Divine Rain

Sometimes the Lord will send rain in the midst of a drought. And sometimes He sends rain just before we faint from the drought. On Friday, March 28, 2008 God sent Divine Rain into the lives of 3 sisters; and we shared a conversation that touched our lives; renewed our faith and gave us strength for our journey. Now I am dedicating this blog to foster and manifest that synergy God created to propel the 3 of us into our destiny's but also to women around the world. You will find weekly devotionals under the heading "Divine Rain". Be blessed as God Rains into your life.

Today's Message:
Jeremiah 29:11
New King James Version

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope".

God is always working behind the scenes to bring each of us closer to our destiny, our purpose. Sometimes it is through our tears, pain, and heartache the greatest vision of our future is found. When that bad relationship ended, when we were rejected, when we were forgotten. God remembered us and set things into motion to bring us the victory. God strategically uses our deepest hurts, fears, and general chaos to clear the way for divine purpose. I encourage you to use your circumstances to draw you closer to God and He will carve your future out of your past. As you surrender to Him peace will find you.

New Beginnings

It's January 2008 and I'm expecting God to continue to move mountains in my life. This is the year of new beginnings; and truly I expect new concepts, friends, opportunities and advancement to come my way. I also expect to have a new revelation of who God is.

Day by Day

God has been good to me. Everyday there is more of Him to discover. God has been handing me one piece of the puzzle of my life each day. The more time I spend thinking about God; the more He reveals to me about myself. I am better for deciding to persue the things of God. In fact, I am honored to be counted among God's Family. Giving my life to Jesus Christ is the only great thing I have ever or will ever do in my lifetime.

Blessed

I have been BUSY. Life is good, God is even better. Where I can start? God has helped me on sooo many different levels of my life! First of all, I have lost 60lbs!!!!! I am 6 dress sizes smaller than I was one year ago. I have been transformed both inward and outwardly. There is a serious connection between spritual balance and physical balance. In other words, since my relationship with God has improved, every area of my life has improved including my health. I have never felt this strong, confident, or stable. My life used to be sooo complicated, but now that I have made Jesus Christ Lord over it, its wayyyy chilled out. Glory be to God!

How did I lose the weight? I started watching what I was eating and working out. Here is the kicker, God gave me the discipline to be able to stay committed to my healthy food choices and exercising. So encourage everyone, be healthy, it all starts with putting God first in all that you do.

New Year, New Attitude

As this brand new year unfolds, I thank God for all the wonderful blessings He has provided for me. My attitude is going to be bold, direct, and uncompromising this year and always. For too long I have lived in the shadows of everyone's opinion. Its my time now and I'm going to live my life 1. To Please God and 2. Not let anyone take advantage of me.

Waiting, listening, waiting

Its a very delicate process to wait, listen, and wait for the Lord's response to a request. I'm asking God for direction in my life, in all areas of my life. I wasn't really a patient person until this particular timeframe. I have always been a person who pretty much followed my own advance and my own objectives. Now, I'm following Jesus Christ; the challenge is to surrender my own personal will and goals for His. In a time and age where everything is accessible at breakneck speeds, its important to STOP and consult the Father before I make any rushed decisons. Ultimately what I am saying is, I believe its imperative to yield my entire life to the authority of the Holy Spirit. So today I continue to wait, listen, and wait.

When God Shakes things up

I know I talk alot about how God has changed my life and how I'm a much happier person now that I have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Today I'm thinking about how I come to this place. Everything started when God shook my life up. I had to face myself. Once I faced myself, then it was time to face God. Once that happened, it was impossible for me to remain the same. So I could say..once God shook my life everything changed. I could also say, God redecorated my life. He took the pain and the misery and turned it into peace and joy. He took the sin and the strife and replaced them with righteousness and respect for Him and His Word. God is merciful and faithful. I urge you today to change your life, end the sin and live for Him.
