Overcoming Fear of Change
Looking for a place to donate to...?
As the year comes to a close, I know there are many looking for reputable and respectable places to make year end contributions and donations for a tax write off or just because.
I encourage you to really search your heart and consider giving to this Godly organization that offers restoration of hope to the lives of so many young girls that are lost! Please read more about them and if you cannot give, I ask for your covering of prayers over them. They do so much with so little. God Bless you!

Overcoming Failure...
The Bible is full of stories of failure and success. I actually call it my manual for success, with plenty of illustrations from real life. Every story is different but the common thread is clear: God's hand is at work in people's lives according to His plan. I love reading these stories. Ironically, I relate to a lot of them as I'm sure you do.
Our own story is no different: whether we succeed or fail by the world's standards, it is God that puts value in all that we do. And He alone determines the outcome. The prayer of the Psalmist is, "May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed." And the principle from the wise teacher is, "The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked."

God Still Answers Prayers...
Thank you so very much for the thoughts, messages, calls and mostly your prayers.
My surgery went well yesterday and I am home resting comfortably. Very small side effects (mostly pain and blurred vision).
I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends praying and such awesome family (hubby, daughter and parents) taking such awesome care of me. I love you all! 💞
"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." (I John 5:14)🙏🏻

Preparing For Surgery...
The Bible is filled with verses that can bring peace in the middle of struggles, worries and fear. If we ask God, He promises us HIS peace "that passes understanding"! I thought I would share a few Bible verses for meditation when you feel overwhelmed (like I am this week) and maybe you do not know the next step to take. Take time to read these and meditate on them. Let them marinate into your heart.
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15 NKJV)
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (I Peter 5:6-7 NKJV)
And finally, one of my all-time favorites....
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6 NKJV)
I serve the Prince of Peace. My trust is in Him. He is the one and only that extends true peace!
I am so thankful that I serve a mighty God that loves me enough to give me peace. That leads me to verses in the Bible that comfort me in a time of need.
The best thing you can do when you are filled with anxiety and worry is to find a quiet place to pray, read Scripture, and listen to encouraging worship music. God wants you to have a life lived to the fullest and that includes being at peace!
Whatever you're going through. Whatever pain you're in or big decision you have to make - I encourage you to find your way to your knees. There is great peace at the feet of the Master.
I'm am not going to be posting or writing much over the next couple of days but do ask that you keep me and my family in your prayers. God has this (and it is) in the palm of His hands and I will be back in a couple of days!
You know what to do... GO! Start your day acknowledging how awesome YOU are!!
Don't forget to make memories and make today count! You only get one chance at today! Have a blessed day!

New Month! New Opportunity!
Hello December! I have decided this is going to be the best month of the year! How about you?
Little tip for my upcoming entrepreneurs:
I've been seeing a lot of posts on social media about "making it." I want to share a little secret everyone should know.
Want to know how to get to the top? Appreciate being at the bottom.
Every level of success brings good and bad. Learn from the bad and dwell on the good! And most importantly, review every decision with the big boss above. 👆🏻 If He is guiding your footsteps, it's a win, win.
Begin your day in prayer and meditation, so that you can maintain a peaceful outlook and not start your day in a race. Ask the Lord for the desires of your heart and believe that he will answer.(Psalms 5:3)
It's a beautiful journey! Enjoy the ride... Every day is a blessing — and a choice! Choose wisely.

Have a blessed day,
