Word Up Wednesday

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians 1:9-10 (KJV)

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
Colossians 1:9-10 (NIV)

Word Up Wednesday


Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 24:42-44 (KJV)

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
Matthew 24:42-44 (NIV)

Inner Thoughts

If I didn't dream or believe God's word, I would settle. Settle for any job, mate & life presented. Thing is I recognize there are so many GREAT things in store for me. I know where I'm going is far greater than where I am. Understanding this is only a season, but yes I wonder when this season will end. There are days when tears can no longer fall & only my heart cries. Cries because my situation wants me to believe this is the basis of my life; Happy but not happy. Struggling but not struggling. Average but not average. Yet, My faith will not let me give up. In fact it pushes me to remain faithful so I can prove God's word to be true. So welcome a season of change & a season of transition. Your platform may not be one for the world to see. However, someone is watching & following after you. Let the God in you prevail. Giving others hope, strength & courage to also remain faithful because our God is ABLE.

First Things First

Life can be so demanding. Pulling one in many different directions throughout the week. Work, meetings, weekly rehearsals, chauffeuring your kids, class, homework, maintaining the family, etc. When you finally get a day or even an hour to yourself the focus is on self. "Me time" never hurt anybody, right?! Right! However, as our daily calenders reach capacity, we must never forget to set time aside to spend with Jesus. Busy schedules lead to having a microwave date with Jesus. Meaning in about 30 seconds to a minute the timer goes off and we're on to something else. Or we tackle two tasks at once. Examples include; praying in the shower, while driving to work and/or praying laying in the bed right before falling to sleep (or falling to sleep doing so). Yet, we must take the time to sit at the feet of Jesus. Waking up in enough time to kneel before the Lord in prayer before starting the day. Taking time to study & meditate on His Word. Taking time to fast. We often seek answers from the Lord but we must avail ourselves for Him to speak back to us. First Things First!

Word Up Wednesday

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6

Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God's Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears. 
Philippians 1: 3-6 (Message)

Word Up Wednesday

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)

Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.
1 Peter 5:8-10 (Message)
