2015 THE YEAR OF 365 QUOTES & PROVERBS TO LIVE BY!

WELCOME TO 2015!!!

This is a brand new year....virtually a clean slate. "WHILE THE SUN IS SHINING, BASK"

Take claim of everything that God has for you in this new year and be blessed so you can be a blessing! Praise Him!!!

365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...WOW ITS MID NOVEMBER!

Smiles...don't worry I haven't QUIT! Just some issues with my laptop! Lord willing I will be able to post again tomorrow. It was so bad the past few days that I wasn't even able to leave a message to say I did not QUIT and I will be back soon! I will also catch up...smiles. Have a great evening and a very nice TGIF! Remember even in adversity...never give up, and certainly never QUIT! Stay blessed!

365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...WOW HALFWAY THROUGH NOVEMBER!

I can not even believe we are halfway through November! Only a month and a half to go in my 365 Word Journey...48 more days. God is awesome! Without Him I would not have made it this far and without the Holy Spirit I would have had nothing to say. There have been hurdles, oppositions, and minor setbacks but I have persevered. I even passed a mountain of a test yesterday. God has helped me to be STRONGER, WISER, and VICTORIOUS during these last 10 1/2 months. I praise Him continuously. I still have a long way to go...but like Joyce says...at least I am am not where I used to be. I am trying my best by Gods grace to enjoy the journey and not focus so much on the destination. Have a blessed weekend and stay strong!

365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...ALMOST MID NOVEMBER...WOW!

The focus on the 11th in the booklet 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living was DECLARE BLESSING. Say to them, may the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile upon you and be gracious to you. may the Lord show you His favor and give you His peace. ~Numbers 6:23-26. Pastor Osteen wrote that "A blessing is not a blessing until it is declared." We are to speak blessings over ourselves and others. This is something we should do daily. Remember the Benediction given at the end of church service? Many churches don't do that anymore but in the early days of biblical times, it was a manor of speaking blessings over the people. DECLARE BLESSING(s) over your life and that of others today. I know I will try and make this a daily practice. Read Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and be blessed!

365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...WELCOME TO NOVEMBER...WOW!

The focus on the 10th in my booklet 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living was OVERCOME OPPOSITION. A wide door has been opened to me and with it are many adversaries. ~I Corinthians 16:9 As Joyce Meyer would say, "New level, new devil!" Its great to know that God will open doors for me and that above all else He desires that I reach my full potential. We need not fear the opposition, whether its family, friends, or roadblocks...we were designed to be over comers! God always provides us ways to OVERCOME OPPOSITION. I thank God that He is bigger than any opposition or problem I may encounter. What a blessing to have Gods favor! If you don't know your Lord and Savior Christ Jesus...get to know Him...begin with reading John 3:16. Get reconnected to God by becoming a child of God and you too can OVERCOME OPPOSITION!

365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...WELCOME TO NOVEMBER...WOW!

Back to 30 Thoughts For Victorious Living. The focus on the 9th was HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. Let no foul or polluting language come out of your mouth. ~Ephesians 4:29 Pastor Osteen wrote that our words can pollute or purify. The Bible tells us that our words are like a two edged sword with the power to kill. I rarely say a bad word but occasionally one does slip out and I immediately repent and ask God to forgive me. Many people assume, (including me at one time), that Ephesians 4:29 was referring to bad words. That may be included but mostly it is referring to words that hurt. Words that hurt others and words that hurt our own well being. Yes there can be bad self talk. God doesn't like us to complain when things are not going our way either. He wants us to always to HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. I will try and always HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE even when its subzero.

365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...WELCOME TO NOVEMBER...WOW!

I did not enjoy missing two posts this week due to issues with my "lappy." I did make the conscious decision not to fret and worry about it though. Ordinarily I would have for sure. The temperature is going down past freezing tonight. Here we go...early...with a test of my ENDURANCE. On my honor I will try...not to complain...smiles. All I have to do is count my blessings and realize I could be in Michigan and have 40 inches of snow. I really need to hear that repeated...measuring in feet sounds like so much less that inches....reality check...thank God for the cold and no snow! The cold weather is just what I needed to have a 3rd cup of coffee today as well as a hot chocolate before bed...Now that's ENDURANCE!

Wow! I just remembered...now I have an excuse to wear my favorite Winter/cold weather grey hat! Hmmm maybe the 28 degree low won't be so bad after all....yeah right....smiles.
