April Showers bring May flowers....

I hope so.
Its been a while since I've logged on here.
Wow, its been such a great year so far, and I can't believe we are already at the end of April.
Time has flown, but Dad has taught me so much in this time. I'll summarize at the top of my head.
He taught me to eliminate and concentrate.
Discipline starts with something small. Like.... maybe going to sleep early and waking up early.
Give freely. Give without judging whether the person will use it correctly or not. Give out of the abundance or little that you have. Give sacrificially, and provide for your brothers and sisters in need.
Memorize his word, meditate on it, and stand firm in it. Truth sanctifies.
Stand firm in his promises, so that you can resist the deceptions of the enemy.
The battle starts in the mind.
Oatmeal in the morning, coffee, worship, and His Word, is the sweetest part of my day.
Cry to Him. Run to Him. Be intimate with Him. He will be there. Go to Him before anyone else.
Die to self, walk blameless, thirst for righteousness.
Say No to sin, and don't look back.
Praise Him for his grace and compassion upon us.
Tune your ears to His voice.
Let it go, and fix your gaze on God.
Don't put your attention on what grabs it. Pay attention to what needs to be put attention to.
He gives Honey from the Rock.
TRUE STORY: He has angels watching over me, A man followed me, and as much as I ignored him he continued, but when I stopped and responded to him, and asked if he wanted to speak in the light? His face turned into one of horror and he turned away terrified, as if he had just seen death!!!
A godly man, will not pursue a godly woman by mentioning other women to her, to get a reaction out of her.
God knows my needs before I even do, he will make them aware to me, and I must have complete faith that he is my portion and provider each day.
The prudent see danger and seek refuge, the simple just keep going.
Nehemiah built with shovel in one hand and sword in the other. Be on the alert always.
Don't deceive yourself, breaking the rules, does not please God.

Tune your ears to the sound of his voice.
He does not forsake the works of his hand.
Right now is the time to become the woman God wants me to be, and a woman that inspires confidence, a woman who works eagerly with her hands, a woman who plans and invest for the future, with wisdom and strengthened hands she is a blessing to many, and fears the Lord.

Commitment precedes intimacy. At all times.
