There's Nothing to Worry About!

When something is prepared for us we can not wait to receive it! If you know dinner is prepared; and you didn't have to cook it, the meal is more enjoyable! Or your house is being cleaned and put in order, once you step in it, a sense of calm and relaxation overcome you! All of those feelings are welcome; because they bring about peace of mind and heart!
Who wouldn't want to rush home to a prepared meal and a clean house everyday! I know I would! 

                                    
                                Prepared spaghetti! Yum! Dig in!

That's what Jesus meant when He said:


Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). 
You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; 
believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.
In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places 
(homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I 
am going away to prepare a place for you. (John 14:1-2 AMP)

Our hearts are not troubled, distressed, or agitated, when we know ahead of time the work is done and ready for us to enjoy! Beautiful clean home, and dinner being served; we gladly receive it, with no hesitations! So why do so many of us fear and distrust Jesus when He assures us of this wonderful place? I'm sure there are and will be many responses to this, but there is only one that comes to my mind; you do not Trust Jesus enough to believe His Word!

Jesus continues:


And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will 
come back again and will take you to Myself, that where 
I am you may be also.
And [to the place] where I am going, you know the way.
Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are 
going, so how can we know the way?
Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; 
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], 
you would also have known My Father. From now on, 
you know Him and have seen Him. (John 14:3-7 AMP)
As you read verse 3, the word “if” is in parenthesis! It is there for those who may not receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior; whereas, there are many who will not receive Jesus, nor will they live in eternal paradise with Him!

However, it is never to late to become a “Believer”!

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 ...

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 # 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 ...
