I Remember...

Have you ever had one of those days when you are just sitting there and thinking about your past?  I get those quite often. You sit and think to your self about how you would have done things differently or who you would be today if you did something that someone suggested.

Well think no more.... The past is the past and there is nothing you can do to change it----BUT---- you can change your tomorrow!


You are you and who you are is wonderful even if you don't see it. You might be thinking to yourself  "but Jemm, You don't know who I am, You don't know what I have done, You don't know what has been done to me".  That's ok, I don't need to know all of your life's details to know is that it is NEVER to late to turn things around, and if you cant turn things around it is always time for a new beginning!

"Your best days are head"

If you would like to know more about how to turn your life around or just need a listening ear, please comment. :)

Hope you have a wonderful day and Keep your chin up!

In Every Moment...

In every moment, my loved ones are divinely cared for.

The people I care about show strength and faith in their daily lives. Yet we all have times of stress, sadness, anxiety or unease.

When my loved ones are grieving a loss or experiencing a change, I gently remind them that they are not alone, for within them is the strength of God.  Within them is the ability to overcome any situation or setback. Within them is a resiliency greater than any challenge, for within them is divine power, providing strength and courage in times of need.

God's comforting strength is within the people I love every moment. I remind them of this truth, and see them filled with peace and assurance.

The Lord stood by me and gave me strength.

2 Timothy 4:17

(Daily Word,  pg. 23)

No Matter...

No matter what is happening in your life

When everything is falling apart

You will be safe in His arms!

God is always holding you in his hands. :)

When is enough?

So....

You are going through life and you meet someone who you just cant stand to be with out. You both have so much in common and you think the other person is just so good looking.  You share some laughs and some good times but then out of no where things start going down hill. Your b/f or g/f starts acting strange, not paying that much attention to you, verbally and fiscally abusing you. You try so hard to make sure you both don't get into any fights, you go out of your way to make them happy because you don't want to loose them.

BUT STOP!!!!!

Take a second and step back. Is that fair or is that even right? A relationship is about give and take, doing things for and with each other, using loving words. This explains what love truly is:

<< 1 Corinthians 13 >> New International Version 1984

---

1If I speak in the tongues^a of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,^b but have not love, I gain nothing. 

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails.

 But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

If you are not receiving these then how could the person saying they love you really love you? Also to those don't forget to also give these, like it says love is not self-seeking!

So ask your self...When is enough, enough? When will you walk away from the pain and hurt? Are you really staying with this person because you love them or is it something else? Their good looks? You think you can change them? There is only one person that can ever change anyone and that is God.

Please take it from me...walk away from anyone that is not treating you with true love. The longer you stay with someone that is hurting you the more pain you are only causing yourself. It ages you. So be strong, say your good by's and take time to find you again. Find the things you like, the things you enjoy doing and pray for your future soul mate. God will bring you just who you need!
