The Loves Of My Life

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. -Psalm 139:13

I’m not at all ashamed to say that the only ones whom I truly, dearly and completely (wholeheartedly) loved out of my entire household was my mother and my dog (Brandie).

They were, still are, and always will be the loves of my life.

God blessed me with them and he blessed them with me. God made no mistake in placing each one of us into our lives together. We were all made for one another.

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,  as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. -Psalm 139:15

I wonder how I was so lucky to have such loving and beautiful individuals not only to cross my paths, but to be the innermost part of me through a family relation.

You saw me before I was born.  Every day of my life was recorded in your book.Every moment was laid out  before a single day had passed. -Psalm 139:16

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!

I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me! -Psalm 139:17-18

I remember when I had wanted another puppy so badly as a young child after my very first one was cruelly given away by my grandmother. Two or three years later my mother took me to adopt Brandie, and she was perfect.

It was worth the wait through all of my impatience as God provided us with an exceptional pet. His plan was perfect!

I am very grateful and thankful for my mother and dog and all of the great years we enjoyed. Our bond is extremely special and forever cherished. God had made us three uniquely compatible.

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. -Ephesians 1:4

 

In The Word: Spiritual Food (The Bread Of Life)

I enjoy spending time at home alone in the quiet of my room reading my bible.

I have quite a few bibles and devotional books that I pleasantly delve into.

I have a New King James version, a Tyndale New Living translation, Crossway English Standard New Testament version, Crossway English Standard Old Testament version which is a Scripture Journal: Old Testament set of individual books, and the Septuagint Orthodox Study Bible (Ancient Faith Special Edition).

My devotionals and other scriptural literatures that I have are also wonderful books of good quality and content.

In addition to my collection of books inspired by the word of God, I have online devotionals and biblical passages sent to me by email. It is a great and convenient way to access the bible and scriptural inspired literature at any time, especially while out on the go.

I myself have been inspired by God himself to express and spread his word through my own true experience, knowledge and natural talent of writing, and it is a delight.

As I am led by the Holy Spirit I get excited to write the messages that naturally flow out through me.

I’ve always been invoked by spirit to write, however, now it is along with the intent of sharing The Good News Of The Gospel as well.

Jesus said, I tell you the truth, Moses didn’t give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” -John 6:32-33

 

 

“Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day.”
Jesus replied, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty-John 6:34-35

 

Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.  -John 6:48-49

I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.” -John 6:58

 

 

 

Thanksgiving

I remember as a child and growing up how my mother would always prepare big holiday meals every year whether it was for Thanksgiving, Christmas or a little something extra during Easter season.

Holiday events are celebrated with the enjoyment of delicious food and drink, however, the festivities represent more than just the indulgence of eating a lavish satisfying dinner.

Thanksgiving is coming up and I am just thankful in itself.

I am thankful for everything that I am blessed with, and everything that I have ever been blessed with.

God has truly been very good to me and toward my family. When I look back on my life and where I’m at today I see just how many times he’s been there for me and how he never let me fall down to severely hurt myself.

I was fortunate to escape being damaged in anyway.

Like a loving parent, God prevented a lot of accidents and abrasions from occurring and stopped a lot of ruptures before they could start.

God has always been right there to catch me just in time to steer me back on my feet to stand upright and walk steadily in his grace.

Thank you Lord- latoyalawrence
