Good morning to all my brothers and sisters in Christ! It's Thanksgiving week and I feel like a kid!! Like I'm the one getting out of school early! And I'm the one santa will be bring gifts to soon!
I'm excited about this life!! I hope you are too! Look at what we've been given! Another chance to see God's wonderful love and to live in His peace! Oh man, we have lots of bills and things up in the air, but who cares! I mean really, it will work out! Because I'm not living for myself anymore! My name is Becca, and my middle names are responsibility and respect. With those tools in hand, how can things go wrong? I have faith in my Lord, Jesus Christ! He has showed me time and time again that He is with me and will never leave me!
How precious!
What a gift!
This week, let's be giddy and thankful! Let's not worry about our pant size, the turkey and stuffing, what others are going to say about us behind our backs. Let's free ourselves from those small, insugnificant irriatants of life. Let's remember that our hearts are beating, our lungs are filling with air, we're making changes that promote healthy living and a healthy soul. Let's remember all that the Good Lord has blessed us with and gotten us through! Amen!
And to quote Joyce Meyers, "I'm not where I want to be, but praise the Lord that I'm not where I used to be!"
This is a journey. Not a short race, crash diet, etc. We are implying real life saving changes! We're refusing to live for this earth and what it says and does. We are living for God! Enthusiasticly, whole heartedly, serving others, in which, serves our wonderful Lord! Paying it forward!
There is a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. A dusting in the trees and on the houses. Yes, the roads are icy. And we must remain mindful of our actions when out and about. But let us not miss the beauty around us. Oh, that would mean the beauty in the mirror looking back at us also! Being mindful, respectful, responsible, loving, being thankful and true happiness go hand in hand.
We might need an attitude adjustment. It's true.
We can look at our new lifestyle as a positive, renewing of life, a passport to the life that God has intended for us. We can be excited each day knowing that we can make the right choices! Being freed from the shackles of what the world says we should be! OMG! That is an awesome way to live life!
Or we can choose to hate discipline. Hate the fact that we have to be responsible and then allow others to control the choices we make and how we live. You know peer pressure! The devil comes in all shapes and sizes! He wants us to hate ourselves. He wants us to believe that we're missing out if we don't have those three doughnuts each day, buy that dress in the window, watch that tv program instead exercise, if we choose to live a life God would be proud of.
That's it right there. Living a life for God instead of this world.
Boy, that makes the devil made! He hates when he can't control our actions anymore! And there's nothing he can do about it! See we're in control. We have a choice!
Life or death! It really is that simple.
Oh, how I pray that you and I, my brothers and sisters in Christ, will build up our temples and prepare our hearts and minds for war. That we will continue to read our Bibles and find the time each day to praise and worship the Lord. And that we will be armed with His love and go out into the world serving the Lord and fighting evil in His name!
Oh, how I pray that you and I will not turn from our new ways of living. That we will remain strong and be a light to those around us. That we will show others the love of the Good Lord by our actions and how we live!
We have the unending love of our Father! He is proud of our accomplishments. And is always there and forever will be even if we fail!
So get up! This is your day that the Good Lord has made! Get up and live! Get out there and do your thing! Show others what the Good Lord has done for you!!!
I thank God for you all! You are my inspiration. What I want to be. You are out there truly living the life that God has promised! I look and see what the Lord has done for you, and I feel blessed! It truly is a chain reaction!
Don't give up the good fight! I love you all! Thank you for being you! God loves you and you are truly beautiful!!
May the Good Lord bless and keep you as we go our seperate ways. And may you feel His love and peace in all of your days!
Blessings to you ~ Becca
