On February 27, 2010 was awaken by my sister about a Tsunami Alert. 6,000 miles away in Concepcion, Chile their had been an Earthquake 8.8 Magnitude. It had causes much devastation, yet the death toll was minimal, unlike Haiti.
It caused an alert that trigger a Tsunami warning for the whole Pacific Basin.
The thought that crossed my mind was to watch and be in prayer. The Book of Revelation also cross my mind. God is Good all the time. All the time God is Good. I am grateful for another day and the many blessings.

The thought that cross my mind!
Today after reading something that had been post on facebook
In difficult times ahead
Posted by Anneline Strauss- Stein at 7:50am How many of you woke up today with the feeling that it would have been best if you just didn’t wake up? That is a very scary thought, but sad to say so many people feel that way. We have dreams and plans for the future, things we want to do and achieve and every day we wake up and just another day has gone past and nothing has happened. We think to ourselves that by the look of things it will never change, and its best we just give up. We pray and pray but nothing seems to happen, nothing seems to get better. We wonder if our finances will get better, we pray that our marriages don’t fall apart, we pray for that dream job, but nothing happens. So we think that prayer doesn’t work and we stop.
My dear friends I don’t have answers to when things will get better or how it will get better, but I want to encourage you to not give up. Anyone can give up that is the easy part; the challenge is to not give up. You may say that is not so easy and I do agree, it’s hart work to stay focused and positive. But who says we need to do it on our own? We forget that we have a Father that is full of mercy, love and grace. We only need Him in our lives. He made a promise to us and you just need to remember it, for has said in His word:
Deu 4:31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
God loves you and that is something satan can never take away from us. The thing I would like to ask from you today is to never stop hoping or lose your faith. You might thing things don’t look good right now and it will never get better, but the fact is you don’t know, you can’t see the future only God knows what is in front of us. That is why it’s so important to trust God and believe He will bring good unto us. God wants what’s best for you, He is your Creator, and all He wants from you is believing in Him and trust that He will do the best for you.
Lets not give the enemy what he wants, our faith in God. Without faith and hope we have nothing and are we totally lost.
Be strong my friends, things will get better. I don’t know when but trust in God
I have learned that God always knew what was best for me, its the choice I make that determine the outcome. I have learned that everthing has a consequence whether it be good or bad. God alwqys knew what was best for me no matter what.

Rememberance of God Mercy, Love and Grace
Here are a few words to a very familiar and popular Song.
A song that brought rememberance, reminding me that the same Love, Mercy and Grace, he showed me I need to show others. I really like this group and their Music.
I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
You're holding on to me
Thank You Lord.

Looking Back!
This is came about because of a disscussion due to the upcoming Holiday that was approaching. The subject of the Gettysburg Address, was among the discussion and I was asked if I knew it. I recited the first 2 paragraphs by memory.
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.
I was surprised that I could recite even the first 2 paragraphs by memory.
We have been bless as a nation our freedom did not come cheap.
Thank you to those men and women who have given of themselves for this Great Nation. May God Thank You

I Am a 'Kept' Woman!
'Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.
The way you cope with it is what makes the difference'
I've often told people who ask me what I do, that I'm a "kept woman"...this is the kind of "kept" to be!!
I Am a 'Kept' Woman!
You see , there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind ,
But GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)
There were times when I thought I could go on no longer ,
But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen. 28:15)
At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong ,
But the LORD kept my mouth shut. (Ps. 13)
Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough ,
But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc... , (Matt. 6:25 -34)
When I thought I would fall,
HE kept me up.
When I thought I was weak,
HE kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7 , Matt. 11:28-30)
I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!
I'm blessed to be 'kept.'
Are you...or do you know a 'kept' woman ?
If so pass it on to her to let her know she is 'Kept'
I'm Kept by the Love and the Grace of God!
I am indeed a 'kept' woman and praise God for it!
Hope you can share this with other kept women!

Reminders! "'BOY DO WE NEED THEM"
Today I was frustrated because of something that was said, and became upset. Before I would have gone off on the person. I really had to ask GOD to humble my spirit and to take this feeling of anger away, also to take captive the thoughts that was not from him and bring it into obedience. Proverbs 22 was what was brought to mind. At first I did not quiet understand and I so needed God to help me. After asking for help, GOD laid this passage on my heart. Proverbs 22 "Moral Virtues and their Contrary Vices." Thank God for his love, mercy, and guidance and I know he is always faithful. After reading Bible passage I understood, and a feeling of peace came over me. I was reminded at the begining of the new year when God had laid these passages on my heart and mind along with this song. The Song Titled " My Help" the passages were, Psalm 121; Psalm 1; Matthew 6:33.
Again he brings to memory his word and how I need to let it seep deeply inside, to write it on the tablet of my heart and mind. God continues to laid passages on my heart not only as a reminder, but also for strength I know he has a purpose for me, and he is not done with me yet. Thank You Lord
A New Day!
Its another day thank GOD for the breathe of life. I am reminded that its the Lords Day. I need to praise him everyday. There is much to learn everyday is a day of learning, I am to be ready in season and out of season. We need to put our trust in him.
