Restoring All Things Girls

Preparing for more snow… Whatever will be will be…looking forward to spring days like this…only thing missing is you, come and join me.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31,NIV

Rahab and the two spies are the main characters in Joshua 2. Rahab was a prostitute. She lived, geographically and morally, on the edge of society. Her house was located on the wall of the city and was strategically placed to lodge travelers. This was a prime location for her trade. Rahab had heard of the God of Israel and acted in faith. By hiding the spies she faced the risk of being killed if caught by the authorities. However Rahab knew it would take a step of faith to get her out of her present predicament. She did not intend to perish with the rest of Jericho. She knew that if she did nothing - this would lead to her destruction. No one can serve two masters. She made a conscious decision to act in faith on what she heard about God. Rahab was an ancestor of Jesus (Matthew1:1-6). Her faith brought her into an immense inheritance. From a prostitute to the linage of Jesus Christ. This is what faith can do. No matter your stand in life, irrespective of where you are or wh...

So many questions Very few answers God I know my life Is in your hands Trusting you with all My heart with the  Things I  don’t  Understand. Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the  Lord  are like Mount Zion,      which cannot be shaken but endures forever.  

I may not be receiving flowers today,  but the Rose of Sharon (Jesus) lives in my  heart.  Happy Valentine's Day

Everything God made Is good Including snow Time to shovel Artist:  Fred Swan

“ If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I AM NOTHING.”   1 Cor. 13:1-2 How do we miss such an obvious truth? I’ve been observing a current movement of what is being called “the prophetic.” Self or publicly proclaimed prophets are giving others “words from God,” as if we cannot hear from God ourselves. They have “powers” to understand mysteries no different than in A.D. 55, when Paul wrote to the Corinthian church. Apparently, when Paul was dropping a plumb line of principles regarding our spiritual pursuits and our character, in their culture at that time, people had the same vulnerability that we deal with today.  It is easier to function in perceived powers than it is to live in love. Love is the greatest power of all; greater than any miraculou...

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence?   We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. Jesus answered him,  “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Thank God for His mercy - It is important to share your faith with family members and others.  Even if it appears they are not listening, tuning you out, keep sharing about the Lord.  Two criminals were crucified with Jesus on that day who heard the message of the gospel preached somewhere in their travels to the extent they recognized Jesus on the cross. One thief acknowledged Jesus as God and the other thief acknowledged Him to, but asked Jesus to prove that He is God. How sad.  Just t...

BLACK HISTORY PHOTO OF THE DAY:  This photo of a finely dressed black mother and daughter -- standing below a “Colored Entrance” sign at a bus station in Birming ham, Alabama, in 1956 -- was taken by Gordon Parks, one of the seminal figures of twentieth century photography. A humanitarian with a deep commitment to social justice, Parks left behind a body of work that documents race relations, poverty, civil rights and urban life.   https://www.facebook.com/BlackPast

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient,   love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.     It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,   it is not easily angered,   it keeps no record of wrongs.     Love does not delight in evil   but rejoices with the truth.     It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

It was after gym when I saw him I kissed his face He put his hand around my throat. I couldn‘t breath. I started to choke. I saw you talking to him, he said. I tried to explain He pushed me up against the wall I tried to fight him off He put it in me – I was so afraid I started to cry He said, It’s not like we never done this before. I sobbed, Please no! Then my boyfriend let me go I‘ll never tell 'Cause I know he‘ll call me tonight to apologize And tomorrow we‘ll go out for pizza. It can be hard for a girl to admit, even to herself, that her boyfriend has a problem. She will continue to cover up and make excuses for him. If you are in an abusive relationship, please seek help. Don‘t try to fix him because you can‘t. Abusive boyfriends are often the products of troubled families, and are in need of professional counseling. Do yourself a favor: let him go.
