used Galatians3:13,14 and Deuteronomy 28:61
to come to this ... PLEASE read the scriptures.....
Now for what he said..
I am the Body of Christ, I am redeemed from the curse and I forbid any sickness or disease to operate in this body. Every organ , every tissue of this body functions in the perfection to which God created it to function... Every organ, ever tissue will function properly... for greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1John 4:4
Now if we speak the words out loud and we believe the words we speak, it should happen..
It does if we speak in the negative and it does if we speak in the positive. So why speak in the
negative? I have far to many times... well time's up.. Now to speak in the positive.
Remember : Smile today someone needs it.. and it is a free gift from God to you to share with others.... God Bless and have a great day with Jesus Christ our Lord.

Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord
Hello Beloved, We had a visiting Preacher in our church services last night... He did a outstanding job. He was in the book of JOB. I have never heard much about Job from any other preacher... I have read of course the book of Job on my own.. It was a really great preaching time, for me. I have been on a roller coaster ride in my mind and spirit for sometime and this preacher seemed to say all the things I needed to hear... I can just never get over how God's word seems to affect you like that... You can hear the same thing from two different people but when God is really in it , it just seems to hit home.. Know what I mean? Job :1:20-22 , not alot of words, but, oh, so much impact. I will write it out here so you can see what I mean. Job 1:20-22 ( KJV) 20: Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground and worshipped, 21: And said: Naked came I out of my mother's womb, And naked shall I return thither: The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD. 22: In all of this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. I am still in a learning process here. I do not know everything. I have really just opened my mind up to receive what God is trying to tell US. " Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither." Job said that.. but you and I can say that too... we are really no different then Job.. and we can also say what Job did next too... " The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away" What ever you think is yours, really isn't ... whatever you think you have done, you really haven't. The Lord gave us everything,,,, yes, He did.. He gave us , life, our mind, body, and soul. So what we have He gave us.... and it is really His to take away. We can all agree on that I hope. When things are going good and we have no problems we can say" Blessed be the name of the Lord. But, here is the clincher, Can you say that when things are piling up and not going your way . What about when you have multiple deaths, lose your income, and also your material things, can you then say like Job did," BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD" ? This is where the rubber meets the road folks... I had to take a deep breath because I have been failing in the Praise and Worship of my Savior... I can ask no one to help me but the one who has Created and gave me Life....... I am going to be trying to do this each and every day for the rest of my life.. I want to... I don't have to. but I want to .. I want to Bless the Lord with what He GAVE me and that is my Praise.... Like I said this was a good service last night.. Watch what you say out loud, your ears hear, and your heart reacts.... I want my heart to be reacting to God and the Word He GAVE us... How bout you? Smile: it is your free gift from God to share with others..... With arms tenderly wrapped about you..... your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie

What God Can do: My Testimony
Hello Beloved,
I want to tell you about what God can do for you.. If you have read any of this blog, then you will
know that I have been on a journey with God for some time now... It has not always been a easy
one but it has been a worthwhile one.. I fall more deeply in love with my Creator and Savior everyday.. While some of those around me may think I have not. Even on the days when it appears I haven't I am... I have learned so much about Him and myself.. So, today I would like
to tell you some of what I have learned. I promise it is worth reading about...
As a small child I learned about God in Sunday School... I still think this is an important part of
a child's life... ( I hope you are sending or better yet taking your child or children to Sunday School) One of the verse's that I learned really young was John 3:16. We all know that verse
" For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotton son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have
everlasting life." I have always since learning this ,loved this verse the best.. Why? Well , because I have most of my life looked down on myself... in this scripture it says "" WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH" . Well I have always thought I did... Now, when you believe something you are usually acting upon it, correct? Well, I didn't start acting upon it in my mind til recently.. I have lived my whole life believing but not acting ... and yes, I think it makes a difference.
Jump forward now, many, many years ahead... I fell in my bathtub in 2007 and that was the pivotal point in my testimony here... I had lived so many years in a dark depression and felt that there was no way out except to end my own life... The day I made that decision is the day I fell in the bathtub. Coincidence? I don't think so . I think we are all born with a purpose in God. Scripture says in Jeremiah 1:5 " Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee."
So I believe the fall was something used to wake me up. Not saying God caused me to fall, just saying it was something used to wake me up.
Wake me up it did. I used the time it took for me to heal to get into a closer relationship with God.. I had to to think on Him day and night and I read and read trying so hard to learn.... I still have had many trials during this time but I awoke this morning with something new in my mind, and that is what I would like to talk to you about now..
God loves me so much that even when I am down and out He takes care of me...
After the fall in the bathtub, I went back to work and worked for about 10 months and lost my job. For a couple of months I was OK , sorta. I had a daily Bible study with a few friends and then reality set in and I didn't have a job anymore... That was pretty scary business, let me tell you..
In 2008, just about 8 months after I fell, my husband was hurt in an accident. He was off work for over 3 months and on very restricted work after that. In May, 2009, he lost his job also... now we are down to living on savings and it was pretty much a horror story. I finally found work as a janitor after hours . And I am grateful for the job.... It has helped us to stay afloat. Since losing our jobs there has not been a month go by where we couldn't pay our bills and still eat out occasionally.. I sure didn't make enough each month to pay the bills.. and the savings was not much to start with.. NOW, I am going to tell you what I think , NO, what I know has happened.
During all this period we still were faithful to God,, We paid our tithes and made offerings and we honored God.... I know that during all this time that God saw that and he kept us through....I am so excited to tell you that through this time we had still had house payments and on each month we have paid extra payments and in April we will make the last payment on our house.... That is just a huge big thing!!!! And it will be paid off almost 3 years EARLY!!! That my Beloved is God. We would never have been able to do this if we had not been faithful to God...
So, I guess I am saying to you all that honoring God everyday and doing what He says do..( His Word, the Bible) is the way to go... Yes, you will make mistakes and have to pick up again many times but it is so worth the journey... That is my testimony of what God can do.. at least for today... Smile: It is a free gift from God to you for you to share with all you meet...
God Bless you all today ... Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus.

Jump forward now, many, many years ahead... I fell in my bathtub in 2007 and that was the pivotal point in my testimony here... I had lived so many years in a dark depression and felt that there was no way out except to end my own life... The day I made that decision is the day I fell in the bathtub. Coincidence? I don't think so . I think we are all born with a purpose in God. Scripture says in Jeremiah 1:5 " Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee."
So I believe the fall was something used to wake me up. Not saying God caused me to fall, just saying it was something used to wake me up.
Wake me up it did. I used the time it took for me to heal to get into a closer relationship with God.. I had to to think on Him day and night and I read and read trying so hard to learn.... I still have had many trials during this time but I awoke this morning with something new in my mind, and that is what I would like to talk to you about now..
God loves me so much that even when I am down and out He takes care of me...
After the fall in the bathtub, I went back to work and worked for about 10 months and lost my job. For a couple of months I was OK , sorta. I had a daily Bible study with a few friends and then reality set in and I didn't have a job anymore... That was pretty scary business, let me tell you..
In 2008, just about 8 months after I fell, my husband was hurt in an accident. He was off work for over 3 months and on very restricted work after that. In May, 2009, he lost his job also... now we are down to living on savings and it was pretty much a horror story. I finally found work as a janitor after hours . And I am grateful for the job.... It has helped us to stay afloat. Since losing our jobs there has not been a month go by where we couldn't pay our bills and still eat out occasionally.. I sure didn't make enough each month to pay the bills.. and the savings was not much to start with.. NOW, I am going to tell you what I think , NO, what I know has happened.
During all this period we still were faithful to God,, We paid our tithes and made offerings and we honored God.... I know that during all this time that God saw that and he kept us through....I am so excited to tell you that through this time we had still had house payments and on each month we have paid extra payments and in April we will make the last payment on our house.... That is just a huge big thing!!!! And it will be paid off almost 3 years EARLY!!! That my Beloved is God. We would never have been able to do this if we had not been faithful to God...
So, I guess I am saying to you all that honoring God everyday and doing what He says do..( His Word, the Bible) is the way to go... Yes, you will make mistakes and have to pick up again many times but it is so worth the journey... That is my testimony of what God can do.. at least for today...

God Bless you all today ... Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus.

Ice Storm 2011
Hello Beloved,
Well here it is February 2,2011, Groundhog Day.. From what I have been told, " Ole Phil" did
not see his shadow... I think it might have been because for the last few days the whole country
has been under a very major storm system. Covering over 35 states and 2100 miles.. Now
that is pretty major. Snow, ice, wind, freezing rain, tornado's , lightening, thunder and very
poor conditions on the roads, airlines cancelled. School closings, business closed, people keep
home except for emergency personal.. Reminds some of us of the Blizzard of 1978.
Some of the more serious downfalls from this storm are the people who live in rural parts of the county, or the elderly who have no one to call upon to help them out and they try to do for themselves and then they fall and break something. People trying to get to the hospital to have
their baby or see a loved one who was hurt in an accident... So many different things to go
wrong in this kind of storm, power out , no heat, no lights, water freezes, ect....
It has been a dangerous storm and here in the mid-west not as bad as in the North or to our East... And through it all we still have to Praise God and thank Him for all of His blessings..
As I get older I find it easier and easier to say thank you for all I have been through or am going
through.... I need to remember to thank God for the new storms that are brewing and coming our way soon..... I am praying that you will be warm and safe and leave you now so you can go and Praise God for your blessings. This will be a winter that all will remember for years to come..
Remember to Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with others.... Tenderly with
arms wrapped about you.... Your sister in Christ Jesus...... vickie

New Book, Dug Down Deep
Hello Beloved,
I just started reading a new book, titled: Dug Down Deep by Joshua Harris.
It is going to be a good teaching book, at least for me.... I have just finished the first two chapters.
Theology- study of the nature of God, who He is and how He acts.
What we know about God , affects every part of our life.
God is real. He acted in our world and His actions have meaning today and for all eternity.
Jesus built his house on the Rock. ( Yes, I know Jesus is the the Rock) It takes time , effort, and work to build on the Rock.
You need to know God, His character and attributes, so you can have a relationship with our
Creator and Redeemer.
Find someone you want to be like an sit at their feet. ( mentor)
You have to work at it everyday of your life.
A important part of caring for and cultivating a relationship involves willingness to learn, character and personality, likes and dislikes..
They describe a living person whom I love. Facts can never take the place , but you can't know them without them.
Doctrine is the meaning of the story God is writing in the world. It's the explanation of what he's done and why He's done it and why it matters to you and me.
Firsthand knowledge of God' character and love is the only thing that can hold us. It is joy and humility.
This is what I have picked up from the first couple of chapters... I will study them and then I will finish the book....
I hope to fill in on some of the thoughts here as I go along... Hope you are up for the ride! ( smile)]
Remember to Smile; It is a gift form God to you, for you to share with others..

God Is In The Little Things
Hello Beloved,
Well here it is another cold and cloudy day out.. What a GREAT day to be inside where you
can spend time with Jesus!! I love doing that. Well, just wanted to talk to you a little bit .
Yesterday I had some errands to run after I did my morning Bible study.... and I cleaned house some and just stayed busy most of the day.. But, around mid-afternoon I was so tired... I decided to lie down for 20-30 minutes.. I said out loud now I can only lay here a short time because school will be out in 30-35 minutes... so I laid down and I was just getting warm and
toasty and almost asleep when the phone rang and it was my friend just calling and it was just in the nick of time too.... 2:55 p.m Yeah, 5 minutes to spare! God is so good to me.. He sends
the things I need just in the nick of time.:)
We should stop and really think about the little things that God is in... I am learning how to see them more and more everyday... A bowl, a phone call. these are just the beginning of me waking up to all the wonders of God.... The more I get into the Word the more of the Word gets into me..
Well, just wanted to say Hello and share my Jesus with you today...

Answered Prayer
Hello Beloved,
I just want to share with you how personal God is. My husband and I went shopping yesterday. We like to go to the flea market and Goodwill stores and places like that..
Anyway we were at a flea market and just looking around and as we were about to leave
one of us I don't remember which said something about a bowl. We had been talking about a
bowl that my husband needed and so we decided to go around again more quickly this time.. As
we were going around I just said out loud... Jesus I need this bowl not for me but for my husband. Well, we did not find one. We went on out and had something to eat and just took
our time. When we left there we went to a Goodwill Store and just looked around.. didn't find
it there either, but we did learn where another Goodwill store was.. So we went there and as we
like to look at different things we went each their own way.... Well, I went over to the section where they have " stuff", you know wot-knots and ornaments and odds and end things.. Well,
I just looked down and the EXACT same bowl I had been asking for was sitting right there.. Yes, the EXACT same one!!! I picked it up and just started saying aloud thank you Jesus , thank you Jesus... Now, I am telling you that I know that I know that I know God is a personal God...
I had been studying on asking just that morning in the right motive... God answers prayers when we ask unselfishly. I know because he did it for me... Just a small thing but a HUGE eye opener..... Thank you Lord Jesus for answered prayer.......
He answers small things as well as big things.... Just ask with the right motive.... I love you Lord Jesus..

Deannie
Hello Beloved,
It is with a heavy heart that I write today... Just five days ago, someone I love with all
my heart, suffered a massive heart attack, which has resulted in severe brain damage. I
was called last night by the family to come .. I feel like this man has been my brother, always..
It was hard walking into the house to see his wife of just about 50 years.. She has been
like a sister to me also..... I love very much this family.
This morning as I was in prayer a song, an old song from 1939, came to me... It was called
VICTORY IN JESUS.. Do you know the song? It is a good one..
I know that my sweet friend knows Jesus, he does... He used to sing to us when we were little
and they were mostly Hymns... One I will never forget is " I won't have to cross Jordon alone."
He loved this song. He sang it all the time.. Songs can give us peace... when we listen to the
words of a song and remember how it might have helped us through a rough spot, and then peace follows..
When you have trouble ahead or a tough choice to make just remember that you are not
alone... You are never alone... not if you have a relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ.
He will stick closer than a brother if you let him in... Today is going to be a tough choice for
my friend and her family ..... I know that they know all about Jesus and that it will be into
his hand that they leave their loved one today.. Please join me in prayer for this family. Lift them up so they can find peace in the arms of our Savior.... God Bless each of you.. When we get to the other side of our trouble, it is then that we can see that THROUGH it all we were never
alone... THROUGH IT.. God keeps us through it all.. Thank you for you time and prayers..

Prayer for Mankind
O' Dear Lord , our Creator, who is the Most High God, who has come to dwell with us and in us. The God who alone is our Righteousness, who we know by His Name, Jesus Christ, our Savior.
I pray today that you would hear my prayer for all of us O' Lord who are not where we should
be in our relationship with you...Lord, you provide each and every day for us and we just take
it for granted. Please make us more aware of how thankful we should be.... Each day that we are awaken ,it is with the breath You have given us. We move because of the way you designed our bodies and are intricately made, just as you want us... But, Lord, some of us do not know what it is we do . We don't think about what we worship and how much we do it... We don't think of these things as idols. Help us O' Lord to overcome this world and all it has to offer us for such a short time.... Show us how we may get closer in fellowship with You. O Lord my prayer is not for me alone but for those who are lost.. I pray for the souls of my loved ones and Father I pray for my enemies too. Lord Jesus, You alone are the answer to this prayer... You, alone can only know the hearts of all mankind..... I pray Dear Father for your soon coming and pray I can be ready.. I pray for Your will to be done... In the Name of Jesus Christ my Savior. Amen

Counterfeits, Part One
Hello Beloved,
I have a heavy heart right now.. A friend sent me some reading material and as I have
read only partly the way through; I find myself kinda sick in the stomach.. I am finding
out things I NEVER knew or thought about before in my whole life.. I feel sorta like the
kid in class with the big DUNCE hat on it's head. Before I talk about it can I ask you some questions? It will relate to this subject. OK.
Do you worship idols? Do you think you ever have? What is a idol? I looked the word up
online at the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and this is what I found.
idol: symbol of an object of worship; pretender or impostor; a false conception
Now that we know what an idol is , I will explain what I have read in this material . I have only just read a little of it but enough to know that for me it is going to be life changing..
The material sent was just a little poem that had been rewritten to fit another line of thought.
As it turns out it also had many more pages to it to back it up, 40 pages in all ,she sent... As I started reading through it I had to stop ,it was a very large eye opener for me.... I truly had
never in my life ( least ways that I remember) thought of any of this before...
I may have to make this into several writings so please stay with me and I will get to the point I promise.
The poem was called " The Night Before Christ Came". We all know where the title came from.
It is the after I read the poem stuff I want to talk about...
It is a comparison of Jesus Christ and Santa Claus.
I will write about it in the next post.... tenderly with arms about you. your sister in Christ , vickie

Well, lets start the year out with Praise on our lips.
Thank you Jesus for this day, thank you Jesus for the breath I have, thank you Jesus for the warm house I live in, the clean hot and cold water, the lights , the family that surrounds me in this warm house, thank you Jesus for the rain/ snow, sun/clouds, that we can see out of the window.. Thank you Lord Jesus mostly for the blood you shed for me on the cross at Calvary.
You are such a AWESOME God!, Bless the Lord o' my soul....., Praise God from whom all mercy flows. I praise you Lord with songs and dance!!! I love you o' so much, Lord Jesus.
Want to sing with me here? Sure you do.. Let's sing:
We are going to Praise Him, Praise Him,
Praise Him in the morning , Praise him in the noon time,
Praise Him , Praise Him , Praise him till the sun goes down.
Why? because he is Worthy!! Because I love him! Because he is EVERYTHING to me.
Now don't you feel better after all that!!! I do..
When you start your day with prayer and thanksgiving it just seems to go much better.

I am going to learn how to have a closer relationship with Jesus. I hope as I learn on this
journey, you won't mind coming along... I love to share what I am learning and how I am leaning

I am going to learn how to have a closer relationship with Jesus. I hope as I learn on this
journey, you won't mind coming along... I love to share what I am learning and how I am leaning
on Jesus. My prayer for this year is to share more of Christ Jesus with you and everyone I meet. I am praying for a revival of the Holy Spirit in each one of you.... May God Bless
you and your loved ones this year with HIS Spirit.
Remember : Smile: when you do you are sharing a free gift from God to you , and you are
dressed in the best you have . Tenderly with arms wrapped about you. Your sister in Christ
Jesus, vickie
