And then, there's my Ugly Sinful nature...

I hate my sinful nature. It gets me in so much trouble and causes me to do the very things I don't want to do. It especially hurts God, which is what I hate. Today it's really raring it's head, please pray for me.

I'm trying to file for disability. Without an attorney it's virtually impossible to get! Believe me I've paid my dues in So....many ways. I set down to figure out what I've made in the past few years. Each year dwindling because of health issues. writing in general will make very few people wealthy. I love sharing and caring, but it's no way to make a living. It's much like dreams of being any kind of artist-simply pipe dreams that rarely, if ever come true.

To make a long story short the years as a Realtor were finally materializing and making a decent living. In my first "good year," at 43 I was diagnosed with Chron's disease. Since 2003 I've lived through 12 surgeries and 1 heart attack. My health is chronically failing. My husband and I are living on less than 1/10Th the income we use to. Frankly, only God makes the numbers and money work. God is always Good even when my sinful nature is crying and kicking up.

Please contact me if you'd like to by one of my $10.00 books titled, "Let's Really Live before We Die!" God knows we need to sell them. If you've already read it or are waiting for the next book, I'm working on it; but writing is never a lucrative income. God keeps supplying my needs, in spite of my complaints. I need to smile and be happy right? Thank you for your prayers and support. I'm hurting in more ways than one today.
God Bless you, Kathy

God is Always with you!

What if Jesus walked into the church you attended today, who would He set with? What a privilege and blessing He can be with each believer all the time, anytime, regardless of the crowd or your popularity, Jesus promises to be with you always.

God really does love each of us to meet us where we are; and keep us in His constant care. If you never realized how much God loves you consider how He knows and cares for every need you'll ever have.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God." Philippians 4:6

"And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I command you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Mathew 28: 19 and 20

Lord, please keep me laughing.

Lord keep me laughing, it helps so much in the trials, the pain and yes it even keeps me sane.

A captain of a ship was told in the midst of a fierce battle, "Sir, we are surrounded by fire on all sides!"

He quickly ordered his first mate to bring his red shirt as quickly as he could. He put it on and commanded his mates to fight on with all their might. They fought on and miraculously won the battle. Latter the first mate asked, "Sir, why did you ask for your red shirt in the midst of the fierce fight?"

"I asked for my red shirt in case I was shot. The red would have hid my wound, and my crew would fight on in spite of my wound or weakness."

"Ah Captain, what a courageous thought!"

"Yes and it worked!"

A few days latter again the first mate reported to the captain on board. "Sir, we are surrounded by ships on all four sides, and this time they all have missile launchers."

At this the captain hung his head. "I need you to bring me my brown pants at once!" ;) (: (Notice, a laugh or smile keeps friends close at heart.)

"You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing." (Michael Pritchard)

Some of you have blessed me with your love and smiles for that I am eternally grateful! Thank you so much! Of all the possessions we will take into our eternal existence none of them will be anything materialistic. You will only take and leave love, music and what you've done for God.

Eternity will come sooner than any of us expect. Are you working for the right treasures?

"And He shall be the stability of your times. A wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: The fear of the Lord is his treasure."
Isaiah 33:6 (NASB)

God Wants You to Win!

"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper to you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah chapter 29:12 and 13 NASB)



Maybe now more than ever we all need to know we have a Savior and other believers who want us to succeed. Please remember success isn't always measured by material wealth, good looks or an easy lifestyle. Without struggle in life few become anyone to speak of. The real measure of a man lies in the fullness of Christ's love and grace you live and pass on to others. Dig a little deeper for today's riches, see Ephesians chapter 3:14 through chapter4:16.



You are a winner in Christ Jesus. You have EVERYTHING you need in Him!

Living Water You are so Refreshing!

When you go to the ocean or a waterfall do you feel the cleaning sensation of forgiveness or the feeling of new beginnings? I do, I think that's why I enjoy my feet running through the surf. Yet, I find total contentment while I enjoy simple meditation gazing into a waterfall. Both places leave me with an indescribable peace with and in God, because they remind me how refreshing His forgiveness and love really are.

God accepts us as we are, cleans the filth and fulfills our mind with His presence. How many true friends do you have that can honestly accept all your flaws, yet they say in spite of your flaws I really do love you. Let's just move on.

Those are the people you need to hang on to. That's the kind of person I want to be, one who accepts and loves in spite of any flaw. Love and forgiveness build others up faster than any words spoken in anger could possibly correct.

Only God can restore all the broken pieces; but He does it better than anyone can. Only God can wash our souls whiter than snow. There are 2 different passages of scripture I'd really encourage you to look at when you can. First slowly read, Deuteronomy chapter 30. There's a lot of wisdom for a long life there. Second check out, Ephesians Chapter 4:30-5:17 because we've been adopted into Christ's family through His blood let us follow His example in love and friendship.

The Ultimate Gift!

Due to very limited funds our family enjoyed a wonderful Christmas centered around Christ instead of presents. We were able to enjoy the true gift of Christ's love and his gift of salvation without giving each other gifts.
Ironically, it actually was a blessing! I think a lot of other families experienced the same "lack of funds," this year. I hope and pray other families enjoyed each others company and celebrated the eternal gift of salvation as we did this year. Next year, I would really like to focus on giving to the "real needs" of others if God blesses us with any extra that we can give.
Let's all focus on the real meaning of Christmas, instead of getting lost in the bussel. God provided salvation through His only Son to a desperately needy world. That gift was purchased with an outrageous price of His blood. Salvation really is the most awesome gift you will ever accept. It has life changing power that transforms your final destination to a heavenly address. Have you accepted His gift?

"And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness." Romans 8:10 (New American Standard Bible)

We are created in God's image made up of a physical body, a spirit and a mind. Who we really are never dies if we accept Christ's ultimate gift. The body you are living in is only a temporary dwelling. Death separates the body and spirit. Where you take up an everlasting residence depends or your acceptance or rejection of salvation through Christ Jesus, the only way, truth and light to heaven. Is Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?

Wake Up America

I can't help but wonder how and why our country has changed so quickly. How did tax payers end up with a huge tax bill that we'll probably never be able to repay? The government never asked any of us if we were willing to repay that huge amount,it was just thrown on our tax bill. Now they refuse to disclose where the "money" went.

Amazingly, the stock market goes up almost every Monday, and then falls again the rest of the week. Is that money being "dumped" into Wall street to create a false sense of security? Where is the money going?

Did you ever imagine government would have the power to tell privately owned companies you must appoint a "czar" to lord over your business? Are we a democratic society? The very term "czar" means tyrant or emperor. Do we really want the government to control any company or its wages?

Wake up America, we are quickly becoming anything, but a democratic society! Before things get any worse please wake yourself and everyone around you up! We must honor and obey God so He will bless us!
