It's lonely on this side

I saw this book and I am going to purchase it. You see the title itself I am sure not only speaks to me but to millions of others. I just finished a book by this author and it was awesome. Leslie speaks to me on my level and I praise God for her gift of writing. One day maybe I too can publish something.....
Let me explain to you why my title is the way it is..... You see, I am understanding as everyday passes, that when you decide to walk in excellence with the Lord, that it can be a pretty lonely walk. I know that the Lord is with me always as he was with Joseph in all his mess but I mean that it's lonely when your own family doesn't seem to be walking with you. Sure, everyone has a different level that they are that, but despite the difference in levels, there should be a common ground more than not. It's not fun feeling like the "outcast" but I know that it's for the greater good. I know that Jesus went through so much more than I will ever go through. I know that Jesus understands where my heart is at and why I feel so alone at times. Sure at times, I would love to have some drinks and lay back and "chill". Sure at times, I would love to watch some horror movies and just listen to comedy no matter how raunchy it can get. But the fact is, it grieves me when I even think about it and of course if I do it, I won't be very happy as well. I know it's God changing my appetite for the things of this world and I thank and praise God because I never thought that I would be at this place, EVER! But there are just some days, like today, that I feel like...... well.......alone. I know many understand where I am coming from and yet others may not. And it's cool. I just wanted to get this out. Now..... let me do my study. I'm tired and want to go to bed soon. Good night.

New Place to live

We moved this past weekend. And it's a much bigger place, thank God. A little closer to my husbands job so that's also a plus. I am just about finished with placing everything in it's proper place. It didn't take me long because we had so much help from our friends. Thank God for all of them. We moved from a 2/1 to a 3/2, a family of 5 so you know it feels good to have the extra space. I have been so tired from the cleaning but it's all good. It's part of the package of moving. My eldest has his own room while the other two share a room. And my room is on the other side of the apartment and so we have a little get away if we wish...lol.

Fasting

As of tomorrow, I will begin a 40 Day fast and I will take you along with me as I will testify of God's mercy, grace and love during these 40 Days. I have chosen to abstain from certain foods as I seek God for certain things. I look forward to sharing with you all testimony after testimony of how God is moving and answering my prayers. Keep me in prayer as I go forward in God.

Be blessed

The Armour of God ( Ephesians 6:10-18)

Why is it that us believers, knowing we need to put on the Armour of God, don't? I mean, we put on our bras/undershirts and panties/boxers/undies. We brush our teeth, well at least most of us do, wink! We brush our hair and put our clothes on but the more important thing like the Armour of God remains in the closet on the hangers. God told us that we needed to put this Armour on daily because He knew that in 2010 we would face some really difficult situations. God tells us why we should and how we should put on this Armour. There are reasons as to why God specifies areas in which we need to be covered. We need to be covered from head to toe and that is because the enemy can attack anywhere at anytime. But the interesting thing about the Armour of God is that there is nothing to cover your back. Isn't that something???? I wondered about that and this is the Revelation I received. In battle, you never turn your back towards the enemy. Praise God! God has our backs but we NEVER should turn our back towards Satan. We will never see him coming if and when we do that. Every other part of the Armour of God is used to fight and the only way to fight the enemy is to face the enemy. Who's up for the fight?
