8 Things

Think on these 8 things daily...



Know that you are loved..For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV) You probably know this verse by "heart" and have repeated it a thousand times but do you truly believe it in your "heart?"



Refuse to live in fear; fear and worry are tools of the enemy. Fear and Faith cannot occupy the same space.



Be positive and think positive thoughts - do go negative.
  • In Philippians 4:8 gives us our thought pattern - 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. (I like how it reads in the KJV)

 Recover from setbacks quickly. I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 (KJV)


 Avoid comparisons.

Take action - Faith is an action word. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
  • What comes to mind when you think about God is what you really think about God.

 Don't live in "if only" or "what if." Don't live in the past - move forward. Forget the past look to the future. (Isaiah 43:18 - NIV)
  • God is able to make a new beginning - He makes ALL thing new. He turns or test into testimonies and our messes into messages.

 Don't always play it safe. If you always do what you've always done and expect a different result - that my friends is the definition of insanity! Try something new and different - a new hairstyle, new lipstick shade, take the scenic route instead of the quickest route. 
  • God turns endings into new beginning.
















Be blessed and be a blessings!
I've been reading through some of my old journals and this leaped off the page, so I thought I would share. From the pages of my journal dated July 26, 2013

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
