Hello Beloved,
Are you a Christian? Do you claim to be? Do you tell people you are a Christian? So what is your fellowship with Christ Jesus? Do you claim to have fellowship with Him?
According to 1 John 1:6
" If we claim fellowship with Him and yet we walk in darkness, we lie, and do not live by the
truth."
( Now if that doesn't make you sit and and take notice of how you are living, what is is going to take?)
fellowship: companionship, company, association
So according to the definition of the word fellowship. Do you still claim to have fellowship with Christ Jesus?
darkness: devoid of light, dismal, gloomy
light: something that makes vision possible, spiritual illumination, truth.
Now, we have the definition of the above three words.. . fellowship, darkness, and light.. Can we tell if we are in fellowship of darkness or light? I believe we can. If we live in a world of lies, deceit, and frustration then that is a world of darkness ... but if we live in the world of truth, love and peace then we are living in a world of light..
So what is truth? Truth: sincerity in action, character, and utterance.
In John 8:12 (KJV)
Jesus spake unto them saying" I am the light of the world: "
John 14:6
Jesus said unto him, " I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
So we know that God is truth and light... so that only leave darkness and Satan is the father of it... So, now we have to figure out which one we follow or that we want to follow.. Light or darkness?
You would be walking in darkness if you had fear , or worry or were anxious about anything or your thoughts were always negative.
If you fear, you have no faith. If you have faith, you have no fear.
Read what 1 John 1:7 says:
" But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, ......
Now we know that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and we do not have to walk in fear, or worry because we have faith in Him and if we have faith we have no fear...
So do you want to walk in fellowship with the Light or darkness? It is your choice...
Remember that when you smile you are the most beautiful you can be...
God Bless and keep you, tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Words that mean something
Hello Beloved,
I have been thinking about another word that I would like to share with you.
CONSEQUENCE: 1.) results of , effect of. 2.) a logical result or conclusion.
now if we put it in consequences: it means: to accept the results of ones action.
When we make a choice we know that it will end in a consequence(s). So it is important to think about what we do or what we think: Do you agree?
Now, another word to look at is this;
judgement: 1) formal utterance of an authoritative opinion; 2.) Judgement ( capitalized) the final
judging of humankind by God.
So now I will go (or at least I hope I can ) to what I have been thinking, OK? Here we go, please stick with me now...
If you go out and do something wrong and you are found out, then you will have to pay the consequences for it. ie....Say you went out and told on your friend/ siblings, you now have that friend /sibling mad at you for a time.... their being mad at you is a consequence for telling on them... Or maybe you got arrested for speeding and had to go before the court.. Well, now, you have to pay the consequences and you also receive judgement... You had to go to court, consequences and then then judgement , paying the fine for speeding..
Life is like that too. we go through life choosing the wrong places to go , people to be with, or maybe even in the way we eat, drink, or even think..... When we go and choose the wrong way or the wrong people , we have consequences. You know, after the consequences we are still going to have to go through Judgement... So I am thinking , since we know that ahead of time, why then do we still choose the wrong stuff? Why do we think we can know more about it then God?
If anyone out there is guilty, it is ME. I am always choosing in myself and not on what God wants.... I know I am not the only one, but does it bother me . Does it bother you as much as it does me? I think about how many wrong/bad choices I have made in my life and I think , Can God forgive me of all of these things? I know the answer and it is YES!!!!!!! Yes, God forgives me and He will forgive you too.. He sent His Son to die so we could have the choice to believe or not believe... I choose to believe.. How do you choose? It is so easy to go the way of the world isn't it? But I don't belong to this world anymore... I am waiting for my home with Christ Jesus in Eternity. I pray that you will also want to be with Christ Jesus in Eternity. I have so much more I am thinking but space allows only so much .. I pray that today you will chose to be with Jesus in Eternity. Lord Jesus who ever reads this I pray that as The Prince of Peace you would come into their life.... You are Mighty, You are All in All... You are my everything.. I pray that You would become theirs also... Thank you for choosing me to be part of your body. I love you Jesus now and forever...
Remember : Smile you are then dressed the most beautiful you can be.... I love you all tenderly with my heart .... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Failure
Hello Beloved,
This is going to be a little different today. We are going to explore the word failure. How many ways you can fail... OK. Here goes.
FAILURE: a state of inability to perform normal function; lack of success; falling short; one that has failed.
This is what the word means. Now we will see if we can name some of the ways you can fail.
First a question. How many ways can one person be something to someone else? example:
At birth you become someones child, grandchild, brother or sister, maybe an aunt or uncle, cousin, then you can become someones friend, in-law, wife/ husband, mom/dad, grandparent,co-worker, acquaintance, employee/employer, you can become many more things too.... Now we list some of the ways you fail.
As a child you may fail in not doing what your folks wanted, same with anyone of the others listed above. You failed to live up to what they wanted for you... you didn't do what they wanted you to do, or you said the wrong things, looked the wrong way, acted badly, you just did not do as they wanted you too.... Then as time goes on you have failed yourself because you didn't do as you thought you should...You tried to do what each one wanted but you just could never measure up and you failed again and again and again till one day you said I am a FAILURE at this game called life and reached a point of not knowing where to go or what to do...
This is where you need to have a stable mental outlook on life and it's hard to do that with all these failures in your life. The one place you did not look too was the only place you would find
PEACE, yes, peace from all the failures of this world..... That place to look is up while you are down....... Down on your knees before God and asking Him to let you have a peace that is not of this world, but His peace. John 14:27
He knew you would feel this way and He loved you anyway ! Others may think of you as a failure , you may even think of yourself as a failure but God knew you BEFORE you were. Psalms 139 : read it... It will change your way of thinking... It has mine...
I know what it means to be a failure, all the things listed above, I have failed at.... I have hurt all of them but the one I have hurt the very most was ME. By letting others , by what they said or thought of me become what I said or thought of myself.... That is failure... I should never have let what others say or do make me what I was suppose to be ...
I am suppose to be a light in a dark world of pain and suffering and I was not... I have hidden my light for way to long... I am a child of the King!!!!! I am a Son of God! I have been washed by the Blood of the Lamb and the hearing of the Word.. I am someone who is LOVED by the Creator of us all... I now ask before God in your hearing to break the curse that is over my thoughts and ask Him to please put PEACE where I have had so much failure... I love the Lord God Almighty who is Jesus Christ our Savior. I ask humbly before Him if He will forgive me for all of my life's sins and come unto me with His Holy Spirit and walk before me in my thoughts , my life. In the name of Jesus Christ , I pray for His will to be done. Amen..
Beloved, if you have ever felt like you were a failure please ask now for God to break that curse that is upon you and find peace in our Savior... If He will do it for me , He will do it for you.
I love you all and in that I am not a failure.... If I have hurt you in anyway I ask you now to please forgive me as I have forgiven you.
Remember to smile today,, you may be the only one who shows the light and love of God to someone in that smile and you are dressed the most beautiful you can be when you smile.. It is a
God given gift; your smile...
with all the love and tenderness in my person to you .... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Reading Through
Hello Beloved,
I don't know where this is going but I am just going to start OK? I just started reading , The Student Bible,NIV . I have read several different versions now and this is the one I have been using when I do my Bible studies with Beth Moore. Anyway, I am in Chapter One and I wanted to expand some on what I have already written about in another blog spot called 2500 Miles.
It is about the stars and heaven. Genesis 1:14-19
" God said, " let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15. and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18. to govern the day and night and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.19. And there was evening, and there was morning--- the fourth day.
As I was reading it just came back to me what I had seen in the movie at the Creation Museum.
It is something I just can't seem to get out of my mind...
The stars. How many are there? I just looked up and on one page it says that it is something like 10 to the 21 power.. that would be a number like this long
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 I don't even know what that would be!!!!!!! I know that it is a lot of em. and just think God created them on the 4th day. He spoke and they came into being... Is that not just AMAZING !
Out of all those stars He created He chose this one , Earth, to send His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ to. THAT my beloved is Incredibly Amazing!! Of all that He created He chose Earth where you and I live to come down too... I just can not fathom the vastness of the stars and planets.. It is to much for us to comprehend. In one day He created all the lights, the sun, moon, and stars..
Now , just how awesome is that. On the sixth day , He created man.. Then He rested... Do you think He is resting now? I think not... We , man, human, have really thrown the monkey wrench into His rest , would you agree? I am not even out of the first chapter of Genesis and I am already having my mind boggled.... God loves us so much , look what He did for us in just six days.. You and I could NEVER have done any of the things I am reading about .... NEVER.
I tell you true, I love my God so much,,, I can never ever thank Him enough for what He has done for me and for where He has brought me from.... Oh, How I love Jesus.... I just thought it might be something to help keep your mind working to think about just what happened on Creation Day # 4.. It sure has made my mind work...just thinking about it...
Remember to Smile today,,, someone needs it and you are dressed the most beautiful you can be when you Smile...
God Bless, tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus , vickie

I have a Question
Good Evening Beloved,
I have a question for you. How do you know you are being called? Now the called I am talking about is of course being called by God to go and do something or say something. How do you know your being called? I ask because today I spoke with a lady I know and she is leaving on Wednesday to go overseas for a undetermined amount of time because she was called.
I asked her how she knew.... her answer was something like this.....
"I didn't say anything to anyone because I thought it might just be me but my husband said to me that I would be leaving soon and going back so maybe we should look for an apartment, and then a lady I know told me that she knew I was going back... so she just took it all as conformation that God had called her to go on another mission trip. "Is that being called?
I really do not know the answer... I would really like it if someone could help me out here...
I do not feel like I am being called to do something that big or important... I know that we are all called to be witnesses of The Gospel... I do try to be that.... I am just wondering if anyone has a answer. I know we have a still small voice inside of us that we should be aware of and listen to..
So can anyone help me? Thanks for listening ... God Bless
Remember to Smile: You are dressed as beautiful as you can be...
Sincerely, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Learning Wisdom
Hello Beloved,
I have so much I would like to share with you today. But I am not sure how to really go about it yet.. I am still thinking on it... but, I would like to share one thing right now with you. I have just finished my Beth Moore , Bible Study called Breaking Free. I have not broke free altogether but I am in the process. Anyway, a thought occurred to me a few days ago and I would like to tell you about it and maybe it might also help you if you are trying to " break free"...
Several years ago , my sister sent me a letter and in it she told me something pretty important. I did what she ask not really putting my whole heart in it.. ya know what I mean? Well, after this study I decide a few days ago to go back and do what my sister had ask me to several years ago.. ( Why is it that we always have to do things the hard way?) She told me that I should read
Hebrews once a month and Proverbs every three months.. I did . But now, I would like to tell you how I am doing it now... Instead of every three months I am doing one chapter each day for a month.... There are 31 chapters in Proverbs and you can do one a day for a whole month... This way I can read it each morning and reread it throughout the day so it will hopefully stick with me all day long.... I am calling it ( for myself) getting wisdom... I am praying for wisdom and understanding in my life right now... Maybe you are too... I really think this is going to help me... I hope it will also help you. Well that was my thought for today.
I am recommitting my life to the Lord Jesus Christ and doing so each day... I am such a human that I make mistake after mistake everyday so by recommitting each day I am in hope of learning something new. May God smile down on you today and Bless you as He has me..
Remember : Smile , you are dressed the most beautiful you can be when you do...
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Big Birds
Hello Beloved,
I only have a minute to tell you about a strange thing that happened to me today.
I was out on a mower, mowing a large open field and I thought I heard something overhead.
I did it was a helicopter coming down out of the sky and was going to land in MY big open field.
It did and it was really kinda cool... Ok, I go back to mowing and pretty soon I looked up and
yes, you guessed it ANOTHER helicopter circled around the field and came back and it landed too! I have never had something so large fly so close to my head as I did today.. Not one but two beautiful dark blue / creamy white big birds dropped by today as I was just mowing a field.
God is so good.... He loves you so much... He died for you.
Remember to Smile today as you are the most beautiful you can be.
tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie
