Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
 Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Tell a moment in your life you knew God was real. Answer: There have been several moments in my life where God has made himself real to me. One experience I will share was pretty awesome! One evening, I was in my room and just singing random songs out of the Baptist Hymnal I had. I was singing the hymns from my heart and just worshipping God. I am totally unaware of how long I was at it. As I was singing, God's glory and presence came down around me like a misty cloud and filled my room. It was like the Holy Spirit wrapped himself around me like a warm blanket. I continued to praise him. A friend of mine was there and witnessed it. She just watched in stunned silence. She told me later that I was prophesying. I have no recollection of that. I just remember worshipping and basking in his presence. It was like I was in some kind of trance or in another world. I just enjoyed the intimate moment with God until the mist lifted. I will never forget it.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  PROMPT July 5th You’re out with friends for the evening and have ended up at a Karaoke Bar. You’ve all agreed you will sing at least one song. What song will you sing? Why that one? This one is kind of a difficult one for me. I don't sing much karaoke. I have sang it twice in my life, I think. Lol I sing more gospel songs in church. I have nothing against karaoke though. Maybe I should try it more often. If I had to make a choice, I would probably sing something from the eighties or a country song because that is what I am most familiar with. Reba is my favorite country singers, so maybe I could sing one of her songs. She has several good ones. Or I could sing Dolly Parton’s version of I Will Always Love You. I think I could sing that song really well and with feeling. I have an adventurous spirit. I would at least try it once. I would not be able to guarantee the outcome though, especially if I had never practiced that song before.🤷♀️ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week is a great week to write a poem about July 4th! I am judging this contest this month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - Ephesians 1:3-10 Scripture: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Observations: Verse 3- We bless God because he has blessed us with all spiritual blessings. Verse 4- We were chosen by him before he even created the world. Verse 5- According to his will, we are predestined to be adopted by him through his son Jesus. Verse 6- It is by the glory of his grace that we are accepted in the beloved. Verse 7- We have redemption through the blood that Jesus she'd for us and forgiveness of sins by his grace. Verse 8- His grace abounds towards us with wisdom and prudence. Verse 9- He makes his will known to us as he has pleasure. Verse 10- He does this so his word will be fulfilled and we have unity in Christ. Application: God chooses us and sets us apart for his glory according to his purpose. Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for choosing me. Help me to live according to your will and may my life bring you glory. In Christ’s name, Amen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gratitude List 1. Cool air 2. Cold water 3. bug repellent 4. Groceries 5.

The Bible/prayer time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Prompt: “Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called the stars “the forget-me-nots of the angels.” What would you call them and why? Then, what would you call the stars on the flag? Hmm! I never thought to call them anything but stars because that is what they are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  We cruised the outer rim today. Back on Earth, one of the most populated nations on Earth is still celebrating it's birthday. God bless America. Do you celebrate Independence Day where you live? If so, what is that like? If not, why not? I didn't celebrate yesterday. I mostly stayed home to care for my dog who is scared of fireworks. I did however, take time to say a prayer for this country. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Day 3154: July 5, 2021 Prompt: My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style Maya Angelou What is your mission in life? That sounds like a great mission. I just want to live life to its fullest and leave the world a better place because I was in it. I like to live every day with a passion and give it all I’ve got.
