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
