YAHOO, I JUST HEARD FROM MY VERY, VERY GOOD FRIEND!!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE ROBIN AND OTHERS ARE READING. I PRAY GOD WILL USE ME IN SOME TERRIFIC WAY FOR US ALL. WHAT A BLESSING YOU ARE ALL THAT ARE TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY CORKIE MOMENTS. AND AGAIN, THOSE THAT KNOW ME KNOW I AINT KIDDING ABOUT CORKIE!!! THAT'S HOW I GOT THE NICK NAME.....I THINK. ANYWAY, I AM UNDER TAKING A BIG COMMITMENT AT CHURCH AND I NEED ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS. I AM IN TRAINING AND THE TRAINING IS EVERY THURS NIGHT FROM 7-9:30PM!!!!! WHAT ABOUT MY BEAUTY SLEEP???? I REALLY FEEL GOD CALLING ME HERE AND OR COURSE I WILL KEEP UP WITH MY FRIDAY BIBLE GIRLS DOING BETH MOORE. AND CHOIR. AND I AM READING WITH KIMMI AND LAUREN THEIR BIBLE STUDY RIGHT NOW AND BOY IS THAT ONE A BLESSING TOO. IT IS HITTING HOME. SO, THAT GIFTING THING THAT SATAN WAS ALL OVER IN MY LIFE, I AM BLESSED TO SAY, NOT HERE SATAN. GET BEHIND ME AND MOVE ON!!! I BELONG TO GOD IN ALL AREAS OF MY LIFE. SOOOOOO, KEEP GOD THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE AND KEEP IN HIS WORD.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL

YEAH GOD!!!!!

THIS MORNING IN MY PRAYER DEVOTION,( WHISPERS OF HOPE, BY BETH MOORE) I WAS HURRYING THROUGH THE READING (BECAUSE I HAD TO GET READY FOR CHURCH) AND IN MY HURRYING (BECAUSE I HAD TO GET READY FOR CHURCH) I JUST CAN'T TELL YOU THE DOUBTS THAT SPRUNG UP!!!! LET ME JUST SAY, THE THEME OF THE STUDY WAS 2 COR.. 13:5 "EXAMINE YOURSELVES TO SEE WHETHER YOUR ARE IN THE FAITH, TEST YOURSELVES." NOW I COME FROM A LONG, LONG HISTORY OF LOW SELF ESTEEM ACCOMPANIED WITH A PEOPLE PLEASING MENTALITY. I WANT THE WORLD TO LOVE ME!!!! I WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY AND KEEP THEM HAPPY!!!! AND OF COURSE, MORE THAN ANYTHING, I WANT GOD TO LOVE ME AND I WANT TO MAKE HIM HAPPY AND KEEP HIM HAPPY. NONE OF THIS OF COURSE HEALTHY, ALL OF IT UNDERSTANDABLE CONSIDERING......... SO IN MY HURRY (BECAUSE I HAD TO GET READY FOR CHURCH) I AM GIVEN SEVERAL WAYS TO TEST MYSELF TO SEE IF I AM, "IN THE FAITH". 1. CONVICTION OF SIN 2. A WAR WITH OUR OLD NATURE 3.A STRANGE SENSE OF PEACE 4. AN ALIEN ABILITY TO RESPOND LIKE CHRIST. I WAS TOTALLY CONVICTED!!!!!!!!!!! I FLUNKED. I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET HOME FROM CHURCH TO DIG INTO THIS STUDY. AM I REALLY SORRY FOR SIN? TO THE POINT OF KNOWING MY SIN PERSONALLY OFFENDS GOD? IS MY NEW NATURE FIGHTING WITH THE OLD? DO I HAVE A STRANGE SENSE OF PEACE? UHHHHHH DO I HAVE AN ALIEN ABILITY TO RESPOND LIKE CHRIST OR AM I JUST AN ALIEN? BELIEVERS BIBLE COMMENTARY BY WILLIAM MACDONALD SAYS FOR 2COR. 13:5 "AS TIME GOES ON, WE DO FIND OTHER EVIDENCES OF NEW LIFE, A NEW LOVE OF HOLINESS, A NEW HATRED OF SIN, A LOVE OF THE BRETHREN, PRACTICAL RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD". LORD HELP ME, I'M LEARNING!!! AND DESPERATELY TRYING!!!
MORAL OF THE STORY......IF I HAD TAKEN MY TIME, GOTTEN READY FOR CHURCH EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY, PREPARED MYSELF FOR WORSHIP, NOT HURRIED THROUGH MY DEVOTION, NOT BEEN PREOCCUPIED WITH SELF IN CHURCH, I MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE ONE KEY SENTENCE IN THE STUDY......."BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO LIVES OF FAITH, SATAN SEIZES EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SOW DOUBT".

WELL, TODAY IS MY BABY'S BIRTHDAY, SO I WILL POST ON HOW BLESSED I AM TO HAVE KIMMI. SHE IS NOT ONLY A BEAUTIFUL GIRL ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT SHE IS ALSO A BEAUTIFUL GIRL ON THE INSIDE. SHE LOVES HER GOD AND SHE HAS CHOSEN AN OCCUPATION WHERE SHE CAN SERVE HIM DAILY. SHE HAS GROWN SO MUCH OVER HER 29 YEARS BUT PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS SHE HAS GROWN IN THE PAST YEAR. SHE HAS GONE THROUGH TRIALS AND HAS DEPENDED ON GOD TO GET HER THROUGH WITH FLYING COLORS. MY PRAYER FOR HER IS THAT SHE WILL CONTINUE TO DEPEND ON GOD AND KNOW THAT HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR HER, EVEN WHEN I AM NO LONGER HERE. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY SWEET BABY GIRL, AND IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES YOU EVEN MORE THAN ME....BUT HE DOES!!!!!! REST ON HIS LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU AND NEVER STOP SEEKING HIM. I AM PROUD TO BE YOUR MOMMIE.
BLESSINGS TO ALL

DID YA EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE MORNINGS? JUST STARTS OUT WHERE SOMEONE DOESN'T ACT OR DO OR SAY WHAT YOU WANTED OR THOUGHT THEY SHOULD? HAD ONE YESTERDAY AND AS WELL AS BROOD ABOUT IT, I DID KEEP TURNING OVER TO GOD. OVER AND OVER AND OVER. THEN IN BED READING BY DEVOTIONS COMES MY ANSWER, SUPPORT, HELP. IT IS FROM BREAKING FREE DAY BY DAY. MAY BE I SHOULD READ THIS IN THE MORNING!!!! BUT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HELP SOME OF YOU OTHER GIRLS OUT THERE. SO I WILL POST 9-11-8 ENTRY AS WRITTEN........
THOUGH IT DELAYS, WAIT FOR IT, SINCE IT WILL CERTAINLY COME AND NOT BE LATE. HABAKKUK 2:3

SINGLE PERSON:IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST, YOU HAVE THE ULTIMATE RELATIONSHIP AHEAD OF YOU. IF GOD CALLS YOU TO A LIFE OF SINGLENESS, FEEL SPECIAL, AND SAVE YOURSELF ENTIRELY FOR HIM!

HUSBAND OR WIFE WITH COMMON FRUSTRATIONS: GIVE YOUR SPOUSE ROOM TO BE HUMAN. FORGIVE HIM FOR NOT BEING GOD, FORGIVE HER FOR NOT ALWAYS SAYING WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR.

UNTIL THE ULTIMATE RELATIONSHIP ARRIVES, LET YOUR MIRROR IMAGE BE THE FACE OF CHRIST. YOUR BRIDAL PORTRAIT IS BEING PAINTED ONE DAY AT A TIME.

SO THERE IT IS. FILE THIS AWAY FOR YOUR DAY THAT DOESN'T START QUITE AS YOU EXPECTED, REMEMBERING WE ARE HUMAN AND WE ARE FORGIVEN, AND WE ARE LOVED BY A WONDERFUL GOD. I ALSO READ RECENTLY THAT GOD PUTS PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES THAT ARE JUST LIKE US SO WE CAN HELP THEM THE MOST BY SHARING WITH THEM HOW GOD HAS HELPED US. THINK OF THAT NEXT TIME YOU GET IRRITATED WITH SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE......THEY ARE JUST LIKE YOU!!!

LOVE YOU ALL AND HIS BLESSINGS TO YOU!!!

SUFFER WITHOUT BECOMING DISCOURAGED. WOW IS THAT HARD. JUST ASK KIMMI, CASEY, ME ANYONE......IT IS SO HARD. SOMETIMES IT HURTS SO BAD. I CALL ON GOD AND HIS WORDS ARE REVEALED TO ME.
I BELIEVE, LORD GOD, THAT I WILL SEE THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR GRACIOUS HAND AND LIKE DAVID, I AM CONFIDENT OF THIS: "I WILL SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING. WAIT FOR THE LORD; BE STRONG AND TAKE HEART AND WAIT FOR THE LORD." PS 27: 13-14
I CLAIM JER.29:11 FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, DECLARES THE LORD, PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO HARM YOU, PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE.

I CALL TO YOU LORD AND COME AND PRAY TO YOU, AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU PROMISE THAT IF I SEEK YOU I WILL FIND YOU WHEN I SEARCH FOR YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. YOU DECLARE "I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU AND I WILL RESTORE YOUR FORTUNES AND GATHER YOU FROM ALL THE NATIONS AND PLACES WHERE I BANISHED YOU' THE LORD DECLARES.' I WILL RESTORE YOU TO THE PLACE I DEPARTED YOU FROM."
THANK YOU LORD GOD!!!!

HI GIRLS!!!! SO I WAS WATCHING BETH MOORE ON TV, WEDNESDAYS WITH BETH ON JAMES ROBISON AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT FORGIVENESS. SHE ALWAYS JUST PINS IT DOWN THROUGH SCRIPTURE. WE HAVE OFFENSIVE PEOPLE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH DAILY AND AS GOD'S CHILDREN, WE ARE TO FORGIVE THEM. I KNOW IT IS HARD BUT AS BETH POINTED OUT, WE DO IT THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD. I'M NOT POINTING FINGERS AT ANYONE, CAUSE I KNOW THE PLANK I HAVE IN MY OWN EYE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED BEFORE I DARE REMOVE A SPECK IN MY NEIGHBORS EYE. HYPOCRITE MEANS PRETENDER. AND I'M NOT GOING TO PRETEND TO BE BETTER THAN ANYONE. SO HOW DO WE FORGIVE? BY KNOWING GOD LOVES ME AND THAT I AM GRACED BY GOD. I HAVE TO FEEL HIS FORGIVENESS THAT HE HAS LAVISHLY GIVEN TO ME AND I HAVE TO RECEIVE HIS GRACE THAT HE HAS SO BLESSED ME. OUT OF THIS LOVE, COMES LOVE. OUT OF THIS GRACE, COMES GRACE. I CAN FORGIVE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN MUCH. I CAN GIVE GRACE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GIVEN MUCH GRACE. SO MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLS, LIVE LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS DEARLY LOVED AND GRACED AND YOU WILL BE A BLESSING TO ALL PEOPLE.
I AM LOVED AND COMPLETELY GRACED TODAY. YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLESSINGS
