My word for July 18th is BLOCK
I love writing this page. It is what keeps me going in life, besides my family. I begin every morning with the
Lord. I read scriptures, read
bible stories, and listen to the news.
A spark almost always ignites and a writing piece is written. I love sharing with others and
hopefully helping someone who is down and out or having a bad day. Face book has allowed me to connect
with people all over the world. It
has allowed me to share my life and ask for prayers for others. It gives me a purpose and everyone
needs a purpose. Face book has
been my lifesaver. Probably the
best button of all is the block button.
When I began this page I wasn’t going to block anyone. I said to myself, “The Lord doesn’t
want me to block anyone, that would be rude and that isn’t what Jesus would
do”. However, I don’t think Jesus
would want me to be bullied either.
I have only had to block one person. This person accused me of being a copycat and a self-proclaimed
apostle. I will say I am a
copycat, but I also have my masters in reading, so therefore I know a little
bit about citation. I always put
the reference on the bottom portion of my writing and of course when sharing a
picture it shows up where the picture came from. The other pictures I have taken myself or I have gathered
them from Google images, in which I love.
As for being an apostle, I laugh to myself. I am a diamond in the rough. I am learning and I love learning. I am researching and reading everyday God words and God’s
stories. I have gone to church my
whole life and have been in bible studies, but now I am really engaged in all
of it. I ask questions about the Bible
all the time. My Bible study
teacher gets tired of my phone calls and questions. I am making connections and understanding things that I
never have before. It is all a
blessing.
Doesn’t God want us to share? Doesn’t God want us to help others? As Joyce Meyer said, “Our mess is our
message”. Joyce even has a daily
devotion in her daily book called “The Wounded Healer. Those of us who have suffered are the
best people to help those who are suffering. This is my mission and this is my purpose. I am here to help others. To help those who need help pressing
on. To give others hope. To lead
others closer to the Lord. I know
with everything I have dealt with that without the Lord I couldn’t have done
it. Without hope, given to me
through reading his word, my family would have been crushed. Without people and their
books like Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, Beth Moore, and Tannia Winston life
wouldn’t make sense. I would
not be where I am today without God, friends, family, and prayer.
I refuse to deal with peace stealers. I am putting on my
heart~shield with God. So devil,
back up buck o!! You get the block button!
Romans 5:3-5(NIV)
3 Not only so, but we[a] also glory in our sufferings, because we know
that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character,
hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured
out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Leviticus 19:18 ESV
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the
sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the
Lord.
Dear Lord thank you for being here for us in all situations. Thank You for lifting us up when the
devil attacks and tries to push us down.
With You by our side the devil has no chance. It is difficult when
people speak negatively with the tongue, but with the Holy Spirit living within
us we can turn the negative into a positive. During 2012 we give You the thumbs up
God, while Satan gets the block button.
