Morning Ladies,

How's everyone this lovely morning?

It's going to be a short 4 day week this week, because monday was a stat holiday, but will be a very busy at work. Which is good news, because it's getting busy again. The day is going to be very hot day with a temp reaching a high of 28 degrees this afternoon. Got to get out those sunglasses.

Have a blessed day!!!

Tammy thanks for the scriptures on Love. Isn't just amazing how much God Loves us. Since I became a Christian I can see how God is refining me and making me the Women he wants me to be. I have so much Love in my Heart that my cup runneth
over... God is Good, God is Great, but most of all God is Love. Do we really understand all the Love he has for us??? In our every day lives, we take so much for granted. Lets think and dwell into our Hearts, the Love that God gave us. Smile, and make someone's day a Happy One!!!!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hi. Not much going on with me today.
Trying my best to stay on track with my eating but its still so hard for me, I feel like I am fighting a losing battle at times with it.
I need to lose this weight so bad so my knees willhopely beging to feel better from all this arthritis in them.
See ya later. The dryer just buzzed so I need to go fold clothes so they won't wrinkle, sure do not want to have to iron them.

Hi Ladies,

How goes it? Rejoice with me!!! Today while having an ice cap at Tim Horton's, I noticed that I can just make out my own hand writing, from a note I had written, while resting my hand on the table. I believe that I'm beginning to read a little and soon I will be seeing clearly. By faith and with the confession of my mouth, I'm believing that I am healed in the mighty name of Jesus, amen!!! Thankyou Jesus!!!

Godsbeloved, glad you had a great time in Orlando. Is that Orlando, Florida? I've never been, but I would love to visit there on a holiday. he he.

Patty Ann, I agree. That's the Challenge!!! To praise the Lord while we're working or whatever we're doing in the day. To reflect the glory of God in everything we do,

Mary, God is doing a good work in you. Keep praising him on a daily basis, thanking him for all he has done for you and if you have to forgive someone for hurting you, forgive them and the God of peace will be with you. I really believe that, because many people have hurt me in the past and God had to deal with my heart before he could bless me. Hope this helps.

Here's some scripture to reflect on:

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, [sisters in Christ], whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or recieved or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-8 NIV.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:29-31 NIV.

"Is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of Praise. Is anyone of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:13-16 NIV.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, fo this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-23 NIV.

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so decieve yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like." James 1:23 NIV.


You'll have a blessed night!!!

Hi Ladies,

Stopping by to share some love and blessings . I managed to get all caught up with my work after being off for three days . It's great to be back to work, and needed. I know I have a greater job to do and that is to WIN souls, I'm on that job daily...it never ends .

Tammy - We went to Orlando FL. Hope you get a chance to go one day.

Hi Patty,

Disney is awesome, and it's extra special to travel with family .

We chose to go to Disney Blizzard Beach to get wet .

Just wanted to see what everyone is up to today. I have been trying to clean house some, washing some bathroom mats right now but had to sit down and rest, my knee is hurting me to stand on it to much.

Hope you all have a great afternoon.

Good Morning...

Just a quick run through. Girls the itching was so bad last night that I didn't get much sleep. I have tried and tried over and over again to find the cause without any success. It is just going to have to be God to get me through this. I have fought this terrible itching for over 5 years now, and I have given up trying to find the cause. I sure could use your prayers. Thanks, and have a wondrful day...

Morning Ladies,

Godsbeloved, thanks. God BLess You!!!

Patty Ann, our family planned to go to disneyland when I was 15, then couldn't. I was so disappointed, but now that I'm an adult it doesn't bother me.

Diana, yes, we should praise the Lord at all times!!!

Mary, take care.

"I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord and he hear me, and delivered me from all my fears." Psalm 34:1-5 KJV.

You all have a great day in the Lord!!!

Good Morning!

Patty, can you pin point what you ate or drank that was the same that is causing you the itching? You may be allergic to wheat, nuts, vinegar, or dairy? Maybe you can do some research in the internet.
I pray you will get some relief Honey!!

Hi Tammy, how are you doing? Glad to hear that your eyes are getting better and that you can read a little more too!! Little by little Sweetie!!

Hi godsbeloved, sounded like a fun time you had in Orlando! I've never been there, but from what I hear, it's wonderful!! Did you take some pictures, that would be fun to see!!

Hi Mary, I hope that you're doing well this morning. I know that you're going through alot, but just remember that our Lords grace is sufficient enough, and each day makes us stronger because He is IN us.


Love Ya!

Diana I have had many tests done and they couldn't find what is causing it. I can't elimante food because the itching starts at different times. Nothing showed up on the food tests that is bad enough for me to do without. The only thing I have done different is added Coconut Oil to my diet and that may be it. I am going to leave it off tomorrow. The bad thing is that it takes five days for stuff like that to get out of your system. We had to go to Shreveport tomorrow for Henry to see a back Dr. so I pray that the itching stops by then. Thanks for your prayers...

Patty, are you sure its food thats causing the itching? I once had a itch problem to and thought it may have been food but later I found out it was a fabric softner I was using when I dried my clothes in the dryer. It was a name brand to not the cheapo kind.
The itch went away when I stopped using it but it took a week or so. I had to re-wash all my clothes and get the softenr out of them.

Mary I have tried everything. I given up everything just about from time to time. The Dr. told me not to use fabric softner in my clothes and I haven't use it for a long time now. No it is nothing that I am eating, but it could be the coconut oil. I can't take supplements of any kind. I am allergic to the fillers in them... Only God knows what is causing this. I have been to two allergists and one dermatologist...

Patty I hope you find what you are allergic to. What do you use on the itch?
Have you ever used that oatmeal bath that you soak in?
I had some orniment my doctor gave me when I was itching so bad, it was a prescription but I cannot remember the name of it.



______________________________
"I Woke Up This Morning"

I woke up this morning
with Jesus on my mind;
I slowly opened my eyes
to see what I’d find.

Ah! The sun is shining
the dew is on the grass,
I must surrender quickly
before another moment has passed.

I must Thank my Heavenly Father
for yet another day;
I must surrender to Him
so I live it entirely His way.

I must seek His guidance
so I know exactly what to do,
I must ask for discernment
to recognize what’s true.

I must claim Exodus four and twelve
so the words I say are right,
His words always bring so much delight.

I must yield my every thought
hope and desire,
I must tell Him it’s His aspirations
for me that I too desire.

I must give God control
of my each and every limb,
seeking this day only
to bring honor and glory to Him.

I must surrender my every action
and my reactions too,
because He always knows
what’s best for me to do.

I must count my Blessings
every single one I see;
they are constant reminders of
how much God loves me.

I must share with others
what God has done,
explaining He offers them the same
through His Precious Son.

I woke up this morning
being given yet one more day;
I must through God’s grace
live it the right way!
