Some things should never change.

Hi, everybody!! I know, I know, it's been a few months since my last post, but I've been a little busy. My boys and I recently moved from Conway to Greenville,SC. We went from the awe inspiring ocean, to the awe inspiring mountains.
Thanks to the web and all of it's useful tools, you can take your own virtual tour through Google. The satellite view is nothing, compared to the street view. Check it out, it's absolutely beautiful!
Anyway, I've been doing some soul searching lately, about what my next post would be about. And late last night, it came to me.But before I get to that, I want you all to understand the comparison I am going to use, to get my point across.
I'm sure you all have had the opportunity , at one time or another,to play with a yo-yo. Just be patient, you will understand. When you play with a yo-yo, it starts at one place, and no matter what you want to do with it, the yo-yo always, always, has to go back to the place it started, before you can do anything else.
So with that image in your mind, now I will tell you my story.
There are so many people, places, and things in our life, that distract us from what is really important. Our families, our jobs, our finances, and so on.
But no matter what situation we have to face every morning when our feet first hit the floor, we have to focus on, what we are going to do, to deal with it. What are we going to feel, think, or say, to keep the craziness, from consuming us.
The solution is the same for all of us. We always have to go back to where we started. No matter what it is we have to do, or what it is we have to deal with, we can't do anything, until we go back to where we started. Much like the yo-yo.
That is where, no matter what or who you believe in, you have to go back to that. The beginning of our life on this earth, is what must always be the starting place, for everything.
Just for my reference, my beginning was God. So, when I have anything come across my path, He is what I go back to. I have programmed my life, my thoughts, and my emotions, to always, go back to that place.
It may be hard at first, but once you do it a few times, it becomes second-nature. It becomes a part of your day-to-day life.
This is where my faith solely lies. It doesn't lie in my car, my bank, my job, or any of those things, because God is in control of every one of those things. So I have to put my faith, where it is most important. And as I put my faith in Him, He will deal with the rest of those situations for me. As long as I obey His commandments and His laws, as stated in The Bible, I will receive the blessings, that He has had for me, from before I was ever born.
Have you lost your job; are you stuck in traffic and late for an appointment; have you lost your entire savings, or is your health suffering right now?
Go back to the beginning! Get in a quiet place, where there are no interruptions, and talk to God, and then just listen. He will tell you what, if anything, you are supposed to do or feel, in this moment.
I have certain things placed in key places throughout the house, as reminders. I have my Bible and 3 other inspirational booklets, by my computer. I have several other inspirational books, by my bed. I have a little notebook, with positive quotes, from famous people, next to me, and I have my mp3 player, with songs that I associate with God, and podcasts from Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer on it.
So no matter where I go or what I do, I always have a reminder, that I have to go back to the beginning, to get my answers, or the comfort I need.
I even write things on colored index cards, so I can take them in my car, as a reminder there too.
My point is, don't ever, ever let yourself get too far from where you came from, and who you really are. Other peoples'  opinions of us mean absolutely noting, compared to what our God thinks of us.
He is just waiting to talk to you and bless you, if you just let Him.
And one way I can prove this to you, is this. Continue fo the next week, just as you have been, caught up in the advice the world has to offer. But next week, change where you go for that same advice.
 God is communicating to you already, through newspaper headlines, billboards, street signs, and any other way He can. You just have to train yourself to look for the signs. They've been there the whole time, you just haven't been looking in the right place.
Try it. I can guarantee that He won't let you down, and you will see it. It's only 1 week, and it could change the course of your entire life. I know it has changed mine.
All of you are always in my prayers, and I will be talking to you all, very soon.God Bless!

The Good News!

Hey, everybody! It's been awhile, but this will make it worth the wait.
I just got back from Raleigh last night. I took my daughter, Megan, and my grandaughter, Danielle, up to see my sister and my mom. We had a good time with all of them, as we usually do when we go.
On the drive back home, I did a lot of thinking, which is what a long drive is good for. My life has changed incredibly fast over the past few weeks, and so, my perspective has had to change as well.
I, like so many others, got distracted, from the important things in life. I got caught up in the have to, to survive way of thinking, that most of us still believe in. But, it really isn't how any of us have to live. We have the opportunity to change our old way of thinking, for the generations that follow.
One thing that really came to the forefront, are 2 completely different situations, that are affecting my girls. And how through the "old way," of thinking, always comes back to the mistakes that I made as a parent.
Any parent knows that there is no handbook for raising children, because they are all unique. I know I could sit here and blame my mom for the mistakes that she made too, but I choose to take a different approach.
Instead of blaming her for repeatedly making what I prefer to call, errors in judgement, I choose to be grateful instead. Grateful for the fact that she was always there to make a choice.
She never gave up on us, especially me, when things got really bad. Her love never waivered, her faith never stopped, and in the end, she may not have approved of our decisions, but she understood.
She never gave up and walked away, and she will be 75 years old, in a few weeks, and she still hasn't given up. She still doesn't judge, criticize, or hold a grudge, for the choices we are now making as adults. She is my biggest fan, and my best friend. And every time I go to see her, I make it a point to tell her, that she was and is a good mother, and that I know she did the best with what she had.
So if you are critical and have any bad feelings towards either one of your parents, especially your mother, maybe you need to look at it from a different perspective. Parents may not make what we think would be the best choices, but the ones that they did make, were never made to intentionally hurt us. Most parents would do anything to keep their children from harm. Unfortunately, nobody is perfect, so the best of intentions are sometimes wrong.
To live, we absolutely, must forgive! We are hurting no one but ourselves, if we don't. The past has to be put where it belongs, and left there. It is part of our lives that cannot ever be changed, but can be learned from. It can be a useful tool, to not make the same mistakes, over and over again.
If you don't like your life, then only you can change it! It's not your parents fault that you are an addict, your depressed, or angry. Get alone and get with God. He will always be there to show you what it is that you need to forgive, or simply let go of.
Here is a quote from Guy Finley, who is an author I love!
" The first serving of any punishing wish or act towards another always goes to the one who dishes it out."
Wow! If that doesn't sum it all up, I don't know what does.
Let go of whatever it is that is holding you back from getting on with your life, and receiving Gods' goodness. The only one stopping you, is YOU! It's time to grow up, take accountability, and live the way God wants us to. Live a good life, help others, and pray everyday.
Life is awesome, once you look at with a clear mind and soul.
All of you are always in my prayers, but you have to first be in yours.
I will be posting more often from now on, and I sure would like to see some more followers. If you have any stories about Gods' work in your own life, please share them with me.
I will be talking to you all soon!

The Good News!

Hey, everybody! I know it's been awhile since my last post, but good things come to those who wait.
I'vve been a little busy,with life in general. I had an accident at home, and I've been out of work since last Wednesday. Unfortunately, I like so many others, have a problem taking my own advice.
I let myself get a little down, and kept everything, to myself. Which got me absolutely nowhere!
Anyway, I have been working, over the past few days, to get back to where I was at, before.
I even kept my grandsons, Austin and Gabe, for the weekend. Wow! Again, let me tell you how GREAT it is, that my baby is 16! I love being a grandma, but they are exhausting!
I am expecting my test results today, which will tell me where I go from here. I have been having one of my "feeling," moments again. The feeling that I'm not doing what God intended for me to do.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy working in retail, but there just has to be more. I know that helping others and writing are in my future, somehow. Whether my writing helps others, or I help others, and write about it. The two are somehow intertwined.
So, I got up today, and decided that, my thoughts will stay positive. I will think only positive thoughts, and look at my future with only optimism. Knowing I can do all the good that I possibly can, for all the people I can. God knows, we all need that!
Even though this post maybe short, I hope it touches at least one of you. And, I will be back soon, with,"The Good News!"

The Good News!

Wow! I didn't realize that it had been so long, since my last entry. Time goes faster, the older we get.
Anyway, hi everybody! I hope life has been treating you well. Life is going well for those of us out on the coast. The weather is pretty average for SC weather. Hot and a chance of rain everyday.
The tourists are rolling into town a little slower, but they're still coming. I really enjoy meeting new people, and I have the good fortune of meeting quite a few people, from IL. It's nice to talk to someone from there, every once in awhile.
But, I definitely know, I am exactly where God wants me to be. He brings different people into my life, that in one way or another, need my help.
At my job, which most of you know, is a new Walmart, in Carolina Forest. We just had our Grand Opening on June 17th, and it was really awesome, knowing that our hard work finally paid off. The store looks really good, and the customers were very impressed.
This is one of the ways that God provided me with so that I could help other people. Whether it's just showing them where somethings are at, in our store, or helping them in some other way, this is my purpose in life. I truly enjoy people. I've never met anyone that I don't have the patience for.
We all need to watch for those people that come into our lives. They were put there for a reason. Good or not so good, there is always a reason. Don't be in such a hurry, that you miss the importance of the little things that happen in your life.
People joke with me all the time about having OCD. Some may take that as an insult, but not me. I take everything that I do to heart. I may not succeed at every endeavor, but I try my best. I know that I don't have to be anything to anyone; I just have to be me.
I've made some great friends, at my job, in the past few weeks. We kind of compliment each other, so it works out well.
Life's challenges continue to flow in and out of my life, but I know with Gods' help, I can do all things. And I know, that when life starts getting to me, it's because I'm using my power, and not His. So I stop, pray, and listen for a response. Works every time!
Do you know your purpose in life? If not, ask God. If you do it with an open mind, you can find your true purpose. And you'll know when your at that point, because everything will suddenly make sense.
I hope life treats you well. And until next time, may God bless you, the way He has me. Take care, and I'll talk to you all very soon!

The Good News!

Hey, everybody! It's been 2 weeks since my last posting, and maybe you all are wondering what's been going on. Well, it's been a very,very busy few weeks.
You know how you pray and pray for something, and it seems like maybe God isn't listening?
He's listening! But He has to get everything lined up for the blessings we've asked for and then some.
I told you all in my last entry, about my new job. I started this past Tuesday, and I am EXHAUSTED!!!
Working 3rd shift at my age isn't easy. Fortunately, it's only temporary. I expect to be back in the real world, soon.
We also just celebrated Codys' 16th birthday. Can you believe my baby is 16! Where does the time go?
I was a little bummed out when I was getting ready for his party, but that changed really fast.
Lacey got sick, the day before his birthday, so I kept Austin and Gabe. Before long, I was rejoicing in the fast that Cody was turning 16. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my grandkids. But there is definitely a reason why God blessed me with my kids when I was younger.
Patience, is not one of my virtues!
In the past week I also decided to get on Facebook to see what all the buzz was about. I can't believe how many people I have found, and ones that have found me.
I never realized how much I missed some of them. It's been so long since I've even thought about a few of them, while others I've thought about often.
I hope I can stay in touch with some of them, and who knows, maybe they'll even become a follower of my blog?
I will try to keep posting once a week, but right now, I can't even keep track of what day it is, so you'll have to cut me some slack.
I hope you all stop, and look at the blessings we're given everyday. It would be a shame if you missed even the smallest ones.
Have a great week, and I will talk to you all soon!

The Good News!

Good morning, everybody! What a wonderful day we are having, out here, on the East Coast. Temperatures are warm, and we have thunderstorms moving through the area. You all know how much I love my thunderstorms.
The rain is a gift from God, so I can deal with oher things, besides my plants and flowers. Believe it or not, I actually have managed to keep some of them alive. Thanks, Lynn.
As expected, things are continuing to go well, for those of us in Conway, SC. We all have our moments. But it just takes us, stepping back from whatever is going on, to see that there is a lesson in there somewhere.
It's funny, because when one of us starts freaking out about life in general, there's always someone to remind us that everything will work out. Maybe not the way we want it to, but the way it should be.
And with every passing day, it gets easier and easier, to stay positive. Life is good. I have to say that I have never felt as much at peace, as I do now.
Sometimes when you stop and really take a look at your life, the blessings overwhelm you. We just need to take the time to enjoy and live our lives. Existing is not enough!
Go doesn't want us to exist, He wants us to live and rejoice. Absorb the awesome things that nature brings us everyday. Smell the air, the flowers, the rain. There is an endless supply of it for all of us.
No one can ever say, that they have had one day, where there wasn't anything to be thankful for.
I am always reminded of this, when I take Gabe and Austin out in public. They are both so easy to please. Gabe is so funny to listen to. I have him brainwashed about the #24. So now whenever he sees it, he knows it's Jeff Gordons' number. He even watches the races.
Seeing the world through their eyes, makes everything so much easier to deal with.
We all need to remember what it was like to be young and actually believe in something.
Try to go out into the world, with the eyes and ears of a child. What a refreshing change it is.
Life is what you make it.
I'm going to end for now, so I can do just that. Today, I'm leaving you with a quote I found.
"We are what we think. All that we are arises from our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." Buddha
Hope you all have a good day! Talk to you soon.

The Good News!

Hey everybody! What a great day it is, out here on the coast. Sun shining, warm temperatures, and another chance to live!
As most of you know, we have a major fire going on out here. They say it's the worst one in over 3 decades. The last estimate I heard was 16 million in damages.
And here is the reason that I started this newsletter. No injuries or deaths. That's " The Good News!" And " The God News," part of it, is that within 2 weeks, the trees that are blackened, will have small green sprouts of life. How amazing is that? Even the trees get another chance to live.
When I finally heard about the fire, I instantly got sick to my stomach. I personally know a lot of the EMT's, the County and City Officers, our Fire Chief, and most of the Horry County, and Conway Firefighters. I know their wives and kids, and how completely AWESOME, these guys are! They all worked , and are still working to put out the fire.
It is 100% contained, but without some rain, it could flare back up at anytime. But, we also got assistance from NC, GA, and the surrounding community Depts. And the outpouring of food, clothing, shelter,and even shelter for animals from the Vet Clinics, has been comforting to see.
God doesn't cause tragedies, but He definitely uses them to teach us.
Maybe today is the day you decide to listen and do something for someone else.
Instead of just forwarding e-mails, that originated from someone you don't even know, add a little note to it, to show someone, that you are especially thinking about them. Even as I'm typing this, I have no idea what's coming next, but I do have at least one of you that's reading this, in mind. The reason I don't use your name, is because I don't want to hurt your feelings, or embarrass you. That's not my intention at all.
There are messages that God tries to get to us everyday. When's the last time that you stopped, and really received it?
We all have the ability to control our destiny. The power of thinging only positive thoughts, maybe difficult sometimes, but it is possible. We choose who or what enters our life.
I had an MP3 download, by a man called, Antonio Thornton. It was a brief version of his take on , "The Law of Attraction." And one of the things he mentions, is how you can determine a lot, by looking at the 5 people, that are closest to you. Your financial circumstances, and your ability to live a positive life, were just 2 of them.
I mean, seriously, that should be a, "Here's your sign," moment. If you have 5 negative, and broke, peolple influencing your day-to-day life, how do you think your life would be affected?
The hardest thing, is when these people are your family or maybe even your significant other. Do you subject yourself to them, because you think you have to?
Well, let me be the first one to tell you, that you need to put some distance between you and any source of negativity, that comes your way. It's not going to be permanent. I actually had to do that with my own kids.
Lacey didn't live with me, and Megan doesn't live here, but Jeremy and Cody do. And although I still have to remind the boys, it gets easier everyday, and I can definitely see the change in them.
I love all of my kids the same, and as a mother, I always will. But I am not their friend , I am their mother. When I say," If you don't have anything positive to say, I don't want to hear it," they better listen. It's not disrespectful or mean.
This is the way I choose to live my life today. And, I refuse to go down the "what if, or why didn't you," road anymore.
We have this moment to live the right way. We are never guaranteed the next moment.
Any of you that know me, know how negative my life has been. But, I never realized just how exhausting it was to live like that. I still have my moments, but they only last as long, as I CHOOSE, to let them. It's a conscious choice we all have to make.
So, this week, I hope at least one of you, has your ,"AHA moment." And as always, I will be thinking about, and praying for you all.
Hope you all have a very blessed moment! Talk to you soon.

The Good News!: My Miracle!

Good morning everybody! As you all can see, my blog today, has a title. It's a story, of how I prayed for a miracle, and when it happened, it completely blew me away!
A few days ago, I was feeling pretty discouraged about things that were happening, to other people, that I thought should be happening to me. I caught myself getting angry, and fortunately, have become aware enough of my feelings and thoughts, that I stopped them from spinning out of control.
So I let my boys know, that I didn't want to be bothered, for any reason. Then, I turned on my MP3 player, and turned the volume way up! I started to really think through my feelings, and quickly went from anger, to action. I knew there was a reason that things were happening the way they were. And, that there was something, that I was doing, that was stopping them from happening to me.
This is where, God, The Secret, The Law of Attraction, and the many other resources I have tapped into, all came together.
This would be where, God and I had a personal chat, which we do quite often. I asked for a miracle that would directly affect me. See, you really have to be specific, on what you ask for, because the last miracle, I asked for, was answered by "The Miracle On The Hudson." I'm not complaining at all, but you see what I mean, about being specific.
Anyway, after the chat, I knew that I had to watch for signs, or nagging feelings, that were used to show me where a certain action, on my part, was needed.
In 2 days, I was led to updating some online job applications that I update, about every 60 days.
The first one was for Walmart. As I scanned through, to see what might have changed, I got to my references. One of which, was someone that I had let stay with me for a few months. Only to find out that she was some relation to Lucifer. And believe me, that is NOT meant to be funny!
So I quickly changed that information. And then it happened! The miracle I asked for PLUS, so much more!!!!
I got a call from Walmart, for an interview, the next day. They are in the process of building a new one in Carolina Forest, which will be opening in June.
After almost 3 hours, and 4 interviews,I was made a job offer. This is where it gets really good.
The offer was for a fulltime position, overnight stocking, 34-40 hrs. a week, $8.70 an hr.
I was soo excited, I wanted to scream! But I calmly walked to my car, thanking God, and my angels. And on the way home I thanked Him many, many more times.
I am still just shocked at how fast it happened. But things like this can happen to anybody, who is willing to control their own thoughts and reactions to any circumstances. You just have to watch for the feelings and signs along the way. Ask, believe, receive!
You can do anything, and be anything you want.
Life is GREAT, but only if you live it!!!!!!
I hope my story inspires one of you to take action in your life.
I'll continue to pray for you all. Hope you have a great weekend! Talk to you all very soon.

The Good News!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a good week, so far.
I waited until now, so I could type in peace. Cody is in bed, as he usually is, by this time, and Jeremy is in the shower. So this is my hour of alone time before I go to bed. That is, if my cat leaves me alone.
Anyway, I have to tell you all, about 2 new songs, I just heard, this past week. Both of them are songs on the new Rascal Flatts CD. The first one is "Unstoppable," and the other is "Things That Matter."
If you listen to everyword of these songs, you will be amazed at the message you get from them. And, as many times as I've listened to them, I still hear something different, everytime I listen to them again.
Isn't it funny, how you can read something. or hear something, and it applies to whatever may be going on in your life, as well as what may be going on in someone elses' life? It's all a matter of how we interpret the words.
I remember the church that my kids and I went to, in Champaign. The message our Pastor would preach on Sunday, hit home with not only my family, but everyone in the congregation.
That, is why God made us all different! We can do anything, be anything, and dream anything that we want.
I personally, like to analyze everything. Many times, that may be my downfall, but I'm quite curious about life in general.
I am inspired by music, books, and people I may encounter in my journey through this world.
I spend more time laughing now, than I ever have before. At least once a day, I have one of those moments, that cause me to go, okay, I get it now. Then I smile, and watch for the next one.
The best part, though, has got to be the fact, that the past gets a little further away, everyday.And let me tell you, living for today, is pretty cool!
If you all haven't been doing any reading, "The Secret," is still a must read, and "The Secret of Letting Go," by Guy Finley, is a good one too.
If you're happy with your life, congratulations! If not, start doing something about it.
In my life alone, I've personally seen miracles happen, and had God speak to me.It's not the earth shaking, or an awe inspiring event, unless that's what you asked for. Sometimes it's just a quiet, unmistakeable feeling or event, that gets your attention, just enough, so that you know it was meant for you.
It's been awhile, since I've watched the news, and quite honestly, it is so much eaier to talk to God, without all the depressing stuff that's on TV. And I haven't suffered one bit by NOT watching it either. Last time I checked, the world is still revolving.
So I have a challenge for all of you. For one week, don't watch any news coverage, of anything. You know what channels have the news, in your area. No news on the radio either, or the newspaper.
Read a good book, listen to your favorite music, TALK to your family, and if anyone tries to talk about anything negative, tell them that, if they don't have anything positive to say, you don't want to hear it.
I promise you, you will be amazed, at how easy it is, even after the first day. We all control whatever comes into our life. So if you only want positive, you can have it.
It will change your life!! And your life is worth it.
I'll be in touch with some of you before next week, but take my challenge and let me know how it goes for you. Any feedback is welcome.
Talk to you all soon!

The Good News!

Hi everybody! Hope your day is starting out well. The weather out here is beautiful today!
I am sitting here, drinking my coffee, getting ready to go out and conquer the world. I can't do that without ALOT of coffee!
Anyway, this week, I have been praying a lot, for guidance. I have these periods in my life, as everyone does, that I just feel like I'm on the wrong path. The way to tell when you are experiencing this is, nothing you do or say seems right. Where you go even seems wrong.
All this means is, at some point, you made a wrong choice. Whether it was being exposed to someone who was negative, or not calling someone that yoiu felt like you needed to talk to.
Quite often, it's something so subtle, that you probably just missed it.
That is why we have to be completely aware, and in control, of our thoughts. Somewhere along the way, we let our attention go to off track. In this instance, I probably thought I could help someone that has no desire to be happy, or overcome the obstacles in their life.
All that does is open up the dam of negativity, which then floods your life.
I know 4 people, that I care aboout, are all suffering from the same thing, right now. They all accepted, Jesus Christ, as their Savior, and have since, turned their back on Him. They are blaming their past, their families, their addictions, and whatever else they can think of, instead of realizing, they are only hurting themselves.
The only way other people can hurt us, is if We give them the power to!
For so many years, I lived like that. One day, I realized that the people I felt had caused all of my problems, had moved on in this world, and were living their lives.
I had to pick myself up, putting the past where it belongs, and start LIVING, instead of just existing. And if I can do that, anybody can!
It may be hard at first. But it takes more energy to feel sorry for yourself, than it does to feel blessed. It's never too late to change.
So don't waste another minute of the life that God has given you. He is just waiting for you to stop hurting yourself.
My favorite thing to say about people, who have done something wrong to me or my family is,
" The Lords' vengeance, is far greater than mine. " Then I smile and walk away, because that's what He wants me to do.
So to the 4 of you that I am referring to, you need to know that, by doing nothing, you have let another person, have the satisfaction, of winning. And as long as you do nothing, they will continue to win.
Gods' blessing waits for you everyday. If you are reading this, then He gave you another day and another chance to LIVE!!!!
And with that, I am going to go now and do just that. Just for today, I choose to live my life to the fullest, and let go and let God, deal with my enemies. They will not beat me!
All of you are in my prayers!! will speak to you soon!

The Good News!

Hi everybody! Sorry about being a day late, but my computer has been acting up for awhile, so I spent the past 2 days, scanning everything! You've got to love modern technology.
Anyway, today is my grandson, Austins', 7th birthday! Feeling old fades quickly, and feeling blessed overwhelms me.
God gave me 1 more day, and 1 more chance, to live, to breathe, and to be humbled by life. And if you are reading this, He gave the same to you.
I took off this morning, for one of my many, purpose seeking drives. I do this when I feel like I'm missing something, in my daily, God given mission. I head towards Myrtle Beach, with my windows rolled down. I breathe as much of the ocean air, that I can. I inhale any positives, and I exhale all negatives. This is something that has to be done, by everybody.
This is possible for all of you.
We all have to be grateful for what we have now. Only then can we ask for more.
The key to gratitude, is that you have to be grateful for EVERYTHING!! The good things are not the only ones that you should be grateful for. Except, and be even more grateful, for the tough times.
We are able to be happy, faithful, and blessed, through it all.
If everyone would tell themselves that, hiding from who they really are, does nothing but create more pain and more loneliness, their lives would be totally transformed.
Regardless of your life, right now, it's never too late, to change. You can start today!
Don't waste another second! Make the right choice for you, and when your kids or grand kids see the positive way you're living your life, they will begin to do the same.
These are the kind of habits you WANT them to learn from you.
And PLEASE, don't pay any attention, to the genetic links , or the statistics, that say you or your life, are going to be a certain way.
Your life, can be whatever you want it to be. The only thing stopping you, is you.
Do something today, for someone else. You will feel great!
I will be talking to some of you very soon. The rest of you, take care!
See you next week!

The Good News

Good morning everybody! I hope you are all doing well today.
Before I get started, I just want to remind all of you, about my motivation for starting this newsletter.
The book,"The Secret," took my life to places, and through things, that I otherwise, would never have experienced. It's really been amazing to me, that one seemingly small thing, could be such a tremendous blessing, to me and so many others.
The best part of it all, is it's FREE! You can't get any better than that.
All of the websites and books, that I talk about, are created by other believers, and real people, that you can e-mail, or call. People from all ethnic backgrounds, and age groups. All of them willing to help and support you in any way they can.
Our lifes handbook should always be the Bible.
These other books that I refer to, are like magnifying glass for the Bible. They take the word of God, and make it a million times stronger and better.
Just this past week, the culmination of my past experiences, both good and bad, came together, to create one amazing, and life changing moment.
I went to get my grandson, Austin, off the school bus. When he saw me, he said, Grandma, and threw his arms around me.
It was in that exact moment, I thought to myself, THIS, is why. This is why I took every right, or wrong path; took every chance; cried so many tears; felt every joy and pain. Because if one small thing had been changed, that moment would have changed. And, I wouldn't have missed it for ANYTHING!
God blessed us all with the opportunity to make choices. Can any of you, honestly say, that you would change anything that's happened up to this very minute, knowing that it would have changed the most precious thing in your life?
So, whatever you have to do today, just slow down. Look, listen and pay close attention to everyone and everything around you. "Opportunities are easily lost, while waiting for the perfect conditions."
My favorite quote, has got to be, "what you think about, you bring about."
There is hope for all of us. If you have turned your back on God, and what you know is right, just turn around. He never gave up on you. You gave up on yourself.
You are using more energy being miserable, than you would, if you were focused on being positive.
What would it hurt, to just look at the books and websites, that I talk about?
I have to end for today, but know that you are all in my prayers.
Here is a website that you all need to check out.

Re: The Good News!

Hey everybody! Hope you all got the e-mail with my new link to my blog. I'm kind of new at this, so you'll have to bear with me, until I figure it all out.
Once I do, we'll be off and running! And, Please, if you know anyone, anywhere, who may benefit from reading this, share it with them.
See you Thursday!
