There is a God and every person needs HIM..

I pity the person who thinks there is no God, or the person who thinks God is only a crutch for those who are weak. (1) The thought of saying there is no God makes me wonder how does a person get to that conclusion? What a liar satan is. Would it shock everyone to know that God did create satan himself? But, satan wanted to be god so he did the unthinkable by going against God, his Creator? we all know what happened, satan was thrown out of heaven and his ending we already know because Revelations 20 states it. But, then someone might argue how do I know God created satan? well, Revelations 4:11 says, God created everything for His pleasure alone.. to think God is a crutch for those who are weak is alright with me. I don't know what others might think but, I'm glad that I can lean on God all the time, I have no strength to fight the enemy, but God is my Avenger, any battle I fight is HIS. Things that come against me are sometimes too big for me to handle and I just stretch out my arms and cry to Him and He's there. I'm glad there is God, I'm glad that I am His Child and His word says if I believe in His Son Jesus, I will be saved and all my household! I am glad that God is our fortress, our shelter, our God in whom we trust. I am glad that even though He has a busy schedule He always makes time to hear me out and comes to my rescue.

lessons from God's little children

me: whatever...
g-son: don't say that grandma..
me: I'm sorry, if that's what you think
ten minutes later...
me: burped loudly
g-son: excuse me *looking at me with raised eyebrows*
me: excuse me
g-son: you always gotta say excuse me
me: (5 minutes later again-burped)
g-son: (playing with toys and ears wide open) excuse me grandma, always tell you excuse me..
me: where are you going? (he walks over to the case of water on the floor)
g-son: took out bottles of water, opens up the fridge and puts them on the shelf one by one
me: oh, are you putting those in? what a smart boy you are..good job
g-son: I put them in, no more bottles inside (3 adults & 1- 5 yr old )
me: are you hungry?
g-son: I like 3 bread and peanut butter with strawberry
me: are you gonna eat all the 3 bread
g-son: no grandma, 2 for me and 1 for grandpa
me: do you want something else besides bread?
g-son: no that's a lot..(is the Lord teaching me something?)
prays : thank you Jesus for the food, amen.

the noises I appreciate

the sound of birds singing in the morning, the sound of the breezes brushing the leaves of the trees, the baby's cry that always remind us something has changed, the sound of the grand piano playing a lovely piece of classical music, the laughter of children playing, beautiful choral singing and there is this special noise that I really like...it is so unique that, sometimes I miss it because I have too many of the other noises playing... this one has a name to it, the Word of God says it has a color to it too, it's gold. So, what do you call this sound or noise?...It's called, SILENCE!
*********
All the noises I appreciate do not compare to this one, because when all the others are not heard, I will hear the one sound that I want to hear all the time, THE VOICE OF MY GOD!

a hui ho...

Sending out love and peace

making up my mind to do something different...for me, that's like keep sending out love and peace...did you know that some things always look and happen like it did before, maybe 10 years before? Because of that I have decided to work more on sending out love and peace to all...

what can I say?

This morning my son and my grandson arrived home from Japan. It is so nice having them here with us, my grandson speaks fluent English and boy can he talk. My son has matured so much and it's amazing how sometimes we treat them as if they are still our kids and yet they are in their own seasons of life, managing their families as the Lord gives them wisdom and planning their futures as the Lord shows them in his own way. I am so grateful to the Lord, for what I thought I had to help with, they do it a lot better for themselves than I can. What can I say? Maybe the Lord is trying to show me, cut the apron strings and trust the God that I am preaching to them.

love you Jesus...what can I say Holy Spirit?

What have we found in the times of our troubles?

I heard a Pastor spoke on this, in fact this morning and thought to myself, yeah, what have I found for myself during my times of trouble? Well, I came up with this list..or maybe I should say, my eyes were opened to see the Holy Spirit's list about me during those times.
********

• Trouble gave me an experience in what pain is and how to deal with it
• Trouble trained me more in how to pray right
• Trouble made my faith soar to the heavens even on broken wings
• Trouble showed me who my real family and friend is
• Trouble taught me how to really forgive
• Trouble showed me that the faithfulness of God is my Shield
• Trouble showed me that the safest place to be is being sheltered under the feathers of God's wings
• Trouble opened my eyes to see that God's angels are ministering to me and for me always, because they were commanded by God to do so...
• etc, etc, etc......

alright, you can add on to that list...right? a hui ho...pleasant day to you.

can a nation be born in one day?

can a nation be changed in one day? The answer is YES! What takes man many days to build, God can do in 1 hour. What takes man months to plan, has already been planned in God's mind. What takes us to do in many days, God can do in the blink of an eye. *****
**********************
I love the Lord
He is my God
da dee da dee da dee
He is my God
He is my King
He is Christ the Lord!..
(my version)

There is no job so fulfilling

like preaching/teaching the Word of God. I started working in secular jobs when I was about 14, I can honestly say this, although I am grateful to God for the good jobs, none of those jobs can compare with working full-time for God. Someone once said, God is a good paymaster, give him 8 hours or more and he will pay you for that time. Give him 0 hours and the pay will be the same. So, let's work diligently and continue to be F.A.T. for the Lord. F=faithful in big and small things; A=available at all times to do and go wherever and whenever HE wants you to. Hope you have made up your mind as I have mine. Working for God, is preaching the Word and going to be a witness for Jesus Christ.

notes from hinesville, Georgia

It has been a rough trip getting to the state of Georgia. The night we left home to come here, you could almost feel as if the devil was trying to stop us from getting to do what God sent us to do. There was turbulence in the atmosphere and an incident happened in the plane right infront of us. But, although this was going on, God opened a window for us to witness to a young man who was on his way home to Ohio, to see his family before deployment, what a joy it was to share Christ with him. After we prayed for him, we just kept on praying for everyone in the plane as well as for ourselves. I did not realize that we'd lose a day getting to Savannah, I'd be lying if I did not say that it was a long arduous journey. But, I wanted to say that to say this; in the midst of the storm we were in, God calmed the storms in the heart of a precious young soldier, who is about to be deployed, we told him, you are on our prayer list. In the hustle and bustle of the flight crew helping the doctors to treat a passenger, we prayed for someone's healing and God honored our prayer and healed him in mid-air. In the bumpy atmosphere that seemed like it was so long, we leaned more to the wind and trusted our God who sent Him to be our helper and comforter. In the length of the many gates and long and huge airports, we made new friends with total strangers. In the process of trying to get to our hotel and with roadblocks everywhere, until we finally got to (Savea Lane), we saw the most beautiful Church built by Samoans, in the midst of a piece of land approximately 5 acres circumference. I can honestly say, this is one trip I will never forget. Because there is an Obed-Edom who has opened up his arms and said, bring the ark of the Lord to rest at my house. Blessed is the man, who opens his heart and his hands to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Oh yes, I pray that I will be picked sometime again, to come to Ludovici in Liberty County, Georgia.

order in the court

this is not the court like the one we all know, has a judge, jury, bailiff and that, but this is the court of the house of God. My surroundings, I woke up today, first thing, that came to my mind was not good. It was a critical thought about someone, went to prayer meeting, it seemed like it went away because the atmosphere at prayer meeting was so charged with the presence of the Holy Spirit, but, after I prayed that nagging inner feeling was still there and it tasted, bad. Now, it's 4:36pm and I am doing laundry, preparing for this week-end's trip and as I sit down to write what I think, I suddenly thought, order is needed in the court. I was gonna write down a lengthy, thoughtful, religious point about setting order in the court of a godly person, I mean another person but not me, *chuckle*...but, there is that soft nudge of my best bestie as a youth would say, pointing his finger at my face...heeheehee...order is needed in my court.

and my God shall supply all my needs...

today, I finally started to get things ready for the trip to mainland side. It's still cold there so the Lord knew that we need jackets or some kind of sweater, anyway, we were doing something and the Holy Spirit reminded me of family members who have been going to stateside all the time and they have what I need, called them and my nephew said, yes, we do aunty, Praise God! no worries for a warm jacket now, sat around again thought I need some new clothes, waiting till I get to Georgia then, go shopping. This morning, I went through the closet and clothesbin at home and found out I have quite a few clothes I haven't worn in awhile, so, it was a matter of getting to see if they still fit, Praise God! they do, 2-3 good blouses, a couple of mu'us, a couple of dresses, a couple of skirts, basic color of course, and 1 puletasi, I tell you, don't need to spend that much money, now all I gotta get is some booties for my feet & knee highs for my legs, a pair of comfortable walking shoes, my slippahs and I am set. hmmmm, just thought of something, I don't need booties, there are so many white sport socks in my hubby's drawer, I can put that to good use..hahaha! And my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus my Lord! YES!!!!!!!

timing is very important

just got home after attending a beautiful service with the living word of God encouraging and renewing me in many ways. afterwards stopped off at a eatery and had a snack, just thinking though, that during that time while I was enjoying my jello parfait, I heard many plans, not bad ones, so so kind of plans and the kind that I would call, need more of God kind plans. I think as I grow more in the Lord, I am being taught by wonderful teachers of the Word of God, timing is always very important. In saying that, I spoke up and said exactly what I said above, timing is very important. And, PLEASE! put the plans down on paper!!!!!!! hallelujah.
