Sleepless in Texas

1. You must have done something wrong...
2. Just repent...
3. Just humble yourself...

It is just like when someone dies and instead of saying nothing they say the wrong thing. It isn't that they mean to hurt you but it just wounds an already wounded person.

Yesterday, God gave me a name for my dream and gave me information to put it into a reality setting. The things that happen in one's life are not always good but according to Romans 8:28 - God has every intention of making them turn around for your good. Such it is with me. God is again filling my life with hope, possibilities, and restoring dreams.

I reiterate: Friends mean well, think they have the right "word', many times it adds to the pain and confusion. Like Job - one must keep the eye on what they know &
look to God for direction because the process is long and hard but the end result is the destiny God has always planned for one to have.

Have a Blessed day everyone.

In God's Grip,
Rhoni

Rhoni,

As much as I already knew all this, I REALLY needed to read it today.

Tamor,

God is just like that - He can speak to multiple hearts all at one time.

Be Blessed,
Rhoni

...and sometimes your friends can see what you are unable or unwilling to see.

Just like Job sometimes you have to go through hell to turn things around for your good. God working in us or refining us isn't always an easy or enjoyable process.

Great source of strength to lean on!!

This is so true but only God and the individual knows for sure. Process is something we all go through and painful though it is; the results are pure gold.

Blessings, Rhoni

I heard a sermon by Richard Ellis at Reunion Church in Dallas this morning. The title caught my attention. My granddaughter and I share a 'funny' about "Toe Jam". I thought I'd get a copy of it to give to her as only she and I could appreciate it's worth to us.

There are many things/lessons in the Bible that apply to every day life if we just open our minds, hearts, and understanding.

Jesus I thank you for your word...it continues to be: a light unto my path.

To God be all the honor and glory this day.
Amen

Tamor,

Hope you had peaceful sleep last night and that God helped you to think clearly to resolve the things troubling you.

Thank you for the praise report - I said prayers for you last night. We need each other - this I learn more and more each day

This morning I woke at 3: 30 a.m. with thoughts for my book that I had to get up and write. This is the year I will get this book completed. God impressed me to change one word in the title which makes all the difference.

Those who pray, continue to do so that God will give me the right words to say to help the majority of those who need what I have to say.

Today I heard a message called "The Mother of Pearl". It spoke of irritations that form within the shell of an oyster or another mullusk that causes a chemical release to protect itself. The build up of that chemical over time forms a beautiful and costly pearl.

I thank God for all the 'irritations' in life that have began forming pearls in my life. Just like Joseph - the things the devil meant to destroy me are the things which give me courage, strength, and shall ultimately be my salvation and that of others.

Have a blessed day,
Rhoni

Last night I had the most wonderful dream.
