ALL Facebook gamers are PROcrastinators!!!!

Ha Ha!!! I knew that would get your attention♥ We know that's not true but when we feel like procrastinating, you can definately get lost in Facebook for a couple of hours...

I'm currently a Money Honey Fashionista on Fashion Wars

I maintain a mighty plantation on Farmville

I keep 50 fish alive on FishVille

and last but not least...
I serve great meals, although you can't have it your way
cause it's not Burger King, on Cafe World.

As a child of God, the worse thing you can do is procrastinate when HE wants you to do something. When I'm on the puter and HE needs me to read, study or pray, I KNOW it. Cause I start having this feeling of guilt, like I'm dodging Him, like HE's calling me on the phone and I'm lookin at caller ID waiting for HIM to leave a message. A relationship with the LORD is a marriage. We don't tell our spouse, "Hon, now that we're married, I need you to know that Sunday is your day, Monday through Saturday is allll miiiine!" NO, we have a constant relationship, intimacy (I praise and worship HIM) and communication. Sometimes I'm selfish and stubborn and I stay online waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy longer than I need to. Than when I finally obey HE blesses me with a peaceful spirit, wisdom, answers to questions, lyrics for my songs, ideas, inventions... HE'S ALWAYS GOOD TO ME!!!

But unfortunately, like the children of Israel in Exodus, we forget that HE delivered us and saved us and we get wrapped up in self. About 5 months ago I had a wake up call. I changed the password on my puter ("punishing" my son who did something he shouldn't have). I ended up getting punished myself cause the next day could not remember the password for the life of me. The weeks I had without the computer were mind blowing, more time with kids, more reading, more outside activities... MORE TIME!!! LOL

Well, even though our spirits have been born again, our flesh hasn't cause I just got another wake up call. I knew I needed to be in bed early. Was on the puter last night, jumped over to Twitter and saw that Tiger Woods was a trending topic. I hadn't heard the latest so I jumped over to a well known blog that I knew would have the run down and sure enough he was the HEADLINER! Well as I was feasting on the juicy gossip I clicked on a link without thinking twice and BOOM!!!! Pop up central. It was one of those "VIRUSES" that's not really a virus but something a company cooked up to look like a virus to get you to buy their product. Soooooooooooooo annoying... So while running both of my anti virus programs and realizing that it was going to be awhile before it was totally removed, I prayed, studied and ended up falling asleep a couple of hours earlier than I would have if I was still able to be online.

The moral of this story is Just Do It!!! I knew what I SHOULD have been doing when my puter caught a cold, but I was being stubborn. Can't help but think that if we were to ever have a massive electricity outage (which is bound to happen in these last days), I would have nothing to show for allll the time I spend online, yet time spent with the LORD is NEVER wasted. HE knows and hears all. He keeps track better than the best internet trackers!!

♥♥ Whenever I'm tempted to think that time 'messing around' on the internet is more fruitful than my time with HIM is, I remember this scripture 'FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARDS YOU, SAITH THE LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE, AND NOT OF EVIL, TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE' Jeremiah 29.11 When we seek HIM, He's always for us, it's only when WE turn our backs on HIM that He has no choice but back off. He's a gentleman!

Anyone else out there finding it hard to limit your FACEBOOK usage? Maybe this is a confirmation of some things the LORD has been speaking to your heart lately? You're not alone... Let us pray...

What Am I Listening To?

WE SHALL LIVE!!!!!!!

(based on notes from Wed night service

Pastor Robert McGinnas) (Ezekiel 37)

Many of us think God is easily angered but the WORD says he's longsuffering.

All he wants us to do is acknowledge that we've fallen short.

HE can't help us until were willing to let HIM. Many times we think God approaches us with the same judgemental attitude that we approach people with.

Jeremiah 24.6 tells us that the LORD only wants to build his people up. He only wants us to return to HIM with our whole heart.

We'll probably be surprised at those we see in heaven. God is looking for a reason to excuse and forgive... not the other way around.

We have to see GOD for who he really is.

We limit GOD. He knows the choices were going to make before we even make them. He is the God of a second, third, fourth.... chance. We as people have our limits and begin to put up walls and distance ourselves from others when they cross us too many times. But GOD continues to be faithful to us no matter how many times we cry out. (When it's unintentional usually. But if we continue in sin intentionally, there are scriptures that warn us that 'GOD is not mocked'. He knows our hearts)


Mark 1.40 tells a story of a leper.
Many don't know that lepers were rejected from society. As they approached the general population, they had to call out, 'Unclean, Unclean!!' to warn of their presence. They lived in colonies especially for lepers where they would eventually die. Leprosy is symbolic of the death that sin brings to our lives and relationships.

God can cleanse the leprosy of our souls. Our mind and our conscience will be free and there is deliverance!!! HE wants to bring complete restoration and make us as strong as an army.


Ezekiel was told to prophesy to the bones. The LORD said HE would cause breath to enter the bones. Many times we look at our situations and think... it's too late, I've gone too far. But the LORD looks at it and says.... "I can do something with that!!!" He looks at our lives and sees potential. He looks at dry bones and sees and army



God did not yell at the bones (Israel) and tell them how stupid they were for being dry. They died spiritually and became the dead carcass of revival.

GOD restored the bones to exceeding greatness.
That which is dead can be raised again and made into something great. Sometimes we feel like the remains of a past revival but GOD restores. He speaks to the winds.........

THE GREATEST MIRACLE

IS A HEART THAT IS TOUCHED BY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BACK FROM HIATUS (not really.. just... well, I got lazy : 0 )

I wanna start off this post by requesting prayer for President Elect Obama. He is a man that apparently confesses JESUS with his mouth... but denies him with his Hindu Monkey god (along with his other 'lucky charms'. Check out the link

The only 'luck' a Christian needs is th blood of JESUS. Cause JESUS is alive!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went 10 laps on the walk tonight. I'm ready for a new season. The season that is filled with victorious challenges. Gone are the days of despair. Gone are the days of dreading the obstacles ahead. These are the days of being prepared. Getting stronger and more prosperous with every victory. Gone are the days of 'can't', don't wan't to and 'later'. These are the days of 'I WILL', I HAVE TO' and NOW!!!

With all work there is gain. Prayer is work because you're in battle. Words are spirit. There is a fight to keep you from speaking life into the earth. You are like your Heavenly Father. Words are alive, words are spirit. The LORD spoke the world into existence. The LORD breathes life into us. We need to breathe, speak life and speak the word into this world. That none may be lost, perish.... burn.

On the walk tonight I felt a desperation for the LORD to cleanse my heart like never before. Give me complete forgiveness in my heart. Just that little bit of anger, bitterness, envy, hate, etc... could be enough for me to forfeit heaven. After this long journey, I can't give up the fight now. Create in me a clean heart oh LORD and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence Oh LORD and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.... and renew a right spirit within me. Songs take on a whole new meaning when you find yourself in that very place of desperation as the lyricist.

The WORD tells us that in order to be forgive... we must forgive. We are only kidding ourselves to think other wise. The WORD Always supercedes our thoughts and understanding (futile).

It was cold tonight, about 54*. Had on my sweats, 2 shirts and a thick hoodie. At first I'm apprehensive about walking at night. Since it gets dark about 4:30 now, I end up walking at night (I GOTTA GET THIS FAT OFFA ME :) By the 3rd lap...I didn't care about nothing cause the 'feel good' hormones were flooding my system.

I was singing/praying in tongues. Praying in english. HE brings clarity. I pray that he doesn't allow anyone with demonic influence or intentions to even enter the catwalk. I pray the guardian angels guard the entrances and exits. I FEEL PEACE. (AND HEALTHY :)

How clean are we in HIS EYES?

The LORD sure has a way of cutting through our 'important' thoughts. I was getting in the shower after walking, busy thinking about the chores I needed to get down especially if someone decided to drop by. An instantly I felt the LORD drop in my spirit, you care more about how clean other people see you, if only you felt the same way about staying clean before me. Needless to say, clean, takes on a whole new meaning. Thank you LORD for the BLOOD of JESUS. Help me to stay clean before you and carry my cross.

Reference chapter: Romans 12

Romans 12

Living Sacrifices to God

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Serve God with Spiritual Gifts

3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,

5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;

7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;

8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Behave Like a Christian

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

20 Therefore “ If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
