What's your diagnosis?

I know what will cure your anxiety because the doctor helped me", a friend said. "I am on anti-depressants"! Another person was just so adamant their child has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and agreed to put their child on medication; which is an easy way out of taking responsibility for their actions and how they react to their child. There are times medication is necessary but it should not be the answer to a disorder that is malfunctioning do to wrong thinking and improper reactions to situations. There is no other diagnosis for it. When we are in stinking thinking mode, our lives begin to stink per say!




Anxiety is another form of worry. When anyone(adult or child) worries they feel in their mind that they can prevent whatever they are worrying about not to happen. However, all it is doing is creating sickness in the body. According to Rosalind Ryan UK, our body responds to worrying the same way it would to physical danger. Our adrenaline increases, the heart rate increases, we break out into a cold sweat, and we get into a defense state of mind to run or fight.

Constant worrying can lead to ulcers, heart attacks, and strokes and even increase the risk of cancer. However, we still do it because we do not understand there is a better way. As mentioned above, there are times we do need a pill to assist in healing or put our chemical in balance back in balance, but it is not the answer to every situation. 


When we don't know better, we don't do better. I had the privilege of teaching a faith class at a correctional center in my home town and the women there with all of their diverse reasons they were incarcerated had the same answer, "No one ever told me about Jesus"! 


If you do not know Jesus, now is the time to get to know Him and once you do, your life will never be the same. He is the way, the Truth, and the Life!

Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo but to complete and fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook [identifying certain Hebrew letters] will pass from the Law until all things [it foreshadows] are accomplished. Whoever then breaks or does away with or relaxes one of the least [important] of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven, but he who practices them and teaches others to do so shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness (your uprightness and your right standing with God) is more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:17-20 AMP

SILENCE - does no one Justice!

I posted this September 25, 2016 on social media. I have added some things; but it still holds weight and value! God put this on my heart to repost, and almost 4 years later many are seeing what Dr. King meant in the 60’s! I am speaking of those who call themselves Christians and Pastors who are silent and have been for centuries! Jesus says in John 15:17-18 AMPC: 17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. Jesus also said: J ohn 15:10-16 AMPC If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love  and  live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. I have told you these things, that My joy  and  delight may be in you, and that your joy  and  gladness may be of full measure  and  complete  and  overflowing. This is My commandment: that you love one another [jus...

Appetizer # 8

# 8 Self-Respect (n) - proper pride; dignity Oh yes, I did not do well in Business Law. To be honest, I could have cared less about court cases, what the law says about landlord rights, tenant rights, labor law rights, etc. After all, I had a home, a full time job (that at the time, I had no intention of leaving), and I was married with children. I decided to go back to college after the kids were school age, to better my life and theirs~so I thought! I was working third shift, 40 hours a week; and juggling Motherhood and being a wife. Well - all of that together did not mix well at all!  Of course I was tired. In between classes, I would go to the student lounge and sleep ~ there was also times I would doze while driving their and back home. One day while driving home, I was so sleepy, I just could not keep my eyes open. However, when I did realize I had fallen asleep,  I was heading towards the median on a four lane highway. You talk about being scared straight. I kn...

In Dark Times, RUN to Jesus!

If you view God through how and what your earthly parents instilled in you, whether it was right or wrong; no wonder so many do not come to God ~ without one plea!   Let me explain! If your Father or Mother were mean, controlling, did not keep a promise they made, promiscuous or did not show their love towards you; whereas, instead of seeking Jesus, you WILL seek the opposite of who Jesus is! Especially when we are hurt, depressed, or feeling unloved! Once again, God is not harsh, hard or sharp and slow to anger! “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but ...
