Good Morning

Good Morning Family...Thank God for a good nights sleep. Praying for you all this morning, asking God to let your day begin and end well. Feeling thankful and blessed this morning. Up thinking about the progress my family and friends are making this year. Every day is another opportunity to implement change. Another chance to let go of those dangling "life" strings that serve no purpose. Another day to do something different, to let go of what isn't right. I'm so thankful for "change". I pray that we all continue moving forward, embracing who we are but not holding on so tight that we can't move or breathe, I pray that we allow our mistakes to make us better and prepare us for what's to come. I ask Him to continue filling our hearts with compassion for our families/friends and strangers. I pray for healing of our bodies and minds. I thank God for peace and love. I thank Him for this life that He allows us to live. I thank Him for showing me/you how easy life can be if we only "believe" and trust His word, live His word. I thank Him for filling my/our hearts with laughter. I thank Him for the courage to shed tears because everyone needs a good cry sometimes. Lastly, I thank Him for confirmation that I'm finally getting it right, not perfect, but right. TeamGettingThere..Bblessedloveyou...Psalm 118 vs 19-29

Focus On Me

Good Morning Family...I hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend. The weather in Jax was beautiful. Looks like a lot of people attended the Jazz Fest and loved it. As we get back to work or whatever we do, please remember to give it 100%. Try not to complain about the amount of work you do or the responsibilities you've taken on. I have to take my own advice today, "don't worry about what everyone else is doing, focus on you". We have to remember that everyone is different. I ask that we keep our peers in our prayers. Understanding that people are people, standing around talking about their short-comings behind their backs won't help them. I ask God to forgive me for anything comment that I've made about anyone. I ask the same for you. I thank Him for another opportunity to share and gain knowledge. I ask that He be our guide at work and home. Let us not stand in judgement of those who feel are not carrying a full load. Please understand that we sometimes judge prematurely, not seeing or knowing what's going on in another person's life. Also know that someone may be judging your work as well, so focus on your desk....TeamDoingMyJob...Bblessedloveyou...Samuel 29 vs 18-25

Good Morning

Hope everyone is having wonderful Sunday morning. I'm can't describe how I'm feeling. Ever feel a certain way but can't seem to put your finger on what it is or what's behind it? That's where I am this morning but I know it'll pass soon. Thanking God this morning for family, friends and peace this morning. Asking God to continue watching and caring for us. His incredible love for us is so undeserving but I'm so glad He chose me/us. Keeping our eyes on Him is so important because one look away can bring insecurity and doubt, hurt and pain, bad decisions and short cuts. Staying in His word enables us to see past our hurts/pains, loss/regret. His word tells us that He will protect us from our enemies and give us the courage to forgive them. This morning I ask God to give us what we need, give us enough to provide for others and I ask Him to show us how to use what He provides wisely. Praying that my attention be on Him as opposed to my short comings or the short comings of others. Thanking Him for those things I understand and those I don't. Also praying for those who are in a dark place this morning, asking Him to be a guiding light in their time of need. Finally, thanking Him for rest/renewed spirits. Living isn't always easy but following His word reminds me that I am blessed beyond measure. Thanking Him this morning...so thankful...AMEN....TeamGettingPastFeelings...1st Samuel vs 4-22

Praying For So Many

Good Morning Everyone...Looking forward to this three day week. Praying that we all have a good time and be safe. Thanking God for waking us, keeping us in our right minds. There are so many that didn't wake this morning, so many that weren't able to get out of bed, so many living with jealousy/anger that they can't focus on what God is providing them, so many without homes or a place to lay their heads, so many who took their own lives or contemplated doing so, so many without family/friends who love them, so many who live in fear of what the day will bring. Praying for the "so many", asking God to grant them peace and favor. Praying for the souls of those who have gone on. Praying that we all understanding the favor God has shown us. Praying that our love for each becomes stronger as well as our faith in God. Giving Him all the honor and praise for where He's brought us from and for where He's taking us. Asking that each of you receive healing where it's needed. Feeling blessed and highly favored..AMEN...TeamPrayingForSoMany...Bblessedloveyou..Psalms 115 vs 1-18,

Restore Me

Good Morning Family...Thinking about and praying for you guys this morning. These words keep playing in my mind "clean this house, restore me, clean this house, take away my impurities." Very nice song by Isaac Carree. While I was listening to it this morning, I had feelings of guilt. Thinking about my yesterday, did I say the right things, did I say the wrong things, was I supportive, did I laugh at the wrong time, did I let my "light shine" or was it dim? Asking God to forgive me of my short comings and you as well (if you had/have any). Asking God to restore anything I've lost, mentally/physically. Thanking Him for the opportunity to start again. Giving Him the glory and the honor this morning for where we are and where we're going. Thanking Him for healing hurt/broken relationships. Praising Him for allowing us to see who our enemies are and for putting on our hearts to forgive and understand them. Asking Him to give us all "clean hearts" so we can serve better. Extremely thankful for my family/friends and network of support. Asking Him and them to forgive me if I've been short or shown a lack of interest in their needs. Lastly, praying for the leaders in my family and yours, on my job and of this world. Asking God to help them remember who they are in Christ, ensuring their focus is not on this world but on the Lord for we know when we take our eyes off God, we loose our way.

Disasters

Good Morning Family....Sending prayers to our OK family members and to all the residents of that state. Loss of this magnitude is devastating and when you factor in the children it feels worse. I hope each of you are paying attention to how often these tragic events are occurring. If your life is not in order, this should really make you think about your current commitments, living situations, relationships and most importantly, your spiritual life and relationship with God. We watch and listen to devastating news, feeling sad and shedding a few tears but as soon as we walk away or the broadcast ends, we're back to our old selves. Please don't take what's happening "around" us for granted. These attacks and natural disasters could very well be in our back yard. It's only by the grace of God that we are given another chance. Another day to prepare, another opportunity to get our "house" in order. This morning I pray that we all take what's happening seriously, I pray that we get our lives in order, I pray that anyone causing or inflicting pain on others make amends and ask God for forgiveness, I pray that God watches over and protects us during storms and I pray that we each honor Him by changing, disposing of our bad habits and living a life that is pleasing to Him.....TeamYouSeeItHappening....Psalm 112 vs 1-10

Message To A Friend

no problem...I have a few struggles of my own...focus on what's good and accept that there are going to be struggles. There's a song called "The Good and the Bad"...(I think)...It's by J Moss. A beautiful song that simply thanks God for loving us through the good and the bad. What we must learn to do is take the bad times with the good and move through our issues without complaining. Sometimes our problems aren't as bad as they seem. Then there are times that we create our own drama. God keeps showing us a way out but we choose to sit in defeat because we're afraid or because it's what we've always done. My prayer for you and me is that we recognize God sent opportunities, that we honor Him by following His word, that we be obedient, that we keep our eyes on Him and not this world, that we not live selfishly, that we be the people that He's called us to be, that we serve and protect as opposed to being self-serving and uncaring. Life is to short to live in misery. Life is to short to always be distracted by pain and annoyance. Life is to short to focus on finances when we know we're not doing the right thing with what He's already given. Life is to short to let "man" lead us astray with "honey" soaked words. Life is to short to allow every day to be sad. We must program our minds by reading/understanding God's word. He is so good to us and wants us to LIVE.....Praying for you and me this morning....TeamHowIGetOver....Bblessedloveyou
