THANKSGIVING FOR JUNE 24, 2015

Have you ever been angry inside. I mean so angry that your entire being is turned upside down.  I have been there.  Only one thing draws me out.  I have to go deep in prayer, praise and worship! I mean forsake all unnecessary activities and focus on the Lord.  I thank him for being/existing. I thank him for bringing me out.  I thank him for holding my hand through the tough and rough journeys.  I thank him from removing all the stinking thinking from my thoughts.  I thank for easing my heart. I thank the Lord for taking control of my body and leading me in the direction he has ordained for me to travel.  But most of all I thank him for removing anger that can literally kill me!  THANK YOU LORD, JESUS AND HOLY GHOST FOR THE ROLES YOU PLAY IN MY LIFE!!!!

THANKSGIVING FOR JUNE 14, 2015.

I am so thankful for peace of mind!  I was somewhat of a worrier.  I fought daily to turn all problems over to the Lord. I am now at peace and things are looking great!  God is still in the blessing business and I am truly blessed.  Thinking about how I worried about "everything".  I now wait for the Lord to tell me what to do so I won't act wrongly.  This has taken a conscious effort on my part to turn things over to God.  The hardest part was waiting.  OOOOOOOOOO did I agonize while I wait.  But God began giving me victory in small things and it was up from there.  Glory!  How I love him.  I thank him daily for the strength to persevere.  But I feel so relieved to know I do not have make things happen.  I only move when directed by the Lord.  The Holy Spirit has gone before me on numerous occasions. FAVOR!  It is a good feeling to know it will be alright.  My history has shown me that he can pick me up time and time again.  But I truly thank him for FORGIVENESS.  Time after time after.  I have had to suffer the consequences of my actions.  I came out of each storm stronger and trusting of the Lord even more.  THANK YOU JESUS FOR PEACE OF MIND!  A set of tapes by Joyce Meyers, THINK ON THESE THINGS, got me started in the right direction.  My son was 4 years old and I really needed to hear this message.  My illnesses were consuming my life, even though I kept the face with a smile.  I truly knew 

God would make things work out.  But DOUBT would set in and cripple my thoughts.  But I listened to those tapes over and over again (at home, in the car, etc.).  THANK YOU JESUS FOR PEACE OF MIND! 

GLORY!

The Lord is drawing his people to himself.  You are his people.  When Jesus left he assured us that we would not be alone.  He left the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us. But we are subconsciously probably stuck in the mode that Jesus returned to his father.  We really have not grasped that the comforter is here with us everyday:  whispering in our ears, drying our eyes, healing our sores, mentally restoring us minute by minute, day by day, month by month, year by year, decade by decade, etc., trying to guide us if we would only listen.  Sometimes its a whisper and sometimes its banging symbols.  We must get into our quiet places and listen.  Sometimes to get our minds on the Lord we must use Praise and Worship to redirect us back to him with open heart and listening ears (Phase one of Prayer).  Now phase two of our prayer begins.  We lament (a passionate expression of grief or sorrow) over our sins and repent.  Phase 3 is the sending up our petitions to the Lord.  Tell the Lord how much you love him.  Thank him!  Walk through how you feel.  Ask him for want you want, and anointed plans to accomplished what your want.

Through prayer we have that one-on-one relationship with the Lord.  Your true friends love you no matter what and are forgiving.  That is how our Lord is with us.  His Love has NO conditions.  Let him love on you!  You are worthy to be loes.  You are forgiven.  

Once we are comforted by the Holy Spirit we can boldly face our fears and reach out through prayer to the Lord with humble and contrite (feeling or expressing remorse or penitence; affected by guilt.) hearts.   

After you have prayed truly walk it out.  You are confident.  You are royalty so walk, talk, and act like a Prince/Princes.

THANKSGIVING FOR MAY 29, 2015:

I am so thankful for FAVOR.  God comes in and works things out in a way that you KNOW that it was God's Favor.  I remember times of Hopelessness when the Holy Spirit went ahead on my behalf and pleaded my case - FAVOR!  I remember reaching for the highest heights and at the last step felt my strength had waned.  BUT the Holy Spirit came in and strengthen my resolve.  I am so thankful for his comfort in quiet times and raging times.  I am so thankful for FAVOR that comes out of NO WHERE!  Thank you Lord for Favor in spite of me!!!

GLORY!   ALLELUIA!   JESUS! HOLD MY MULE WHILE I PRAISE HIM!  In Starbucks tutoring, but I love my QUIET PRAISE FESTS!  Enjoying me some time with him!

THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY, MAY 25, 3015:

Was sitting here thinking.  Have a lot of time to do that now that I'm retired.  Candy and Tre had recitals last week.  ALL of the Boobies, when they first saw me at the recital in the parking lot, told me TRE TIED HIS OWN TIE IN A WINDSOR KNOT!  This is a BIG deal.  Tre is Autistic.  To meet him you will NEVER know.  The use of his hands is a big deal.  The BIGGER deal, his recital was in piano!  This boy use to wash his hands and never bend the fingers.  Through therapy and havign LOVING PARENTS who really work with him, Tre has advanced so much.  His schools had a hard time accepting his autism, because he is an A/B honor roll student.  LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE THROUGH HIS SERVANTS Breana Elise Isbell​   &   Irvin Lee Isbell Jr​!  God shows me everyday that he is ever present.  THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!
