Changes

Hello Everyone!

 

I hope that all is well with you. We are almost five months into 2018 and I must say this year is all about change for me. I am not only changing and growing into my own woman but I am changing the way that I see myself. I am now viewing myself as God see’s me. For many years I have conformed to what my parents have wanted for me, never thinking about what God wants and has for my life. That stops this year. Seeking God diligently for the past year has really brought things to the light that had been hidden all of my life. So I am changing. Changing the way I speak to people, changing the way I let people speak to and treat me. I am excited yet very nervous. I know that this is what God wants me to do and I also know that people do not like when you make changes. I pray that he gives me the courage and strength to live out his best for my life.

Are any of you making any changes this year?

I’m Back!

Hey All!

It has been a littile over 2 months since I have posted to PDJ and I just want to thank you all for sticking around. Life has gotten very busy as I am focusing on my health, managaing a office and starting my debt free journey. I recently realized that I am not as disciplined as I thought I was, so I’ve decided to do somehting about it. I look forward to sharing more about my debt free journey but most importantly I look forward to sharing Jesus with all of you each and every wednesday.

 

Talk to you soon,

Bri

Word of The Week: HOPE

Hope– The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.

When was the last time you hoped for something? To hope is to believe or desire.

What is your burning desire? To be healthy? Have a sound mind? Be wealthy?

Have beautiful children? Serve your community?

In this day and time we should especially have our hope in the lord. He knows that end from the beginning, why wouldn’t you have your hope in someone who knows EVERYTHING?

We should all be prisoners of hope. Hope should constantlly have us.

We should always be hopeful. Here are a few scriptures about HOPE to meditate on throughout this week.

Psalms 39:7 (GNB)

What, then, can I hope for, lord? I put my hope in you

Romans 8:25 (GNB)

 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Romans 12:12(GNB)

Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times.

Have a blessed week!

Dear You 7/13/16

Dear You,

Are you afriad today? Are you stressed? Worn out? Take a deep breath and know that God is with and for you! Know that you are NOT alone. God has NOT forgotten nor forsaking you. Our country is out of control, people are dying left and right, cost of living is escalating. There is a lot to be concerned with right now yet, your mind should be focused on our heavenly father. Your mind should be on his goodness and mercy, if you keep your mind on him he will KEEP you in perfect PEACE. The kind of peace that passes all understanding. The bible says that Jesus came so that we may have LIFE and have it MORE ABUNDANTLY. ( John 10:10) That measn that YOU can have peace, joy, hope, love and everything else in abundance.  Today I pray that God showers his unconditional love upon you and that his favor follows you all the days of your life. I pray that you recieve his peace and abundance, give grace as it has been given to you and do your best to love as christ loves.

Be blessed,

Bri

His Love Is…

Knowing that God is with me always keeps me going

Knowing that he’ll never stop loving me no matter what

makes me want to love others the same

I am not perfect but his love is

I am not patient but his love is

I can be kind sometimes but his love is ALWAYS kind

His love is always giving

Never failing

Knowing that I have a heavenly father who cares for me

makes the burdens of this world a lot lighter

knowing that I matter to him make me not care about what others think of me

I am not aways willing to lend a helping hand

His hands are always stretched out to me

I allow my self-centeredness to direct my paths

He is self-less

Thinking of me while nailed to the cross

knowing that even if I were the only person on earth he would have still died for me

makes me want to live everyday for him

knowing that he is for me and never against me assures me that I can overcome all things

I am not perfect

His love is

His love allows me to wake up every morning to new mercies

His love graces me to love others

I can be kind sometimes

His love is ALWAYS kind

So kind that he allows us to make our own decisions

and still let us know to choose LIFE

 knowing that his love is unconditional

Patient

Kind 

Amazing

Never Failing

makes me love him even more
