Prayer and Marriage
Amos 3:3 (ESV)
The word of the Lord say’s do two walk together unless they agreed to meet?
In a marriage it is very important that the husband and wife take time out to talk things out and come into an agreement. It will be hard for a marriage to be successful if there is no agreement. Also it is important to prayer together. Having been married for going on 19 years with God being the center of our marriage from day one, praying together is important.
Have you taking the time out to pray together?

Home & Family
The family and the home is not always going to be a bed of roses. Yes, there will be some yelling, crying, and sadness. But, as one remembers:
- The time shared watching the baby grow up and begin to do things on their own.
- Remembering the day the baby was born.
- Remembering the day you married the love of your life.
- Remembering those first words of daddy and mommy being spoken by your baby.
- Remembering the look in your loves eyes when you have been away from each other, embracing and saying I Love You!
- Remembering your family taking the time out to come help you while you were sick.
Love covers all the disappointing days! Love covers a multiple of sins! It is all about the Love baby!
Walk in love!
Be Blessed!
Family
One definition of family is a group of persons of common ancestry:clan.
We all are born into a family. Our biology siblings can not be selected, and no matter how much it may seem like we are so different, you are the same. You share the same blood, the blood of your father.
Another definition of family is a group of people united by certain convictions or a common affiliation:fellow.
We have some people who do not have siblings with them, but their friends have become that sister, brother, mother or father. They may not have the same father by blood, but they have a like spirit.
Regardless the definition used to define family. Family should be a representation love.

Romans 2:17-18 (NKJV) Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God. 18) and know His will and approve the things that are excellent being instructed out of the law.
One would tend to believe that one could only be a Jew/Jewish by birth right or converting and taken the Jewish oath. Based upon the word of the Lord by excepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are indeed a Jew. What good news! My husband would tell me all the time that we are Jewish, but I really did not believe and understand how he could make this statement. Now, that I have read it for myself, I can to say I am a Jew!
Did you know that by excepting the Lord Jesus as your Savior you are Jewish? Now you know!

Praise and Thanksgiving
I take a moment to stop and give God praise. Thank you Lord for the gifts you have given. I have moved into areas that are not comfortable and not familiar. I work quickly to get work done once. My thinking is changing. Although I am uncomfortable, God is stretching me and molding me so the I can be used more.
What we do in our everyday lives, may not done the same, never the less we do it. We cook, clean, eat, shower, laugh, cry etc, we all do it. For these things I say thank you. For molding and changing me, I say thank you.
My prayer today is the Prayer of Jabez. Read I Chronicles 4: 9-10 to learn more about this prayer.
Dear Lord, expand my territory, that your hand would be with me and that you will keep me from evil. Amen.
Do you want to be used by God? Do you want to do more for God? Pray this prayer.
Be Blessed!
Matthew 4:4 says “man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! God is rooting for us and He wants us to be victorious.
Through the words we speak, we can make a change. We can be effective. Our words have power to uplift or bring down low. Words like, you make me sick or you will never be nothing are not uplifting and does not encourage life. Instead is it saying, you are worth nothing, worthless. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Out of the mouth, spews blessings and curses.
Instead of saying , I can not make it, say I can make it. Instead of saying I can not do this or that, say I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
Be Blessed!
Scuplting
When you hear the word sculpting, it reminds ones of an Artist. An Artist carefully shaping their clay to make that spectacular master piece.
Sculpting is derived from the word sculpt, which is defined as to make or shape a statue.
Isaiah 64:8 says “But now, O Lord you are our Father;We are the clay and your our potter;And all we are the work of your hand.”
For each and every storm that blows your way. God is equipping you with longevity. Showing you how to endure without falling. He is trimming where it needs to be trimmed. He is changing the heart and the attitude.
Ahh, then it happens, a pearl is formed. Oh, that is pearl is you! So beautiful!
Dear Lord:
Continue to prune, shape and mold us until we become a pearl.
Amen.
Be Blessed.
Isaiah 35:4.. Be strong do not fear! Behold your God will come with a vengeance, with recompense of God. He will come and save you. (NKJV)
Do not fear, the devil, satan, your job, your boss or anyone. God does not give us the spirt of fear. He gives us a spirit of a sound mind and power by speaking the word of the Lord. The scripture reference Isaiah 35:4 tells us to be strong and do not fear. When you stand firm on God’s word, God will respond to His word. Speak the word of the Lord and the devil will flee. God will avenge you and He will compensate you.
You are being persecuted for His sake and your rewarding is coming. Do not faint, Do NOT GIVE UP!
Be Blessed.
Sending you much love.
