Ponder.....

Ponder where your feet have been..... Where have you traveled through your life. Have you stepped over things, walked around things, or just stomped the fire out of things?? It's the steps that we take everyday that lead us into Victory.. Where will you walk this Holiday Season. Why don't you walk right over to that neighbor you haven't spoken to lately, walk right into your child's room and spend alitte "kid" time with them, walk right into the arms of your spouse and tell them how much you love them and last but not least, WALK right into the heart of Jesus. His feet led him straight to the cross for YOU and for ME.  Ponder that...

POWER

When you think of the word "POWER" what do you think of? Power as in electricity, Power as being a CEO, Power as in physical strength?  We sometimes say, "Oh, they have the Power". Usually when that is said we are speaking of something earthly..... Have you ask yourself lately IF you have the POWER.? There are many scriptures in God's word that show us the Power of God.  To have Power in the Lord means to know that you have yielded your life to him totally, you have sold out, you have allowed him to come and dwell inside of you. That's where your Power comes from.  The reason Moses had Power was because he yielded his life and allowed God to use him.  When is the last time you lead someone to Christ, Prayed for healing, just did something for the kingdom. I encourage you to do it TODAY.  Be filled with God's power today. Put all your needs aside, let the sin go in your life and realize that God is the only one who can FIX YOU.  Do you know that POWER today? Are you Transformed?

Birds of a Feather.....

I was up early a few days ago and looking out my kitchen window where tons of Red birds... some of you might call them Cardinals.  As a little girl my grandmother and I would sit and watch them. She just loved them hence my love for them I suppose. I ran and got my camera and took this shot... I was thinking about  how one would fly in and then several others would join in .... They seemed to be just "hangin out" . When is the last time you just "hung out"? They say Birds of a Feather, flock together... I had the chance yesterday to have lunch with a group of Christian friends. It wasn't even planned, it just happen. It was a sweet time. We all need to "hang out" with those who can encourage us, speak God's word into our hearts and show us that real Joy comes through knowing the Father. I encourage you today to Flock to someone who can touch your life. Surround yourself with friends  who you can just hang-out with in Christ.  Blessings to you today.

COLD... outside and inside....????

Gosh, I woke up this morning and it's so cold. Seems we complain if it gets too hot and now I hear everyone already talking about how cold it is. Are you cold or hot??? Sometimes we are just like the weather.. Hot for God and then we find ourselves Cold for God.  Funny how the real Seasons in our lives change and so do our Seasons with God. I know that you can't just be luke warm. I did that for so many years of my life. Thinking I was enjoying life, being involved in all my JUNK.  Looking back I realize I was just passing time. God was NOT the center of my life so the truth is I WAS COLD... I have alitte fire burning inside these days. It keeps me warm all over. Don't get me wrong there are days that I feel a draft but I just grab a log ( my bible) and throw it onto the fire. How about you? You COLD today? I encourage you to spend some time in his heated word, call a Christian friend who is like a nice wool wrap and aask them to pray with you . Let's get those FIRES burning.

UPCOMING Bible Study... "Battlefield of the Mind"

It seems that it is the mind where all our problems begin.  It's like this little voice says things to us to get us off track. OKAY, well I know that only happens to me. LOL  Starting Thursday, January 13th I will be facilitating "Battlefield of the Mind"by Joyce Meyer. This is actually the DVD series and it's ony 4 lessons. All you need to bring is an open heart and a notebook. We all need encouragement and companionship with our "sisters in Christ". The only way to do that is to commit to something. Everything worth having or experiencing ask something of you. There is limited seating so let me know if you are interested in being a part of this study. ONLY 4 WEEKS.  Refreshments will be served. Does that help any? LOL  Looking forward to sharing in this intimate time of teaching with each of you. Can't wait to see you.  Email me at queeniescafe@gmail.com or facebook me me or feel free to call me at 601-513-2686 with any questions or directions to my house.

5 AM and Waiting.........

What would you get up for at say 3:30 am? Get a bath, put makeup on and throw on your clothes to get out and fight traffic just to get to the door to see hundreds of other people pushing and shoving trying to be the very first in line?????? Did you do that this past Friday??? I saw photos on facebook of folks sitting in the aisles at Walmart, nose to nose in a line as far as you could see, grabbing wrist bands so you were assured a spot at the 5am sale. WAS THAT YOU??? I remember about 6 years ago I too did that same thing. The key word here is 6 years ago.LOL  It reminded me of a time that I even slept in a lawn chair outside the Mississippi Coliseum to purchase Tickets to see Michael Bolton for my sister.  HOW INSANE... Maybe when your young you just don't see it. I actally got sad  as I saw these photos on the web and listened to news reports of how folks got strampled and that more than ever folks had turned out for the BIG SALE. I wondered if today, SUNDAY, folks were getting up at 3am, 4 am or even 5am with the anticipation of worshipping our Lord and Savior today?? Do we want to beat the crowd this morning, do we want to get that front row seat, Are we running to him this morning?  The truth is we should want that front row seat every morning but somehow I think we have allowed our world to water down our time with God, our experience with God, our closeness with God , our whole concept of God.  My prayer for you and for me, is that we will have or find that much enthusiasm for Christ and that we will RUN to him... Hoping to receive everything He has to SELL.

Are you a Victim??

 Have you ever felt like a Victim? A real Victim. Have you  clung to something ( the hurt and pain)  in your life when you thought you were a Victim.. Have you used it to have an attitude, used it to be filled with unforgiveness or possibly allowed a "bitter root" to rise up because of it. Negative energy is heavy... It pulls us down.

A Merry Heart does the soul good. It is sometimes hard to let go of the hurts of this life and welcome the positive things God has to offer.  You can do it with God's help.... with his hand. He can take what you have hidden on the inside and make it GOOD.  Allow God to heal you, allow God to pull up the bitter root and replace it with his love.

Let Go and Let God.....

Don't be a Victim be a Victor.....
