Good Morning Beloved,
Well today is my 4th day of the 30 day challenge. I get up and spend time reading God's Word and I write about it... I got stuck on one verse yesterday in James 1. It was verse 12.. Something had happened and I came home and was reading and it just struck me and I could not go on until I had a clear understanding of the verse..
TEMPTATION: SOMETHING THAT TEMPTS
TEMPT: TO TEST OR TRY; ENTICE; ALLURE AS TO SOMETHING IMMORAL; TO PROVOKE OR RISK
Everyday we are tempted in one way or another. It may be about money, children, thoughts, sex, food, something ... The thing we need to do is learn how to resist temptation.
RESIST: WITHSTAND; FEND OFF; STAND FIRM AGAINST
I am a work in progress and I needed this lesson .. I have to learn how to resist temptation and I hope that by doing this challenge I am...
This is what I did today when I was doing my daily reading.
I started my prayer and as I was praying this is what came from it...
Do you believe God created Heaven and Earth? The Sun, Moon, and Stars? Do you believe God created Man and Woman at the same time?
In Genesis 1:1 God.( Elohim means creator). Genesis 1: 3 God spoke...1:14-16; lights to divide day from night and stars. Genesis 1:26...created them.... male and female. Now, with that said go to Psalms 139. This talks about God knowing all about you while you were yet not born. He knew when you would sit down, stand up, what you would think and what would come out of your mouth. He goes before you and behind you. As imperfect as I am( we are) He wrote in His book all of my ( our) members ( every little detail of who you are). Your hair color, eyes, how tall or short you would be, the color of your skin, boy or girl. ect.... This is something to really think about..... God loves you so much that He knows how many hairs are on your head.. If you believe one thing about God's Word , you need to believe that it is a love letter written to you. It is filled with so much life, love and truth in it for you to learn .... You will never know it all not this side of heaven. In the last two verses of Psalms 139.
" Search me, O' God, and know my heart. Lead me in the way everlasting."
It is time to believe and ask God to Search me and lead me....... God did create all things , you included. Thank Him for that today. Remember to Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus,

Day One : 30 Day Challenge
Hello Beloved,
Today has been a " just thinking " day. Thinking about this and thinking about that. Just think I will talk about my day a little.
I started a 30 day challenge this morning from something I heard from a preacher on T.V. yesterday.
The challenge was having a Personal Relationship with God. He gave four tips and reasons so I will show them here. He said that this is NOT the only way but it was his way of doing it.. So I say that again...THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO GO ABOUT A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
1.) MAKE TIME. Matthew 6:33 " But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Psalms 119:18 " Open thou mine eyes"
If you have to SCHEDULE IT. Just put it on your calendar like you would any other appointment.
2.) READ YOUR BIBLE. This is the way to hear from God. Ask questions.
2 a.) What does this passage say?
2 b.) What can I take from it?
2 c.) How do I apply this passage to my life?
3.) RECORD YOUR THOUGHTS. Keep a spiritual diary. Write down what you are learning from each passage you study. Prayers you say and that are answered.
4.) REACH OUT IN PRAYER. Real prayer is hard work.. Make a planner for your prayers, ie... on Monday I will pray for people who are sick,. Tuesday I will pray for lost souls. Wednesday I will pray for .......... these are examples of how you can do it.... Do this for 30 days and see if you draw closer to God. I have accepted the challenge.
Well, this is how I started my morning off. I got up early and read in my Bible and I have prayed and I am writing down my thoughts.. So I did what I set out to do today.. Then came my first test and I do believe I flunked it.
I had to go and pick up grand kids for school. I called to tell them it was time to get up and they hung the phone up on me. Not a good way to start the day. Then when we are all in the car to leave, not one word was spoken to me on the 10 minute drive. Not a good way to start the day. So , they are off to school and I am on my own for a bit. I am so angry and hurt that I was ignored. I thought how rude and disrespectful this was.. I really was just beside myself with anger. I am driving along and talking to God about how this was just not right and guess what! BAM!! BAM! it hits me .Is this sometimes how God feels about us? Do we ignore him and hurt His feelings? Are we disrespectful and rude to God? This is not what I read about in my challenge today but I was challenged today. I have work to do LOTS of work to do before I can say I have what God wants for me in this relationship.. I am a work in progress. I will just keep on keeping on.....May God Bless your day with all you need .
Smile: it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet...

The Children's Living Bible: Romans 12
Good Evening Beloved,
I have been reading in Romans this past week and I am reading it from several different translations. This evening I am going to take from the Children's Living Bible. I will make direct quotes but I will highlight them so you will know it was from this bible. I will also paraphrase some too.
Romans 12:
Give your body to God, let it be a living sacrifice, holy , the kind he can accept. Don't copy the behavior of the world, be new and refreshing, different. " Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you." There are many members in our body and they all work differently and it is the same in the BODY OF CHRIST. There are many different members in Christ's body too, and we all need each other.
For example: I can not do what my husband does for our children, nor can he do what I do for them. We are the same , parents, but we have different roles with them.
God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.
So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, then prophesy whenever you can --as often as your faith is strong enough to receive a message from God. If your gift is serving others-- serve them well. If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching. If you are a preacher, see to it that your sermons are strong and helpful. If God has given you money , be generous in helping others with it. If God has given you administrative ability and put you in charge of the work of others , take the responsibility seriously. Those who offer comfort to the sorrowing should do so with Christian cheer. Don't just pretend that you love others: really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. Love each other with brotherly affection and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy in your work but serve the Lord enthusiastically.
Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and prayerful always. When
God's children are in need , you be the one to help them out. And get into the habit of inviting guests home for dinner or if they need lodging , for the night.
Don't curse others, pray that God will bless them. Be happy for others. If they are sad then share in their sorrow. Work happily together. Don't try to act big or try to get into the graces of important people. Don't pay evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through. Be at peace with everyone, just as much as possible. Never avenge yourselves , leave that to God . ( DON'T TAKE THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS) . Instead , feed your enemy if he is hungry. If he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be " heaping coals of fire on his head. " Don't let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.
This is written so that even a child can understand. Sometimes we miss out because we think to hard on a verse... This is really very simple.. I hope that it speaks to your heart the way it spoke to mind.
We all need reminders to do the right things.... I am going to pray for each one who reads this , right now.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Please forgive me and the one who is reading this of everything that we have done wrong today.. Thank you for being with us on this, the day You have made.... We are so blessed that we can have the Word of God before us...Thank you for Blood of Calvary. I pray Father that each one reading this would be blessed by your Word today . I add my prayers to theirs for Your Will to be done. In Jesus name. Amen
Remember to Smile.... It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

Double Portion
Good Evening Beloved,
I have so many things to tell you! I had such a great day today.. Mike and I went to a new church up in Lafayette. I had been invited by the Pastor from this church to come and visit, so we went today.
We went this morning to the regular church service and it was different from what we are use too. It was nice.. they had a guest speaker there today. We learned things that we had never heard before and that is always nice to do.... I don't want to mention names as I do not have permission to do so, but I can tell you this; this man was a good speaker.
We came home and found out that our church at home was not going to be in service this evening so we went back to Lafayette and I am so glad that we did. It was a amazing night of worship and prayer and teaching and healing.... I saw people go to the alter and say that they wanted to be free from smoking and this man ask them to throw their cigarettes away and to go and get them from their cars, lighters, matches, anything that had to do with smoking ; and they did!!! I saw people just fall down in the Spirit. I had something happen to me personally that I am still in shock about..
I had an accident on a motors scooter in September, 2011 and I have not been able to make a fist since then. This man said if anyone here has arthritis, it is gone.. I clamined it !! I can now make a fist, not with one hand but with both of them!!!! May not sound like a big deal , but let me tell you for me it was HUGE!! I can breath better too!! I know it was NOT this man but God who did this... I just am so excited it happened.
One week ago my oldest brother passed away. I am saddened by this.... I will miss knowing he is not in this world with us any longer.. BUT you know God.. He never leaves us nor forsakes us.... I was feeling pretty bad about my brother but tonight God gave me a very special gift. I met not one, but two new sisters!!! I got a double portion tonight when God put into my life two very wonderful, sweet , awesome ladies, Anna and Becky. We met and made friends right away.. I love it when that happens!!! I could go on and on and on but I won't ( at least not tonight :) ) I just had a great day today and that does not happen all that often.. I love to hear the Word of God come alive and it did for me at least on this day.. I don't mean to sound like it does not on other days but today was just kind of special... So, for tonight I will say this :
Smile: Remember it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless each of you . Tenderly with arms wrapped about you. Your sister in Christ Jesus

The Last Trump
Good Morning Beloved,
I am reading a book called " FOUR BLOOD MOONS" By John Hagee . On page
89 of this book, it starts talking about THE LAST TRUMP.
I write that to say this.. A group of woman from my church has been watching cd's on the End Time.
I saw these cd's and I looked up more by the person who was speaking on them and found one on " The Rapture".. Now to go on and explain why two different views.
The series of cd's person says that according to 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52 that at the last trumpet we ( the church) will go through the tribulation.
Now this is what John Hagee says in the book FOUR BLOOD MOONS, page 89-91.
The Bible tells of a series of trumpets is recorded in the book of Revelation and they are seven judgments coming on the earth. The first trumpet ( shofar) sound recorded in the Bible is where the children of Israel received the 10 Commandments at Mount Sinai. The last trump is recorded in
1 Corinthians 15:52 when the church is raptured. The great trump is blown when at the second coming of Jesus Christ , as recorded in Matthew 24: 30-31 The sign will appear of the Son of Man in heaven.
We are to be watching for his soon coming to take the church..
There are so many different theories out there, we need to get into scripture and ask God to show us what we need so we can make up our own minds.. Please don't take someone at their word just because..... study to show your self approved like it says in 2 Timothy 2:15.
When we stand to be judged , we will be standing ALONE; so make sure of what you know.
I am sure that as I get more into this book I will post more.. I love the Word of God and I want to know more about it and what it is saying to us. Once again I am not a scholar nor a teacher just someone who loves the Word of God and wants to share what I am learning...

The Rapture, Catching Away, Translated
Hello Beloved,
Christian folks everywhere are talking about the " rapture".. When will it take place? What do we need to be looking for before it takes place? What do I need to do to be ready for when it happens?
I was talking to a friend yesterday and we were asking questions like these and we went back and forth looking in scripture to see if we could find for certain when it would take place. We thought we had it all figured out ( at least I thought I had it all figured out.) So I go and talk with someone else about it and we go back and forth.... Is it a pre- tribulation rapture( something that will take place before the tribulation starts) or a post- tribulation rapture( will take place after the tribulation).
Well, I went and got out several different bibles and my Strong's concordance and went to digging for answers.. I studied till just before bedtime and still I did not know for sure what I was looking for. I got up this morning and I started with prayer and ask for understanding and wisdom of the Word of God..
Well, I started reading and I came across a reference that said " spiritually blind". So I looked up scriptures for that.. As I was reading in 2 Corinthians chapter 4,,, it hit me!
When the " rapture" takes place is not really the issue here... The real issue is AM I READY if it should happen today? Duh..... What happens if I go and get hit by a car, have a heart attack, lightening hits me, ect..... you get the picture. Will I go to heaven or hell? Do I understand the difference between them, heaven or hell.. You bet I do.... Heaven is being with Jesus. Hell is being without Jesus.
Do I think the " rapture" could happen today? Do you think that it could happen today?
I have decided that it does not matter if it is before or after tribulation, to me what matters is am I going to be ready to go.
Remember to smile as it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

Things on my mind
Good Morning Beloved,
A beautiful day!!! O' how I have missed the sunshine.. I was walking home from a friends a little
while ago and this is what was in my mind and so I just thought I would share it with you..
privileged: a special right, advantage, favor, ect... granted to some person or group.
destine: to predetermine, as by fate: to set apart for a certain purpose; intend
We are not all born privileged to parents in this world , but, we are all destine to be privileged.
We did not all come from a home of privilege but we can all go home to a home of privilege.
I hope this makes sense to you ...It makes sense to me...
Not all of us came from homes that were MOSTLY always right...You know the places I'm sure... Places like going to the " right" school, or the " right" clothes, the " right" church, the "right" you fill in the rest.... Some of us came from homes where it always seem to be fighting against something or someone.. But, no matter what kind of family you were born into YOU were destine to be a privileged person. It is a choice, yours.
Some people seem to just know how to do everything right, don't they? They bring their children up right and the children bring their children up right and so forth.. Why do you think that happens? What do these people know that others don't? Do you know a family like that? Where everything seems like it is perfect for them? I know a family like that.. On the outside it does look perfect but just like a apple you see how pretty it is on the outside and don't see the rot on the inside.. That is how this family is too. While the outside is nice to see the inside does have it's problems.. It is all in the way the problems are handled .
Now, the other side of the coin is like this... Some people seem to do just about everything wrong, don't they? They bring their children up wrong, and their children in turn do that to their children and so forth.. What is missing from these peoples lives? Why does everything seem to go wrong for them? Looking at them from the outside you can see all their rot . I know a family like this too..
But, you know if you take the time and really look you would see that the rot is just on the outside not on the inside...
First set of people were of the privilege kind, the second set of people were the destine kind .
It makes no difference what kind you were... ALL are destine to privilege.
Since Adam and Eve, man has been born in sin.. You , me, everyone of us are born in sin, but,
we all have a choice to make to be of the privileged.. Jesus Christ died for our sins and it is your choice to believe that or not.. I believe He died for me..... I chose to follow Him and be privileged for eternity not just a season. We are joint -heirs with Christ , if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified together.. Romans 8: 17 What a privilege it will be to live with Jesus Christ for eternity. These were just my thoughts on the walk home today.

Not all of us came from homes that were MOSTLY always right...You know the places I'm sure... Places like going to the " right" school, or the " right" clothes, the " right" church, the "right" you fill in the rest.... Some of us came from homes where it always seem to be fighting against something or someone.. But, no matter what kind of family you were born into YOU were destine to be a privileged person. It is a choice, yours.
Some people seem to just know how to do everything right, don't they? They bring their children up right and the children bring their children up right and so forth.. Why do you think that happens? What do these people know that others don't? Do you know a family like that? Where everything seems like it is perfect for them? I know a family like that.. On the outside it does look perfect but just like a apple you see how pretty it is on the outside and don't see the rot on the inside.. That is how this family is too. While the outside is nice to see the inside does have it's problems.. It is all in the way the problems are handled .
Now, the other side of the coin is like this... Some people seem to do just about everything wrong, don't they? They bring their children up wrong, and their children in turn do that to their children and so forth.. What is missing from these peoples lives? Why does everything seem to go wrong for them? Looking at them from the outside you can see all their rot . I know a family like this too..
But, you know if you take the time and really look you would see that the rot is just on the outside not on the inside...
First set of people were of the privilege kind, the second set of people were the destine kind .
It makes no difference what kind you were... ALL are destine to privilege.
Since Adam and Eve, man has been born in sin.. You , me, everyone of us are born in sin, but,
we all have a choice to make to be of the privileged.. Jesus Christ died for our sins and it is your choice to believe that or not.. I believe He died for me..... I chose to follow Him and be privileged for eternity not just a season. We are joint -heirs with Christ , if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified together.. Romans 8: 17 What a privilege it will be to live with Jesus Christ for eternity. These were just my thoughts on the walk home today.
Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet...
