Now Smile


Now Smile

When I am unable to love someone because of jealousy
Repentance is much needed 
So how do I repent Lord
To truly set my heart free
To break out of these chains that are wrapped so tightly around my heart
How will I ever truly be able to love in the same manner
Jesus loves

Be Kind
Reach Out
Speak kind words to and about her
Set aside fears that say
"I will never be good enough to be recognized"
Quit performing 
Follow my leading 

I'm taking you somewhere great and exciting
But
Unless you keep your eyes on me you will get lost
As long as you are seeking recognition
In the place of me
You will never be able to get where I want to take you

It's ok to NOT be the best 

Consider This

No one is the best
Because everyone is individually created 
To be her best
And there is only one of each of you

NOW SMILE !!!!

Acts 26:20
"...they should repent and turn to God performing deeds appropriate to repentance."

Repent: pious sorrow for unbelief and sin,and a turning from them unto God and the gospel of Christ.
(Taken from the - Hebrew Greek Key Word Study Bile NASB)
Just a note: I have been struggling in this area so I am truly thankful God has shown me a new way to look at things and revealed to me that I needed to repent. 

Hope this is a blessing to you also,
Terry

A Threatening Storm

  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when we got to the final appo

Reset  Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved... Lord Clear my spirit of the invasion of my soul and it's soulish, selfish ways. It  seems to be my default. Your ways Lord, your high and lifted ways, seem unreachable this morning; and then you whisper, "It's the distractions of everything around you that wants to carry you away from my presence." "I know Lord, I'm fighting to stay, to surrender it all." Then I remember, this battle is yours not mine, this battle to just be still in your arms. "Oh my beloved, how can I live in this torn up world and not be distracted by all the noise?" Take me away my bridegroom King, set me atop the mountain of your heart, deafen my ears, and reset the default of my heart to your voice alone. The Bridegroom King 5)Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tr

The Miracle and Gift

  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of the  multitude of heavenly hos
