Appetizer # 3 Knowledge - Cont'd

Over eighteen years ago, God gave me the knowledge to create a flyer ~ and to this day I am not sure how I created it. I know the knowledge came from God because when I went to go to the computer to re-design it instead of scan it in, I could not figure it out! Hmmmm I was a computer tech when it was designed and had the ability to figure out the ins and outs of creating a custom flyer as the one you will see shortly. But today, the knowledge is not there. It's amazing how God gives us the gifts we need at the time it is necessary to do it! ~ I know, I got off the path a little bit ~well back to the flyer and the message God wants us to receive.

The message the flyer is portraying is so profound that I became ecstatic when in all of the wonderful creations from years gone by, I found this. OH WOW ~ was my initial reaction and then I ask myself, "What is it God wants me to do with this"? Obviously, there was work to do within me over the eighteen years to understand what it meant to me. .........  It has been a journey, and when our life is filled with trials, then and only then, can we talk about things with knowledge of it through experience! I hope I haven't lost anyone yet.......Hang on and stay with me (Smile) ......On with the flyer!


All of our thoughts, our journeys, trials, and victories are different and on different levels. So with that in mind, please take a good look at the flyer and ask yourself, "What in life has gotten me off the Road To Success"?, 


You know when we are young how we sit around and dream of what we want to become in life, what kind of car we want to have when we have landed that perfect career, or even, what type of man we want to marry. . . . . . . To dream is wonderful and we should dream. Without dreams, we will not have hope, and without hope, we quit and give up..........Life has detours and merging traffic; whereas, if we are not careful, can take us briefly off the "road to success"; and our intended destiny!  Yes it can be a challenge, when there are times when traveling we make a wrong turn and end up where we did not intend to be........but remember you are in the driver's seat! Sometimes you just have to fight with that steering wheel and say, "I am not going that way"! Life does happen and some of it is unexpected! But, we also have choices when we travel that road and not allow the detours to keep us off the path,or stay off the path. Get back in that driver's seat, flash your lights, honk your horn and smile to alert the other drivers you are merging into traffic and back onto the "Enriched Life Rd"! 


For the Lord grants wisdom! His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding. He grants good sense to the godly  - his saints. He is their shield, protecting them and guarding their pathway. He shows how to distinguish right from wrong, how to find the right decision everytime. Proverbs 2:6-9 (TLB)

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

Appetizer # 7

# 7 Objectives (n) - something your working towards Increase! ---Hmmm! Increase in what? I'm not sure what you mean by increase! Increase in finances maybe ~ or increase in knowledge ~ or perhaps you mean increase in healthy friendships!  All of these are attainable; however, they are not accomplished without work on our part to obtain them ~ and keep them. Maybe you want to increase your household! Uh Oh! (Big Smile) ~ VUALA ~ here's your baby! Wow that would be wonderful if it worked out that way, but we know better huh?  How many of you have really sat down with a goal in mind and established a step by step plan to reach that goal? I have never done that, I have always flown by the seat of my pants and they would always work out! NOW? It's not that easy. I have had to think things through more, pray about them and believe they will happen!  What I mean by that is, I became independent of Christ (sure of my own works), instead of dependent (leaning totally ...

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...
