Welcome!

    Since my last publishing on 11-17-17, although I am continuing my journey on the study of love, I am also working on the book titled, ~Behind closed doors~.

   This project is opening my eyes even wider to the sad reality that far too many children face, a home of abuse, lacking a fathers love, and possibly a mothers protection from the father.

   I was recently given an unfinished manuscript, it is the true story of young women I know well. She decided to write her story for the book titled above. Unfortunately, as she relived the abuse she endured in her childhood, both mental and sexual, it took her back to too dark of a place, therefore, she had to stop writing. She called me over a month ago stating, "I gave you my word, so I am giving you the manuscript with the condition that you not ask me any questions concerning my story, do whatever you want, finish it in whatever way you choose". Therefore, a good part of my day has been spent typing her story on the computer, editing a tiny bit as she said I could, without changing the truth of it.

   Reading her story takes me back to a blog I published a few weeks ago. I am finding we associate our relationship with our Heavenly Father to the relationship we have with our earthly father. That is what happened to her,  me as well. Without going into details of my earthly father, I associated him with my Heavenly Father. I am so glad I am finding the True Love of my Father God!

   I am on page seven of her fifteen-page manuscript, I will admit, I had to psych myself up in order to dive into it, knowing a lot of her story before I began. I knew it would sicken me, I knew I needed to be mentally strong, treating it as if I don't know her, (like somehow that would make it any easier), abuse is abuse! It's all sickening!

   Thanksgiving is tomorrow, even though when you read this it will have come and gone until 2018. However, I am thankful that I am discovering  Love! The true Love of my Heavenly Father. It's a journey that will never end because no matter how hard we try, and how deep we lean into His heart, His love still goes deeper for us! deeper than we could ever understand!
As my late Aunt Mae used to say, isn't that wonderful!?

If you feel Him nudging you, please join me on this journey!

For those of you who are unaware, I wrote and self-published a book titled, ~So Thankful! Life Behind The Posts~  Between the covers I wrote about the daily struggles I faced and how leaning on God gave me strength, recognizing Him as the only Hope I had while discovering His faithfulness in my life.

  I am running a special on my book, ~So Thankful! Life Behind The Posts~. by the end of 2017, If you order directly from me you pay only $12.99, which includes shipping and handling. ~unfortunately, I am unable to offer this to those who live outside of the United States~. If you live outside of the United States and you would like to purchase my book, you can order a printed copy through create space, or digital download through Amazon. Both links are on my website at, lifebehindtheposts.weebly.com

Welcome!

   Well, since my publishing on 11-10-17, I haven't had my computer, it's been in for maintenance, therefore, this may prove to be short and sweet.

   I finished reading all 290 pages of the late Kenneth E. Hagin's book titled ~ Love the way to victory~. Towards the end of the book, he wrote something simplistic that I've have quoted all my life and endeavored to live by.  Simply put, ~treat others the way you want to be treated~.
 
   In desiring to keep my publishings transparent, I have to confess I felt a nudge in my heart letting me know I have not lived up to this standard placed on me by God, and myself. Although life has not helped with this endeavor, that little nudge has let me know it's time to refocus and get back on track! ........It's all a part of loving my neighbor as myself.

Welcome !

   Since my blog on 11-3-17, once again I have been pondering what to publish this week. During my study on Love, what is being embedded in my heart and the conclusion I'm arriving at is, God is simply GOOD and LOVING! surpassing my knowledge! Nothing I'm studying is leading me to conclude anything less.
   Therefore, in this publishing, I would like to reflect on the Love and Goodness of God, because that's exactly, (What He Is). 

   Again, I was raised under the hellfire and brimstone doctrine. Therefore, I came to know The  Heavenly Father as a hard taskmaster, I was always concerned He was mad at me, that He was just waiting for me to mess up so He could punish me.
   However, in studying for myself, I'm finding a Good Good Father, a Loving Father like I have never known. Even though I have accepted Jesus into my heart, I want to know the Heavenly Father I am learning about, this divine Love I am discovering.
   He wants me healthy in body and mind, He wants me prosperous in every way, spiritually, financial, in my family, my business, and ministry, in every area of my life. He wants only the best for me. Jesus paid the price for my sins with His blood on the cross so I could have the best in this life and the life to come. Anything other than His best is not His will for my life. This is what I am discovering.
   How many of us calling ourselves Christians who have accepted Jesus in our heart are living in less than His best for us? Simply because we are not walking in the God kind of Love. 

   Through the different Biblical teachings of my adult life, I come to the understanding of many things, however, through this study I am receiving a revelation of the importance of walking in the Love of God. (living a life of loving others and myself). We are supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves, kind of like a father telling his kids to stop fighting and get along. 
   I am well aware there are earthly fathers that have been anything but loving, in many cases, they have been and continue to be abusive. The Heavenly Fathers is anything but that. His Love is a divine Love, not a human love, His Love is unselfish, human love is selfish.
   I am also aware there are earthly fathers that are loving and nurturing, kudos to them!

   The Love, Kindness, and Goodness I am finding throughout my study is one that gives me hope, peace, and strength to keep moving forward with my hopes, dreams, and visions because His will for my life is for good to give me future and hope. Jeremiah 29:11.
   HE IS LOVE AND EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD!
   This is a revelation that only God can give. Knowing this Love is a mindset I have not had. However, the more I am studying His Word, and allowing it penetrate my heart the more I am taking on this new mindset.
   As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Proverbs 23:7.

   Our inheritance, once we accept Jesus into our heart, allowing Love to reign in our lives, is everything that is good. Walking in all HE IS, requires nothing less than walking in Love, and trusting Him to be who (He Is) in our lives. LOVE!

Jehovah - Shammah-- The Lord is present--"I will never leave."
Jehovah - Shalom-- The Lord our peace.
Jehovah - Ra-ah-- The Lord is my shepherd.
Jehovah - Jirah-- The Lord will provide.
Jehovah - Nissi-- The Lord my victory.
Jehovah - Tsidkneu-- The Lord my righteousness.
Jehovah - Rapha-- The Lord my healer.

   I can't begin to tell you how many times over the years I have reminded God of who He is in my life, and thanking Him for being was just that.

   Will there be hard times? Absolutely! But He promised to always be with me. I have learned over the years how to use His word to help me fight the battles in my life. The power of His word will always bring forth the truth of His word. 
   I know my word is good, God has taught me that He is faithful to His word as well, I just have to trust Him to perform it in my life.
   For over a decade now I have been keeping a journey of what God tells me concerning different situations along with details of those situations. When the fulfillment of His word manifests I go back, next to the previous journal, and log in the fulfillment of His word along with the date of the fulfillment. Sometimes it's several years in between journaling, a lot of the time His word to me looks impossible in the natural to happen, yet, I trust Him and He keeps His word every time. He watches over His word to perform it! LOVE NEVER FAILS! 1 Corinthians 13:8

Welcome!


   Since my blog on 10-27-17, I have been pondering the third characteristic of Love. Love is not jealous or envious. My original thought was, how am I going to articulate this? I honestly thought,"maybe I need to skip this one". I asked God to give me insight as He always does and, I believe He did.

   I have a few Bibles, one in particular from years back has simply fallen apart, but, has awesome notes and references. Therefore, I went to that Bible for the guidance of this blog.

   In my ~Spirit Filled Life Bible NKJV Nelson 2255~. The side note reads ~Love does not envy; since it is nonpossessive and noncompetitive, it actually wants other people to get ahead~. 

  As I was reading that side note, my thought was, "God is not pushy", in other words, He will not force Himself on anyone, He gives everyone the freedom to choose the direction of their life. If we choose a path other than the path he has for us, He has a plan to get us back on course, however, that plan will include surrender. I have found that to be the case in my life.

   I was at a place in life that was beyond bad, it was anything but a bed of roses! I had been living for God how I knew to live for Him. Then events took place in my life that was devasting to myself and the ones I loved. My answer to that was, ~okay, I did it His way and look where it got me, now, I'll do it mine~.

Rebellion is never a good thing.
   In rebellion against God, I made a decision in my life that left me broken in many ways.
As I look back on my journey of life, I can see the lessons I have learned, many, that had I known then what I know now, I would not have rebelled as I did, and, I believe would be in a different place in life. I wrote a smidgin about this in my book titled, ~So Thankful! Life Behind The Posts~
   However, everything I have gone through because of that rebellion has made me a stronger person with a heart to help others that are broken and feel lost. 



The Bible reads in Deuteronomy 30:19 ~...I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose lie...~

But, He is a jealous God. My thought is, Just as a Father wants the best for his children, so it is with God, He wants the best for us. Therefore, God, knowing the end from the beginning, knows what is in our future. Knowing this, He is jealous of anything that would keep us away from His best in our lives. He knows what potential dangers lye ahead of us.

     I Googled "Why is God a jealous God?

• Answer: He is jealous of what belongs to Him. 

   What came to me while reading that is, Jesus paid a high price with His own blood. He redeemed us from the curse that we inherited from Adam. In other words, He purchased us back from satin. That's why we as children of God can have peace instead of anxiety, stress or whatever mental torment we may face that is the opposite of peace.
   When I was at the weakest and lowest times in my life feeling as though I couldn't go any further, I surrendered to Him, allowing Him to be my strength.

   Even though Jesus paid for our freedom, meaning, He paid the price for our sins with His blood on the cross of Calvary and rose on the third day so we could be free to live the good life. Buying us back from the thief (satan) who is out to steal, kill, and destroy. (John 10:10). He gives us the freedom to choose how we want to live but encourages us to choose life, to choose Him.

   I have been jealous a few times in my life, but have come to realize, (as in singing), although I can't sing like someone who has, in my opinion, an awesome voice, so it is, no one can sing as I sing either! We are all unique in our own way and have our own special gift or talent. We need to embrace who we are as individuals and not try to be what or who we are not.

  Therefore, even though Jesus paid the price for us, He gives us the freedom to choose, I choose life!
