BUSH is JUST coming OFF Vacation!

Bush was on a month long vacation and was forced to cut it short to tend to the Hurricane Katrina Catastrophe!

People are in Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama are starving & dying and Bush didn't want to cut his vacation short! What's wrong with this picture?

Quote from The Washington Post:
"The abrupt decision to return to Washington represented a turnabout of sorts for a president who for weeks ignored criticism that such a long summer break -- the longest stretch away from Washington of any president in decades -- appeared unseemly at a time when U.S. forces are at war in Iraq."

Here's the full article.

Going To Give Away My Car!

It's Official!

I called my pastor on his cell and told him that I was going to donate my car to the church! I told him that I had to do it before I changed my mind! I wasn't really going to change my mind. Or was I?

The Prince of The Air

This is why we must watch what we say. Imagine the devil and his angels, and God and his angels hanging around you waiting to see if you speak positively about a situation (or test) that you are in, or if you speak negatively. And whichever you speak, you give glory to that particular side of angels. Your words feed them, which in turn helps them to take over that particular part of your life. Maybe I need to rephrase that to make it more understandable... BBL

Obeying God

Last night I was studying for my Biblical Finances class and as I was reading over ‘giving to people’ I felt in my spirit the Lord wanting me to give $20 cash, to someone at my job. I immediately agreed and then I messed up and thought about it. Here’s what I was thinking: We all get paid at work tomorrow, he’ll already have money; he doesn’t seem like he’s in need of something as small as $20; well I don’t have $20 cash, I only have $15 on me. All of those thoughts, to me were valid excuses; but then I thought, how many people make excuses when God tells them to do something and miss out on their own blessings? Anyway, the questions were only raised for about two minutes, when I made up in my heart that I was going to be silent and obey the Lord. I then asked him how should I give this guy the money; in an envelope, in his hand, how? God said in an envelope with a note, so then of course my next question was what do I put on the paper? I didn’t get an answer on that until the next morning driving to work, to which it was “Jesus Love You. He Cares.” I asked my husband for $5, added it to my $15 and did what I was supposed to do.

I left the envelope in an area around the guys work space where he would see it. He came to me a few hours later and thanked me and said that when he opened it, he had to hold back tears.

ATTITUDE

Last month Pastor Tony Evans was talking about our attitude toward our situations.

Last week's Wednesday night service was about our attitude toward our situations.

Last night's church service was a continuation of our attitude toward our situations.

This morning, Joyce Meyer was talking about our attitude toward our situations.

Is this what God wants me to work on, or do Pastor's read the same HOT TOPIC of the month bulletin board?

Either way... I still need to learn to work on my our attitude toward my natural situations.

My Daily Confession

Here are some things that apply to me from a book that CBCS is reading called, "Favor. The Road To Success. How to receive special favor with God and people" by Bob Buess. I have to learn to renew my mind with God's spirit truth concerning favor with God and with man. My words are spirit. Jesus said that His words were spirit and life. (John 6:63). These spirit words have authority over the natural world.

My Confession: "God favors me today. I am a success today. I have God's special favor upon me today. He makes His face to shine upon me today. He is gracious to me today. I am someone very special with the Lord." Up to page 15.

I Have To Step Up

I'm in trouble now! I have to step up to the plate now. One of the main things that I felt the Lord had been dealing with me on is "the words I speak." For instance, true story: We pay $1,000 a month for my children to go to school and I have a problem with the school system here for that. We would pay it out of obligation, but NOT be happy about it. By saying things like... "do you know what I could do with a thousand dollars;" or "a thousand dollars is like paying for another house;" or "I can't wait until the kids get into elementary school so we don't have to pay that much money anymore," I'm cursing my blessings. I need to praise the Lord in all situations (especially the financial ones) and say things like: "I'm paying out the pocket for now, but the Lord is going to take control of this;" or "The Lord is my provider and He is going to give me and my husband great favor in our jobs to overcome this;" or "The Lord is going to give us so more favor and blessings."

Past Blog Writings On My Faith in March

Okay, so I'm sitting in church and towards the end, my Pastor says that there's a few of us sitting here right now that are cursing or blessings. The Lord wants to bless us and we're right there at the breakthough, but we keep failing the test of faith in our finances by looking at the natural and not having faith enough to trust Him. "I'm one of the guilty." So from this day for 90 days, I'm going to put in so much effort to not look at the natural and just praise God as my provider. And I ain't playin'.

What I Wore

Okay, so last night I had a dream about wearing my black slacks and my earthtone shirt, so that's what I wore.

The Lord God is waiting to show how kind he is and to have pity on you. The LORD always does right; he blesses those who trust him. (Isaiah 30:18)

I Told God...

I told God that I don't hear Him when He talks to me, and we need to have some practice sessions; so I asked God what He wanted me to wear tomorrow... I'll wait for His answer.

I thought that was a good place to start.

I Believe I Found The Answer

I was in the last day of a bible study class this morning "How To Pray For Physical Healing," and it hit me that the thing I am fearful of, is "success." It sounds a little strange, but when I think about it, I'm not afraid of what people would think about me, I'm not afraid of telling people what God needs me to tell them... I'm afraid of success of the unknown. I don't exactly know why. I'm thinking it's because doing God's work is going to be so new for me and I feel in my spirit that where I'm about to go, is exactly where God wants to place me. So if this makes sense, I'm scared to take those few steps out of my 10 mph "planning, gathering knowledge and storing information only to us a little here and a little there" and move forward 90 mph with what God has plans with me for.

Tender Heart

In my Prophetic Prayer with Toka, The Lord told her that the gift he has given me was prophecy, which is 99% encouragement to people. She explained that there is a difference between have a gift of prophecy and being a prophet. The Lord also told her that I had a tender heart, which was perfect for getting the Word out to His people the way He wanted.
She also prayed that the walls of fear would be broken so that He can pour into me.

BreakThrough

I was at a church conference tonight praying that God tells me what is blocking me from walking in His will for what He wants me to do and a church member, Ralph, came to speak to me and asked if I could hear God, I told him I couldn't. He told me to tell God that I can't hear him, then he asked me if I knew my gifts, I told him I didn't. He told me of the many gifts God has given me, prophecy is the most prominent. He told me that there was fear in my heart that was preventing me from hearing God the way I needed.

What am I fearful of?

Thank you Lord for answering my prayer.

Read Your Bible More Girl
