Better late than never!

   

     Good morning to all, sorry for being late in getting my blog up this morning, try as I may, I could not go to sleep last night, night turned in to 3 a.m. and I awoke only a short time ago! I have never been one to sleep late so this is very odd for me! I know there is no set time for my blog to be posted, but I like to get it up and running prior to many of you going to work. I like to think many of us share a cup of coffee with my blog and it in a sense helps to get the morning off on a good note!
     The morning sunlight on my face feels so good today,there is a big breeze and the sky has not one cloud, only pale blue as far at the eye can see. In prayer this morning, I said my usual prayers and was just on my specific prayer request that came in over night when I realized how much I look forward to the request, like a kid at Christmas I open each request with wonder and excitement, I feel so much honor when I am asked to pray for a specific need or problem. Many of the prayers are similar, but each and every one is different, if that makes any sense! Each of us is different so even though we share like needs for prayer they still must be prayed with the vision of the one in need in my heart! When I first started getting a multitude of prayer request someone said to me, "don't let this become overwhelming to you" I know that as long as I have breath in me, I will not become overwhelmed, I have so many who come and pray with me each day, I know this is the direction my life is supposed to take and I stand here  today to tell you, if you come with a prayer request, it will be said, sealed and lifted up to Jesus Christ marked special delivery to our Father in Heaven!
     Today I pray that you will put on your "grace" hat, that you will walk with your back straight and your head held high, that you will have a little tilt toward the sky and that when people look at you they see someone they feel blessed to be around! Be a friend today, let go of your worries, they will still be there when you slump your shoulders and are no longer looking up! Well let me think about that, the more positive your energy the more positive energy that collects around you...maybe, just maybe, when you slump your shoulder and cease to hold your head up high....your problems, troubles, and worries won't seem nearly as large, they won't seem that hard to conquer, heck some of them may have disappeared while you were walking in "grace" Today walk in a fashion that others know that you are in the footsteps of Christ, walk without falter and let others see that in walking with God you are graceful and allow them to see what he is doing for you! Let them see that your faith overweighs your toils, that your belief overshadows your pain and that with God you are unbeatable! Don't give negative a chance today....tell it to get behind you or you will mow it down! TODAY IS A POSITIVE DAY, positive brings positive and I promise you are going to like it! One day I posted a message on facebook, it was on  the wall of someone who was wallowing on the "pity pot" the response to what I posted was "well now, aren't you just a ray of sunshine up a dog's butt!" and to that I responded, "YES, I would rather be a ray of sunshine up his butt that the alternative:) " Allow people to see the "light" that comes from you...no nay, nay, nay, today...only yeah, yeah, yeah! I love each of you and know that if we all band together, if we stand in the footsteps of our Savior, if we pray together that there is no way satan's army can even come close to winning this battle we call life!!! God bless each and every one of you with his love and strength! Live for this day, love for this day and laugh for this day...tomorrow is a million miles away!

MONDAY, MONDAY... how are you looking at this day?????

  

Don't let this be the way you allow your MONDAY to be! 

 Hello and HAPPY MONDAY!!! yes lets put a little pep in that...HAPPY MONDAY!!! Monday seems to have such a bad name, it is always gone into with angst due to it being the ending of the weekend, and it seems to have taken on the same mantra as say...Friday the 13th, so many people look at MONDAY as if it is bad luck, they deem it the one day of the week that will be filled with upset and trial! Lets do something a little different today, lets look at it as only a vehicle, it is a mere stepping stone to Tuesday, bla, bla, bla. Don't get up this morning with the Oh No....it is MONDAY, get up this morning and say, hello MONDAY how are you my friend, lets thank God for this day because without it we would not make it to Tuesday or any of the days that follow.
     It is all about Attitude, if we go to bed on Sunday night thinking about what will go wrong because tomorrow is MONDAY, I can assure you, something will go wrong, if we manifest bad, bad will be in our world. I bet at some point in your life you have heard the phrase..."don't buy trouble" it is truth, if we put bad thoughts out there in the universe, you will be met with bad! This being known are you going to buy trouble today or are you going to bring positive into your world, remember our thoughts determine much of the comings and goings of our days!  Lets join forces and only think positive thoughts today, lets band together and only allow good today, if you were at the market and there was a good isle and a bad isle, which would you choose to shop on?  Positive produces positive, negative produces negative, lets fill the world with positive today and see how MONDAY shapes up:)
God bless each of you today, if the load you are carrying is to heavy for one person and breaking your back, try asking God to lend a hand, he will take the bulk of the load from you! If the hurdle you are jumping today is extremely high, ask God to give you a boost, he will lift you up and you will clear it with room to spare, if the mountain you are climbing today is very steep and slick, ask God to make a stairway for you to climb with ease and trust that it will be done! Don't try and go it alone, you don't have to! Ask him to walk by your side and to help you see the hidden dangers, then walk with your head held high in the knowledge that "ain't nothing gonna break your stride" Remember...today is a gift, enjoy it, revel in it, and thank God for it!!! Love to each of you in his beautiful name, amen. 

Positive makes positive, make this day a positive day, it is in your hands:)


Special prayer request for all prayer warriors, a family that many of you know has lost her husband, he fought a courageous battle and put up a good fight but our Father in Heaven needed him at this appointed time to progress in heaven and do his duty's there, he has earned his wings and is now walking the golden path along side our savior Jesus Christ and our Father. His family is left here without him and is suffering loss in their hearts, please, I come to you with prayer request for this family and for friends and loved ones, in the coming day, weeks, months, and years they will need the peace that only God can give to calm their hearts, Father I ask you to lay your loving hands upon them, to allow them to rest in your arms and feel the love and comfort that you can give, allow them to feel his spirit often, to revel in the memories they have when they feel they cannot go on without him, and allow them knowledge that you are with them each and every step of this journey! God bless them and keep them, amen!
