REFLECTIONS

I would like to start this year thanking God for all the wonderful blessings he afforded me in 2009. It would literally take me a lifetime to recant everything he does for me daily.  However, for the sake of time, I will provide you with those things that are in my spirit right now at this time for this season. I must give thanks and praise to God for the following:

*For a mind to say thank you

*Good health

*Walking alongside my father through various health challenges and allowing him to be victorious

*Sustaining my mother who is a primary care giver (At 79 years old)

*Uniting me with an incredible group of praying sisters who have a passion for the Lord and family

*Teaching me that the Lord is all I need to live, breathe, and be all he has created me to be

*Meeting my needs and giving me wants as well (I purchased another car and received a piano through 
  trading one of my cars for the piano) 

*Hooking me up with a personal trainer and Judy my exercise buddy(We exercise Monday-Friday at
 7:00am as much as possible) 

*Allowing me to part of a church family Blue Ridge Community Church, Lynchburg, VA (go to the web and
  check us out!)and work with a fantabulous group of people that gel together while ministering to babies in a
  place call the Cradle (Yeah Cradlers!)

*My Church Leaders

*Teaching me that dreams don't have an expiration date

*A seasoned group of friends that you can count on through thick and thin

The list could go on and on.

 At the beginning of this year the word purposeful started to resound in my spirit and I believe that God wants me to be purposeful and focused on the things that need to be accomplished, more so than ever before. So with that, I am reading the word consistently, created a blog, distanced myself from a toxic relationship, seeking God for creative ways to draw others to his kingdom and drawing nearer to him in prayer.  Sounds like a tall order. Yes, but one day at a time, one hour at a time, one moment at a time.
I am where I am in life by the choices.I have made and make throughout the day, week, and year.  It's line upon line here a  little there a little. My prayer today is just this:

 Lord let me have a dream

  Without being a dreamer

  Lord let me have a vision

  Without being consumed of it

   Let me work with diligence

                               Always knowing that you're the start and end of it                               

 Oh Lord, Lord let everything I do

 Remind me of my love for you

                     

Oh Lord teach me how to love

For there are so many who are in need of it

Oh Lord teach me how to give

For it's in giving love that we

Learn how to live

Let me work with diligence

Always knowing that your're the start and end of it
Oh Lord let everything I do remind me of my love for you.
