REJOICE !

"Rejoice in Yahuah (the Lord) always: and again I say, Rejoice." -Philippians 4:4

"Rejoice in Me !" that is what I hear in my heart this morning. Not rejoice in myself, but to rejoice in HIM! It was a very personal message from Yahuah (God) to me. He knows me so well. The past few days have been punctuated with news of the passing of a family member, the passing of another dear person and the fragile health of another loved one. All this during what can be the most melancholy season of the year...add to that the sun seems to be taking a vacation, making the days sometimes cloudy and dreary.

 I know that I should not complain; as I was talking to my sister the other day and said that there are people that have it so much worst than me. I've had some intense times, but it is nothing compared to what others have suffered. So I never want to ever seem unappreciative to how faithful and wonderful that Yah (God) has been to me because I surely don't deserve it, yet He loves me still. Still, I do not under estimate the things I have experienced on my journey and how they have molded and made me into who I am today. Each life is personalized and customized by Yah (God) when we are submitted to Him. When you are on the Potter's wheel sometimes the clay is being shaped in ways you know not of and though sometimes we want to get off, we have to stay on that wheel in order for the process to be completed and into a beautiful piece of art...a masterpiece...a True MASTER's Piece.

So, even though this time of the year is melancholy and has some additions of not so good news, I must REJOICE ! Not in myself, not in the season, but I must choose to Rejoice in Him! Not one of us knows what tomorrow may bring and that is not a negative statement, its just the truth; but we cannot live in the fear and uncertainty of that truth because then we would lose all hope. So let us Rejoice In HIM, the Maker of All things the Maker of us. He knows us and knows what we have need of and He is so faithful!

 I give Him public Praise! I am thankful for His Mercy that endures forever, I thank Him for His Goodness even when I don't deserve It! I thank Him for His Love that is unconditional! I thank Him for keeping me in times of grief and when I thought I could not go on! I thank Him for His Power and that He is in Control even in this crazy world! I give Him praise for Who He is and Who I am in Him! Rejoice in Yahuah (the Lord) and again I say REJOICE! Halleluyah!!!!!! have a blessed day y'all !

Are you Looking or Seeking?

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:13 Seeking…looking…what’s the difference?   According to Dictionary.com, the word “Look” means to turn your eyes towards something or to turn in some direction in order to see [a person, place or thing.]   Dicitonary.com also states that the word “seek” means to go in search or to be in quest for a certain person, place or thing. There are many scriptures in the Bible referring to and using the word “seek” when talking about God, not many about “looking” for God.   This made me begin to ponder the difference.   One example that stands out in my memory is the account about David, a shepherd at the time, and Saul who was made King.   Saul who had all the external attributes to be King was “looking” for that position, but David on the other hand just a young shepherd that spent most of his time out in the fields and hills watching sheep and praising God was “seeking” for God’s will in his life

 " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;    and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4: 6-7 "BAM" is what I loudly heard as my car jolted forward! Sitting at the light waiting on it to turn to green, it was the last thing I expected to happen, never saw it coming. Yet it did...and loudly! The first thing I did was look in my rear view mirror and sure enough, it was not a dream, there was a car right on the back of me. I had about 60 seconds to get myself together, put the car in park, and though my heart was beating about 1,000 beats a minute...I said to myself "ok". To be honest with you, I didn't think to pray a long prayer, because in times like these, you really only have the time and ability to say one word "Jesus"...and for me it was enough.  A calmness came ove

Letter to my Mom...

Dear Ma, Well, another Mother’s day has rolled around; this is the 12 th one without you.   But your passing from this life to eternity seems like yesterday sometimes. I miss you so much.   And it seems that the older I get, the more I understand you…does that make sense? I passed by a mirror the other day and wow I could see you in me so much…your mannerisms and movements! If I am becoming even a fraction of the woman of grace that you are I am so thankful.   I know, I know…during my turbulent teenage years I wanted to be anything but my mother. But now Ma, I am so thankful that you hung on to me during those times. Me with my smart mouth and “always having to say the last word” self; you hung on to me, even when I’m sure I broke your heart a few times.   Thanks Ma…only a Mother’s love can do that. I can think of a lot of things I’m sorry for; like the time I missed your 50th wedding Anniversary; and the time after Dad had passed, I should have had more compassion, instead o
