Refreshing along the way

I was watching TBN tonight and I came accross a highly anointed man of God, Kim Clement. These are his words as approximately as I caught them in my ear and I hope it blesses somebody today: He quoted Ps 139:17-18."How precious are your thoughts O Lord.How vast is the sum of them!Were I to count them they would outnumber the grains of sand. Ps 139:17-18. How many good thoughts does God think of you? How God thinks about you is not ugly, its beautiful . Yet you keep thinking negative thoughts of yourself. Stop thinking that way. Think good things about yourself. How utterly utterly true! God always wipes the mistakes of our past, beautifully spotlessly clean. Yet we persist in thinking bad about ourselves.Me included. I will make an effort to remember this striking passage.Its an excellent idea in fact and one of the important things I am going to teach my children. Pastor Kim Clement prophecied that the period May to October is a favourable time. I am looking forward toward the go

There’s something that I want to say, But I feel I don't know how. Until I just can’t hold it one more day, So I think I let it out. You’re on my mind more than I may show You’re in my heart more than you may know And the last thing that I want, Is to you to fall apart. Your future will be clearer, I want you to remember. In each tear there’s a lesson, (there’s a lesson) Makes you wiser than before (wiser) Makes you stronger than you know (stronger) In each tear (each tear) Brings you closer to your dreams No mistake, no heartbreak Can take away what your meant to be... We can’t change the things, That we done, that’s in the past. But fighting won’t get us anywhere, So if you want, Here’s my hand... Every night there is one thing I do I bow my head and pray for you (pray for you) And the last thing that I want, Is for you to fall apart you're future will be clearer I want you to remember In each tear there’s a lesson, (there’s a lesson) Makes you wiser than before (wiser)

1.Encourage them in the right direction. 2.Allow them to make mistakes and learn from them. 3.Pray for them constantly over their education,career,future, life partner, their life to be a blessing to others,exemplary behaviour,protection from all harm and evil. 4.Remind my children what kind of genes they are made up of....solid,strong,dependable,intelligent,make wise choices,know whats best for them. 5.They are strong enough on the inside to say NO. 6.To please God and not people. 7. Let them know the importance of boundaries in life. 8. To let them operate independently a little by little by trusting them age-appropriate wise.They learn from their mistakes and/or gain more confidence in themselves. 9.Learn self defense when required. 10. Stand firm in the face of bullies. Not to be cowed by them. 11.Bless them everyday.

1.God should be first priority in your life. 2.Obey your parents in all things because they are more experienced/knowledged with mistakes you are likely to commit.Trust them,be open to talk with them.If not your own, talk with other godly parents as well. 3.Put no confidence in your flesh.Always strive to gain victory in the spirit over flesh.By flesh I mean temptations toward food,drugs,sex,etc. 4. Have a goal in your life and work towards it.Ultimately one day you have to stand on your own feet to take care of yourself.Financial independence gains you respect. 5.Be careful in choosing your friends.Observe what they are interested in. If they are interested in fleshly things, then they are not the right kind of friends.Have friends who are godly and have goals in their life.Godly people are God fearing,honest and trustworthy. Ungodly friends might also be honest and trustworthy but leave God out of the equation....and most likely to compromise on their ethics. 6.Our ultimate goal in l

In my quest to encourage myself I was blog hopping as I said in my post earlier and there was this blog that had a "list of ten things that make you happy".Well making this list is bringing a smile on my face(been having teary eyed since morning).Hence this post. List of things that make me happy. 1.Rocky--she is my strong little rock...who is always there for me as my mom when I am in need. God is the Huge Rock. 2.My two little girls -developing cute little wings. 3.cuddling with my family. 4.my little porcelain basket holding my make up. 5.Smiles from anybody. 6.A newborn baby 7.Ramblings of a 2 yr old and how she establishes us as her own. 8.The best quote that makes me smile that someone said,"I have made beautiful babies!" ...this list will continue.

The weaker side of my faith.The reason of my writing this is to mainly encourage myself. I am going through a crisis right now that requires tremendous amount of faith for the next several weeks..Perhaps I am blowing it out of proportion in my mind. I had people pray over my situation and I derive comfort there.Yet, when God asks me to let go of my worries to Him I just cling onto my worrying and brooding as usual.This morning as I was blog hopping I came across a cute story about a young woman desperately wanting to be a mom in the face of odds and yes, soon enough God blessed her in an extraordinary way.Yes, she faced few challenges but yet God came through with her.She has such a generous heart. Few possibilities and realities to consider : 1. Instead of directing emotions inwardly (selfpity/lack of faith) find something else to think about, perhaps help and be there for someone else or find something to be grateful about.In my case,when I read about this young woman's story it

All the way my Savior leads me, What have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who through life has been my Guide? Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell! For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well; For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well. All the way my Savior leads me, Cheers each winding path I tread, Gives me grace for every trial, Feeds me with the living Bread. Though my weary steps may falter And my soul athirst may be, Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see; Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see. All the way my Savior leads me, Oh, the fullness of His love! Perfect rest to me is promised In my Father’s house above. When my spirit, clothed immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way; This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way. source: http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/All_the_Way_My_Sav

The Lord has been guiding me continually like he said in Isaiah 58:11~ "And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not." The Lord has provided wonderful network of support,spiritually, through family and friends. The Lord stood by His promises in many many instances. He made my enemies to dwell in peace with me. After marriage, I began to face life in earnest and discovered that life is never happily ever after.Through every situation God gave me His love and support. We had trouble with Raj's visa papers and God delivered us out of it. We were apprehensive about his getting a visa, God heard our prayers and enabled Raj to go. The Lord enabled us to join Raj as a family. Through Sharon's pregnancy,God guided us on to the right path and kept us safe. He enabled me to go to India for delivery among loved ones. He answered prayer

God is turning you into something you will be amazed when He is done. If God can change you,He can also change the people whom you are frustrated with. God is doing a good thing in you.We shd let and invite God to do what He wants to do in you and needs to do in you. God works even when we doubt,even when we go through trials,even when there is Our job is to pray ...God will answer the pray in His time,it could be even after when we are no more but what we asked of God, it will come to pass. Time is never a determining factor in God's eyes and economy. Study the things that God has done for you in the past .Everytime Israel forgot what God has done for them in the past they went into bondage. My work,my value,my acceptance and approval comes from the Lord. If people offend you or wrong you in some way, it is between them and God.I dont have to be hurt or drown myself in resentment and bitterness. God is not done with you yet, God has got new better bigger thingz for u this year, Go

Eat healthy. Loose weight,move more. Beleive in God's promises Grow in faith Have family devotions everyday at home. Enjoy everyday life. Every sunday make kids learn 10 verses Work on Loving God and do what pleases Him. Stop being a people pleaser and be a God pleaser. Pray.

Blessed is she who has BELEIVED that what the LORD has said to her will be accomplished !" Luke 1:45. And Abram BELEIVED the Lord and the Lord declared him RIGHTEOUS because of his faith Gen 15:6. He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised. Romans 4:20-21 God’s going forth is as certain as the dawn…” Hosea 6:3 I have taught you the way of wisdom;I have led you in the paths of uprightness.When you walk, your step will not be hampered;And if you run, you will not stumble. Proverbs 4:12-13 The LORD will guide you continually...You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." Isaiah 58:11 And yet... I know He is here ~ my El Roi ~ The God Who Sees Me. Gen 16:13 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten....Joel 2:25a You shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and sing

I thank God for this brand new day and dealing bountifully with me in His grace. The words that are etched on my heart today are PROMISE and BELEIVE. On Christmas eve 2009, Laurie gave me a passage to read during the service ,it was about the story of Mary visiting Elizabeth and in the end Elizabeth says to Mary these words: Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!" Luke 1:45. These particular words, as I read them in the church struck my heart so much that I pondered on it and decided to beleive what God says to me in His word. Elizabeth might have said that to Mary but it applies to everyone who beleives and take God at His word. Few days later I received a letter from Joyce Meyer with a magnet in it which said, "For as many as are the promises of God they all find their answer in Him" 2Cor 1:20. and the caption "I Promise you----God" That was when I decided to put more efforts on beleiving God's promises a

This blog is about Scriptures/Promises that I am believing in,my faith walk,Indian recipes, eating well facts that I am trying to collect,quotes,things to warm a heart,laughter, gratitude points,lessons learnt. This blog is also to encourage me in my goals in weight loss, my attitudes, my behaviour,my spirituality and things that speak to me in general....in short with God's help I aim to metamorphize into a vessel of glory.I am a person who encourages myself a lot and beleive myself.I also intend to include lessons that I prepare for my kid's devotion time.

I took a walk today around my neighbourhood.The new year started with a gloom of not being happy with myself.As I passed neighbouring homes,lawns and flowers, I sensed God breathe a new meaning for the word FRESH. FRESH = God's love at any given moment in time. It is always fresh and immeasurable in supply and always mine and ours for the asking. FRESH as in newly blossoming flowers with unimaginable hues. A FRESH start toward any venture that God is willing to supply me with enough grace to breeze me through. So begins my battle for weightloss and eating healthy through the year.Yes, this venture has started fresh in my mind today. It is God's doing and is marvelous in my sight. As I took a walk around I saw a rock,a place of rest.God is my rock and He is my place of rest when I am weary. I also saw a young deer (patio sculpture) with newly budded horns.The words whispered to me were 'graceful' and 'elegant'. That was a FRESH PROMISE for this year from God to t
