*Never Never make a BIG decision in a crisis, you are not thinking clearly....wait till you know what to do, it will come and in peace as you hear again with clarity.

*It's not about how you feel. WE ALL don't feel like doing the right thing some or a lot of the time....Just DO IT! Do what you know is right, what the bible says to do and your emotions will eventually catch up with your obedience. Trust me your heart will change.

*Pray for those people that you most loathe..LOL.....you won't loathe them anymore!!! but love them as God gives you His heart for them. Prayer is one of the greatest weapons against our flesh..Pray the very best for their lives, pray everytime you think a less than great thought towards that person....It works everytime!Bless those who curse you, who do eveil against you, who are your enemies...do it in praying for them, God's heart for them.

*Stop being overwhelmed by 'temptations,' trials and life....It's not 'There'..Stop expecting life to be void of 'them' all...It's how you respond to it all that matters most. It's your actions; your response. These adversities will always be 'there', in some form or another till we leave this earthen sod.....why so shocked by it? It's not going away...just turn in an upward direction as you worship Him with every choice you make.

*Learn to shake off the 'snake bites.' Paul Did and was unmoved...He didn't stop...unparalyzed, unaffected.... not distracted, kept moving forward. By grace you will shake them off faster and faster.

*When someone calls you and asks you to do something and you don't have an immediate Yes in your heart, don't feel you need to give them an answer. You don't! Tell them you'll call them back or call them the next day. Pressured to give an answer? Don't be, get off the phone and consider THEN.

*You don't need to explain yourself. Stop explaining yourself NOW!Take comfort in knowing it is really only God that truly knows your heart. It is His approval alone that we seek, we will never be misunderstood by Christ.

*It's OK to say NO. It's actually very liberating UNLESS you are saying No for the sake of saying No..LOL

*Unsure/Shakey about something?....consider your responses BEFORE you have to so you are prepared.

When Patriotism Becomes Worship and We Don’t Even Notice

  https://baptistnews.com/article/when-patriotism-becomes-worship-and-we-dont-even-notice/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLYuSdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHp_DyT3kMbTGShsQLE2CBHujma7IgZdGW2mWRBFeeU8lOUruC4WCj1vgEFFL_aem_U7lr3050XPUiM7WLAs0pJg “When Patriotism becomes Worship and we don’t even notice.” So grateful to find this article I sort of think it found me laugh a lot. What other people do is none of my business but for years I’ve been wrestling with some of the trends and level of politics and patriotism within the church. . But this article speaks my language it resonates with my spirit and shares my concerns. So for now, all Is at rest and Jesus He’s The only answer. Maybe someone out there feels the same way I do. I hope this post finds you and this article encourages your heart like it did mine. You aren’t crazy  Pray 🙏 That’s why you see it the way you do. 

Thank You Lord !

  https://firmfoundationpv.org/worship-103-genre-and-style-in-church-music/ Lord you answered all my questions, Thank You. You Counsel us with Your loving eye upon us. Psalm 32:8 I remember many years ago when The TV show American Idol began. One of the finalists shared kind of an awkward song well it just sort of seemed out of place. It was unfamiliar , extremely personal, beautiful, but it really fell flat. He even sang it like he was sort of alone in the room and we were all just watching his personal  moment. It left me just sitting there scratching my head. When  he finished it was then time for the judges to give their input. Simon Cowell really shockingly scolded him and said that his choice of music was “self-indulgent. “ What does he mean by that ? I thought about it Took me a while I think I know what he meant and I never forgot it. He forgot who he was singing to he forgot he had an audience. It wasn’t only about him, but who he was singing to and for. …….,so m...

Cheryl's FaceBook Quote

"Dark is life's way, for the night is not yet o'er; the longed-for glimpse I may not meanwhile borrow; But, this I know, He goeth on before." All our supply is to come from the Lord. Here are springs that shall never dry; here are fountains and streams that shall never be cut off. Here, anxious one, is the gracious pledge of the heavenly Father. If He be the source of our mercies they can never fail us. No heat, no drought can parch that river, “the streams whereof make glad the city of God.
