"Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!"

I was playing a game Nintendo64 on my husbands DS. and I was in the upper rooms ;) and when you play the mini and huge mushroom levels you get to the top and there is this big looking round guy that throws you. Well, I was hoping not to get thrown back down to the bottom or off the mountain and die and I was thrown towards the top instead[Happy me!]. Isn't that just like the Lord. Things that look scary and can harm us God can use for good. He has said He has given us all power of the works of the enemy. All our enemies, depression, unhealthy anger, bitterness, etc. "Happy, happy, joy, joy" there is HOPE! :) :) :)
Hope everyone has a blessed day!

"For this reason, take up all the armor that God supplies. Then you will be able to take a stand during these evil days. Once you have overcome all obstacles, you will be able to stand your ground." Eph. 6:13

Speaking of Joy . . .

Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. (Luke 15:7)

The book "23 Minutes in Hell" [available@amazon.com] is an eye opener to the lack of God, which is a lack of life in every way. No water because God is not there and if you lack God there can be no water to quench any thirst for life or water itself, just like the man in the bible who desired just one drop. In Hell, it's too late. John 4:10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." In hell there is an eternal lake of fire created for Satan and his demons. It is not intended for humans. But if we don't "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand" which both Jesus and John the Baptist spoke about and if Jesus did it you can know it's God's will because first He never sinned and second He explained it by saying he only does the will of the Father in heaven.then there are eternal consequences that Jesus warned us about: He said, "Stop being afraid of those who kill the body but can't kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell." Mttw. 10:28

The Bible is very clear about heaven and hell. God did not come to condemn(to cruelly punish) you but to save you. (read John 3:17) That's why He died, so you could be set free but you must take Him up on His offer!

The Bible also says "today is the day of salvation."IICor.6:2 And we know living in this world, that we have no guarentees, the very breath that God breathed into you to give you life can be taken at any moment. So what will it be? Heaven or Hell? God is so good! So merciful! So wonderful! He loves you and I more than we can imagine at times. If you are in any torment, emotional, physical, mental, God can and will come thru for you! Just pray to Jesus and he will answer.

"Come near to God and He will come near to you." James 4:8

"If God is for me, who can be against me." Romans 8:31

"But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you." 1 Peter 5:10

Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS! Phil. 4:4

Hey look! RE-JOYCE!!! te, he, he..... ! Now Joyce Meyer I'm sure would rather we Re-joice in the Lord! Find JOY in the Lord again. Remember all the good things He has done and is doing and will do and you find yourself rejoicing, at peace and resting in faith. If you're thinkin' well, she must have it good and that's why she has it all together! I personally know a walk with Christ gives you a peace that surpasses all understanding because you will not understand I repeat, will not understand the circumstances you will face at times with the Lord. It's all about trust with the Lord. So no things aren't 'rosy' perse but God's will and blessings even in the least is His peace that remains regardless of circumstances. So if you can't Re-Joyce everyday because you're not Joyce lookin at yo'self in the mirror every day, know that all of us can REJOICE in the LORD always! [ok-a bit corny -but it is Oct. ;)]because God is a good God and you're on His mind all the time! Praise HIM!

Love in Christ,

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say ...
"... Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! ... Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice."

Faithfully Expecting

Jason and I are trying to concieve. I praise God for a wonderful OBGYN! I've found that I'm insulin resistant and now on meds and need to eat as if I were a diabetic. Knowing that I am obese and that diabetes is in my family I prayed earlier this Spring and asked the Lord for guidance and He had already impressed this on my heart which I shared with some friends and had started to change my diet now I'm adament about it though. Praise HIM!
God is so wonderful that He'll tell us about things ahead of time. I praise Him also for the medical confirmation! I'm grateful for appropriate medication and the info and care in the process of conceiving. I hope all is well for everyone. God Bless!

What is Joyce saying??? How she used to accomplish this or that .... How God changed her heart?... is she singing praises to His name? Well whatever the case the Spirit of the Living God and Spirit of rest and peace and yes Joy gushes forth from those who walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Re--JOYCE ;-) in the LORD always! PHIL. 4:6-9 <-- Look it up, meditate on it and be blesssed! - Tiffany Renee

Promises...

"What father among you, if his son asks for bread, would give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish, would give him a snake instead of the fish?" Luke 11:11

"They looked to Him and were radiant. And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out and the Lord heard him. And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them."

another update

Jason has applied again for a job in CT. We've had fun with Phase 10 and spaghetti night with the Beckhams. Visits with a few close friends have been wonderful, and as always we're waiting and praying for God's will and timing. Fall is wonderful and it's lovely on the Centenial trail. Pic updates soon. Our church is having a Women's Advance and my design for a T-shirt was chosen. Glory to Him, He inspired me and I obeyed and He helped me use my gifting of artwork to further glorify Him! How exciting! Hopefully if we do move I still get to go to the retreat. Well, it's less like a retreat and more like an intense spiritual advance, probably why they renamed it. Here's the pic:

Hello again...

Hi... I haven't blogged in such a long time. I'm debating on delaying getting started with Mary Kay (no car) or just finishing some art projects. The Christian Leadership Conferences were wonderful. So much teaching and impartation. Right before the conference started on Friday I got to plant some seeds of life into a young man on the bus and pray for a man in Burger King. Later that night as our friend Nick gave us a ride home a car started to swerve and was headed straight at us. I was the only woman in the car and I was thinking (split-second and barely out of shock of course) why aren't the men saying anything?! And then I opened my mouth and said "JESUS" really loud! Instantly, Nick turned the wheel to the right and we swerved off the road into some dirt and no one was harmed, no accident took place and we all made it safely home. Before the conference I had also prayed that angels would protect all those traveling to and from the conference and keep them safe (us included!) PRAISE Him!!! GOD our Provider and our Protector. I also had a chance to share this story with other people on the bus later in the week. God is sooooooooooo good! and greatly to be PRAISED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's My King - S.M. Lockridge

Security

Sometimes having a down day can be soooo beyond frustrating. I guess with my 10 yr. highschool reunion coming up I've put so much pressure on myself I got to the point of having a mini breakdown. With all the drama the world puts on each other whether that be highschool or a decade later "keeping up with the 'Jones'" it all gets pretty ridiculous when we look back and have an attitude of gratitude. Looking at all my husband and I have come thru in the last 5 yrs we should be dead, divorced or in an institution other than marriage! But we're not! And the glory belongs to Jesus Christ alone! While we're still pursuing our own dreams, each at our own pace, I remain so grateful for everything, including my husband, and close friends, in addition to a loving church family who loves me and accepts me for who I am, no strings attatched. I have an Awesome God, who loves me, cares for me and always has my best interest in mind and takes every situation and turns it around for my good and ultimately His glory! So while I'm still in transition and I have no idea how long I'll be here (not too long-no camping out) but if it's longer than I expected or wanted in order for my destiny in Christ to come to fulfillment so be it, I've surrendered once again, my will, my time schedual for His. With that: rejoice in what you have, come to the Awesome Creator, Jesus Christ, and recieve all He has for you. Lovingly, Tiffany Renee

Update..

I have been having back issues but Praise Him! I am able to raise both my arms again. I had to go to Urgent Care on Sat. But all was well(for the most part) by Sunday. I've enjoyed completing paintings in my home and will look into college online soon as my temporary plans as of last week won't go as planned. Make plans and then see what the Lord does, cliche--> yeah, bc of it's truth-->When God closes a door He opens a window. Other blessings: Jason and I were obedient to give something God put on our hearts on Sunday and even though it was a stretch for us, God had it so that by the time the day ended we'd been blessed 3X as much by midday. Amazing! <--these are not just financial blessings, but you can Never, ever, out give Our Lord Jesus Christ! Praises to Christ alone; with little and with much! Here is a little book review, it will take a while to update the ones I really like to share, but it will be enjoyable.
The Penny: A Novel by Joyce Meyer

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a wonderful book about forgiveness, destiny, and touches on points of coming out of co-dependancy. This is one of the top books I read in 2007.
