Hello Beloved,
I started a new chapter in my life this past February. I learned I had High Blood Sugar. Found out it is a big deal too. I had to learn quickly a new lifestyle of habits, it was not easy. Well , I stuck with March through June,. In July we took a short trip and I did pretty well on that trip with my new habits. It was when we got back home that things fell apart.. O I had lost weight , quit itching, felt stronger physically and emotionally but then it got to be a hassle to try and fix meals one for me and then everyone else.. I got lazy. So by November I was back into the bad moods, weight gain, itching.. I hate the itching!!!
I did learn that the saying " YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT" is true alright.. You eat junk , you feel like junk. That is the way I feel with this disease called Diabetes .
Here it is three days before Thanksgiving and I itch so bad.. Oh well. Dinner will be fixed just like usual with all the trimmings but someone ( me) won't be able to partake in it.( at least if she knows what is good for her she won't)
So I have to start this journey all over again and this time stick with it... and hopefully a lesson has been learned. I know when it is my turn to say what I am thankful for this year I will have a lot to say. I hope and pray that you all have a great Thanksgiving with your families..
May God our Father keep you and your loved ones safe until His return. In Jesus name, Amen
Smile: you re the most beautiful you can be when you do..
your sister in Christ Jesus , vickie

Open Letter
Time is very short. Watch the news listen to what they are showing. Terror attacks against different countries, famines in all the world( food shortage in all countries, BUT the real famine is the shortage of hearing God's Word- Truth). Pestilences, ( disease) earthquakes. This is what's happening everyday in this one little small place called Earth! Look at what Matthew 24 says: Wars, rumors of war, happening.. People offended, betrayed, false doctrine ( prophets) love gone cold for each other, people being killed because of the NAME of Jesus Christ. ALL THIS IS HAPPENING!!
I do not want to offend anyone , but this will. But the TRUTH needs to be told.
It makes no difference what " religion" you practice. Be it Muslim, Judaism , Hindu, Buddhists , Christian or any other.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST JESUS. you have NOTHING.
We can argue or disagree ALL day long but in the end it will still be the same.
NO RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST------YOU HAVE NOTHING.
PROOF:
If you believe in Genesis1:1 that ELOHIM( Hebrew) God( supreme) created the heaven and earth, then you must believe John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God ( Theos- Greek) and the Word was God( Theos) O.T Elohim, N. T. Theos. The same God.
John 10:30 " I and my Father are one."
Ephesian 4:1-32 Please READ IT. Ephesians 4: 4-6 says this; There is one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. This is Christ Jesus.
Acts 4:12
" Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, where by we much be saved."
John 3:16
" 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." We can all chose to be that whosoever.
James 2:17-26
Faith without works is dead. Good works alone will not be good enough.. It takes Faith in Jesus Christ. Faith alone without good works is dead.
John3:3 Jesus tells Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; " Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again , he cannot see the kingdom of God".
Verily, verily means without a doubt, it is double truth.
I write this because I love each and every one who will take time to read this. I do not want to offend you but time is so short.. I do what I must do. I am praying over these words and leaving it up to God to show you the truth. If you do not chose to follow Jesus Christ then you will pay the consequences for you decision . Remember this salvation plan was offered to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles. Romans 2:1-11. READ IT. v. 11 " For there is no respect of persons with God."
Philippians 2:10-11 " That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Romans 14: 12 " So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."
Please talk to God and ask Him to show and Lead you into the truth of who He is.

To Be Alive At Such A Time As This
Hello Beloved,
I have a heavy heart as I write this. Paris, France has been attacked by terrorist. Panic and terror are running rampant. Fear , wondering if it is going to happen again tonight or tomorrow.. Loss of life of both the innocence and the guilty, not knowing now who you can turn to and trust..
It is still a great time in history to be alive. We are living in the Last Days before the return of Jesus Christ and are witness to prophecy being fulfilled. Yes, it is a frightening time to be alive but at the same time it is wonderful too.
Don't you wish that you could just wave a wand over the troubles of the world and make it all better? I do. It really disturbs me to think of all the things going on in this world that are so evil... The people who are being deceived and killed. Hunger, disease, cruelty, wars that are going on.. But now is not a time to be afraid . It is a time to be brave and stand up for what you believe in and you know that is what people all over the globe are doing.... It just is not what we think is the "right " thing... So if they can stand and show the world what they believe why don't we? One person can make a difference. So here is my stand for what I believe is the right thing.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN AND PEACE. NO OTHER NAME OR WAY WILL DO IT..
This is my belief. Remember to smile it is a free gift from God for you to share.
your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Privileged
Good Morning Beloved,
Do you ever think of yourself as privileged? privilege: a special right, advantage, favor, ect.. granted to some person or group
Well I feel like I was privileged this past week. A young man offered me some wise advice. I want to share it with you but first let me tell you that as I grow older I become more open to listening to advice from people who have been there.. My hope is that you will too.
As you know I am on a spiritual journey and want so much to learn all I can....Learning lessons from Pastors, layman, music, children, and young men. I am so blessed . It is hard for me to fathom the depth of love that God has for me... I don't always understand things that are taught but I am willing to learn. Nick, taught me that no matter what we have gone through we can learn from what is called " THE TWELVE STEPS OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS"..
No, not that we are alcoholics but that we can learn from them the steps to overcome the addiction we have... I think we all have an addiction of some sort.. Maybe it is alcohol, or drugs, porn, or maybe it is a attitude or feeling of self-worth, or pride or something else. Mine is always feeling unworthy of anything. I believe these steps will help me. We all go through something...So here is what I found online about the 12 steps.
1. Admit you are powerless.
2. Believe in a Power ( God) greater than you to restore your sanity.
3. Decide to turn your will and life over to God.
4. Make a moral inventory of yourself.
5. Admit to God, yourself and others of your wrongs.
6. Be ready for God to remove ALL defects of your character.
7. Humbly ask God to remove your shortcomings.
8. Make a list of all your have hurt or harmed and be willing to make amends.
9. Make direct amends when possible, except when it may harm them or others.
10. Continue to take personal inventory and when wrong , admit and try to fix it.
11. Pray for God to improve you and ask only for His will and wisdom to carry you.
12. Practice these steps each and everyday , in ALL areas of your life...
I have paraphrased these steps but if we follow them we will have a better life.
I believe in God, Jesus Christ as the ONLY way to get ANYWHERE here on/in earth and in eternity.
I hope this will help you too. I am starting to do these things and I will keep you updated as to how they are working for me..
REMEMBER: Smile, you are the most beautiful when you do..
