Hello Beloved,
Yes, I know I have already been on here once today .... but I just wanted to tell you about something I just read in the book I told you about... " The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel.
It is Chapter 14:
It is an interview with Gary Habermas PH.D, D.D.
He is talking about when his wife passed away of cancer. How was he going to raise 4 children alone? He had students calling him with this " At a time like this, aren't you glad about
the Resurrection?" He says, he smiled for two reasons.. First , his students were trying to
cheer him up and second, it worked.
He states that if God were to come to him, he would ask one question? Lord, why is Debbie up there in bed? and he says back.... I think God would respond by asking me gently, Gary, did I raise my Son from the dead? Finally I got the point...
Resurrection : Jesus was raised from the dead 2000 years ago and if you are dead IN Christ you too will raise from the dead.. Because , If there is a Resurrection , then there is a heaven. I will someday see both, Jesus and Debbie.( I paraphrased some of this to shorten)
If you are going through some grief now because of lost loved one... please take heart in what this man is saying.... Your loved one will rise again too if they died in Christ... WOW !! What a promise.. God is good all the time.... He keeps His promises....
Dear One, Please don't fret so.... just turn everything over to Christ and it will be easier...
Get your Sword ( The Word of God) out and read it everyday, get stronger in Christ Jesus, sit down and have a cup of tea with Him and make it personal...... He is just waiting for you to invite Him over.....
Smile: when you do you are dressed the most beautiful you can be...
tenderly, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

New Book
Hello Beloved,
Well ,we are off to the start of another new day. Thank you ,Lord ,for the breath I have in my body today and for my blood pumping in my veins. It is a cool, wet day with clouds outside but
oh, what a glorious day it is! I am alive and you are alive and that makes it a wonderful day!
I have been reading another new book... I would like to tell y'all about it.
It is called " THE CASE FOR CHRIST" By Lee Strobel
A journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus.
It is just like the title says.. about a man who is investigating the claims of Jesus to be the Messiah.
It is a good book to read... It has a lot of different questions in it and he has gone to great lengths to get answers from people who have spent their lifetimes on this study. People from all walks of life, and different backgrounds. It is the research done for you...
I am going to tell you about just one part of the book,,, It is the chapter called " The Medical Evidence" I must tell you that it is very descriptive and may just be for you to hard to read, but
please read it anyway.... It was done for you.
The man who is being interviewed is Alexander Metherell, M.D. PH.D
I will put the web site here so you can read for yourself and I won't make any mistakes typing it ok? thanks ...
www.chirstchurchreformed.com/SwoonTheoryStrobel.htm
It is really something we should all know... It is hard to read and know that this was done for us...But it sure does say a lot about the LOVE that Jesus has for us too. You owe it to yourself to know first hand what it was like... God Bless.
Remember : Smile , when you do you are dressed the most beautiful you can be...
Tenderly, your sister in Christ , vickie

Something to think about.
Hello Beloved,
Beloved: meaning : dearly loved or dear to the heart.
Have you thought about the times we are in? How things have changed from the time of
your youth? How times have changed in the church? That is what I would like to talk
about now.... Changes in the church.
Did you know that in the military the chaplain's can NOT say the name of Jesus Christ..? Did you know that? We can not pray in schools, the commandments taken from the public view.. all the garbage that is on TV today. It is all part and parcel of the end... ( or at least I think so)
The earth is groaning under the weight of all the evil in this world... Soon , I believe evil will
rear it's ugly head in the form of some man.... Maybe you agree or maybe you do not...
We already have things being put in place or are already in place for a one world money, one world religion, what is next? One world leadership? I think so...
Am I scared of that ? Not scared, nor worried really, but wondering if all of my loved ones
really know what is coming feeling. Do you know that when this leader takes his place that it will soon be that you can NOT buy or trade or sell anything without a mark? NOT this old gal... no sir ... no mark for me.... I pray that people will stand up now before it is to late...
Oh, Lord God in Heaven, I am praying that all those who do NOT know you would come to seek you ... I pray for the lost souls ... I pray that if someone needs to know about you that I would be able to to tell them about you... in Jesus name.. amen
Jesus Christ is coming and He will be here soon..... If you have not put your faith in Him yet, today would be a good time to do so... Jesus Christ IS the first and the last... He died for all of
our sins... No one else has ever offered to do that ..He is COMING back and soon.... Are you ready should He call today?
Dear Jesus , please forgive me of my sins and come into my life that I may learn about you... thank you for the gift of salvation.... In Jesus name.. amen
If you prayed that pray please find a good Bible base church and get baptised in Jesus name... I am praying for you too.... If you need to talk about this I am right here... I will help you learn
what the Word of God has to say... Just ask... God Bless and remember to Smile , when you do you are the most beautiful you can be... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

I love my sisters so much, but they have other things to do besides read my ramblings all the time.... but my "new sisters" may just need to hear what I am learning.... so Bonny, this is for you.
You are my Beloved. I love you with all the love that Christ Jesus has put into me...
We are all in this together, each of us struggling with our own personal problems. But we are also suppose to help encourage each other along the way.... You are a beautiful young woman who is trying to make a go at life... I admire you for that and all that you are trying to accomplish with
your sons, work, school , and family.... You just remember Dear One, that you are NEVER alone and you just ask and He will be there with you.... As a matter of fact, I just had a cup of tea with Him this morning. Yes, I sat at my table and had tea with my Lord Jesus.... We talked and I read from His Holy Word and then I came in and saw you beautiful comment..... Yes, you are NEVER alone and He will answer you each and every time.... sometimes it is with silence and sometimes it is with other people..... Thank you for letting Him use you today... God Bless you,.
Remember to Smile: you are the most beautiful you can be when you smile....
Thank you so much.... Your sister in Christ Jesus and with much love, vickie

To Self
Just something to keep and look at from time to time..
" We cannot be at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we cannot
be at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God. "
The Trappist Monk, Thomas Merton
How to Act: Colossians 3:9-25
paraphrased.
Lie not to one another, put on bowels of mercy and kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
long suffering ( patience) , fore bearing one another, forgiving one another( as Christ forgave us)
put on charity ( love) let the peace of God rule in your heart, and be thankful.
When you are so down on yourself, do for you what you do for others, encourage yourself...
Look inside of who you are not at the outside...
Psalms 139
learn it by heart! God said you are wonderfully made... He knew you in your mama's womb and even before that! God loves you .
Don't let others tell you how to feel about YOU. They don't like their selves, so they need to make you unhappy too, it's a lie.... You make your own decision about happiness.
Learn to forgive YOU like you so freely forgive others.
God made you for this day not some other time but for this time... That is exciting when you really think about it... He knew you were needed for this time.
This is some things for you to think about when you are feeling down and blue.
YOU are important to GOD. It does not matter what anyone else thinks. Just remember that.

Soon and Very Soon
Hello Beloved,
Well , The Earth is groaning. I think we are in the last few minutes just before birth happen. What in the world is this
woman talking about, your asking. Well ,I am talking about the soon and very soon coming
of the Lord Jesus Christ . Yes, I know we have heard that all of our lives, but I believe it to be
even more true today ....... I am just so excited !!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see Him face to face...
Just since January we have had so many major earthquakes , Hatti, China, South America, and floods, and volcano's erupting different strains of flu's, just lots of different things happening that we can read about in the book of Matthew 24. How many have been deceived about Christ? We have all these wars breaking out , Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico, drug war here in the United States. What about all the gay movement? Gay preachers? You won't find that in the Word of God. Famines everywhere, yes right here in the U.S.A.! People are hungry everywhere. Look at the way the economy is in the whole world. Look at how people are turning AWAY from God. They have found new love, the garbage kids play in video games, or on t.v , kids not playing outside anymore because they are lazy! Parents not wanting to mess with the kids as it is too much like work, sloppy ownership of homes, and person... I just don't get it. How could a society go down hill so fast? We have a president who is driving our country down the tube and WE are not doing anything to stop him. We have really fell a long way....... BUT! and yes, we always have a but.
There is GOOD NEWS!
Matthew 24:13
" But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
Now that is good news, wouldn't you agree? How are you handling the enduring? I pray that we call all hang on just a little longer, because SOON and VERY SOON I believe we are going to get
to see the King of Glory... Hallelujah! Have you ask someone today if they know Jesus is coming soon? Have you shared what God has done for you in your life? Are you all caught up in the Word of God? I can not think of anything that makes me happier then telling someone about the Love of Christ Jesus... I want to tell the world just what He has done for me... I love Him with all of who I am and just want everyone I know and meet to love Him too.... I am still just a baby in the Word of God but I am learning.... I pray for you each night that you will love Him too.. and share Him with all you know... Here is a little part of a song for you...
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King,
soon and very soon , we are going to see the King,
soon and very soon, we are going to see the King,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we are going to see the King.
The time of labor is almost over.... I am so very glad.... . I love you all so much... ... If you have come this far in reading this I want to tell you Thank you for sticking with me...
Smile: You are the most beautiful when you do.... God Bless and have a wonderful day in Our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ... your sister in Christ Jesus, billiemae

Part 2 Mama made the Difference
Hello Beloved,
This is a good book. I wish EVERY new mother had this book to read and learn from..
Wow! I will say again that Mrs. Jakes did a good job.. It talks about lessons and that lesson is the chapter of the book... There are 21 lessons that he writes about.... I won't go into all of them
but I would love it if you got the book and read them.... It is a really good book. It tells us what our Mama Teaches Us.
It talks about how to " Hide" your child... Not like in hide and seek but to protect your child from outside things. It also talks about how to support your child( not in the $ way) but in every way.. how to love ourselves, and how to banish the bitterness, how to set high standards.
Folks, it is a good book and I will get some of these books and start using them as gifts for baby showers and other times too... I really think it is a good book to give to new mothers and mothers who have young children and teens... It has a lot of wisdom in it...
I love words and I know just how important it is to use the right words.... That is something you will see in this book also..... The Power of what you say..... When you use words wisely it makes a huge difference in lives... I know this first hand
I would hope that you would try to find this book to read ... It is called " MAMA MADE THE DIFFERENCE" by T. D. Jakes.. It is a good book... Please find out for yourself what it says to you....
God Bless and Smile today someone is watching you... and you are the most beautiful you can be when you do..... your sister In Christ Jesus, billiemae
