HEAD ON

It has been about ten days now since I had finished a good work day and was headed home after picking up a few groceries. A quiet night around 10:20pm and an S.U.V. was suddenly in my lane, headlights were almost as close as the hood of the car I was driving. Lights out for me on impact as I sank into the dark silence. I was unable to speak or hear or see my immediate circumstances. My spirit called out to God, "Please help me, please help my mom." In life and death, our lives are continually effecting others. This was my last request as I took what I thought was my last breath ---

I am not sure how much time passed before I remember taking a breath and starting to cry. I was not sure what had happened at first or how long I had been gone, but the tears came as I began to feel the pain, the inability to move, and realized that Jesus gave me life again. Immediately I started thanking God for being with me and for going ahead and comforting my mom upon receiving news that I had been in a bad accident. Skipping all the details of what happens between the ambulance ride and the emergency room and surgery. I am still recovering currently on day nine of pressing on, and thanking God that He is greater inside of me than anything at all that could possibly come against me in this world.

So here's telling you once again that tomorrow is not promised and that each day is a gift in itself. People matter so much, things matter so little. Half the things we fret about never even happen. It is not wise to waste time and let unforgiveness have any room in your heart and life. Face everything you can with God's help, head on. So that when the unexpected finds you...you cast yourself at the mercy of your Creator and find His help in your time of need. I am very thankful to be able to say no matter what, "God is with me."

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man
