Joys of the healing journey: Stay in today


Stay in today - Matthew 6:34
I’m going through a healing journey and I am hopeful because I know that God will not let go of my hand. My writings this month will focus on lessons I learn on this unexpected journey.

Matthew 6: 34  So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.

Most of us have the tendency to plan ahead, but during a life crisis it’s almost impossible to do. I've found myself agonizing about what I need to do and then I realize that I can’t do it all right now. 

I cannot allow that familiar stress to overtake my heart right now. I have to concentrate on me and that’s just what I am doing today.

The Lord was serious when he said that tomorrow will have its own troubles. Deal with that you need to keep yourself motivated and open to healing today. Tomorrow will arrive and you will deal with it when you arrive there. Meanwhile, empower yourself with what can be done now.

Sweet Sixteen

  Today is my spiritual birthday – the date that changed my entire life.  It’s the before and after life changing date when my eyes were  opened to the divineness of God. I’ve been on an exhilarating and sometimes uncomfortable journey  full of experiences I never imagined I could or want to handle. But the best part of my journey is how God expanded my closed “religious”  mind and views. The knowledge I have is but a drop in the cosmic (heavenly) bucket; and I’ve learned that I’m in no position to impose my views on  people of different faiths or no faiths. There’s room at the table for all of us. We are all welcome and loved! There’s always room at the table. My life has been about constantly getting myself out of comfort zones  I prefer…always hesitating but drawn to the next adventure. That fateful, ever evolving connection to God has powered everything  about my life. It has taken me from the depths of despair to the heights of love;  from the holy experience of helping loved ones

How to stay young and youthful all your life

How to stay young and youthful all your life Word of Instruction from Dr. Charles F. Stanley These are my notes from today's broadcast . Scripture: Psalm 92:12-15 Psalm 92: 12 Good people will prosper     like palm trees,     and they will grow strong     like the cedars of Lebanon. 13 They will take root in your house, LORD God,     and they will do well. 14 They will be like trees that stay healthy and fruitful,     even when they are old. 15 And they will say about you, “The LORD always does right!  God is our mighty rock.” Keep learning – a lazy brain is a decaying brain Keep loving – don’t be bitter Keep laughing – 😊 Keep leaving your past behind – don’t live in the rear-view mirror of your life Keep longing Keep dreaming about the future – it’s a matter of attitude Keep looking your best Keep laboring and working – there’s no retirement in the Bible Keep learning, depending, and trusting in the Lord Keep listening to God – to know

Resources for citizen activists in Houston

Houston - we have a problem I confess that before the 2016 presidential election, I wasn’t interested or concerned about participating in government or politics.   That changed on Nov. 8, 2016.   It’s now painfully clear how important it is to know what our elected politicians are doing on local, state and national levels. It’s time to shake ourselves out of complacency. We must be involved in directing our basic American rights, our policing, our healthcare, our financial lives and more. Our families depend on us. The best way to do this is to get to know your elected officials and to vote.   Consider running for office or supporting someone you think has the gifts to be a politician. Our families are in crisis, our healthcare is in crisis, immigrant families are in danger and law enforcement may not be serving the interests of people of color   We need people who serve the interests of the majority of our communities These are my recommendations:
