What 2009 has taught me.......

This has been one of the most empowering year of my life!! I've been moving along a road that was rough, bumpy, sometimes smooth, sometimes felt like I was about to go over a cliff! It basically was the road from my heart to God.

In Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him,so that your Father in Heaven may forgive you your sins.

I've spent time in forgiveness. I have prayed and let things go. In return God has blessed me in many ways. I bought a bible , It's a one year bible, I think it's one of the best investments I've ever bought myself!Every night I read my daily readings. I've learned many things through doing this. I still have lots to learn,but having God back in my life has done amazing things to heal my heart.In one year I'll have read the Bible cover to cover...which is GREAT! And then I'll do it again and again.

I'm reading a book by Charles Stanley, "Success God's way" It's a amazing book! One thing I've learned was to be Successful in this book is that you have to start your day with praying...What do you want me to do for YOU today GOD? Doesn't sound like much huh? But when applying it in my daily life It means LOTS! And it works!
I'm learning the MONEY isn't the way to feel fulfilled. That worrying about how much money you'll make in a year is what makes you important. Money will not bring one happiness! One should not always think how can I have more money.If people do that then maybe they should turn their thoughts to ..How can I have more of GOD.

Deciding to go to church was also a good thing that I started doing in 2009. I have found there are many people struggling with issue's that I was struggling with. I found hey I"m not alone! So I started attending church regularly.Now I look forward to Sunday Mornings, I love going to a place where God is present! I've made some very good friends.

Romans 8:31 "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us" You are a winner, you are victorious through the Lord Jesus Christ. Begin to see yourself the way God sees you.

That was a big one for me to learn, I felt because of all my worldly screw ups I wasn't worth much, But I am a winner cause God is on MY side!

I have many friends from all walks of life, I appreciate all of them, they help me balance my life, and are in my life for a reason. I felt like sharing my thoughts with you cause I know you would want what is best for me. I believe that you care.

I wish for you in 2010 the best!

I know God will make 2010 for me ... AMAZING!!

Poem I came across.

You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.

You look like you for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb;
You're just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
There were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy,
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason.
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a GOD!


I just thought what a uplifting poem... so many times we look at life and say "Why Lord?" I know now that it's God who's running the direction of my life, not me. He has his purpose for what he wants me to do, I just have to follow him.

Have a great day! I know I will.
