Greetings In The Name Of Jesus
Father in the name of Jesus, i thank you for another day as well as the breath i now breath. Father i realize that every time i inhale, and exhale, it's because of you lord. I'm so grateful. I realize that because of you... i live... move ... and have my being. I appreciate you lord! How excellent you are!
Now father you told us to always pray, and to pray for one another. So Lord i come before you with humility asking that you will bless those that are in need . I ask you lord for those that are lost that they will find there way as we present you to them. Lord i ask you to watch over those children where there is no dad and the mother has walked away because she can't do it anymore.
Father i pray that she would find the strength in you to return home to her children, even though the man she trusted in failed her and let her down. Help her to realize and know that your word said that you would never leave her or forsake her... help her to know that she can trust you and draw from you always.
Draw that father back to you Lord and help him to know that his family needs him and that he is not a failure! Lord let him know that you placed him as head over that household to keep it together no matter what. Help him know that you have never left him even through tough times and that you have provided for him as he provides for his family.
lord unite them back together again and let forgiveness take place as the healing began.
Lord , i know that you are a God of restoration. I know that you hear our prayers and will answer. We need you Lord and trust you. Help us Lord to be helpers of one another for we realize that we are our brother's keeper.
For the race is not given to the swift , nor to the strong, but to him that endures to the end. help us to run this race with patience and to never give up on each other , but to keep one another lifted up in prayer and in your love.
For i have this assurance that .. You love us!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we ought to do the same toward one another. Have mercy on us oh Lord according to your loving kindness and your tender mercies.
Teach us Lord in the way we should go and help us to spread the good news as you are soon to return.
This i ask in your name, Amen.

Man In The Mirrow
Remember the story of Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs? I kinda thought you would.You know how the story goes when she ate that apple and slept for a while?" The witch ended up asking the Mirrow, "Mirrow Mirrow on the wall, who's the fairest of them all"?.
I'm sure she got an answer but not one she wanted to hear because Snow White was beautiful and i think that bought out a little jealousy in the witch. Some of us have mirrows on the wall , in our make-up cases and so on.
We look in them sometimes when we're getting ready to see how we look before we leave the house for the morning's commute or just for an outing. Not that i want to bring this up ,but the day that Micheal Jackson was pronounced dead, i was shocked just as some of you were . First,i didn't want to believe it and i'm sure some of you shared the same emotions as well.
I heard what they said about him and you know how all the secrets come out from behind the walls of judgment instead of just shutting up and sharing the sorrow of his lost, because i was surely sadden as were some of you.
I woke up one morning and what i heard of the melody was "Looking At The Man In the Mirrow".
My response was oh my" that is a message in that song ' I will always acknowledge the awesomess of God for taking those words and dropping them into my spirit to write!
Yes it's because of him that i write when ever he moves upon me because i know he wants to the church world and to those that are not church going to hear this! I must obey him at all cost
When we look into our mirrows what do we see? do we only look at the outward appearance only to see what we think looks good if so that's okay too, but do we really see the soul s of our inward man?
I thinking the song says" take a look at yourself and lets make that change."
Looking in the mirrow, when we see ourselves do we say "mirrow,mirrow i show look good whether you tell me or not". cuz i know i got it going on! have you ever done or said that?
But if we're truthful there is a lot more to the outward appearance than you think. Those hidden things that nobody know about but you, ooops,! or did you forget God already knows.
Out of that one song is a powerful message and it is that it's time for us to clean up our act, especcially the house of God, because that's where judgment is going to began because the word of God says so! Read peter 4:17, I am only giving you what God has given me, to reject his word is to reject him!
I said Lord whats in this song from a spiritual point of view?. Well he said just like the woman caught in adultery' those that had just no doubt gotten out of bed with her wanted to throw those rocks fast because no doubt those that has wives in that crowd didn't want to be exposed (ha).
They were willing to stone her quickly for that was thier mirrow getting ready to show them up and if i had my way they would say mirrow, mirrow on the wall' my wife is here and i don't want to fall", kinda funny isn't it? but it's true they wanted to keep thier stuff hid but wanted to stone her so she wouldn't tell.
Jesus is on the way back to recieve those that will be caught up to meet him, will you be ready when you really take a long look in the mirrow so you can make the change?
There are many mirrows in our lives , we see them but want do anything about them, thier are mirrows of unforgivness, hatered,lieing.bitterness gossiping,swearing,stealing, lonliness,fear,secrets cheating, wrongful thinking, getting caught up in something you know nothing about ,but just going along without seeking whether it's true or not, just like them that wanted to destroy this aldultress.
Just like they did and are still doing Michael Jackson, yes they took it and ran with the child molestation, they heard, they took it and ran with it without looking in the mirrow of thier souls!
My heart was broken as they made comments about him as he tried to defend himself and they still choose to critize him! He himself said"i'm not guilty,he said he'd rather slit his own wrist before bringing harm to an innocient child!(hey) we're not the judge( remember your mirrows.
But my friends what if the mirrow was turned on you when you had a chance to make this world a better place, you chose not to and are still doing it today by not coming together, look! in your mirrow and asked " mirrow, mirrow, am i free from a fall? And if it could respond, it would say"No my friend , not at all"!.
It's time for all of us to shut up and pray that our broken mirrow is put back together so we can make a change. for we never know why he sang that song with lyrics so very true, but God knows, you see my friend, God has many ways to get his message accross, but will we take heed?
I don't care who it comes from ,as long as it has been carried out. We should take inventory of ourselves and say "mirrow, mirrow on the wall of our souls, help me to clean up cob webs and all, for you see play time is very much over for us and it s time to tell our brothers and sisters to take a good look and see what you see in the mirrow of your heart mind and soul!
It's time to clean up.
My husband and i service buildings and sometimes when we're cleaning thw entry doors, he'll mix a little water with the concentrated Windex and if you put to much water it will leave a streak. So i said in order for that to work ,use the full strenghth like it is".He tried and guess what happened? no more streaks.
Some of us need to look in the mirrow and let God give us the answer and ask him to clean up the streaks hidden in us behind the mirrow! While lookingin the mirrow God can make that change in us so we can be more effective in changing someone else.
Making that change in your mirrow God can fix broken glass, tearing out all the paper and the glue that we see hold it together when it's really not being held at all except with Jesus for he's the man that holds the glue and the paper and the nails together.
The man in the mirrow is you and it's time to make that change! think about the song, really listen to the words of the song and understand the lyrics and apply it, for it is more to it than you realize. Think about it.

God Still Works Miracles
Sometimes we think that the miracles God did back in bible days does not exist today. I'd like to share with you and encourage you that he is the same God today,as he was back then. In his word he said that " I am God and i change not" Malachi.3:6.
I've seen the reaction of people when they receive a bad report from their physician, the first thing the natural man would do is "panic" of course that's the human part of us. Jesus words said in Isiah 53:5 but he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes , we were healed.God's word is so true.
Did you not know that he said the prayers of the righteous dwelleth much. When we tell others of the report we've received,and that person says to you"can i pray for you?"sometimes it's a yes and sometimes it not. They don't realize that you're not trying to force anything on them, but you want to share your faith and encourgement through the word of God knowing that he still works miracles.
When the woman touched the hem of his garment virtue went out of him and she was healed because of her faith. Matthew 4:23 states "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospels of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Now God word is true in every situation and he still does works miracles.
My prayer is that if ever i'm faced with a situation in my body, i would want praying,faith filled people to pray for me and never let up as i stand and beleive God for myself. Dont' get me wrong, for it is God that gives Doctor;s and nurses the wisdom that they have and they do go to God in prayer, and when they've exausted all means they usually say"we've done all we can do, it's in Gods hands.
That lets me know that they beleive in miracles or it will take a miracle for this person to pull through yes , some of them beleive God also.
Yes believe it or not He, God is still in the miracle working business and so be it according to you faith. As i was writing ,i was reminded of a song "It took a Miracle" and the word says"
It took a miracle to hang the stars in space, it took a miracle to set the sun in place, but when he saved my soul cleansed and made me whole, it took a miracle of love and grace".
I hope i've said something that will encourage your hearts as well as increase your faith and to let you know that "Miracles Still Happens".
Stay Blessed,
Stay Encouraged!

Do You Know What It Means to say I surrender To God?
Greetings In The Name Of Jesus The Lover of My Soul!
While sitting in the service this morning at The Potters House i was taken in by the message that Pastor Jakes bought "The Power Of Surrender." Now as he began to speak about Jacob wrestling with the Angel i was listening and being blessed as the message unfold and compared to our life as being children of God. I thought on how we wrestle with things in our everyday lives. It could be based on bills,job lost, sickness ,dissapointment, fear,depression, discouragement and so on , you know the things we deal with. Sometimes when i'm in service God speaks to me and i write, so this question was given to me and that's how i got the title and wanted to share this with you today as to what was said to me about surrendering. When the question was asked, i replied, 'that is so powerful. Now to totality surrender means to give him you life, your mind your voice your talk and even your walk with him means giving him your overall you, the one he created to worship and serve him with your hold hear. Saying yes to him and letting him know that you truely trust him to be everything that he said he would be to you and everyone else. Now there are times when we feel the shuffel of doubt and interference , but if we can fastly grasp what and who were are focusing on we will fastly snap back becuase we have the word. To surrender to him means putting him first, yes he has to have first place in our lives because it is he that have made us ,and not we ourselves.
Putting him first means to seek him no matter what it takes and finding that secret place in him and knowing that you have sought until you found that special place where there is one on one communication with you and him alone. Oh just bask in his presence is the most ultimate rejuvenating thing you can ever experience! Remember when Moses went upon the mountain and stayed there until God was done with him and when he came down he knew that he had experienced an awesome powerful time with God that know man could have given him! I'm praising God as i'm writing this be cause he keeps giving me more.If you only knew how he speaks to me as i fellowship with him, as Pastor said God speaks to you in a language only you can understand because he's communing directly with you! I understood and could relate to what he was preaching . God is so faithful and forever mindful.
God wants that time with us like never before and it is so important to spend time with him on daily basis. My husband and i were on the way home from work and yes we were bought tired. So as we were approaching the downtown area, I heard the Lord say' tell him to go through downtown', i did as i was directed i said 'Ron lets take field street exit and go through downtown, his reply was 'well i'm just trying to hurry and get home( not in an angry way )and he said you must want to browse or something? i replied ,i was led for us to take this route,he said'well i'm just trying to get home'. I was reminded of something my Mother said "sometime the longest way home is the safest way home'. So as he took the exit we proceeded to come across the zang bridge and as we came upon zang and twelth as the light change the Lord had me look over at that same freeway and it was backed up as for back as you could see along with firetrucks,ambulances and ploice cars and traffic was at a standstill. I said Oh my goodness look at what we would have been in if we hadn't listen to the voice of God! He said 'thank you Sharon!
I said know thank God for telling us to go this way and we prayed for the incident that had taken place on the freeway and thank God for letting us make it home safely. Spending time with God is the most beautifuliest, awnessomeness, words cannot express thing you could ever do for yourself and others, because it prepares us from day to day that God allows us to wake up and do it all over again.I love God sooooooooo very much and am sure you do too. I could go on and on and never run out of things to say about surrendering your all to him and experiencing his ultimate goodness! How great is that ,better yet 'How great is our God!
I hope that by shareing my blog page with you, that you are and have been blessed and encouraged, and found time to laugh and to share with someone else.Until next blog time stay blessed and look for for inspirations that God has given me!

Who Knows What a Mom Feels On Her Childs Wedding Day?
Hi , It's Me Again
Today I'm writing about something very important that happened to me today. In a mom's life, she is blessed with children, and during that time she gets to nurture, love, encourage, support, listen, hug, shed tears, pray, and run with them. During their school days volunteering, you sometimes become other kids' mom; you help on the PTA committee, comfort them when they are sick and all that other good stuff that makes someone a mom (smile). I will tell you a little about my kids. I was blessed to birth three into the world whom I love dearly - Timothy, Christina, and Tyrone. On the day of my oldest son's graduation, I woke up and it was as if his life flashed before me like lighting; I saw him as a infant, toddler, preschooler, preteen, teenager, and then an adult. What did I do after that? I cried and wondered where did the time go? I was with him all that time being supportive and all that, but it just seemed like time went so very fast as it did with Christina and Tyrone. There was a song I listened to on a commercial that went like this:
"Where are you going my little ones
my little ones soon you will turn around
and have kids of your own".
And that really happened. I have been blessed to see my children married and even through that you still wonder if you did everything to prepare them for life. It's then when you look back and God lets you see the fruit of your labor and that it wasn't in vain. I thank God for my children, and most of all I thank God that their lives are in Christ and they are continuing on for Him. My question was "what happens to a mom on her child's wedding day?" If I could only tell you what I felt at that time, it was like the flood of tears wouldn't stop, all the flashbacks happened all over again. I was trying to apologize and my beautiful son said, "It's okay mom, it's okay," as he made sure I was alright. I drove off and as I was driving the tears just kept coming. I knew that I was being prepared as God told me things little by little in such an exciting but gentle way as if to say, "I have to prepare her for the move a little at a time". And so He did. I asked God to help me to release my son little by little, and He gave me strength to do that. I knew I had to let go just as I did with the others so that he could spread his wings and soar; so he could move to another phase in his life and be the man God has chose him to be. I've always been protective of my children, as so many moms are, but there is a time when we learn to release, pray, and look to see that your work was not in vain; the nights you set up with them rocking them in your arms was not in vain. All the things we've done as moms will never be in vain. I've had a many people tell me about my kids, "Sharon, a job well done!", and I glorify God for that. Well, as I got my cry out, God gave me comfort. I'm not going to say that I don't want be there for them, but I've always told them if they need me, I'm just a prayer and phone call away. I mean just that! (smile) Well, I know there will be some of you that are going through the same thing, or about to, but my words to you are to lean on God for strength, let Him dry your tears, and comfort your heart as I did as everything will be alright. I know because I've been there three times. I've been there and yes, I've experienced and lived it. Now I know to look on the bright side; as they say you're not losing a son or daughter but God is blessing you with new ones to look forward to seeing everyday, on holidays, or just those whenever days(smile). Another thing I realized is that "I'M AN EMPTY NESTER", but I tell them they can always come back! There is nothing like the love of a mother.
I hope I've said something that inspired you, made you think, and made you laugh for it does a heart good. Until next time, be blessed. Oh by the way, my son asked his wife to be " I know she's going to break but I don't know when." Little did he know I broke down secretly last year around December and thought I was finished and wasn't. I came home from work in January and didn't know what was wrong but, I had a crying fit and a friend just happened to call and talk to me, only I couldn't. She asked, "Do you need me to come over?" I said, "No, I'll be alright." Then she said, "Can you tell me what's wrong? Are you worried, sick or unhappy?" I said "no", and then she said, "Maybe it's your baby son getting married." That's when I realized that's what it was, and it was just hitting me for the second time. I said all that to say this- yes, I did break, but I'm real excited about this event, it is truly an exciting one that we are looking forward to. I love my daughter to be (and as of this posting my NEW daughter), she is a jewel.

Today I'm writing about something very important that happened to me today. In a mom's life, she is blessed with children, and during that time she gets to nurture, love, encourage, support, listen, hug, shed tears, pray, and run with them. During their school days volunteering, you sometimes become other kids' mom; you help on the PTA committee, comfort them when they are sick and all that other good stuff that makes someone a mom (smile). I will tell you a little about my kids. I was blessed to birth three into the world whom I love dearly - Timothy, Christina, and Tyrone. On the day of my oldest son's graduation, I woke up and it was as if his life flashed before me like lighting; I saw him as a infant, toddler, preschooler, preteen, teenager, and then an adult. What did I do after that? I cried and wondered where did the time go? I was with him all that time being supportive and all that, but it just seemed like time went so very fast as it did with Christina and Tyrone. There was a song I listened to on a commercial that went like this:
"Where are you going my little ones
my little ones soon you will turn around
and have kids of your own".
And that really happened. I have been blessed to see my children married and even through that you still wonder if you did everything to prepare them for life. It's then when you look back and God lets you see the fruit of your labor and that it wasn't in vain. I thank God for my children, and most of all I thank God that their lives are in Christ and they are continuing on for Him. My question was "what happens to a mom on her child's wedding day?" If I could only tell you what I felt at that time, it was like the flood of tears wouldn't stop, all the flashbacks happened all over again. I was trying to apologize and my beautiful son said, "It's okay mom, it's okay," as he made sure I was alright. I drove off and as I was driving the tears just kept coming. I knew that I was being prepared as God told me things little by little in such an exciting but gentle way as if to say, "I have to prepare her for the move a little at a time". And so He did. I asked God to help me to release my son little by little, and He gave me strength to do that. I knew I had to let go just as I did with the others so that he could spread his wings and soar; so he could move to another phase in his life and be the man God has chose him to be. I've always been protective of my children, as so many moms are, but there is a time when we learn to release, pray, and look to see that your work was not in vain; the nights you set up with them rocking them in your arms was not in vain. All the things we've done as moms will never be in vain. I've had a many people tell me about my kids, "Sharon, a job well done!", and I glorify God for that. Well, as I got my cry out, God gave me comfort. I'm not going to say that I don't want be there for them, but I've always told them if they need me, I'm just a prayer and phone call away. I mean just that! (smile) Well, I know there will be some of you that are going through the same thing, or about to, but my words to you are to lean on God for strength, let Him dry your tears, and comfort your heart as I did as everything will be alright. I know because I've been there three times. I've been there and yes, I've experienced and lived it. Now I know to look on the bright side; as they say you're not losing a son or daughter but God is blessing you with new ones to look forward to seeing everyday, on holidays, or just those whenever days(smile). Another thing I realized is that "I'M AN EMPTY NESTER", but I tell them they can always come back! There is nothing like the love of a mother.
I hope I've said something that inspired you, made you think, and made you laugh for it does a heart good. Until next time, be blessed.
