I am a woman who loves God and love being around people who love God. I enjoy talking and fellowshipping with mature and interesting people. I love to laugh and enjoy life to it's fullest.
Don't pray and worryA little something to ponder………
A gospel artist by the name of J. Moss, wrote a song and entitled it “Don’t pray and worry”! I watched a group of young people praise dance to that particular song and it was not until I watch them interpret the song that I really heard what was being said. How can I go to God in prayer and expectation if after I leave His presence I am still consumed or worried about that thing that I took to Him in prayer?
Too often I have been guilty of that!! I pray, I cry out to God and I fast but when I am done with all of that, I go right back to worrying about what I just took all that time out to get rid of. I Peter 5:7 says: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. We should not be going around worrying about the cares of this life. We belong to God and He will not allow anything to happen to us that we cannot handle and He desires that we put all of our hope and trust in Him and Him alone! I know that our economy is not doing well right now but remember that the Lord said that He would never leave us nor forsake us and that if He tends to the needs of a sparrow then why would He not tend to the needs of His servants. The righteous won’t be forsaken! While you are trying to figure it out…God has already worked it out!
Pray! Oh Yes, we must pray! But don’t Pray and worry!
May the grace of God encamp you, the mercy of God protect you and the peace of God comfort you always!

Who do you do best?A cry to the young and old!
I have constantly been warned about PEER PRESSURE and although I knew the definition of PEER and the definition of PRESSURE, I just never really took a close look at what PEER PRESSURE REALLY is.
PEER PRESSURE is a compelling influence from a person who is of the same rank; ability; an equal to you. What is that in a nutshell, someone who is totally equal to you but wanting to convince; fool; trick; or deceive you into doing whats considered to be the In thing to do or the popular thing to do.
I began to really look at people who become victims of PEER PRESSURE and Ive found that at some point or another, everyone has been a victim of PEER PRESSURE. Some of the things that motivate us to give in to this type of pressure are, wanting to fit in; wanting to be known as popular; wanting some type of attention; wanting to escape from problems in our home or the need to belong. Even though I have been warned not to give in to PEER PRESSURE, I wasnt told how to avoid PEER PRESSURE.
One of the greatest ways to avoid PEER PRESSURE is to simple be yourself! I know your thinking Yeah right, I understand that sounds much easier than it is but it does not mean it cant be done. Think about it, who can you be better than anyone else? The one person that you can imitate better than anyone you know is yourself! When you make up your mind that no ones opinion about you is going to alter who you are, you will find freedom in your life. Many people that spend a lot of time talking bad about you are the same people that have nothing good to say about anyone. These people are ones who have given in to the pressure that you are fighting against, so why would you consume yourself in trying to please a person who cant even be happy with themselves. Learn who you are, get to know yourself, be happy with the skin your in. If you need to hear you are beautiful, look in the mirror and tell YOURSELF you are beautiful. Understand and accept that there will be a lot of people who the devil will use to cause you to try to be something your not or do something that you know is not right for you to do. Dont be ashamed of who you are and the convictions and restrictions you have in your life. Dont allow any one to alter who you are and how you feel about yourself.
The bible says in psalms 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
No matter your age, know who you are, be confident in who you are because its you that you do best!
May the grace of God encamp you, the mercy of God protect you and the peace of God comfort you always!
