Making Praise

Thursday, October 08, 2009

As a suggestion from a fellow sparker, I am making praise fall out of my mouth. I had to order a copy of the book, "The Praise is Dynamite". My heart is heavy due to my Moma's illness and it doesn't look good in the natural, but I know that I know that I know God has this and He is the author and finisher of faith. I have gone to the throne of grace petitioning God and pleading the blood of Jesus over my life, my Mom's life and my family and friends. I know that God hears my prayer and His divine wisdom revelation knowledge will come forth. This is my comfort and my peace. When the anxious thought arises, I know that the peace of God shall and will surpass all understanding keeping my heart and mind focused on Christ Jesus!

Giving God Glory

Be prepared for Gods answer. It doesn't always come the way we expect it too but it's always right and the best one. Keep praising it'll definitely make you feel better and build your strength. Mega hugs!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Whose report will I believe???

Wednesday, October 07, 2009

I will believe the report of the Lord. October has historically been a whirlwind month for me. The difference for 2009 is that I am laid off, I am in grad school, I am job searching and I am diligently working on my weight loss plan. I have the stresses of life of having more month than money and yesterday my Mom's doctor gave a very grave prognosis of her disease.

I went to the throne of grace and asked God for wisdom revelation knowledge. I asked God to guide me in supporting my Mom in this cancer battle. I asked God for balance in my life, to develop my spiritual muscle, my physical muscle, my environmental muscle and my emotional muscle. I refuse to give the devil any space in my life. I know now isn't the time to quit, to give in or give up. Yes, yesterday was a hard conversation I had with three of my sisters. I wouldn't let my mind dive into a spiraling deep depression and let my heart ache. I am standing my ground with Christ and not allowing any curve ball satan may try to attack me or my family with to go forth. Obviously he didn't read the last chapter in the good book, the Bible-we win!

Don't give him an inch. Shake the devil off, then dance all over his head. Here's some shoes! Comment edited on: 10/10/2009 12:19:24 AM Report Inappropriate Comment

Kelly, know that your mom is in a win-win situation. I once heard a mother of the church say "I win whether this cancer takes me away or leaves me here. It may not seem like much to you if I live or die with this cancer, but baby, you need to know whether I stay on this side of the grave or the other, rest assured, I'm going to be in God's loving arms." I hope this mother's testimony encourages you and your siblings. Stand on the promises of God. He promised to never leave you nor forsake you. He is in control. You're in my prayers. Keep the faith. We win! Victory is in Jesus. Report Inappropriate Comment

That's an awesome testimony, thanks! You've got the right mindset for what you're facing, may you keep it through it all. I've been there and it's the best medicine for getting you through it. I just finished and about to read a second time a book called Praise is Dynamite and it talks about giving God praise in the good report and in the bad report just keep praising and watch God inhabit those praises.

Spark Anniversary

Tuesday, October 06, 2009

October is my one year anniversary with Spark people. Wow, what a difference a year makes. I am still in the trenches for battling this beast. I am more determined than ever in succeeding and reaching my goal. I know I am a child of the King and I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I made progress and I know that I have a ways to go. I know that i am the head and not the tail and I am above and not beneath. I know the Greater One lives inside of me. I am set the course to run a 5k by January 2010 and run a half marathon in 2010. I know I have met some wonderful people on Spark pages and I look forward to making more. I enjoy blogging, writing about my victories and my defeats and I have learned so much and I know I have much more to learn!

Thanks Spark People

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Monday, October 05, 2009

Our guest speaker at the Ladies event last Friday made an impact on me. I am still demanding my victories and refusing to let laziness set up shop in my life. Dr. Stacia Pierce said that laziness is our unwillingness to do the things we need to do to take care of business. I didn't feel like walking outside today, so i kicked it up a notch and did my couch to 5k training on my treadmill. I completed all eight cycles of run/walk and did extra minutes warmup and cool down I planned my menu today, including going to our Volunteer banquet tonight at church. I am preparing for my interviews and wrapping things up with my classes.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

Declare unto God

Sunday, October 04, 2009

I am still in the demanding my victories mode. Church was uplifting and I was able to get the cd from Friday evening Ladies event. I am determining my destiny, demanding my victories and planning on purpose. The peace of God will enter into my mind and destroy all confusion on the enemy. I can and will get to my goal weight safely, one pound at a time. I will rejoice in a pound loss and keep my focus. I will land a fantastic job and I will train diligently to run my race with pride and dignity.
