It has been awhile since I blogged. If you know me, you know alot is going on in my life right now. I am having problems with my eyes but God is working on them and I am fine. My hours have been changed at work to first shift hours. I have applied for the job I am doing so I can stay on first shift. If it is God's will I will get the job. Doing God's will is more important to me than just working first shift. If I get first shift and it is not God's will, God will not use me like He wants to. If I am not being used by God, I will not be happy. I know some of you will not understand this. But, it is not what I want, when I want it. God has already lived my life. He alone knows what I am suppose to do and when. So if I am in His will, will I be doing what He has destined me to do. Amen.
May God richly bless you and your family this Christmas season----------------

Believe

Yes, I believe. I believe God's promises. I believe God can heal today just like He did in the Bible days. I believe God is the creator of everything. I believe in God's timing. God knows all. So His timing in things is far better than mine. I could have looked harder and probably got a another job on first shift months ago. But, God had a plan. Had I left my job, several people would not have been able to ask me to pray for them or a certain thing. I stop by Sonic's every night and buy a large cup of ice to take to work with me. This one young man there sees me alot and we talk at the drive thru. He is from Russia, and he loves the Lord. He has had trouble at work, and last night he told me he was being moved to the other store(I think on 81). I told him that was God answering prayer. And he agreed. He goes to Cornerstone. He is a young man in his 20's and just a joy to talk to. You just don't realize who you come in contact with on a regular basis, and how you can affect their life. I do believe God's plan was for me to be on thrid shift for a while to witness to some people. Now I believe God has a different direction for me to go in. And as my life goes on, God will probably move me some more. As I do His work and it is completed, he will move me somewhere else.
All you have to do is believe and trust in God. God already knows how your life is going to turn out anyway. God Bless you ...............................

You have Choices

Have you every been tempted? I think everyone has at some time or another in their life. But, we do not have to give over to those temptations. Jesus was tempted. The temptation is not the sin. When we yield over to the temptation is the sin. Someone can put a cigarette in my face and ask if I want it. As long as I say no, it is just a temptation. But if I say yes, take it and smoke it. I have just yielded to the temptation. That is the sin.
But the good part is God gives us a choice. We can take the temptation or look for the way God provided. God always gives a choice in every situation. Your choice you make determines how strong you are, where you are going, and your thinking. If you are strengthen by the Lord and His Word, if you are running toward God with a determined mindset to reach Him, and you think positive of yourself, and know you are a child of God, temptations will always be JUST temptations. If you have not been in the Word of God, not sure if you are on the right track, and you do not have a positive attitude, guess what. when temptation comes you WILL give over to it. In other words, you will fall back into the sin you thought you were stepping out of. And your sin could be drugs, alcohol, sex, food, anger, bitterness, negativity, or just a bad attitude. Your sin could be a number of things, you have to figure that out for yourself.
Sometimes, when we give over to our temptations, we go throught some rough times. God has to let you see, you have made a bad choice. And you choice has caused all this trouble. Then we start with the ifs and the buts. Don't wait til it is too late. Make good Godly choices for yourself now. Then you will have a good Godly life down the road.
God Bless you-----------------
