Farewell to 2010 As 2010 turns its last page, it is natural to look back and see all that we accomplished during the year. As we do, let us not to forget to thank God that we made it to this point. There is nothing that happened or didn't happen(this past year) that God was not in control of. We are all so blessed to be here, praising God and reflecting; that alone is a blessing. I give glory and praise to our wonderful God as we leave 2010 and enter 2011. My prayer will always be for us to be wise stewards of our time here on earth; to love and serve our God; to love each other as God loves us; to bring forth peace and love and light to all creation. In Jesus' Name I ask. Amen Matthew 7:7 "Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door shall be opened to you." Matthew 8:13 "It shall be done because you trusted." PTL

Amen Psalm 139: 24 "See if my way is crooked and lead me in the way of old." Hosea 13: 4 "I am the Lord your God since before all time. You know no God besides Me and there is no Savior but Me" PTL

Thank You, Jesus for Your love for me. Thank You for the gift of my life. Help me to do and be what You intended for me, help me to do Your will. Thank You for all gifts You have bestowed on me(mine being the love for writing and music), keep me inspired and passionate to fulfill Your plan for me so I may give all glory and praise to You through my works.

Amen Psalm 138 2, 8 "Because of Your kindness and Your truth; for You have made great above all things Your name and Your promise." "The Lord will complete what He has done for me; Your kindness, oh Lord, endures forever; forsake no the work of Your hands." Lord, I believe in You. I believe You are guiding my life and will answer my prayers according to Your will. I trust in You Lord, that You will fulfill Your promises and I shall glorify Your name. Thank You Jesus.

Lord Jesus, I praise You and thank You for all things. You alone are worthy. Help me to serve You, Lord. Lord, help me to be pure of heart, to love You with all my heart. I am nothing without You. In You, only, is my strength. I give You all praise and glory and thank You for loving me so much. Isaiah 43: 1-5 "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine. When you pass through the water I will be with you; When you walk through fire you will not be burned; the flames shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior." Because you are precious in My eyes and glorious and because I love you." "Fear not, for I am with you." Thank You, Jesus. Psalm 138: 3 "When I called, You answered me. You built up strength within me." PTL

Praise You, Jesus, for the beauty of You; for Your love so true. Let all creation praise Your Name, give You glory every day. All the blessings that You give, help me use for You as I live. Unending peace and joy, with You; always will I be. Micah 7:7 "But as for me, I will look to the Lord, I will put my trust in God my Savior. My God will hear me."

My prayer, Lord Jesus, is to see all through Your eyes. To love as You love, forgive as You do, to not self-seek or try to be what I am not; to always pray for the good of all and rejoice in all blessings You bestow on me and the world. Thank You, Jesus, for Your love for me and the whole world. In Your Name, dear Jesus, I pray. Amen Hosea 11: 1-4 "When you (Israel) were a child, I loved you. Out of (Egypt) I called you, but the more I called the farther you went. Sacrificing to Baal (worldly desire) and burning incense to idols. Yet it was I who taught you to walk, who took you in My arms. I drew you up with human cords, with bands of love. I fostered you like one who raises an infant to His cheeks. Yet, though I stooped to feed my child, you did not know I was your healer. Verses 8-11 "How could I give you up or deliver you up? My heart is overwhelmed, My pity stirred. I will not give vent to My anger, I will not destroy you again. For I am God and not man; the Holy One present among you. I will not let the flames consume you. We will follow You, Lord and You will resettle us in our homes." PTL

Things and people in our lives are constantly changing. There is only one certainty in life, and that is the love of God our Creator. God remains the same; it is we who change, through circumstance or trial, through choice and attitude. If you remember to look to God in all things, you would find a more even path, a peace within yourself in all you go through. Your way may not be less bumpy, but you will feel no need to try to control anything, as you know God is your center, your Rock. Keep your focus on Jesus, your Savior, and each moment will have a peace, a joy, and a purpose. Psalm 128: 1-2 "Happy are you who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways! For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork; happy shall you be and favored." PTL

In Your Name, Jesus, I ask. Amen Daniel 3: 37, 39, 40, 100 "For we are reduced, Oh Lord, beyond any other nation; brought low everywhere in the world this day because of our sins."

Isaiah 40 : 28-29 " Do you not know or have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow weary, and His knowledge is beyond scrutiny. He gives strength to the fainting, for the weak He makes vigor abound. " Thank you, Lord, for giving me the strength, each day, to follow You; to fill me with Your grace to stand firm in my trust and belief in You, through all things. When others might look on and not see; I see. When I say I hear Your voice; yet to them it appears there is no sound; I know You are always here with me. I give You all praise and glory my Lord.

Mark 9 : 24 "Believe I do! Help my lack of trust!" Dear Jesus, forgive my doubt and lack of faith. Take away my fears. Though it appears to me, at times, that not much is being accomplished, help me to remember You are always in control. There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle(referred to as my life), and it is not, only, just about me. Everyone who is a piece to my puzzle, is also a puzzle on their own journey and it is according to Your will, Lord, of how and when You fit the pieces together. Allow me to be a properly fitting piece to the puzzle, Lord, by surrendering to Your will and serving You. In Your name I ask, dear Jesus. Amen Mark 10 : 27 "For man it is impossible, but not for God. With God all things are possible." PTL

Each time I start to have doubts, I close my mind to those thoughts and open my heart and soul to God. I feel God's love, I feel His peace and strength within me, the grace He bestows on me in the very moment I surrender to Him. I feel all barriers fall away and I know without a doubt that God is in control. Jesus says, "What is needed is trust." Trust in Him. Trust that God knows all, He knows best, and that God's love for us is real; God loves us so much. If we always remember this, especially through our trials, we will always have God's peace and strength to help us through. Trust in God. Psalm 121: 5-8 "The Lord is your guardian, the Lord is your shade; He is beside you at your right hand. The sun shall not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will guard your life. The Lord will guard your coming and your going, both now and forever." PTL

Each day we need only to try our best in serving God. God only wants our best, and because we love Him, we give our best. Michah 7:7 "But as for me, I will look to the Lord. I will put my trust in God my Savior; my God will hear me." Psalm 119: 165 "Those who love Your law have great peace; and for them there is no stumbling block." PTL

Lord, you alone are Holy and Good. There is no one or anything that is greater than You. You have a love for all creation and mankind that surpasses any knowledge. I give You all glory, Lord, that You are with me. God Bless the World. In Your name Jesus, I ask. Amen Psalm 40: 17 "May all who seek You exalt and be glad in You; and may those who love Your salvation say ever, "The Lord be glorified".

Every day praise God for His goodness; for God is good. He is so good to us; He loves us so much! Thank You for loving me Lord. Psalm 119 : 92-94 "Had not Your law been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction. Never will I forget Your precepts, for through them You give me life. I am Yours, save me." PTL

I praise You Lord for all You do. I thank You Lord for my love of music and writing; to me, these are the most wonderful gifts You could have bestowed on me. Help me to use my gifts to glorify You, Lord. I Love You, Jesus! Thank You for filling me with Your peace and joy! PTL Psalm 119: 65-66 " You have done good to Your servant, oh Lord, according to Your word; teach me Your wisdom and knowledge for in your commands I trust."
