Feeling Confident
Hearing MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES
DIVINE INSPIRATION
Thank you Connie for this tag. lol
i have had some very nice comments about my entries lately. i would like to thank those readers for their encouragement.
There are two people that I need to give credit to for being my inspiration, God and my friend Connie.
lately I have thought that I would not do my journal , I just felt all my strength was gone.
Then Connie will send me a tag that is so beautiful I will say to myself" I need to write something worthy of this tag".
At other times I sit at my keyboard and I have no idea what I will write about. And suddenly God will just speak through me and my two fingers fly across the keyboard. thats right I type with two fingers. I never learned to type proficiently If God could use moses and Moses stuttered , it is not beyond His power to use me, who never learned to type. lol
. After I have done the entry I will browse through all the work my Connie has contributed and there I will find just the perfect graphic for my entry. The next day Connie may even say that she doesnt know why she sent that particular one and almost changed her mind about sending it.
The scriptures that I chose just come to my mind. I have to go to my Bible and make sure I am recording them correctly though. This is added assurance that no matter how bad I feel or how distracted I am I will open my Bible each day.
Somtimes as I listen to the different teachings that I follow on t.v. a scripture will appeal to me and I will grab a scrap of paper and jot it down. Often it will come in useful for my very next entry as if God sent it to me for that purpose!
My friend Mort is very perceptive. He commented that my writing seems to have gotten better through all the trouble I have just been through with my children. It is at these times that God speaks to me the most. I turn my thoughts to Him and ask for his wisdom , guidance and comfort.I suspend my own will and get in line with His plan for my life.
Later I will go back and read my entries and see what God is trying to say to me and through me.
Joyce Meyer teaches on generational curses. I don't know if my mother was a Christian , if she knew Jesus died for her. Chances are good that my father, being an American , was a Christian. I made sure that my children knew that I claimed my salvation by Christ crucified. Those of you who grew up in Christian homes are so blessed.
Jentzen Franklin said that he did not know what it was like to grow up without a father's love. He was speaking into the lives of those who were fatherless, to point them to the heavenly father, I am in that crowd. Thank heavens I claimed my birthright as a child of God long ago.
Thank you Mama for bringing me to America and taking me to church where I could learn about Jesus.!
Today Connie sent me the above graphic. Lord only knows what He is trying to tell me today if He sent that to inspire me! lol
But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. {Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 7}
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measure themselves by them selves, and comparing them selves among themselves are not wise. { in other words they approve of themselves by their own standards and not God's}
But we will not boast of things without our measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto YOU. {II Corinthians chapter 10 verses 12-13}
But he that glorieth , let him glory in the Lord.
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. { verses 17-18}

I like your entry June, I like your honesty and not trying to sugar coat anything. As you well know I am very open in my Journal. I think that is the way it should be. Not to hurt anyone, but just be honest and I feel you are very genuine. Lucy
