Good NIght

Today was a really wonderful day. Last day for students, so you know I was thrilled.

Then I had student workers help me clean out most of my classroom.

The march was really very spiritual. It was great to see so much support. When we come together its amazing the power and force we can have. The community came out to march, to support and to gawk. But I believe we touched their hearts and I pray that the coffins send the message. All life is precious. I am so glad you were supported by the leaders of this city. I was really happy about that. Look at you, you had a good day. Our silent voices were heard loud and clear.

I just wanted to say hello and good night. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Good Morning. Thank you for today. Thank you for another wonderful, beautiful day. I am here and I have a chance to do something right. It's been a while since I had an early morning entry but I hope I can keep it going.

This morning I want to encourage and uplift myself and you. I believe that my words are important and so are yours. Its important to stay strong and to believe in yourself. You have a right to be a champion for those who cant speak for themselves. Keep the Faith. Remember foolish talk by others and our selves is just that foolish talk. Intent is important. Your intentions are always to give insight, uplift and inform. Have a blessed day today and be a blessing to someone special.

Proverbs 17-18

Where I was today

Not that you care or are concerned but I was at home with the baby. He has been sick this week and he had a bit of diarrhea today so since I was babysitting today, as I do on all Sundays, I didn't take him into church because I would have to contend with a sick baby with diarrhea. I did call you tonight and I let the phone ring for a very long time. No answering service, no answering machine, just ring, ring, ring. Maybe you have caller ID and can see that I did call. I hope you do.

I will try again. Take care and be blessed tonight and always.

THE END OF THE ROAD

Something that always happens to me is that I am in need of a prayer. I pray in this journal for God to remember me, to help me and to love me. Religion is not on my mind. That was a tool to help me find God. Without my faith in God, I cannot and will not make it. I will not be able to pray my hate away for those who have oppressed me. I will not be able to pray my hate at those who make the one I love unhappy. I will not be able to pray my hate away for those who hate me and what I stand for.

I am at the end of my road. I am chasing a relationship that seems unreachable. I am just a woman. A regular, middle aged woman. A woman who is in love. Have I placed you on a pedestal? Do I believe you are great and wonderful and above all men. God I hope so because I cannot and will not have a man that I cannot look up to. Is that too much for you to handle. I don't know. Do I believe that you are a veritable man, one capable of mistakes and very human, I do believe you are a man. One who is sensitive and loving and who is being treated very unfairly right now. You have given the will to love again and I believe that you are sincere. How do we move forward. That's my dilemma? So Psalm 137 is what I have been reading.  I love you.

Words Are Powerful

The power of life and death are in the tongue and God said we would eat the fruit of it.

Show me to me.

Sunday and Tuesday just is not enough.

With the help of the Holy Spirit and by your grace alone, I will not let any unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building up others according to their needs and to enrich them and benefit them. Words are so important. A careless word can harm or accomplish so much. What are the words Lord. What are the words that heal and create an atmosphere of calm. What are the words.

Put My Trust in God

What experiences in my life have led me to put my trust in God? Every thing I do and everything I say. I am doing things with only the faith and love of God. I have decisions to make and not a lot of time to decide. I have to trust God with my life and my circumstances. The "what if" becomes my ability to trust in God for my future and for my well being. Thank you God for my future. Thank you for everything you have done in my life and everything you will do in my life. Thank you God for taking control of my life. Guiding me and loving me. I love you. I wait patiently for the Lord. As I have objections and reservations the Lord calms my fears.

I wait patiently for the Lord;

He turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock

and gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear

And put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:1-3

Developing Healthy Friendships

Lord, Lord, Lord. Why does an man who knows the truth continue to exaggerate the lie? When something that was done innocently is misconstrued and exploited, especially by people who are suppose to be within your circle of friends, family and associates turn on you , what are you suppose to think. Dear God help us to develop healthy relationships. Friends who encourage us and who fellowship with us and who provide companionship when we are in need. Let us know that the source of love, companionship and friendship is really within us. It is your love  and friendship that is expressed in our relationship with the Body of Christ.

Iron sharpens Iron, so friends sharpen the mind of each other. Leave positive and encouraging things in our friends. As we learn from each other let it be the worthy purpose that you have given us. Keep us balanced so that we will always seek to please you Lord rather than pleasing others. Give us divine connections, good friendships and the courage and grace to let go of detrimental friendships. We as and receive faith to develop healthy relationships. Your word says that two are better than one, tow are better than on, when one fails there is someone to lift them up. We need to lift up and encourage each other. Father God you know our hearts and the hearts of the people in our lives. Allow us not to be deceived by bad friendships that corrupt and do not have good morals for our lives and situation. Thank you for building strong character within us. Character that draws us closer to you Lord. Help us to be a better friend to our good friends.  To laugh with those who need to laugh and to rejoice with those that need to rejoice, and to weep with those that need to weep. Teach me to be a good and loyal friend. A quality friend. Develop a fun personality in me. One that has a good sense of humor and relaxing to be around. Allow me to be myself. I am a fun person. Instruct my heart and mold my character so that I may be faithful and trustworthy in my relationship. Continue to send me into a good life. Father God, I know that Your Son is My Real Best Friend. I know that he sticks closer than a brother. Jesus defines the standard for all friendships and love.

"Greater love hath no man than this, than a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Thank you Lord that I can trust you and in trusting you I can trust myself. My need for my friends to be true, honest and loyal keeps me submissive to you. I submit the leadership to the Holy Sprit. Thank you Lord for your Love.
