Ramblings of My Heart....Its Not To Be Understood

As I sit here and cry from my state of mind, I realize that its past my time....
I am ready for love, it has to be sent from heaven above, I am ready to walk hand in hand and even sometimes play in the sand. I can see that I am unique just  by the people that I meet. I often wonder should I start my own meet n greet. Time is ticking and changing and I feel like a forever embracement. I want the ministry with him, and I want the love to be real. I stood through abuse and misery, I stood with fake friends coming and going. I stood with people just feeling sorry for me, I stood with no family support. I felt like I jumped through a thousand hula hoops. Last year I was isoalted, I was abused, I was rejected and I suffered in alot of silence. God carried me through, and thats where my true healing took me all the way through.I saw something that made my heart smile, and it has lasted for quite a while.. Emotions are in check, maybe because GOD is on deck. I work but no check, but favor and grace and mercy stand in place. I feel oout of place, no one to talk to, no one to call, so this is how my love life with GOD lasted, because he has been there thru it all. I sat on the bench and was never called into play, but i know GOD has the final say. He is bringing me up before the many, nations I will speak to.. Everyone who discredited and rejected me, will see that he GOD is my resource. I am eager to learn and learning forgiveness. I hear people talk about how they do this and that and I all I can is wish I had that chance with my family, my mother and my son. My family resents me, but I have learned that I cant change things so I might as well accept it and keep it moving. I hated myself for a long time, because I was always different. I am ready to be me.. I want to love him forever, I want to travel together, I want to make love together, but most importanytly I want to minster together. I am already laboring for my king, he is in my presnece. I feel him so close, yep i dont loose hope. He called me his prophetess and my king his prophet.. Thats deep right there. I am ready what more can I say, today I stand up and open my heart up and is willing to receive all that he has for me.
I have been buried alive, so called friends past me by. I have been wounded and those who hear wont even lend me their ear. I m a prophet and many pull on me, but instead of trusting GOD they rather trust me. No The glory belongs to GOD, he is my all.
2 be cont.... My cries I shall not hide...

Ill be back....

Letting Go!

says: It breaks my heart how my son treats me, but I do know one thing is GOD is greater and I am letting GO and letting GOD, He has put a knife in my back for years and years and half of the problem is because people instilled in him when he was younger how bad of a mother I was.. However since GOD has redeemed me and set me from my past.. I am not going to keep allowing these wounds to re-open and cause some unnecessary pain...I am letting go and letting GOD.. Willl love him to life, but will not tolerate being cussed out and lied on and treated any kind of way.. I am freeing myself from the pain and I am praying that he returns back to his first LOVE!!!! Dariyon I will always love you, but until you can respect me and treat me like a mother should be treated, keep your comments and business to your self.. I have nothing but love for you.... However enough is enough.. Its time to heal and be real......God doesn't like ugly he serves justice in many ways... Keep ya mouth off of the anointed ones....I am freeing myself..
For you mothers that can feel my pain, say a prayer for me as I say a prayer for you... I am breaking this cycle... I fully give it over to GOD for he is my healer and my protector and my provider....

Lady In Waiting.........

So, I am reading this book "Lady in Waiting," and I would love to share some quotes from this book. For all you women out there, YELL amen out loud if you think these are COMPLETELY true. No matter who is listening. People may think your crazy, who cares? You are crazy.

"Daily, throughout the world, women's hearts are broken because they allow their emotions to run ahead of their commitments. As a result, they end up emotional cripples, angry at the men who failed to live up to their emotional fantasies."

"At a girls night out, a single woman shared how she used to resent spiritual monitoring from her mom in relation to her fantasies. She used to dread her mother's calm and reserved response to her dramatic presentation of the date she had with the man of her dreams. Her mom, a vivacious woman, seemed so restrained and even a little cynical when responding to her daughters "bubbly babbling" about Mr. Right. How could such an outgoing, positivie, and uplifting mom be so reserved when responding to the dreamy-eyed chatter about the arrival of the man worth waiting for? Did her mom have information of which the daughter was unaware? Had she hired a detective to follow the man of her daughter's dreams and find incriminating information? Of course not! This mom was extremely wise in monitoring her own response so her daughter would not get excited and distracted by a prospect who might never become a reality."
 - this sounds exactly like my mom.. thank you mom for always letting me know about your red flags, and your discomforts when meeting my guy friends, or the boyfriends I have had. You are THE BOMB . COM.

"Unmonitored chatting can lead to major defrauding" - heck yes.

"Not that I speak from want; for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." (Phil 4:11-13)

Can You Say FoodiePal?

So there is a new thing in town, well actually its not so new, its new to me though. I have joined an awesome group called Foodie Pal, it is a food exchange program and its really neat, you meet others and you then get a goodie package, and you also send one out... Here is some more info about it:

And now it's time for some details about Foodie Penpals.  In case you’re a new reader, here’s a reminder of what the program is all about:

-On the 5th of every month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.
-You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal! 
-The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!
-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about flat rate boxes!)
-Foodie Penpals is open to blog readers as well as bloggers. If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you are to write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to worry about writing a post for that month. 
-Foodie Penplas is open to US & Canadian residents.  Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. We've determined things might get too slow and backed up if we're trying to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and vice versa. 

So as you can see its not that complicated its actually pretty fun! So come on over and join us....I love getting mail and I am sure you do as well!!! So what are you waiting for?

SO this is like Christmas every month, not only do you get a goodie box but you learn more about the foods that come from a different part of the United States!

Whats In Your Fridge?

The question I ask many, "What its in your fridge?" I love to see what others like to buy or keep in their fridge.. Its just a little fetish!!!! :) Don't worry I am not coming to your house..(MAYBE)

What we have in our spiritual fridge(BODY) is just as important as of what we put in our natural body! Loosing weight as well as gaining weight can be a big issue! I love to cook, i love to get down in the kitchen and sometimes I dont make the best choices, even though my body sings a different tune, I still fail and cook something that is not good for me! As we look at our bodies in the spiritual realm, we must make sure we eating the word of GOD, so that when things come upon us we will be spiritual fit to endure and handle the trial..

This scripture stands out to me:I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified! 1 Corinthians 9:27
When I look at this verse, it should be written all over my house because it cuts me all over......:)
We must learn to yield to the fleshy things, the things that get us overweight, under weight, tired, stressed out, we need to stay fit and how we do that is keeping the things that we need in our body spiritually and naturally.. We cant run a race being out of breath, heavy, not trained... Whats in your fridge, are there some fatty foods that is keeping your blood pressure up? Are there some things that you need to add to your body for the right nutrients? Im cleaning out my fridge im getting rid of some things so that I can keep moving forward! Dont let the things of the world feed you junk, dont let the things that look good but not for your good keep you from loosing!~ We need to take the time and ask GOD to help us maintain a healthiness in the natural and in the spirit.. We will feel so better about ourself. Rejuvenate the mind everyday with the positive affirmations of prayer.  How can prayer help? The influence of prayer actually gives us the hope, faith, and encouragement that our negative feelings have taken from our heart and mind.

Every day we are literally plagued with negative garbage, listening to and looking at it, to behaving in destructive ways that upset the equilibrium of our minds.

Have you ever thought that maybe it is all the harmful garbage in the world that brings on depression, addiction, and bad feelings? If we are under control of addiction or depression how can we ever recognize the spiritual person within us?  I know first hand that addiction keeps us far from God. So then how do we not know that all we need is a spiritual cleanse to free us from the grips of what is controlling us? We need to pray more and ask GOD to help us become free from the things that keep pushing us out of control.. Its okay we are human, we can get back up and get it together.... So are you ready to clean that fridge? Are you ready to clean it out andTo be free from negative and destructive junk, to be the whole and complete spiritual person that I was meant to be. To live life in peace and contentment.? You can do it, and if you need help please contact me I am here to help you soar freely into a new area of LIFE!

Here is my prayer for you today:PRAY it and watch GOD move!

 Father, I desire to be self-disciplined. I affirm that I am maturing in the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. I belong to Christ Jesus and have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since I live by the Spirit, I will keep in step with the Spirit. I resist and give no place to feelings of conceit, or the temptation to envy and provoke others.

I receive every Scripture, for it is God-breathed (given by Your inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to Your will in thought, purpose and action). This enables me to be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Lord, You did not give me a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Your divine power has given me everything I need for life and godliness through my knowledge of You, Who called me by Your own glory and goodness. Through these You have given me Your very great and precious promises, so that through them I may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desire. For this very reason, I make every effort to add to my faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if I possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep me from being ineffective and unproductive in my knowledge of my Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name I pray. Amen
