Isaiah 40:31

I hope you find this as inspiring as I do~ It's so powerful ~~


31 but those who hope in the LORD

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

"You Raise Me Up" by Kenny G

When I am feeling my lowest,
You Raise Me Up,
Oh, Glorious Father of Ours,
You Raise Me Up,
Up to the skies
Up to the Heavens
You Raise Me Up
Up to the comfort of your arms
Your Raise Me Up~

My wish for you is to take a moment to enjoy the beautiful photographs and listen to the soothing music~



May He Raise You Up!

My Circle of Girls

When I was little,
I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,
God would show you the best in many friends.   


One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'
Another , 'Let's fight together,'
Another , 'Let's walk away together.'   

One friend will meet your spiritual need,
Another your shoe fetish,
Another your love for movies,
Another will be with you in your season of confusion,
Another will be your clarifier,
Another the wind beneath your wings.   

But whatever their assignment in your life,
On whatever the occasion,
On whatever the day,
Or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,
Or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself .
Those are your best friends.   

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, But for many, it's wrapped up in several..
One from 7th grade,
One from high school,
Several from the college years,
A couple from old jobs,
On some days your mother,
On some days your neighbor,
On others, your sisters,
And on some days, your daughters.   



God Bless You All~Such Beauty, Talent and Big Hearts You Have!!!

    In this was manifested the love of God toward us,

because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him..

God Our Creator....

This evening, during my Bible Study time, I felt compelled to share my lesson with you. I hope you will join me~I read Revelation 4:11

Thou are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for "thy pleasure they are and were created.

My question is "how do we respond to God as our creator?" 

For me, the answer came pretty easy.  I respond by giving Him the Glory for all the happiness and blessings He has brought to me. I bow down and honour Him, for without Him, I would be nothing....like an eggshell...hollow, broken and empty. I pray to him for forgiveness, strength,  well health and prosperity for us all. 


I would like to know, how do you respond to Him as your creator? Think for a moment then please be so kind as to leave a comment with your answer.

 Blessings~
