Oh, no you didn't! :catfight:

Don't be jealous because I can make a "joyful noise unto the Lord" even while I am asleep! :lachen:

Thank you for sharing testimony with us. I am glad you and your husband made it home safely, God's hand was truly covering you.

Thank you God for not giving us the spirit of fear. We have power, love, and a sound mind. What ever we do we step forth in confidence.

Laela, I wish I could hit the thank button more than once. I wish there was a "thanks God" button here and that it can be hit as much as we want! Glory be to the Keeper, that's exactly what it's all about: loving and living with our Savior by our sides.
I love how He was, is in your life all your way. I just love to read it. thanks for that testimony.

Dear father, we thank you for laela and her DH, for all your children who were covered by your holy protection in other to get home safely. we're giving you praise for all the people leaving in those areas that will get the victory over natural manifestations in Jesus' name. Thanks for getting us aware, opened to your signs and obedient to your will. Amen
 
:lol: @ bolded, yes that would be great in this Forum...

Thank you and all the beautiful ladies for keeping the people in those areas in your prayers. ::bighug:

My heart goes out to those who are stuck in the airport, bus stations and just stranded out in the cold. Please keep them in your prayers as the weather improves. I've heard that at least 9 people were killed in traffic incidents, so my prayers are with the families who are enduring the deaths as well.

Lord, my trust and hope is in you, and its such a good feeling :Blush2:.

Thank you Lord.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
 
Jesus... Lord of All -- You are my sweet "Joy".

For this I thank you with all of my heart, body and soul.

In YOUR, I Praise - Amen and Amen. :Rose:

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.--Romans 14:17
 
Thank you Father for opening up the windows of heaven and pouring out a blessing I won't have room enough to receive.

I live in expectancy because I know that you will give me all that I need and the desires of my heart.
 
Lord, thank you for the beautiful, caring, loving, trustworthy, and supportive women you placed in my life :grouphug2:

Sisters

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,
drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother. As
they talked about life, about marriage, about the
responsibilities of life and the obligations of
adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her
glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance
upon her daughter..

'Don't forget your sisters,' she advised, swirling
the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll
be more important as you get older. No matter how
much you love your husband, no matter how much you
love the children you may have, you are still going
to need sisters. Remember to go places with them now
and then; do things with them..'

'Remember that 'sisters' means ALL the women...
your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other
women relatives too.. 'You'll need other women. Women
always do.'

What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman
thought. Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely my husband and the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'

But she listened to her mother. She kept contact with her sisters and made more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her mother really knew what she was talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman, sisters are the mainstays of her life.

After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:

THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.

Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.


BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are between you. A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you
have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end..

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk
beside you...Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters,-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family: all bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without women, and
neither would I. When we began this adventure called
womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would need each other..

Every day, we need each other still.

I am so thankful for the time I've spent with you Father.

My relationship with you gets stronger everyday and I'm grateful that you spend time with me.
 
It's me again on that same quote. At the beginning of the day, I read this and told icn how I love it. It hits me right inside and I read it loud, not knowing what the Lord was having for me today.

I have to come back to say it again. It's 7pm here and I just got an email that's is another sign of His Presence, His love. Dh and I started a project like 2 years ago and as it was progressing, He was given it. I abandonned it in His hands and He was just as usual: WONDERFUL AND GUIDING ME. So today, we've got a positive answer and everything is going so well. I praise and sang so much that my throat is kind of irritated but the joy in my heart is priceless. Not just the joy about the answer but the joy about being right when I was trusting Him and giving Him my life.

So I just want to say: Thank you Father for opening up the windows of heaven and pouring out a blessing I won't have room enough to receive. I don't even deserve it but You give it to me because of your love. THANK YOU LORD

"Lord, you are loyal to those who are loyal,
and you are good to those who are good.
You are pure to those who are pure,
but you are against those who are evil.
You save the humble,
but you bring down those who are proud.
Lord, you give light to my lamp.
The Lord brightens the darkness around me.
With your help I can attack an army.
With God's help I can jump over a wall.

2 Samuel 22:26-30 NCV

Psalm 145:1-3 NLT--God is always good, period and His constant protection from events that we may be unaware of:

1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.

Definitely happy that he is apart of my life. Never regret that ever.

Such a wonderful Word, from such a very 'Nice Lady'.... from the heart of God... our Father :love3:
 
Lord, thank you for giving us 'Free Choice"

This means that I love you with all of my heart....





ON PURPOSE !

In turn you gave me, eternal, everlasting life... Your Life...

Bless you , Lord Jesus... Love truly is a good choice.

To choose life is to love the Lord your God, obey him, and stay close to him. He is your life, and he will let you live many years in the land, the land he promised to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Deuteronomy 30:20 NCV
 
Ladies, there is definitely power in prayer, praise, and worship!

The snow storm and icy roads prevented me and others from going into the office. However, we were still expected to meet our deadlines. I was definitely behind b/c I was not equipped to work from home.

I prayed and had to put my trust in God.

Yesterday, I heard my neighbor's boyfriend shoveling and breaking the ice in her driveway. I did not have a shovel and asked to borrow his. He gave me the shovel but saw me struggling with trying to break the ice. He then offered to shovel my driveway. I was so thankful!

When I went into the office this morning some of my work was done by my coworker. Her help allowed me to catch up and meet the upcoming deadlines.

Today, I'm truly grateful for God's grace and mercy. He sent me help in the time of need!!! Thank you Jesus.

For the past few days I was thinking about the scripture on Paul and Silas. Their faith in God, prayer, and praise allowed God to move mightily in a time of need.

Acts 16:23-26
23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.

24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.
 
I'm thanking You Father, today for Your Wisdom... it keeps my foundation firm. Thank You for keeping Your Children safe during the storms that blow across this land. Amen

Job 28: 20-28
Where then does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding dwell?

It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,
concealed even from the birds in the sky.

Destruction and Death say,
“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”

God understands the way to it
and he alone knows where it dwells,

for he views the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.

When he established the force of the wind
and measured out the waters,

when he made a decree for the rain
and a path for the thunderstorm,

then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;
he confirmed it and tested it.

And he said to the human race,
“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil is understanding"
 
Lord, I thank you for loving me when I couldn't even love myself. I Thank you because you have given me the way through my Lord Jesus Christ to worship you and know you in Spirit and Truth FOREVER...because I know I'll need forever!

I praise you because of your Majestic Power that is unmatched in ANY realm, in the heavens, on the earth and below the earth. This power that sets the captives free and breaks the chains of those oppressed. No longer are we slaves to sin or strongholds of the devil but we are THE REDEEMED. THANK YOU LORD! YOU ARE SO WORTHY.

Psalm 107:1-2
1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary.
 
Lord, thank you for all of the beautiful testimonies in this thread. Everyone here is so humble and grateful to you and for you and for all that you are to them.

Thank you for the gift of praise and that it's truly from all of our hearts. Not one person here is praising you in vain. They truly mean it, and it's here so clear and plain. All of the praises in your Name..... Jesus. :love3:

Surely, God inhabits the praises of His children... in Jesus' Name, Amen. :Rose:
 
I really enjoy the e-votions from this minister. Sharing yesterday's in this awesome thread.:

January 15

Ephesians 2:3 All of us used to live that way, following the passions and evil desires of our evil nature. We were born with an evil nature, and we were under God's anger just like everyone else.
(New Living Translation)

God is so good to us that many of God's people still struggle with doing what we feel like doing as opposed to doing what He wants us to do. Yes we are only human: yes we still have the old nature as a roommate with the new nature: yes we are constantly bombarded with the quest to be our own person. An evil nature never stops being evil. God has to leave this body here even though He invites you to heaven! The Spirit of God isn't a follower. He doesn't just want us arbitrarily following the cravings for destruction. Passions and desires: what's the difference? For some reason, I want to discover distinctions where the bible makes distinctions. Maybe a passion is something we have given ourselves to and have the experience that creates the thirst. Maybe a desire is something this fallen nature is drawn to out of curiosity. Whatever the case, Christ died to give us the strength to follow the new nature. Even when we crucify the old nature one day, we wake up to his haunting voice the next day. The fight won't be over until we exist in a different realm where that nature isn't welcome.
