God is EVERYWHERE

And God Created Mondays

While sitting in the cafeteria this morning I had a revelation. Yesterday I posted a praise about the way this week turned out. I wasn't wrong about giving God the praise. What I WAS wrong about was not giving God all the praise the week BEFORE. I

I woke up everyday that week and thought, "oh, not another Monday." I went to bed thinking "I just spent the day on ANOTHER Monday." What I wasn't let filter through my mind was that God created Monday's too. If the day went well or the day went south, God was/is in charge of it all. His creations are only here for my/our good. He does not work in chaos and mayhem. He gave me the day and it was mine to do with what I choose. I choose to complain. So, I have a wasted week under my belt. Any day that is not used to praise the Lord is a day wasted, a day we can never take back.

My week may have been not what I had hoped for but on each of those so called bad days, my family woke up alive and healthy. Each day my family had clothes on their backs, food in their bellies and a roof over their heads. Everyday last week I had gas in my truck to get me from point "a" to point "b." Everyday last week I never had to worry about where my hubby was and what he was doing. Everyday last week I had another day to praise the Lord for his goodness and mercy.

God gave me the same seven days THIS week and it began on a Monday. The thing is, God was as good to me and mine as he was LAST week but I was too busy moaning and groaning. All the "good" things that happened to me this week weren't prizes to make up for last week. They were just things and situations that would have happened in the course of any given day, week or month. The thing is, no matter what day the good thing fell on, it was a day graced by the Lord.

I don't know about y'all, but THIS lady has opened her eyes and knocked the dust from between my ears. I love it when God gives me that "ah HA" moment!

Please Color Me A Hot Mess

I have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. These past few months have seen me not being where I needed to be in my walk with the Lord. My moods have been peculiar and even mean spirited. I have been short with people, said mean things, thought mean things and have just been an overall willing worker for the devil. 

Mind you, its nothing that I have intentionally set out to do. Little things that I didn't check within myself grew. I could have and SHOULD have made myself accountable. True, things have been really hectic and downright chaotic, but that's the number one reason to stay connected with such a merciful and loving God.

I now have to spend time becoming that regenerated woman that desires to be always in the will of God.

Thanking God for another opportunity to do better.

Psalm 1

Psalm 1

1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2.But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3.And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4.The ungodly are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5.Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

WELCOME 2013!

When the storms of life toss and turn us we fear not because the Lord is our anchor and our captain.

What a beautiful thing to know, feel, believe and have hope in!! This year is full of misery, sadness, unease and mayhem for those who are living in and of the world. For those of us grounded in the love of a compassionate and merciful God, the future does not seem so scarey. It does not seem so fearful. We hope in the Lord and leave it all in his knowing hands. Fiscal cliffs? Unemployment? Marital problems? Ungodly children? Deceptive friends? Its such a miniscule thing for our God to control, Our problems are not too big for our God, our God is too big for our problems!!

I welcome 2013 and will spend it giving God the glory. Thank you Lord!
