Encouragement to the Encourager

-
Rejoice in the Yahuah always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. Yah is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto Yah. And the peace of Yahuah, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Yahshua HaMaschiach. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:4-8 Cepher

 I've had some emotional challenges this past week and boy did I need some encouragement! I love to encourage others, it just comes natural to me, even with strangers. I have no problem walking up to someone who is in distress, sadness or defeat and giving them words of encouragement and a hug or two. I LOVE helping to build others up; but find it hard to find at times an encourager for myself. I think that partly my fault is that I fail sometimes to share with others what my challenges may be, because if they are having problems of their own, I don't want to be a discouragement to them...its crazy. 🙃 So I keep it to myself. But you know what? Ha! Though I have my times of needing encouragement, I have found that if I take the advice of the scriptures above ⬆️ things have a way of working out...for real. When I get my focus back on the things that really matters, all becomes well again and I can continue on; AND my experience of needing encouragement helps me to be an even stronger encourager because I know the importance of having someone to build you up...I know that feeling and it ain't good. So! Be encouraged today my lovelies; pray with thanksgiving and think on the good things that matter and you WILL have Yah's peace in your hearts! 🥰 have a blessed day and remember Yah knows, He sees and He loves you with an everlasting Love!

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
