Keeping Quiet

You are probably wondering what type of title this is for my post today. I thought I should write about keeping quiet because all too often some of us need to learn to do this rather then reacting all of the time. So many times I have said things that I shouldn't have said just because I didn't think before I spoke or it was in the heated moment. I am now learning that it is always better to keep quiet and pray rather then giving my 2 cents. I sometimes have this habit with my husband that when he says something that got under my skin or something that maybe he shouldn't have said, I would say something sarcastic or degrading to him. Why was I doing this? I know I am human, that is no excuse. My responsibility as his wife is to encourage him and say kind words to him. Being sarcastic or saying something rude to him only makes him feel discouraged, angry, insecure or any of negative way I don't want him to feel. I want him happy, confident and energized to do anything he can. I now am practicing keeping quiet instead. I need to keep comments to myself if one comes into my head, unless it's a positive one of course. It's not about who's right or who's wrong. It's about being a good wife and a good person. I have to realize when my husband is telling me something it's not because he is asking for advice from me. He is just telling me something! 

Proverbs 21:9 (Amplified)

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop [on the flat oriental roof, exposed to all kinds of weather] than in a house shared with a nagging, quarrelsome, and faultfinding woman.

Enjoy Your Day

Why is it that so many people wait until they find out that they are dying to change how they are living? Why does it take them to hear this to now want to see people they have had bitterness toward all these years? How come they wait until now to want God in their life? I do not have the answers to these questions but I have wondered about this at times. I will not try to figure it out either. I have come to a decision that I must keep working on myself and allowing God to lead me in everything I shall be doing. When I fall, I need to get back up. When I feel sad, I need to read some scripture, I need to listen to Christian music. I need to speak to God about how I feel and ask Him for strength to get through that day. When I feel bitter toward anybody I need to pray about it right away because I am aware that is no way to live. That is a negative way to be. I need to either forgive that person if I feel they did something wrong to me or I just need to get over myself and smile instead. 
I know it is so unfair to God that sometimes He is put on the back burner until we are stuck. Some don't acknowledge Him until they are dying (probably because they know they were putting Him on the back burner). If I would had never accepted Jesus into my heart I'm sure I could have easily became one of them people but, I'm happy that I came to Him and I know He is always by my side. It's amazing how unconditional His love is! It's amazing how forgiving He is! We all need to be this way! We have to put our feelings aside and love more.
None of us know when our last day on Earth is. Why don't we just live how we are supposed to and be happy? We should help people that need help that aren't getting help from anybody? We are still here on Earth because God has a purpose for us. He wants us to do things for others. He wants us to encourage others, build them up (even if we aren't feeling the best ourselves), He wants us to tell others about Him. I am so grateful that I am changing each day by the grace of God. I am thankful that I know what to do now when any negative spirit comes inside of me. I am not perfect nor, will I ever be but, I have the best tool there is now and suggest it to anybody that wants to begin changing themselves also....THE BIBLE.... The best book to help anybody with anything! So next time somebody irks you the wrong way or, something else starts to bug you, try to remember that we are never promised tomorrow and we should, take a breath, remain calm and ENJOY OUR DAY!

Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV)
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will forgive you: 15, But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Don't Fear Life

     Today at church our Pastor was speaking about having fears and I think this is a huge and important topic that needs to be discussed a lot more just so we can always remember that we should not have fears on this earth. I was so thankful that I received this message today, I want to encourage anybody out there that also may have fears in their life at this time that there is nothing to be afraid of when you have Jesus in your life. He does not want us to be afraid of rejection, lack of anything (finances, losing a job,etc). He does not want us to worry about things that can possibly happen in our life. He does not want us to worry about the future. What good would it be for us to constantly worry about things? Are you afraid of failing at something? If you want to succeed at something that you are very passionate about, sometimes you do have to fail a few times before you get success. It's okay to fail, we are humans. None of us are perfect. What good is it for us to be afraid of stepping out of our comfort zone in order to get to where we want to go? Why do you have a fear of talking to that one person that you think is awesome? Do you think you are not worth it? Do you think that you're not good enough? 
     The truth is you are good enough! You are a child of God and he does not make garbage.You are awesome! You deserve everything that you wish for in life. If you are trying your best at doing what is right in your life, God can see what you are doing and you will be blessed. He can see what's in your heart.If you are friends with people that are constantly having fear and sharing them fears with you and this causes you to begin to worry also, start thinking about distancing yourself from these people. These people don't have the faith that you are trying to gain and may cause you to feel even worse. Having fear is not having faith in God. When you have fear in something you aren't trusting God in that area. When you have faith, you can do anything you want to do; you can have anything you want to have. You just have to trust and ask.


Isaiah 41:13 (Amplified)
For I the Lord your God; hold your right hand, I am the Lord, Who says to you; Fear not, I will help you!


Proverbs 3:5 (Amplified)
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

Joshua 1:9 (Amplified)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.


Philippians 4:13 (Amplified)
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
