Hello Family,
Blessings, love, and peace to you and your family.
Blessings, love, and peace to you and your family.
I just want to celebrate my deliverance. I just want to celebrate because the scales were loosed and fell from my eyes. I can see clearly now that the scales are gone.
What an experience. I hope you can live it one day. It was wonderful, powerful and revealing, (of myself and my relationship with others). I felt as though I was in a different world. It was like being present with people, but alone. You talk to them, interact with them, but you are so far removed from the drama and everybody's problems. You still have peace in the midst of all of the confusion and chaos. I've been to the mountain top talking with God, so whether or not you like me isn't my focus. You being my friend doesn't take center stage. I've found a real friend in Jesus. One day, someone told me something that somebody else said about me. Talk about shocked, I was. I was in total disbelief. I thought we were better than that. I must admit, I was hurt and those words rang out in my mind during the course of the day. But you know what, I was able to laugh and shake my head. I was still willing to help that person, the Bible says, love your enemies. It's powerful to be around people and know that they were just talking about you and you still show Jesus' love. Now that doesn't mean for you to dislike them, mistreat, or talk about them. You just know that you must put them on your prayer list. You can shake your head and go on in the strength of Jesus. Jesus is my help and I just want to celebrate His love.

I got a new attitude. Thinking about and looking at the awesomeness of God I refuse to worry about money or the lack thereof and not being able to pay bills on time. The 1,000 cattle on the hill are His.
I refuse to worry about what people think about me or what I'm doing. It is not necessary to explain my every move to people when God (the Holy Spirit) has directed me to make this or that move. I refuse to let my appearance be a problem for me, because you or whoever don't like my style. I will wear what I have with thanksgiving in my heart. You don't like me? That's okay, because God loves me. You think I'm too nice and that gets on your nerves, oh well. The bible tells me to love my neighbor. You think I'm too happy. the Bible says, let the peace of God rule in your heart. I'm so willing to give? Give and it shall be given unto you. I think I'm so much? Not really. We should strive for perfection. I'm striving. I refuse to worry about the salvation of my children. Didn't He say, He would save your household. I refuse to worry about getting or being sick, isn't he a healer. When I look at the beauty and splendor of what God created: the numerous types of trees for food and others for our viewing pleasure; the rivers, oceans, streams, seas and creeks; the hills, the mountains and valleys; the races of people; the sky and millions of acres of land; the angels in heaven and on earth; the human body, male and female (from conception to a senior citizen); the land, sky and sea creatures; the sun, moon, the planets and the stars; the seasons, day and night and God put a rainbow in the sky. There is no way that I should worry about bills, what you say, the way that you look at me, the way that you feel about me, or how you view my life. There is no way that I should worry about food, clothes, sickness, death, or salvation for my loved ones. There is no way that I should worry about a residence, where that residence will be, furniture, hot or cold water, lights, gas or heat. Not about education, popularity, educational status, class and the list could go on. God is my Father, a mighty Conquerer and a strong deliverer. Therefore, I refuse to worry about anything. I will be concerned, I will pray, but I can't worry. Therefore, I will rest in peace, while I'm alive. Hello Everyone,
Welcome back and thank you for coming back to visit. Christmas came and is now gone, at least all of the activities and festivities. My mother-in-law, always said, every day is Christmas. Meaning, you woke up, you have food, shoes, clothing and a roof over you. That's a good thing to remember, because some people don't have Christmas on one day let alone every day. Let's be more thankful, even when we don't get the things that we want or get our way. The new year is here. Did you make any resolutions? Even if you didn't I think we should all resolve to be better. You know the areas that need improvement. Pick one thing and work on it. Somebody once asked me, how do you eat an elephant? The answer, one bite at a time. Even if you don't perfect that thing, if you make improvements that's great. Sometimes, depending on what it is, you can work on multiple areas that you want to improve, just don't add too much, because you may get frustrated and stop doing everything and wind up back on square one. So long, farewell to 2019. Say Hello to 2020 and the amazing year that's ahead of you. Happy New Year and may YOU make this your best year ever. Love you all, Darlene |
