Thank you Father that you allow your grace and mercy to flow and cover me each day. I would be lost w/o you. Every where I turn I am reminded of you and this keeps me going along with everything that you have done and given up for me so that I can show your love to others.
Thank you for blessing me so that I can be a blessing to others. As you have told me to be in your word and in our alone time together. I am in awe of you and all that you do and have done.
Thank you for another day to seek you and follow you. For things that seem hard and difficult and take me out of my comfort zone so that I may grow, rely, lean, and trust more in you. Not in myself because I know that I will make a mistake but thru you I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.

Dear God,
I love your sense of humor.
Thank you for showing me that glaring character defect today we have been working on together.
Omgosh, the joke is always on me. You crack me up how that works out.
His laundry, seriously? I think you have a slightly twisted sense of humor, but then so do I. That's what made it even more funny. Yes, I will be obedient to your word.
Your loving daughter,

God, thank you for not giving me children that i must bury.  My prayers go out to my cousin Karen and her husband John who lost her youngest son Matthew early this morning.

Alicia was gifted with a liver transplant.
Whoever reads this, Please hold her and her family up in prayer.
Mary's (not me) friend is dying of cancer. She makes her mashed potatoes to eat because its all she likes. I thank her for sharing her story with me. I am so deeply humbled. It put me right back in my place. We hold them up in prayer.
Watching her walk in life gives me such a deep appreciation for my life, the people in it, and how precious life really is.
How much I take for granted.
Heavenly Father, Thank you for never letting go.
No matter what or where I may wander, you never let go.

Dear God,
Thank you for showing me places where my pride and ego stand in the way of my relationship with You. Thank you for lessons i have learned in that. Thank you for showing me the fear & self~centeredness that keeps me away from you. It isn't pretty to look at. I will practice keeping my eyes on only you, pointing my heart to only you Lord Jesus, my Father and Savior. I invite you into every area of my heart and life.Please use me where I am.

Thank you God for giving me the gift of 'gab' even though i do not seem to show it in my letters to you. 

Thank you God for giving me the strength to turn away from those I would gladly engage in a fight based on their treatment of me in previous days.

Thank you God for sustaining us and showing me windows even though I know i can not jump through them at this time.  Those windows show me a possible future that i feel i do not have at many times.  However, those windows show me hope, which at many times i do not have.

God I am so grateful for the conversations we have with our friends and family... I am grateful for the lessons that are learned from one another as we speak to each other.. I am grateful that when we are talking to one another, we also speaking to ourselves as well.
I am grateful for relationships (marriage, friendships, my sisters and brothers and the children)
God bring people together to help us see Him in each of us in a godless world ....to reassure his existence..our purpose for his plan....
I am grate for each and everyone God places on my path....

I'm grateful for my daughter LaToya and God working things out in her life.... and for the people that God has place in her life.
I thank God that these people show Latoya how much they care about her... And them being very sincerely..
I am grateful God is deliver her out of things that have held her captive for years .I thank God for answering prayers in his timing and not mine / ours ...I'm finding His timing is perfect and he knows best....

I ask of this to you my sisters..

If God is for us who can be against us ... These battles are not ours they are the Lords ... The victories have already been fought and won when will we act like it ???? When will we walk in our victories Jesus gave his life for us those that believe in him ....
Jesus being sacrifice was made just for you and I so that we may be made whole ....
Let's make Jesus our Lord and Savior one and only living God who loves us and cares for us all unconditional .... He wants very best for us ....that is himself Jesus is the only way .. The one and only living God ... He do not want not one of us to be separated from him for eternity... So if you have not except Jesus as your lord and Savior over your life ... And or if we slip and fall short He is always there to forgive us. Just ask him into your heart....and receive in your heart as Lord and Savior ... Amen

All of these things I am grateful for ..I love each and everyone of you..

Today I Choose to Walk In Faith

I really found it difficult to accept todays pains & anxieties with a degree of serenity, as those more advanced in the spiritual life seem able to do, I give thanks for the lessons of today anyway.
Today I choose to walk in faith, some of it mine and some of it borrowed, to draw closer to God as it seems thats where he wanted me all along anyway.
Thank you for the kind words & love spoken to me today, it was music to my heart.
Thank you God for the time & flow of creativity to finish the violin painting.

Thank your mercy and grace that you shower upon me constantly. Leaving me in awe of you.
Thank you for sending me guidance so that in this lost world,I know who I can turn to, call upon and harken @ your words.

Iam so thankful Father for the strength that you gave me to get through my PE class.Thank you for your grace that abounds towards me. I know that it is not by my works,nor power that I am able to do anything but by your grace! I thank you for giving us examples/ situations that others have gone through,I know that you will bring me out. I just have to meditate day and night on your promises so that I am not moved by what I see but stand fast on who I know and trust!

I am grateful that my aunt threw away such a valuable violin.  I hope someone out there will find it on Etsy and treasure it as a masterful work of a Carpenter!

Be a Blessing not just being Blessed , LaTanya

Thank you for the funds Father to go to school and pay bills. I know that if it was me trying to do it on my own I would be stressed beyond measure trying to figure out what to do. I know that I have to trust you and follow what you have placed on my heart regarding my finances.
I thank you that I have transportation to go places that I need to go. Even if it costs to keep it maintained, you provide the funds through my job.
Thank you for the warm weather that we have been experiencing here. It is amazing! Not having to worry if the car will start because of the cold weather. Even if it was really cold I place my trust in you that it will start. I cast all of my cares and worries onto because I know that you can handle them.

Dear God,
Thank you for the red cardinal on the fence this morning. I was so happy to see him.
I listened to his song and was very moved.

Thank you Father for giving me the strength to endure everything that comes my way, the confidence in knowing that as long as you have good thoughts about me. It does not matter what others think. I am serving your will and not others.
I am sooooo grateful that my father and brothers will serve you. Mom and myself are standing in agreement on your word that we have whatever we asked for in the name of Jesus and that you are faithful to provide. Because you said we have not because we ask not.
This beautiful morning Father was soooo amazing and you created it just so I could stop and thank you for your beauty. So that I keep putting myself in rememberance of your love for me and never doubt you. I am soooo humbled and honored that you call me your own, your daughter.

Father I thank you first and foremost for breathing life into me so that I can continue to do your will that you have planned for me.
I am sooo thankful for your patience with me, even though I make mistakes or even allow things to take my focus off you!
You always always always send someone to cross my path to bring my focus back on you.
Whether it be from my sisters, a message from Joel, Creflo or Mac and even through a song.
Thank you for my sisters!

Thank you God for this winter white sparkling blanket of snow. For even tho it is cold, it gives me time to completely stop and learn to be in this very moment in time.
Thank you for winter, as the bears hibernate, I too slow down and feel you working beneath my inner surface, in the realm that does not walk in this world.

I am forever in awe of His beauty

I love the clouds Mary
They are sooo beautiful
It just makes you stop and think of God's beauty
