Is it really easy?

I do not own the Rights to this photo 

I know we all have our favorite chewing gum that we like to chew and mine is Extra. I like this gum because my jaws do not get tired chewing it aannnddd the flavor last a long time.(chuckle chuckle) It's just good to me in all actuality! (SMILE) And my favorite flavor is peppermint! Yep!

However, that is not what I find interesting about the gum. If you will glance at the picture on your left, notice the row the gum is standing up in. To us, it's the middle row, however, when any one grabs the gum, it's the easiest access to the gum and the quickest.........RIGHT?........right!!

I have been buying this gum for YEEAAAARRS and just yesterday, I went to grab a piece of gum and grabbed the last middle piece! Wow! I just realized out of habit and easy access, until that row is empty, I kept grabbing from that row. Why not the left row first or the right row first?. Is it because it will take a little more effort to reach for them? No.......not really, it's what the viewing eye sees first, or to us, what is the easiest to grab. The other two rows are easy to grab also, however, they are just little obscured from our view. As is our thinking process. If something takes a little more thought or belief in it to happen, we quit and get discouraged; because it is taking too long to happen. I do that and still get discouraged when I want someting and it does not happen quick enough or easily accessible! So if I'm asking you to keep believing and don't give up, I need to do so myself.

What is Faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for  us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. Hebrews 11:1 (The Living Bible)

 Think about it, how easy is it to dismiss something we have been wanting for a long time, because we cannot see it up ahead or within reach! Well Do not quit and give up just because it is not easily acccessible. Keep believing and in due time, it will come into clear view!

A lesson learned -All from a pack of chewing gum! Hallelujah!

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 # 2 -Mental Attitude ~ a state of feeling or mind about a person or situation WOW! I know that I have had some bad attitudes in situations that were not necessary to even entertain. I can recall one of my many times I developed an attitude before I allowed myself a good attitude about going to a community dance in my hometown. I just knew it was going to be boring and the people that were going to be there, I had nothing in common with (or I thought),  many of them there were not my age; and I did not have anything nice to wear, I needed to make sure my children were sleep first, and on and on and on - -  "Geez" I kept coming up with excuse, after excuse, after excuse!! My negative attitude about going to this dance could have kept me - - -- well, what many of us pass up - - - it's called "living"; IF, I would not have regrouped and decided to go anyway.  I found a babysitter, obviously found something to wear with a pair of my many fabulous sho...

Appetizer # 6 - Dreams

Appetizer #6 Dreams - Images in the mind For years, I would have the same dream of entering a beautiful mansion and I could remember being awestruck of how beautiful it was. I would marvel at the quality of its craftsmanship.  I would slowly walk down the beautiful marble staircase into the basement.  Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, there was this black door that had a little window on it. Imagine going into a dungeon and the only way anyone could see out was through this peep hole and vice versa.  When I went to open the door, an evil spirit would come near me and I would wake up immediately! As I mentioned this dream went on for years, until I realized that it was the devil. As soon as I confronted him that he will no longer allow me to live in fear of God's blessings and that he had no power over me either, the dream stopped immediately. I know that my ways are not God's ways and my thoughts are not God's thoughts, but to live a life filled with God's ...
