Be AWARE of Thorns and Thistles

My friends and well wishers, Yes, one more day that the Lord has blessed us to be here. He continues to reveal the importance of seed time and harvest. It is the twelfth day of the eleventh month in year 2010. We have planted seeds, here and there and everywhere. We have nurtured those seeds, watered them, ensured they're safety as best we could. We have also received seed for the harvest of our life and spirit. We have nurtured that seed, watered it and determined that it would bear righteous seed. But, somehow, one way or the other...thorns were found growing among our seeds. What are we going to do with the thorns? At least Be AWARE of the Thorns and Thistles They can be painful...in Pauls case, (I Cor. 12:7-10)he tried to get rid of his thorns, but the master had "Allowed the thorns" to keep Paul humble and relying on God. His Grace is sufficient. So, in my spirit, I can understand and appreciate the fact that at times, God allows the thorns in our lives and gives us grace to sustain us. And like Paul, when we are in relationship with God, we will know wheather or not those thorns are for our good or for our demise.

In general, we must Be AWARE of the thorns and thistles...they can, as indicated in Hebrews 6:7-8, cause you to be rejected and even destroyed. Thorns may come, but just stay close to God so that He can reveal to you the purpose of the Thorns. Some may stay and some may be destroyed. No matter what, as you plant, seed and harvest...Be AWARE of the Thorns and Thistles.

Hello Love...

Page 8, Part 2, Chapter 2016 embracing M.E. (My Eve-Olution).  Sitting here reflecting on you.  In awe and appreciation of your power in every area of life.  Recognizing that you have enabled me, (in a good way) with a level of strength beyond my human ability.  Because of you, I am confident that all things will work out for my good.  You have guided and provided, opened and closed, lifted and brought down, wounded and healed, mortified and made alive.  You are amazing.  I just wanted to acknowledge you once again as the source of my strength and the strength of my life.  No one else gets the credit for who I am, no one else would tolerate me, with my flaws and short-comings like you have or like you can, no one else is worthy of all of me except you who has given me all of you.  So, I say with all the passion and tenacity that you have instilled in me hello Love, hello!  Thank you for the of the most abundant life!

Looking back over Turned pages....

As I turn to page 25, chapter 2012, I have taken a moment, just a moment to turn back and review some of the previous chapters.  I look back and am reminded of the miracles I have experienced.  I am reminded of the miracle that I am.  As I look back, just a few chapters, I see an amazing story of a woman kept, a soul saved, a heart committed to the lover there of.  As I look back, I see that on several occasions, I did not understand what was going on at the time of the actual writing, but now, I can see that everything is working together for good.  I read over places where the challenges seemed overwhelming and changes did not make sense, but as I read further, I saw the benefit of each and every trial.  I look back and review the pages of this book, the author is brilliant, the pieces did not seem to fit, but He brought them all together.  Just like a puzzle, I can now see every piece fitly joined together.  I did not notice then...

EXPEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE

Greetings my friends, A great day to be here my sister-friends....it is the seventeenth day of the second month in the year of FULLNESS AND GLORY. I am so blessed to be learning my ABC's along with you. "this is not for wimps". Today, we share E....EXEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE. In this world of "just getting by attitudes", we certainly experience so many mediocre results. I am always encouraged when I realize that being in the image and likeness of God...I should never fail to put forth the efforts that will EXEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE. If I am created in the image of an all-wise, perfect God, who has numbered the hairs on my head...and If He has empowered me with HIM....to fulfill a purpose here on earth. Everything I do, should reflect the perfection and excellence of my creator. I cannot and will not settle for "Just so", I must, we must strive to EXEMPLIFY EXCELLENCE in every area, in every situation, in our talking and walking in our driving and striving...
