Just BE
Be what you are but better.
Be who God made you but saner.
Be all you can be but content.
Be all you need to be but enough.
Be all you should be but for yourself.

concern for our world
I am a life long member of the United Methodist church. Today we gave up our Sunday school hour to hear about THE WAY FORWARD, options the United Methodist Conference is considering. The obvious questions concern the LGBTQ group. In my heart of hearts I know what the Bible says. I believe in God's infallible word. God does not make mistakes. People do. Why must we change our views to accommodate people with sinful ideas. I know many who feel this way. I know a few who don't.
I don't know why we should even have to talk about it.
WORLD, it is time to study, pray and know the word and will of God the Father of Heaven and Earth. Please pray with me this can be approached as God would and that the Christian values are not compromised.

OKAY
God makes me whole
When life picks me apart
God makes well
When the world makes me sick
God makes me peaceful
When people steal my calm
God makes me free
When I imprison myself
God makes me laugh
When Satan brings me to tears
God makes possible
When I say I’m impossible
God makes me grateful
When I forget to say thanks
God makes me soar
When I clip my wings
God makes me first
When I hold on to last
God makes me His
When I feel like no one’s

Lord, make me a vessel for your love.
Give me the peace to heal.
Show me the way to mend my broken ways.
Help me find the answers to all my pains and fears.
Grant me grace to feel happy and content.
Lead me in your path of righteousness.
Remove me from my self-inflicted bruises.
Make me whole again.
Forgive me and let me live in mercy forevermore.

finding a brave heart
I’m trying so hard to surrender all to God. It’s maybe the
hardest thing yet. I know if I truly follow him closely all things will work
for good. I will find rest, peace, strength, and hope. If I can truly trust him
I can truly be happy, satisfied, settled, and content. Why is it so hard? We
know the benefits of Christ and yet we keep clinging to old ways that do not
serve us very well.
Lord, make me a vessel for your love.
Give me the peace to heal.
Show me the way to mend my broken ways.
Help me find the answers to all my pains and fears.
Grant me grace to feel happy and content.
Lead me in your path of righteousness.
Remove me from my self-inflicted bruises.
Make me whole again.
Forgive me and let me live in mercy forevermore.

a calling
I have been working on a project for church. I had ideas I liked but could not execute. Then the I figured out a new way to proceed. I still was not pleased but pushed on. I started creating and was pleased but near finished it still did not seem quite right. When I woke this morning, I knew what to do and what was needed. There was no cross in the piece. The cross needed to be there to make it the rest understandable. I know it was God who gave me this missing piece. I have felt or knew that art and creativity is my gift or calling for sometime. This was proven loudly to me today. I will share the piece later on but I am sharing the above piece now since I feel creatively empowered and justified. Praise be to God for His many gifts.

God's Help
God watches over me.
God hears my prayers.
God speaks encouragement to me.
God holds my hand and heart in every situation.
God knows my needs.
God handles my life in every area, especially the parts I
can’t handle.

Trust His Son
·
Know His love
·
Sit in his peace
·
Believe in His power
·
Give Him your complete existence

How do you handle these situations?
I was in BAM to buy the new Art Journaling.
I knew someone was sitting in the chairs.
I heard, “How are you?”
I glanced around and said, “Good, how are you?”
It was a black man, blood shot eyes, which I thought alcohol
or drugs.
He said, “trying to
get warm.”
Then, “ I homeless, haven’t eaten in three days.”
I asked, “do you have any family near?”
He said, “just my mom. She’s in a nursing home.”
I said, “I’m sorry.”
He repeated, “I haven’t ate in three days.”
I repeated, “I’m sorry.” And left.
I started to tell cashier but did not.
Left and found a feather in the parking lot.
Did I miss an opportunity to entertain and angel unaware?

just let go
Often times, the more we surrender to God,
the greater our ability to see His hand in our life.

surrender the old, embrace the new
abiding in a new place
holding nothing back
standing in a quiet thought
letting grace overflow
taking a loving attitude
trusting faith to pull through
going the way of peace
knowing life is a godly gift
(from Jan 2018)
