Siesta Momma encouraging us to memorize The Word.

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

The Wisdom fo King Solomon

Proverbs 16:32
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

New Year's Resolution

I read about the SMART way to make goals.
S.M.A.R.T.
Specific (I will memorize 2 scriptures a month.)
Measurable (Can you visibly see the goal being obtained?)
Attainable (Cure world hunger-is WAY to big of a problem to complete in a year)
Realistic (Gathering donations and a food drive to help local shelters can be accomplished)
Time (Set a date-Monitor Yourself-If you have a friend who would be your accountability partner in this one area)(I tend not to tell, because I don't want anyone to know if I failed-but not this year-accountability)
My prayer is this
"In agreement with God's Word that says God has plans for me to give me 'a future and a hope,' (Jeremiah 29:11) I ask that God will keep a holy fire burning in me to accomplish his will in what he has called me to do, I agree with Isaiah 43:18-19 "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?" I will 'redeem the time' during this year. I fully understand that all goals are subject to change as I listen to his leading and remove my wants and desires. By His help these dreams of my heart shall become reality-I Love the Lord, I am thankful that every new year when I self reflect and I desire to grow as a follower of Christ-he doesn't change-he isn't making a new resolution-He has got this all together. How Awesome is he!!!"
I have a friend, She is called to teach-she is awesome, A Praise and Worship leader-You can see how she enjoys worship, She teaches while leading us in Worship. She can accomplish 50 tasks a day and I celebrate her gifts in Christ, what amazes me about her mostly is that she doesn't see it. It is my prayer and my goal this year is for all of us to discover the value of who we are in Christ. I am very thankful for her and her willingness to persevere and open herself up to share. God Bless my sister this year... and you.

3 John 1:4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
KJV

Doing what you've always done-Gets you what you've always got

Wow, time has a way of getting by you quickly. I hope this day finds you in a good place. I received and email this morning from a friend of over 20 years, her sister is in this hospital, She has battled cancer and it is back and she is having some other difficulties today. My friend asked for prayer of her sister because she said she has no one, no one, no husband, no children, no boyfriend, no friends there, just her parents and my friend, her sister. The sister is a very successful woman-VERY successful and she is all alone. Isn't that just senseless-one prayer away from having the only one who matters there. Jesus, my savior, my very best friend, more than a husband, more than anyone could have the audacity to think that they could stand in representation of. I do not know what I would do without Christ- I just don't. I have had people in my life let me down, at some point in my life everyone has disappointed me and I am sure I have them...What I can say is he has never done that-Quite the opposite he impresses me day after day. He listens to me and he answers to my call. He is my intercessor and my way maker. In Numbers the 18th chapter-The Lord said to Aaron, "You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelite's." He is our inheritance he is my share my portion nothing of this world... Please don't live a day with out him...there isn't a need for you or I or anyone else to go through life with out, "No one being there" you never have to be alone... Give Christ a chance...I have found -
If you do what you have always done- You will get what you have always got. Is it time for a change...Do you desire for something different? In my Joy and in my sadness he is there with me and he is the one I want to share it with first. I pray that you will find time to enjoy your cup of coffee today with the Lord... He is anxiously awaiting ....
