How do you know?


We all have the spirit of intuition and women have it by nature. It's a gift that God has given us when we are privy to it! I was a little girl and I overheard my Mother telling one of her friends how we were going to a family picnic and she kept having this feeling that she needed to sit down and not get ready yet. Of course all five of us children were ready, our Father was ready, and the food she was taking was ready and packed up. My parents below  ~ years ago! (Beautiful couple - don't you agree :) ?)


She went on to tell her friend that her Husband kept getting frustrated with her and finally said in a stern voice, "Will you come on here, we are ready to go"! She responded back and said, "For some reason, I just can't get ready. Give me a just few more minutes and I"ll be ready to go". 

 When the feeling subsided, she got dressed, loaded up the car ~with five kids and the food, and started to the area where the family picnic was being held. On the way there, traffic was stopped. She said they looked at each other with a puzzled face because in the small town I grew up in, unless there was construction, an event, or a wreck, there is no such thing as rush hour traffic. 
Traffic started moving again, and when they got to the place that stopped the traffic, it was a serious wreck. She proceeded to talk to my Father in a small voice and said, "You know what Honey, that feeling that came over me to sit down happened for a reason. If we would have been a few minutes earlier, like you wanted, we would have been in this wreck". 

 Remember, too, that knowing what is right to do and then not doing it is sin. James 4:17 (The Living Bible)

 Knowing how to listen to God and obeying his prompting is Liberty; however, when we ignore his promptings, it can lead to disaster.

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

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...

Order Up!

Now serving ~ “Heartaches and bitter pain of defeat topped with a regard to accept a defeat with a constructive attitude”. Competition is tough and you better compete with a winning attitude or accept being defeated with dignity.  We train for a marathon, we practice daily, if you are on a basketball team, gymnastics team, or the swim team; in addition to the conditioning, training and proper diet that is needed to compete. Other competitions that are not physical take intense studying; whereas, you still have to rest so the brain will retain the knowledge you need to “win”. I was a low hurdler in high school; however, when I was asked to compete in the low hurdles, I did not know how to even jump over them properly.  One day during practice, my older brother was at the track practicing shot put and looked over at me struggling with the hurdles. He came over and gave me some much needed advice. He said, “Gwen, you have to hit ‘em low and take only three step...
