Word today

On this day of your life, D, we believe God wants you to know...
... that it's time to STOP going through the motions of living, and START living.

Are you willing to do that now? Or are you going to wait until all life energy drains out of you and your loved ones who are trying to support you at this very moment? You were not born to follow rules and regulations. Living starts with dreaming. So dream, dream friend, and let dreams show you the path to your bliss.

Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Intimidation ..In*tim..i*da"tion.., n. [Cf. F. intimidation.] The act of making timid or fearful or of deterring by threats; the state of being intimidated; as, the voters were kept from the polls by intimidation. The king carried his measures in Parliament by intimidation.



Lesson at Church was about intimidation. I had never really thought about it before
especially when it was being done to me as an act of the enemy but it really is.
I always looked at what was being spoke to me as a power play from someone
higher up in the order of the hierchy we are supposedly formatted with.
I am at fault also for not following the leadership position I have been placed by not
following the expectations of what I am supposed to be doing as far as a papertrail of
disciplinary actions. I am one of those who says "don't do that again or I am going to do whatever"
I have been not doing my job on the disciplinary thing by being afraid of hurting someone's feelings or getting someone angry at me. If the person is not doing the job that they agreed to do when hired it is them that are doing the wrong thing not I by doing my job.
I will not be questioning myself any longer on the right or wrong thing to do.
I will not let the enemy intimidate me with any of his demeaning remarks about being
unfair and unjust about my performance at work as a leader.

I realize that now.
duhhhhhhhh, I have always known that anything negative is from the enemy
and anything good is from God.

By not stepping up with confidence as the leader I am, I am allowing the enemy to
get in God's Way in my growth,my progress, and my purpose.
This is another awareness of how I must constantly keep the enemy under my feet every morning I wake and Praise the Lord all day for helping me to be the woman
He desires me to be for Him.
Thank You Lord for putting that Word on Pastor T's heart and sharing with us

my message

I got a message that on this day, God wants me to Know...
... that faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty.

Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

Hmmmm, I'm over 40.. LOL wondering if I could get away w/this.. roflmbo

A mature (over 40) lady gets pulled over for speeding...

Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?


Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.

Older Woman: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your license please?

Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.

Officer: Don't have one?

Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.

Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.

Older Woman: I can't do that.

Officer: Why not?

Older Woman: I stole this car.

Officer: Stole it?

Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.

Officer: You what?

Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see

The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please!

The woman steps out of her vehicle.

Older woman: Is there a problem sir?

Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Older Woman: Murdered the owner?

Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.

The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?

Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.

The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.

Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.

Don't Mess With Mature Ladies
If you want to brighten someone's day, pass this on to someone you know.

What do you dabble in thought.

“How could a loving God allow suffering or evil to happen in my life or in the world?”

We’ve probably all dabbled in this way of thinking. It is a mentality that robs us of the sheer delight of enjoying the most beautiful being in the universe. Any doubts of His goodness will lead to low and negative expectations.

Let's change it TODAY:

1. Believe in the goodness of God. James 1:17 says, "Every GOOD and perfect gift comes from God." Anything that is not good or perfect, is not from God.

2. He is touched by our feelings and infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). No one is touched as deeply with humanity’s pain and anguish more than our Heavenly Father. Our sorrow and suffering, aches the heart of God. He weeps with us, and offers His mercy in grace in time of need—Hebrews 4:16.

3. Change the way you look at love. LOVE gives free will. If God forced everyone to do right, it would be slavery. Life would become meaningless and there would be no virtue if it were forced virtue; no honor if it was forced honor. No love, if it were force love. (Deut. 30:19) Suffering was born when man choose to disbelieve and disobey God (Genesis 2:16-17).

4. Join Paul in believing that no evil can separate us from the love of God. (Romans 8:39) Though we don’t understand everything, our trust is in His love. “Knowing God” is better than “knowing why”. (Of course, that doesn’t mean that we just accept whatever happens in life. We have authority to make right choices, to exercise our God-given rights.)

5. Understand God’s patience. If God wiped out everyone who ever caused pain by selfishness, lying, hatred, anger, or cheating, who would be left? We would all be swept away. If we are sane, we don’t want justice. We want and need mercy! James 2:14—Mercy triumphs over judgment.

6. Believe that, though God doesn’t cause evil, He can still bring good in the midst of evil or suffering. (Genesis 50:20)

THINK IT & SAY IT:
I believe in the goodness of God. He is ALWAYS good. He feels AND bears my pain. His love gives me the power of choice, and I choose to believe Him and honor Him. And no matter what, nothing can separate me from His love. His mercy triumphs over evil and believe He can bring good in the midst of any bad situation, in Jesus’ Name!

Could this be Real???

Bottled
water in your car is
very
dangerous!


On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said this is what caused her breast
cancer. It has been identified as the most common cause
of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer
tissue.

Sheryl
Crow's oncologist told her:
women
should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
The
heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the
bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is
a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue.
So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has
been left in a car. Pass this on to all the women in your
life.


This
information is the kind we need to know that just might save
us! Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle
instead of plastic!

LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / GIRLFRIEND /
DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE!

This
information is also being circulated at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center

No plastic
containers in
microwave.

No
water
bottles in freezer

No
plastic wrap
in microwave.

A dioxin
chemical causes cancer, especially breast
cancer.

Dioxins
are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic
bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Edward
Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV
program to explain this health
hazard.

He talked
about dioxins and how bad they are for
us.

He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using
plastic
containers...

This
especially applies as to foods that contain
fat.

He said that the
combination of fat, high heat,=2 0and plastic releases
dioxin

into the
food and ultimately into the cells of the
body...
Instead, he recommends using
glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex
or ceramic
containers
for heating food.. You get the same results, only without the
dioxin..
So
such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and
soups, etc.,


should be
removed from the container and heated in something
else.

Paper isn't bad but
you don't know what is in the
paper.


It's just safer to use tempered
glass, Corning Ware,
etc.
He
reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food
restaurants moved
Away
from the foam containers to
paper. The dioxin problem is one of the
reasons...


Also, he pointed out
that plastic wrap, such as Saran wrap,
is just as dangerous when
placed
over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the
high
heat
causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and
drip into the food.





Cover
food with a paper towel
instead.

My Saturday message

On this day of your life, D, we believe God wants you to know...
... that humans learn only by trial and error, and that includes you.

You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.
