ABOUT ME

​​I am recently FOR REAL changed from a newly single woman to a newly married woman,  a mom of 2 grown children, 3 grown stepchildren, 3 grandchildren, and taking life's journey one step at a time.  I have traveled and continue to travel, while never leaving my home, cherishing every step of the way.  I still believe that when you find and have faith your journey is so much more.  

What was life like before I accepted Jesus?  Many days before I knew Jesus, I was beside myself thinking I was always wrong... between my teaching at school, my divorce, overthinking what I should have done.  I tended to have a hard time remembering that the greatest possessions are not things rather fulfilling moments. 

What is life like now, that I've accepted Jesus?   With faith I am reminded that He will and has always guided me.  So those moments of self doubt then become opportunities of change which then turn into memories..  nothing you can hold, everything you just have. 

I've realized there is a completely different approach to anything that gives me fear.  I just need to say what I need to say.. it might take a moment to come up with the clear and correct words so it doesn't cause frustration or a sense of betterment... I have nothing to lose... God is with me..  He is first and He is my guide to life.  And that moment that I respond with Him in my mind and my heart..  will make a memory that will give me faith to repeat when necessary.  I may always take things personally.. however I now just take things differently.. In away that I can only guide others with integrity and faith.  
"In order to be at peace you must spend time and connect with Him....He will guide you on your journey to find your purpose."

TRUTH..  I feel a strong connection when I spend time with HIM...

Today I read Matthew chapter 11 and feel compelled to share my message from it.  God is in charge of our life and all that we live.  I feel, He in fact puts burdens on us to teach us to just let go and allow Him to guide you through the trials.  It's almost like giving us a chance to be reminded He is always with us.. What if we remember He is with us in those trying times instead of feeling so alone? is that realistic?   He is forefront in His assurance that He is always with us..  "Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you" (Matthew 12:28)

​You are your own Masterpiece
 
 
A while ago, I was asked to create a poster to share a message online with my students.  The message I decided to share was “Be your Own Masterpiece”.  I feel if you are living your own masterpiece, you are truly living fully without FEAR or self-doubt.  
 
FEAR is a “F” word that I dread.  I am sure that many feel the same.  In the current times, FEAR is typical in our lives.  We fear the “what if”, the “I should of” or the “I wishes”.  Each statement can end with something that we regret or hope for.  
 
I believe it is in the way we look at the situation that gives us FEAR.  
 
Think of it this way, you have been given a gift of thinking.  What if you think of fear as a blessing?  Meaning, grow from your FEAR.  This is a crazy thought, but a great “what if”.  What if instead of thinking of the devastation that could happen, you start thinking of your masterpiece.  Your masterpiece that will never be fully created if you live in FEAR because you may never see all that is around you.  
 
Lately I have been trying to turn my thought around and really reflecting in wonderment over all that has been given to me.  I even thought about how God created each of us with a certain blood type, for a certain reason.  This really blows my mind!   Every detail, every inch of our bodies, inside and out, from our heads to our toes, God thought of and created.  We are His masterpiece, His work or art. 
 
So, if you think that you are a masterpiece of God meaning He created you as a masterpiece in His eyes. Then why second guess and hold doubtfulness?  If you are living with your eyes wide open, and doing You, then you are living His masterpiece.  Have no doubt, no FEAR because the masterpiece of YOU is given to you from our Creator.  All you need is faith in Him and live thankfully.  
 
I end my thought with this; The definition of a masterpiece is a work of outstanding artistry, skill or workmanship.  I hope all can continue working on their own masterpieces, with no fear.   So, “whatever you do, work at it, with all your heart” (Colossians 3:23) and continue to create YOU as your own masterpiece.
