Which Door Will You Open?

Seriously, SERIOUSLY! How did this happen. I was driving down the road…..of course, I was in bumper to bumper traffic; however, I was not speeding. I looked up and saw that I was getting close to the vehicle in front of me, but I kept hitting the breaks, but the car would not stop. Yep, I rear ended her. “Oh man”, I said.
We both got out, checked the damage, and since her car did not suffer any damage, she wanted to leave. I convinced her to stay so we could get a police report for insurance reasons. When the police arrived, she was inpatient, but she stayed until he was done questioning her and she took off. Well, it was my turn.

Pretty much, the car, a 1998 Mazda ProtĂ©gĂ© was totaled - - - -new tires and all. I hit her tow hitch that saved her car, but tore mine up. The cost to fix it was more than the estimated value. Yes, I hung my head low! No money, I was off work on medical leave, and no possibility of receiving temporary disability; because I was working for a temp agency.  Nope, I was not upset - - - I just kept asking myself, “How did this happen, when I kept hitting the break and the car would not stop”! I walked through the door of reason!



This happened in March of 2011. I know now, why it happened - - - - I valued my own accomplishments ~ the new tires, the car is paid for ~ instead of acknowledging God, who is our source and supply; without Him, I can do nothing!

What door do you keep opening that is hindering you from reaching your destiny? Keep in mind, there are times God test us – In all of our subjects in school, we have test to see how much we know, so it is with God!




Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods) – (from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life). Amen (so let it be). I John 5:21 (Amplified Version)

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 # 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 ...

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 ...
