As the weekend comes to a close, I wanted to touch on a few things and to acknowledge that I am so thankful to be a child of GOD!!
I have seen GOD work in the lives of so many people, especially my church family and friends. GOD is so good!!
Earlier I posted about my time with my friend this week and it was a sweet visit, though fast paced. What a blessing it was. I wanted to just acknowledged how all my friends, church family and my family (though not speaking at the time) mean to me. What I have come to truly realize is you are where you are at when no matter what happens in your life, failure, heartache, mistakes, you are still loved and excepted. It is when the evil one says "No you are not", that we recluse and pull away from all we love, from all we know. I have been there...I had a moment recently that I heard that same voice..telling me, " ha see you did it now", yes I failed, and I put my head down and I felt like running, crying..BUT I didn't and the evil one lost as soon as I took captive all the feelings I was walking through at that time..The devil is a liar!!
I failed, but it does not make me any less a child of GOD, what it does is allows me grace and humility to make it right...to say I am sorry.
I love this line in a song by the Crabb Family..Through the Fire..
"HE never promised our cross will never get heavy or the hill will not be hard to climb"
It is so true, but with help and encouragement and prayer we can overcome everything, With GOD anything is possible!!
Anyway remember the devil is a liar and we will have good days and we will have bad days and on these bad days, remember to that GOD loves you and HE is always there for you, we need to just seek HIM, ask for grace and mercy and hand all our troubles over to HIM!!
No matter what..the greatest gift..we can say were sorry, seek forgiveness, that my dear friends is the divine mercy of GOD!!
Many blessings, In CHRIST love,
Tina

Friendship

Today I want to share my heart on friendship, what a blessing it is!! This week I was blessed with a friends visit from Georgia. Though the week was fast in pace and we really did not do anything to exciting..the time together was really sweet!!
We watched movie's, we laughed, we spent time with GOD together. My friend who I have known for sometime, is such a blessing and I am thankful that GOD brought our lives together, she adds something special to my life that no one else does, she is as real to her self as the new day is bright!!
Friendship is like a good book, always an adventure, never knowing where it will go and what you you will learn!! I am so thankful for the many friends I have!!
Another very important friendship I have is with JESUS, HE is my ROCK, and I am so thankful for that!! Today as you go about taking care of your family, shopping or whatever it is you will be up to today, take a moment to tell your friends you appreciate them!!!!
Many blessings,
Tina
