Mark 11:22 Have Faith in God! Don’t let Fear Shake you up! because God is working on something big for you. You just can’t see it yet….. say For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. ~2 Timothy 1:7 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:19
Psalm 85:6-13 6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? 7 Show us your unfailing love, Lord, and grant us your salvation. 8 I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants— but let them not turn to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
10 Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. 11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. 12 The Lord will indeed give what is good and our land will yield its harvest. 13 Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. God Bless you and Have faith!!
Proverbs 3:6 “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. ” Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
We need to remember the power of Praise and Worship!

Happy Thanks Giving! Back to work I come…. ^_^ So far it has been smooth sailing. Now I have to figure out the order I should arrange the entries in.. A lot easier said then done… :p Again: I wanna know what Bible Verses you Think I should have in this book and why.. I may have it already, But I want your opinions!! Thank you!
Only God knows the heart of a person inside and out… I am not gonna judge anyone. A Sin is a Sin….. All Sin’s have the same punishment.. DEATH! For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~Romans 6:23
But Jesus freed us for our sins. By Giving us a choice to choose Him to be cleansed of sin..For God so loved the world (YOU) He gave His only begotten son Jesus Christ; so that you may have everlasting life. ~John 3:16 You don’t help people by judging them.. You can dislike / hate what they are doing but.. I don’t like how people are trying to take away our freedoms as a Christian.. Yet the Bible has foretold this day was coming… I choose to fight for Christ and I wanna help save as many people as I can… I am not condoning anything.. But I am also choosing not to hate…. Love is more powerful then hate by far.. Still hate is very dangerous!! People are running away from God in fear….. They don’t wanna be told they are bad…. So my goal is to show them no matter the Sin big or small God loves us!! So many people are dying, and I want them to Know the Lord’s amazing love, grace, mercy….. The way I do… However each person’s relationship is different…. We are surrounded by so many confused, lost people desperately looking for purpose, fulfillment, and Love in their lives…. I know I was born to Share God’s word…. I suffered via the devil, God let it happen. So I can say I was there…. But with God I survived… And look at how awesome He is…… I love you all so much!! However God loves you much much more!!!!
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” -2 Chronicles 7:14
Don’t let the Devil mess with your connection to Joy, Love, and God’s will for your life……. The Devil comes only to steal, kill, and destroy you; But God comes to give you Life and bring to bring it Abundantly! ♥ John 10:10
ღ♥ღ Ladies/ Men there is one Person who Loves you unconditionally and will never leave you no matter what, He is always with you, and only a call away.
His name is Jesus Christ!! ღ♥ღ
You are never alone, He is always with you through all you suffer and enjoy!! The man / Woman, God gives us a mate to share out physical, emotional connection on earth. to fill that lonely vibe. But Jesus can reach the depths of your heart that no one else can… No matter how wonderful the love you have with your “special someone” Is. With Jesus in your Conner that love you have if you have it is amplified.. If you don’t have it yet, don’t give up it will come in due time. Let Jesus love you while you wait..
Your never alone, unless you wanna be. I know it feels like the loneliness is to much at times and you may not be able to survive the pain… Been there done that… But God’s Abundant love filled holes in my heart I never knew I had.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:or every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. ~Mathew 7:7-8
Don’t value your worth on if you have someone special or not. Because you are special, a real gift, a Joy!! No one is perfect, so don’t call yourself a loser or other names.
“For all have fallen short of the Glory of God.” Romans 3:23
God does not make mistakes! He made you.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations.~Jeremiah 1:5
He loves you and if you let Him, He has a plan for you. One with Love and all things Good.. Even in the mist of your worst times. God is by your side ready to lift you up, to carry your burdens, and to give you what you need. Just ask!!
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. ~Jeremiah 31:3
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. ~Titus 3:4-7
To all you Mom’s Dad’s, soon to be and Want to be Parent’s out there! Happy Mother’s& Father’s day!!! (Now we know your secret, Your Super!)
This Weekend and Until Father’s Day is special, because of our wonderful Mothers who gave birth to us, Dad’s who have raised us: -and- or- to the Parent who was placed in your life to look after you! It is important we take the time and look back at to see all they did for you, and appreciate them, along with their effort; Even if you do not understand their actions.
The Bible (which I see as truth and my guide) calls for us as Children to respect them. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Ephesians 6:1 KJV Don’t stop reading because I have bible verses , It is important no matter who you are or what religion/ Faith you are to obey and respect your parents.. But it is a pleasure to appreciate and celebrate them!!!
In the old days if a child disobeyed they were taken out of the city and stoned, to death…. Eek! And they say Spanking is harsh?
The Bible can be hash, especially in the Old Testament. Thank you Lord, for The new testament and Jesus’s blood that frees us fro, the law.. (John 3:16) If you can’t respect your parents who will you respect?? I believe it is a foundation we were given, so we can know who is Boss over us and once we respect someone we can learn from them.. Do you lean anything from anyone you don’t respect??? I don’t so I doubt others will.. Not all parents are respectable, some parents are horrid to their children and I feel they should not be allowed to be parents… I’m not talking about grounding or strict rules.. I’m talking about the ones who molest, beat, and play bad mind games, with their children. No parent should abuse their child in any way, shape or form.. If you have or had a parent like that I am so sorry.. You are a blessing! But if you have good parents great parent’s no matter what age you are, You are blessed more then you may realize. Without my parents I know I would have turned out to be some one other then who I am.. I was a rebellious teen, and child. My rules my way! But When I realized how lucky I was I stared to be obedient… It is never too late to appreciate what you have! There are so many I know who have lost a mother or a father to young, and it leaves a huge hole in their hearts, and life… A “Parent” is God’s special gift to His children. We are to look at God like a Father, but if we have not had a father it can be hard to grasp… A different story for a different day..
Now parents, usually both work to give us not only a roof over our heads, and food on the table and love.. They do so much more for us. They give us phones, computers, games, Tv’s, cars etc. You’re so lucky If you have parents who can afford that stuff, or allow those things. As an adult it they don’t stop loving you or helping you. They expect more from you but their help extends sometimes to mortgages, cloths, babysitting, referrals, jobs, medical bills, and much more… Take some time and really think about what your parents, guardian, or role model has done for you. Life is far from easy, but I feel so blessed to have such wonderful parents who are not only awesome role moles but awesome people who set a standard, and raise the bar. The lead the way and helped me lean who I am and what I want to do. They pushed, and pulled, and always loved.. If you wanna be a patent or soon to be one, you should know and strive to be a good one! One who will set a good example to your children, even if your parents were not one for you. You can start anew. Make a decision who you want to be, and what example you want to set as a parent and work at it. ❤ You can do it!!! And every one will be blessed by your efforts!! It is not easy, it is not always fun to set a standard… But it is so worth it when you see people responding and following your examples.. You don’t have to be perfect, but be responsible…
God bless you Parents!!! We children are so lucky to have you! I pray, one day I too can share the joys and hardships of being a mother!
~Amy Jane
I could easily write a book on this topic but I’ll leave you with some verses..
Proverbs 6:20 My son, keep your father’s commands and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Proverbs 13:24 ESV Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
Deuteronomy 21:18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him,
Proverbs 23:22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Exodus 21:15 ESV “Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 ESV“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
I am so excited to tell you “A New Song” Has finally Been published!!!
I am not sure where to start. When I was asked to contribute to this book, I became excited at the opportunity to share my story, God’s story! But as I actually sat down to write it, I became afraid, that I would not be able to convey the message properly and that I could disappoint those who may be expecting me to write a masterpiece. I am presently struggling with some books that I also am writing. I am sure God is using this opportunity as a push. He is telling me to just do it, while using this opportunity to boost my confidence too. I know God wants me to share this story in any way that I can. He is opening new doors daily, not just for me but for you as well. We just need to walk through them – even if at times we have to crawl through. Whatever it takes for us to move forward, keep growing, and to help others do the same.
Any ways! Here is a note from the main editor, with the book Poster below.

I can’t wait to share my story with you all!! I love you, and God Loves you too!!
Right now it seems like I have lost myself to emotions, stress, and disapproval of myself. Where is the old me that was so sweet, happy, and on fire for Christ? She is still in there, but buried under a huge pile of junk… However I’m still here, I am still God’s Child, and more over God Loves me as I am. No matter how many mistakes I make, or problems I have.
I have been trying to improve myself for a while now, and things keep getting messed up worse, and it is making me more stressed. I realized recently I am going about it all wrong! I have been trying yo do this task on my own, which has gotten me nowhere, and into this pile of junk. Even though I am getting a story published I do not think very highly of myself. Nor have I made any improvements towards the direction I want you go. Do you know where I am going wrong??? Heheh I do… The problem is Me. I keep trying to do things my way, the way I think things should be, and not listening to God as much as I should be. So I decided to shut up, and listen to God before I ruin my dreams, and push the people I love away on accident. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. ~Psalms 46:1
As a result, God has been helping me re-discover who I am, In Him. He is deepening my roots, and taking me back to the basics of Who He is. And showing me how much He loves Me! He has been using https://www.josephprince.org/ & http://joycemeyer.org/ ministries to do so.
Through the summons, I have been reminded and taught. About the importance of prayer; how to trust God better; my emotions are a distraction; the devil is out to keep me as far away from God as he can; that no matter what we do, we are not clean or whole without Jesus; and lastly The power of Jesus’s Name!
The worry I have in me, is natural, but it causes me to doubt and question God. What he is doing for me, when it will happen, ect. That is crazy! Who is God? God is all powerful! He is the Alpha and Omega. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.~ John 1:1 14And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. ~Exodus 3:14-15“Teacher, what is the most important commandment in the Law?” Jesus answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, “Love others as much as you love yourself.” ~Matthew 22:36-39
With the worry my emotions become uncontrollable which makes me feel ugly inside and out, and unworthy of His love, driving a wedge between me and My Father. But you know what, no matter how hard I try, I will never be perfect as a human, I will mess up, I will say the wrong thing at the wrong time, I am human… That is why we need Jesus. He is the medium between God and Us. Therefore we can be forgiven of our faults and made new. I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. ~Psalm 34:4
When we worry, we are not trusting God completely and thus are preventing Him from doing His work. And we tend to forget the power in the Name of Jesus! All things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. ~Philippians 4:13 Jesus taught us to pray to the Heavenly Father, In His Name. “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. ~ John 14:13-14http://www.goodpassage.com/articles/NameofJesus.html
If one takes time to lean about God and what Jesus is all about, by reading His book. The Bible. We thusly discover who we are, and who we can become. Which is wonderful! There will always be questions unanswered, and things left to understand. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” Lamentations 3:21-26
Oh my Father, where would I be if not for you? Who would I be with out you? I am all I am, because of you! “For God so loved the world, He gave His only, begotten (beloved), son (Jesus), so that whom soever believes in Him (Jesus) shall have everlasting life. ~John 3:16 Such a powerful confession of Love for us humans… That the ALL POWERFUL, ALMIGHTY, ALPHA and OMEGA, would give up his only son, his most beloved, so that we can be with Him for all eternity!! How could I say no to that??? How could you deny such a love…?? Easy!! I don’t deserve it…… I know I don’t I am imperfect… But he loves me because of our imperfections. Because we need Him, because He first loved us! For he loves us with unfailing love; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord! ~Psalms 117:2.
Lets start with the Beginning, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ~John 1:1 Going from there, knowing he is the amazing God that created Earth, and us… And reading all about the creation of earth and all it’s being in first chapters of Genesis we see proof that what God says, Happens. And it is true. So if The ALMIGHTY God, says He loves me. Who am I to question it??? If I do, doesn’t that mean I am questioning who God is? And not trusting in Him?? Oh what a fool I would be not to trust in Him… It is easy for me to say but for you it may not be…
It is easy for me to say, because ALL I AM, is BECAUSE OF HIM!! Yes there is bad in the world, and bad things happen…. (read previous posts) But it is not God’s doing… He doesn’t cause Bad. He is a LOVING God…. I don’t know why he allows bad to happen sometimes, or maybe we tie his hands so He can’t help…. But with in every bad situation there is and can be Good. And it can be turned around… One of the things I question most is why does he take his children early sometimes… I knew an amazing woman who moved to heaven at a young age, She was an amazing example of a person overflowing with God’s love. And touched every one’s lives. Marget was such a blessing to this world and it shook mine when she moved. But I know it was for a reason. Though I do not know the reason, I trust He has a grand plan.
I have been through stuff I would not wish on any human, health wise, and emotionally. And I know, it could have been much worse, and others have suffered even greater pains. But I also know during those times, God was with me. His peace, His healing, His strength, His LOVE never left me. And yet they grew stronger. And because of All He is, and what I suffered, I grew to become the amazing woman that I am. I have had life experiences that I can use to help others, and because I know how God has been there the whole time, I can share that too… I’ll be honest I have been very mad at God for allowing the health issues. But because He is always there to Fix them, and He has, I can move forward. I had a stoke at age 25 It was my second one. This time I was aware of it. Because I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant to a woman named Halie Brown. An Amazing woman, but she had many mini stokes and TIA’s (Transient Ischemic Attack) I knew what the symptoms were. So when I woke up form a nap one day I knew I was having a stoke. Not a TIA, I was very scared.I could not use my main hand like I should be able too.. I went to the hospital, but the check in nurse didn’t believe me and was trying to move me along. So I started praying out loud, yet I was loosing the ability to speak now… THEN she believed me and rushed me back. I cried out to God! “HEAL ME LORD!! I just started the book you told me to write, you can’t end it like this for me. I have dreams, Goals, wants…..” And He did!!! With in seven day I was completely back to normal. He healed me when I cried out, though it took a while. I was also able to witness to people and bless others stuck in the hospital.. I didn’t want the stoke, but good came out of it…… He used it to deepen my walk with Him and to Bless others… I am who I am because of these situations. I grew up faster then most children, and I have a different perspective of the world and of people then what is called normal, I call it a worldly way of thinking. I mean that nicely… I have found it utterly inpossinble for some one who does not know God to think of others easy, or to grasp what’s really important. Though there are some….. MOVING ON…
I read the book of Genesis Chapters 37-45http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Genesis+37&passage2=&passage3=&passage4=&passage5=&version1=9&version2=0&version3=0&version4=0&version5=0&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0 It is the story of Joseph and the Coat of Many colors… Which in it’s self has meaning… It is a good story about a man who trusts the Lord with all his heart, and though bad things keep befalling him, he keeps trusting in God. Thus God is able to bless him and return all he has lost… It is an excellent reminder God has a master plan! He made us! And as long as we trust in Him, and LET him Love us, we can become amazing people, and change the lives of those all around us for the better.. I wanna make the world a better place, I want to spread God’s Love, I want to be all HE, The all Mighty God, made me to be… Because I would be NOTHING, with out him. I would be lost, maybe a sex, drug addict, or dead….. But I am not Because I have him, I am LOVED, I have an amazing Family, and Wonderful friends!! I am so blessed…. And I want to help you see how blessed you are, and how amazing you are because of God’s Love, his care for you.. Please take a few minuests, hours, or days if you need to and re-think your life, what is important to you, and what God has done and has protected you from.. LET His Love pour out on you!!!
“I cried out to God and He responded with such love. I was strengthened and renewed… I was blind but now I can see… I was ill but am now whole!! All true to me. God is so good!! I am so blessed to be loved by such an amazing God, that he cares enough for me to fill my desires before I ask, and my needs are always taken care of… Thank you my Lord!!! My cup is full and running over!!”
Sometimes life is great and almost perfect. Other times life is overwhelming and so much so you find your wits end. Unfortunately the latter is the most common. And we find ourselves having trouble with the simplest of tasks as well as the major ones. Such as paying attention while doing dishes so you do not hurt yourself, or training for a marathon. What ever it is it is important that you remember to breath.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was worried about many things and far from home. I was challenged by my sister to walk up the last 1/3 of a mountain to the tip top where a large wooden cross can be seen.
I was sacred. Just walking to the trail from the tram, I was out of breath. I had been walking trails daily and one day I walked at most 8miles. The most I have done in years. And this was a lot less then that. Probably about 3 miles at most. But the trail was hard. I had to stop every thirty seconds it seamed.
After the only five minuets I begin to panic. There was no way I could walk this trail. And definitely no way I could make it all the way to the tip top, where the cross was. It was a narrow trail, full of rocks and raised roots. Most of the time it was extremely close to the edge of the cliff or a ravine. It was muddy, slippery in many places, and the stairs had no railings. I collapsed on a rock on the side of the path and told my sister to go on with out me. She reluctantly walked away saying she was gonna check out the next part up some stairs. She has such a sad look on her face. I do not recall exactly why, but I got up and walked to her at the top of the stairs. I told her I would walk the normal path but not to the cross. She did not argue. You should know this trial is one large loop. From the tram around the mountain top and back to the tram. With a side trail to the Cross. You could go either way depending on your preference. One side had lots of stairs and one had mostly natural trail. We chose to go trial up, stairs down. (Something else you should know I am allergic to some bees)
Many people passed us, most on their way down… (most seemed to have chosen Stairs up) 9 out of 10 had something encouraging to say. “It is well worth it, The view is spectacular.” was the most common. And it was a most spectacular view even from the bottom of the trail. It was breath taking and surreal. We were almost half way when we came across the path to the cross. My sister told me she would regret it if she did not go and I told her I would wait at the observation that they had at the fork.
Again she said ok. And I watched her walk away. Yet again I felt the sudden need to go with her. Even though at this point my chest burned as if on fire inside, every time I took in a breath. I stood up from where I was sitting and followed. Less then a minuet latter I found myself hunched over in tears. I could not breath, I could not see. I was loosing consciousness I knew it.. Before I could fall, i was falling to the ground I stopped my self with my hands and I took authority over my body and started praying in the spirit. The verse Philippians 4:13came to mind.“I can do all things Through Christ who strengthens me.” and I could hear God say in a faint whisper. “Just take a step” so I obeyed. “take another step” I obeyed. I was seeing spots every where but my vision was back. I was did not tell my sister what I was going through, but I am sure she knew I was struggling. I repeated the verse out loud, over and over again for about five steps. I was still hunched as I walked but I was moving forward. We still had a bit to go, I was moving very slow saying the verse out loud and in my head over and over again with every step. Unsure if my Body would obey my will. And I heard with every stepnow. “One Step At a Time” I kept my eyes on the ground and obeyed. I quoted “My Strength is renewed like Eagles” Isaiah 40:31 and Psalms 103:5
Around a corner there was a swarm of bees. I was scared but I put on my jacket held it tightly cosed, with the hood up and kept walking, but a bit faster. Everything hurt and I felt Before long we made it to the cross. I can not explain in full words the Joy and feeling of success I had at that moment. I was was moved to tears, if there were not people there already I would have cried. But since there were I did the only thing I could. I hugged the cross and I praised God! And I used the opportunity to witness to those already there. I don’t know if what God has done for me touched them or not but I do know I planted a seed.. Also I know there was no way I could have made it up there on my own. God was there with me all the way up. And once we made it there my Energy was resorted just like the verse. It was as if I had not just struggled up all that way. It was as if I had just woke up full of energy. God had restored my strength like an Eagle just as the verses I was saying before. No one but God could have done that for me! It not only did it help me learn to listen better it helped to teach me to be obedient, and on top of it all I felt extremely loved and and full of peace too… I am not sharing this so you will go out and do something drastic to get closer to God. I am sharing this to show you that God is always with us and willing and will help you in your time of need. All you have to do is call on him and trust him, and do as he tells you. I had no choice not to do as he said. I was stuck up high, I could have gone down alone but I did not know my way. So I decided to trust God to give me what I needed to continue on. And he did and now my faith in him is stronger and I know I can do anything with him at my side.
Deeply Rooted In Him
