What does love look like?

  Put everything you have ever been told about love back on a shelf somewhere.   Love is like everything else we have been taught, it is only what has been passed down to us.  Whoever taught us before could only teach us what they have been taught.   
Getting back to the question.  Love is kind, it is not self seeking. Love looks for the best in everything and anybody.  No matter what.  Love does not back bite or gossip.  We have all been in the other persons shoes and some of you reading this may be still there.  That does not mean you have to stay there.  It is a choice made everyday.  I like the Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Jack In The Box

I was thinking about our lives like Jack in the box. When Jack is out of the box he is all smiles and happy go lucky. We are like Jack in the box. It seems like out of nowhere our head gets squished by our circumstances and the cares of this world. Our box is closed and the crank is going. You remember how it works. The music plays and the crank gets tighter and tighter untill Jack pops.

For me personally before I knew about praying in tongues and its transforming power, if what you said came against what I believed I would snap in a heartbeat. Now I can truly say I’ve been transformed into a new person and will continue on the path that God has for me.

I’m thankful for God sending me to Gateway so I can be equipped with the proper tools to handle all life has to throw at me. Even though we have the tools, we don’t always use them. People are turned off by Christians because we are so wound up.If we would ever pray in tongues long enough, we would become a whole new person. Then people would be attracted to us.

Matthew 12:34 says, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Seek and you can find

My grandson has finally got two little teeth. How sweet it is. I can remember when my children got theirs. How soon we sometimes forget those precious moments. Today he started crawling and clapping.

Stand By Me

You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes  2^nd Timothy 1:15

 I found myself in a similar situation I had prayed myself right out of the church I was in.  I struggled with this for weeks before I finally got the nerve to tell anyone. I told my daughter and son first, and they were fine. Actually, they loved it.  Even my mom and dad were fine with it for a day.

After they let what I said sink in, they did not like it one bit.  Before I knew it, they were bombarding me with many reasons as to why I shouldn’t change churches. “It’s too far of a drive. Is it really worth it?” they would say. This is just like when we get a word from Holy Ghost and everything is fine for a day and then all heck comes against you.  I even began to question myself, “I said I would never leave the church I was in”, but I know what God told me. I was having to battle against my flesh and what was familiar to me.

Deep in my heart, I knew I had heard from God, but the voice of the enemy tried to creep into my thoughts during the day. The people who are closest to me.  I prayed myself to a place where I could hear God clearly. It may not have been what I wanted to hear, but it was what I needed to hear at the time to get me where I needed to be.

Once I started proclaiming what God had said to me, there was a boldness that came over me. I had numerous people coming to me saying how much I was needed and appreciated. I said that I understood what she was saying I also went on to say exactly what God had said to me and that He had told me to go to Gateway Believers Fellowship. I looked at her and said God still speaks today and when I said that her head went tilt. People will even get mad at you when you take a stand for God. When you hear the master’s voice, you cannot be swayed. God said he would never leave or forsake you, and He is so faithful to His word. God provided such a peace

Little Arms

This is a picture of my dad and his one of his great grandkids.  There is something about those little arms that want to grab you. Children always bring out the best in me. A child is so precious as you watch them grow and develop. Everything is fresh and new I do wish at times that I could see through a childs eyes and experience the newness of everything again; but for now I will be satisfied just to watch as this little one matures.

My little fellow

New pic of me and my little grandson. Isn't he the cutest thing you ever saw. I know all grammy's must think this. He was checking the camera out. He weights 14 lbs now. This little fellow has held his head up since he come into this world. Makes you wonder what he's going to be when he grows up. 

Baby

My new grandson is getting so big. After minor surgery he is putting the weight on like needs to be.
