I am in Control by Being in Control of MYSELF....

Hey Beauties...

Wow, i havent done one of these post in soooo long, i think i need to get back into it =) I wanted to share something with you today...maybe this would be helpful to you like it is for me =)

"When your circumstance is unpleasant or even downright painful, exercise self-control. Say something positive like, "This too will pass, and it will work out for my good in the end." Then discipline yourself to put your time into something that will Benefit someone else. The best medicine is to do something Good in response to the Evil coming against you"

WOW, what a powerful message...wouldnt you say.

Stay Blessed Beauties

Think BIG, Pray BIG, Expect BIG

Dont underestimate the Power of GOD. GODS dream is so much bigger then what you think, life tries to reduce us but GOD wants to expand us. He owns it all and he can do it all, what does it take? FAITH in him and PRAYER.

Honor GOD with your life and you will see him perform the IMPOSSIBLE in your life. GOD wants you to advance, the devil wants to keep you where you are. Dont be easily satisfied, dont hit the wall...keep going and keep going hard in FAITH

It may not take a day, or a month, it may take years. But you have to remain strong in FAITH  and GOD, its a test of your faith. He wants to see if you are going to be in it for the long run. God wants to bless you more than your normal, he likes to do unusual things. DONT GET STUCK IN YOUR THINKING!!!

God always has other plans for you...his blessings are explosive blessings. GOD is such a great GOD, he can do anything, ANYTHING...doesnt that mean something to you? Doesnt that feel GOOD to know no matter what you are faced with GOD can HEAL it.

Rather its school, your income, your marriage, GOD has the ability to make it better, he will, but you have to keep your FAITH!!! PRAY- PRAY- PRAY and PRAY some more...

DARE TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING BIG, dont make excuses, dont settle for the "right now", you can RISE HIGHER in EVERYTHING!!!!

GOD is our healer, he is our Father, he is our counselor, he is so great!!!

GET RID OF THE EXCUSES AND RELEASE YOUR FAITH AND GET READY FOR GOD TO DO SOMETHING BIG!!!!

this message felt so great today when i heard this from Joel Osteen, oh how i love the power of GOD and feeling of his presence. GOD is going to bless me, i feel it, he is going to heal me of everything and make all my dreams come true...i believe, ive seen it, but im not stopping here, im going to keep walking with GOD and im going to keep praying to him, because no prayer is ever to BIG...remember that!!!

**JOEL OSTEEN**

Im Too Blessed To Be Stressed!

Im sure everybody could relate to this in someway. Rather you are stressed over your health, school, money, work, family, whatever it is, just stressed about something. Then its time to take a step back, and ask God to take over that stress...

Sometimes we tend to deal with things on our own, we think we dont need anybody to help us, that we could make it on our own. Well if you beleive that, ask yourself how many times have you failed in that area. You may have been ok for awhile, but that problem that turned to stress came right back into your life...its on repeat cycle..just keeps happening and happening.

Its time to ask God to take over it. Prayer is so strong and so needed, its so simple. But so many of us DONT do it, or stay on that path. We loose sight, we walk in the other direction, and we loose faith. It happens, we are human...but at the same time, we know Better.

No matter what you are stressed about, think to yourself, IM TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED. Because at the end of the day, i bet your Blessings out weight your Stress...think about it. You have alot to be thankful, there are so many people out here who doesn't realize their blessings because they are so focused on whats "bad" in their lives instead of whats "good".

So today, thank God for your blessings and pray to him for your problems, hand it over to him...let him release you of your hurt and pain, its possible, have faith and leave it to him.

So enjoy your day Beauties and as always Stay Blessed!

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me...

Hey Beauties, i found this poem online, and i wanted to share. Remember tomorrow isn't promised, lets live like today is our last and let your family and friends know how much you love them. No matter what ever happens, keep God 1st and walk with him through life, and one day we all will be at home in Heaven. Strive to get there no matter what life throws at you, remain true to the Lord above, because at the end of the day, he is FIRST! God knows how much i love my family and friends, may God bless all of us and protect us. Just remember when life throws something crazy your way, ask yourself, Will this get me in the gates of Heaven? If your answer is no or you are unsure...then its time to change and walk with God. =) Stay Blessed Beauties and enjoy the poem...

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see.

If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things we never got to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you..

And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too..

But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand..

An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,

It seemed my place was ready - In Heaven far above,

and that I'd have to leave behind, those things I dearly love..

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye.

For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you..

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad..

I thought of all the love we shared, and how much fun we had..

If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,

I'd say goodbye, then kiss you ‘til I saw that special smile..

But then I fully realized, that it could never be,

'Cause emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.

And when I thought of all those things, I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. .

But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great & golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you.

Today your life on Earth is past, but here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,

and since each day is the same day, there's no longing for the past. .

But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,

Though there were some times you did some things you shouldn't do. .

But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free,

So come and take me by the hand, and share my life with me.."

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,

for every time you think of me, I'll be right there - in your Heart..

Be Generous...

Sometimes we tend to "Judge" others and don't even realize it. Is that right? Of course not...we are Gods children, we are not here to judge and we should not judge. Instead of judging others who are not "Like" us-how about we give people the benefit of the doubt. Step into their shoes and you will understand why they are the way they are...Be Generous with others, and open your heart to them...you never know the effect you COULD have on someones life...Help them get on track to God instead of walking away...

Life is a Journey to Heaven...let us help others get on that road instead of turning our backs on them because they are not like "US"...

You could be the Turning Point in someones Life...Let us Grow...in the name of God!

All it takes is one person...take the life of being a Healer..and you will Live the life of Victory!!

Lord Jesus i repent of my sins come into my heart....I receive you! Amen

BE GENEROUS

Praise His Name EVERYDAY!!!

Praise Him everyday...not just on Sundays or when you are in need...Lets do it every single day. He is ALWAYS there for us when we need him, there to listen, there to talk too, there to heal..everything...so why not praise him every single minute! Hes your Best Friend... he will never hurt you..this is someone you could always TRUST, He is GOD!

If you have been a follower of my blog for awhile now, you know i am not ashamed of my faith. Even though this may be consider a "Beauty" Blog, i still blog about my faith, about God. I listen to him and he tells me what to write..sometimes i don't want to share some info but i do because i know it will help someone out there...You never know who you touch, God works through all of us! So make sure you Listen..You never know what God may say to you today =)

Praise Him..God is God!

You are never alone...remember that...he is always there! He is so worthy of our Praise!

"I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies" (2 Samuel 22:4).

"You are worthy, our LORD and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being" (Revelation 4:11).

God Bless You ALL =)

Just Thoughts....

....These are just my thoughts, i don't know why I'm writing it here, but maybe its to help someone, to touch someone. Did you know God blesses us to bless others? He does. I feel like i am put here to do something, we all are. But you have to learn to listen to him and to pay attention to the signs he shows you. I remember before being saved, i would always here the word of God from random people. I never payed any attention, i was a lost soul, i thought i was "saved" but i wasn't doing what a saved person do...i was doing worldly things. Doing what my mind wanted to...Sin. But i always put the word out of my head...but now i realize that it was God all along SPEAKING to ME!!! Gosh, i was so blind...so blind, so lost. Honestly I'm just happy i finally opened my eyes and ears and heart to him...I got saved before it was to late. I'm not ashamed of GOD, I'm not ashamed to let the world know, because you know what, its God telling me to write this, because i believe this will touch someone who reads this..God uses us to touch, to speak, to warn others. Its up to you to actually LISTEN. Don't look at it as someone just preaching the word to you, its God, rather its your mom, your friend, a stranger....Learn to Listen to his voice, to recognize it. It will save you.

I am changed in away you can not see...i am change from within. What use to get to me years ago, can not touch me anymore...SIN. I am not perfect, i am human, and i do tend to slip up, sometimes i let the Devil into my weak zones, my past-my hurt. I am learning to keep my armor up at all times, but sometimes it gets to heavy...but I'm praying to God for him to lift that heaviness away and to help me each day to be a better woman of God..I live for him 1st- my family 2nd. When you feel weak and you feel yourself slipping...pray to God for guidance.

Move your past/sins to another column and claim it dead. I reckon it...i Reckon myself to be dead. I rather live my days here knowing and doing what is right by God then to live in Sin and do what my flesh wants me too...which is more important?

You cant change what has happen to you in the past or the things you have done. Take what has hurt you, move it over to another column, you are taking all the POWER OF GRIEF  away...AMEN! Don't let your past hold Power over your Present-Your Future-YOUR DESTINY.

If you haven't watched the video from yesterdays post of TD Jakes....please do so.

I am going to choose to be positive, i am not going to be negative or bitter from my past hurts. Don't ever give anyone Power over your life. When people do you wrong, rather its your friends, family, children, mother or father..do not let what they DID TO YOU BECOME YOU!!!! That is Power!! You are better than that...You are Gods Child...and you are free of it. You cant change what is going to happen to you but you can choose how you feel, you can use it to become bitter or use it to become better...IM USING MINES TO BECOME BETTER.
