While I'm Waiting

Musical Muse: 

"While I'm Waiting" By John Waller

I keep listening to this over and over...hoping and trusting in God.

Praying and holding on to this with every fiber of my being...

"Be still, and know that I am God. 

I will be honored by every nation.

I will be honored throughout the world"- Psalm 46:10

 and 

"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." - Ephesians 3:20 & 21

Because He knows...and I just have to do my part.

Twitter Will Kill You

Life On A Starbucks Cup

"For You created my inmost being; You knited me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place.  When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body.  All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." - Psalm 139:13-16

How awesome is it to know that God has a plan for our lives...He made us with a purpose to fufill.  We each have a different purpose that He gave to each of us individualy, that only we can accomplish.  No one else in the world can fufill what God had ordained you to do!  How awesome is it to know that the creater of the universe can look upon us, and have that attention to detail!  He created the heavens and the earth and yet He loves us so much that He created us individually with great significance and purpose.  So even if you don't see it or understand it; God loves you and thinks you are special. :D

 "As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. - "Ecclesiastes 11:5

Love this verse:

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:11 &12

My Pocket of Sunshine

Oh ! How I've needed this! God Knows... I love how the Lord sends us little reminders like these to keep our head up and remind us that He is in control of everything and will always have our back.  This is another one of the many work emails (Email is below) that I get throughout the day. 

 I love getting these :) They are like little pockets of sunshine from God to make me smile again when all I see is darkness.  He is the light that peeks through the clouds of life.  Much like these pictures that I took on the way to work the other day.  They really made me smile and I knew that it was going to be a good day.  God Bless You!!! :) Enjoy!

Addressing Matters From A Spiritual Perspective

Rev. Sinclair Grey III, M.Div.

Working with people isn't easy. I don't care who you are or what you do, the truth of the matter is that people can get on your nerves and cause you to lose your mind. I've come to discover there are some people in this world whose job is to cause you to act up and act out contrary to who God called you to be. Falling into their trap allows you to play their game and next thing you know, you're messed up, cracked up, and tripping on the dumbest things. Why? Because you've allowed the negative energy of a few people dictate as well as determine your behavior toward others. As my mentor would say, 'don't give people control over who you are and whose you are.'

In this life, I want you to know how you react to people will determine how far you'll go in life. Let me say that again. When people can influence you to act a fool, you need to check who's in control of your emotional well-being. The more you allow others to determine your happiness and/or worth, the more power they have over you. On the other hand, when you learn how to react to people, you'll have the upper hand in the situation. Simply put - when you remain in control, you'll keep yourself focused and committed to doing what God has called you to do. 

In this spiritual journey, you need to know that God expects all of His children to love one another. That's right; you've got to exhibit love to those who can't stand you and are jealous of you. In a real sense, you've got to have the Spirit of God that's on the inside continuously manifesting itself on the outside. Failure to do so will you keep you from experiencing all that God has for you. With God on the inside, you can handle anything on the outside. Just remember, you have the victory and no demon in hell can mess you up. The enemy can try to destroy you with people, but he's already defeated. When you understand the battle, you'll know how to fight it.

In writing to the people of Ephesus , the apostle Paul penned these words, "Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Please don't miss this.. When people are tripping on you, understand it's not the person, but the spirit in the person. (Oops, I said something) To deal with a spiritual problem, you need a spiritual solution. You can't address a spiritual issue with a fleshly solution. It won't work. That's my word for you. The next time you have to deal with someone who's trying to get on your nerves, look at it from a spiritual perspective and address it from that arena. Allow God to order your steps and everything will work out fine.
