Morning Tears

When I prayed about something 3 months ago. I saw an image in my head that explained an answer to that prayer. But the image also warned me that things were about to get pretty rough.. a month later, God lead me to the bible verse that matched the image exactly.. Isaiah 43:2.. I was SOOO excited. Everything is so much more solid when you have word and experience lining up together. And things were getting rough... recently..I have been feeling tremendous external pressure.. so this morning.. I open my prayer book just randomly to the middle.. said the prayer on the page.. and guess what verse it ended with.. yep Isaiah 43. It made me cry (I'm such a softy). You see? He is right beside me, so close that He reads over my shoulder, whispers in my ear.. places images in my mind. . He holds me when I'm lonely, and breaths on me when I'm sick. He watches me when I work out.. and gives me strength when I fight. He protects my children, sets guards all around them, and keeps them healthy. He protects my finances and makes sure I have all my heart desires. Every detail, I ask for new clothes, I find the most amazing sales, so I can buy what I need within my budget. I want to give gifts to friends, He shows me the VERY best gifts.There is no detail too small for Him. I don't think any single mother should go without having the Holy Spirit in their lives. I can't even imagine a single day without saying good morning and feeling Him by my side. I roll out of bed, straight to my knees and say "good morning, my love". That's the start of the most beautiful adventure called a day that exists.

“ Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
3 For I am the LORD your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; ~Isaiah ~43:2

I just want to thank you for the prayer. I had a young lady email me today and said, she needed that.

Even if i help just one person, that's a blessing to me.

God put you in my life and I thank him.

Tough Mind and Tender Heart by Martin Luther King

SERMON: A Tough Mind And A Tender Heart, by Martin Luther King, Jr. Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16) A French philosopher said, “No man is strong unless he bears within his character antitheses strongly marked.” The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites. Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self-assertive humble. But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony. The philosopher Hegel said that truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis that reconciles the two. Jesus recognized the need for blending opposites. He knew that his disciples would face a difficult and hostile world, where they would confront the recalcitrance of...

AS I SEEK

By Cherstin Jagger Mendez I seek within the ebb and flow, In every attempt for my heart to grow. I lean into the winds to see what they say. Hoping it’s secrets, it will give away. How do you live a life to the fullest? How do you push yourself beyond….? The lead weights on my feet telling me I can’t go, Due to my age or life, without much to show. For the potential within me fights every day to get out! For the voice in my heart says I can not do without … Without the land beneath my feet, Without the sound of the trees in the wind. Without the buds that bloom and tell me there’s hope, Without the love that flows from beyond my scope. Without the connection that reminds me that I’m alive, Without your heartbeat here by my side I seek again for what I cannot see. I seek again for what’s found inside of me. I seek again for the strength to persevere, As I walk among those that this world does fear …. DEDICATED TO TDCJ CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS

The List

January 26th 2009 (After coming back from Costa Rica & Feeling a tremendous sense of Male Lose) I just came back from burying my dad. For my own protection and in a blatant attempt to "outwit" God, I have made a list of the ideal and only man that I will ever consider for marriage. Since the odds of him existing is slim to none, I thereby conclude that I will be on my own from here on out. THE LIST 1. Love God/ have an intimate Relationship with Jesus Christ 2. Blonde Hair & Blue Eyes (I have always loved these traits, but never had them love me back) 3. A GENTLE man 4. Character: Honest, self-confident, patient, trustworthy. 5. Love to Dance (good luck finding that one, Lord; especially at my age) 6. Not threatened by a strong woman 7. Believes that marriage is 2 independent people partnering together; not expecting me to be molded in to the image of him. 8. NEVER jealous of my relationship with Jesus 9. Encourages my spiritual activity 10. Love to travel and have a ...
