 You are Chosen by God

    ~ God wants to bless you abundantly. He has Chosen you, and formed you in your mother's womb. He is still there to help you. Everyone who worships idols will be disappointed, but God promises to help you and forgive all your sins.

1"But now, listen to me, Jacob my servant, Israel my chosen one. 2The Lord who made you and helps you says: Do not be afra...id, O Jacob, my servant, O dear Israel, my chosen one. 3For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. 4They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank. 5Some will proudly claim, 'I belong to the Lord.' others will say, 'I am a descendant of Jacob.' Some will write the Lord's name on their hands and will take the name of Israel as their own."
6This is what the Lord says - Israel's King and Redeemer, the Lord of Heaven's Armies: "I am the First and the Last; there is no other God."
9Howfoolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. 10Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit? 11All who worship idols will be disgraced along with all these craftsmen - mere humans - who claim they can make a god. They may all stand together, but they will stand in terror and shame.
21"Pay attention, O Jacob for you are my servant, O Israel. I the Lord, made you, and I will not forget you. 22I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free."

Isaiah 44:1-6, 9-11, 21-22

Sister Mary of St. Peter stated that Our Lord wanted this devotion to be spread throughout the world with the goal of making reparation for the sins which offend God.

PRAYER TO OFFER THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER TO APPEASE HIS JUSTICE AND DRAW DOWN MERCY UPON US  

    Almighty and Eternal Father, since it has pleased Our Divine Savior to reveal to mankind in modern times the power residing in His Holy Face, we now avail ourselves of this Treasure in our great need. Since our Savior Himself promised that by offering to You His Holy Face disfigured in the Passion we can procure the settlement of all the affairs of our household, and that nothing whatsoever will be refused to us, we now come before Your throne.
    Eternal Father, turn away Your angry gaze from our guilty people whose face has become unsightly in Your eyes. Look instead upon the Face of Your Beloved Son; for this is the Face of Him in whom You are well pleased. We now offer You His Holy Face covered with blood, sweat, dust, spittle and shame, in reparation for the worst crimes of our age, which are atheism, blasphemy, and the desecration of Your holy days. We thus hope to appease Your anger justly provoked against us. The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our cause; listen to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through the merits of His Holy Face hearken to Him when He intercedes for us poor miserable sinners.

The Benifits of Saying the Rosary

   There are Benefits to saying our Rosary: Such as the 15 Promises of Mary for those who pray the Rosary, 10 Blessings, and 7 Benefits.. Described below.

 

 

    The word Rosary means "Crown of Roses". Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and that each complete Rosary makes her a crown of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important one. The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because within it lies the awesome story of our salvation. With the Rosary in fact we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the glory of Jesus and Mary. It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary. It's a prayer we can all say together with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail Mary we invite Her to pray for us. Our Lady always grants our request. She joins Her prayer to ours. Therefore it becomes ever more useful, because what Mary asks She always receives, Jesus can never say no to whatever His Mother asks for. In every apparition, the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace. With your prayer made together with Your heavenly Mother, you can obtain the great gift of bringing about a change of hearts and conversion. Each day, through prayer you can drive away from yourselves and from your homeland many dangers and many evils.
It can seem a repetitive prayer but instead it is like two sweethearts who many times say one another the words: "I love you"...
The Blessed Holy Father John Paul II on October 16th, 2002 with the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae on the Most Holy Rosary has added 5 new mysteries of the Rosary: The Mysteries of the Light.

The 15 Promises of Mary to those who Pray the Rosary:

1	Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces.

3.	The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies
4.	It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5.	The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6.	Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7.	Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8.	Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise.
9.	I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10.	The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11.	You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12.	All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13.	I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death

It's Not About How Many Prayers You Say

  

(The Blessed Mother)

Painted by the Child Prodigy Akaine Kramarik

http://akiane.com/

 To start off, I always find myself just longing to hear God, or someone to get a message from, because in those moments I feel so loved and so happy it's like I never want to leave that moment. And so I'm always waiting for someone to come talk to me because I miss them so much. Of course I cant always speak to them because its like your in an alternate time space, I don't really know how to put it because when I talk to God it sometimes feels like a very short conversation but then I look at the clock and 2 hours have passed and I don't notice it because I'm going on about my daily life and not paying attention to the time. Its because Heaven is eternity there is no clocks up there. And in that moment its pure happiness, makes you never want to leave, which is why I don't always speak with them that often because I am a mother I have children to take care of, I have a life to live, I have to come back to reality so I can pass the message on.

    Last night I talked to my dear Mother Mary, she is so lovely, she is the best mom anyone could ask for. She cares so much for us, and she always wants us to tell her how we are feeling. Last night she knew I was feeling sad and a bit stressed because I have been feeling drained and tired a lot, we have been having a lot going on, so I been kind of rushing through my prayers because I try to say like 50 different prayers in the morning and at night HA.. Really though I have all these prayers printed out, special prayers for in the morning and at night and I try to say them all, and when were pressed for time especially on weekends because we usually have some family things to do, I rush through them and then it makes me upset because I feel like I'm not really meaning it.

    I always say my rosary once a day, because its important to say your rosary, especially once every day because it saves us from the fires of hell. On weekdays I say my rosary in the mornings and weekends its at night. Then I try to follow up with my morning and evening prayers, but lately its been crazy and I been rushing through them.

    Well my wonderful Mother told me she saw I was feeling sad and knew I was a bit stressed so she just came to spend some time with me to talk about things. She told me it doesn't matter how many prayers you say. The rosary is VERY important especially daily, which I always make time to do. But my morning and evening prayers don't have to be SO much.

    God doesn't care about the number of prayers you say, He cares that you say any at all. Even if you say one or two or just a few that's good enough. As long as you MEAN IT. Praying just to pray doesn't really do anything for you, but if you pray and you truly mean it, that's what is the biggest difference. If your rushing out the door because your late, and you take one minute or just a few seconds to stop in your tracks and tell God you love Him, thank Him for all the blessings in your life, or just say a Hail Mary or Our Father, that counts because your stopping everything just to give Him some recognition. That's what is important to God, that you acknowledge Him and say a meaningful prayer. Its just important to pray and be sincere about it.

    Of course you can always talk to God and Mary or whoever from Heaven about anything. Last night other than her teaching me about praying, she asked me how my weekend went, she saw that we had a very good time, she saw I laughed and played with my children at the parked I swung on the swings I slid down the slide, and I was really happy. And she saw that and she was happy I was happy. We talked about how things are better between me and my husband. What things bother me and how to try and make them better. You know I don't have a deep relationship with my mom so talking to Mary it makes me so happy because its the relationship I have always wanted with my mom, I'm just getting it from My Heavenly Mother, and its so nice because she already knows everything so I can just talk to her about it all.

Lets Discuss Suffering - Its not the evil we think it is!

   (for no one suffered more than the Son of God Himself, more than His Blessed Mother)

 So I have been learning a lot about suffering. I have been having a lot of hard times thinking about the people I love who aren't living the lives they should and who do not have God in their lives. In the book I read The Boy who met Jesus, Jesus says that people can live a good life all their lives but if they do not love God or have God in their lives they have no place in heaven.

   I am not scared for myself when the end of days comes, I will die for Jesus tomorrow if it came to it. I am mostly scared for the people that I love so much, I am afraid that I will not have enough time to save and help the souls of the people I love and care for so much. I cannot go preaching and trying to help people who do not want to hear or talk to me. It has been one of the most painful burdens I have ever witnessed.

   If I could suffer for other people in order to help save their souls I would. I have told God that, if it would be His will, I will suffer for the ones I love, so that they may have a chance in heaven. If they won't give me the time of day or even think about putting God in their lives, then maybe I can take some of their sufferings and bear them for them.

    Once I decided this and I told God that I would, I knew God wanted me to research the real meaning behind suffering, and I had a devotional book that has a whole section on suffering and how to learn to deal with it, and how it is something that we all must go through. It is actually a great blessing from God. He was pushing me to read this section in my book. He always points me to what I need to read next. I love that, because I want to read a certain book and God tells me to read something else, and it turns out to be exactly the answers to my questions and what I need to read! I LOVE IT! And I never knew that suffering could be something wonderful. So I am going to touch on that today.

     I am going to write you about suffering why its important, how to deal with it, and how to use it for happiness.

SUFFERING

How to Make the Greatest Evil in

Our Lives Our Greatest Happiness

by Fr. Paul O' Sullivan, O.P.

 

     Suffering is the great problem of human life. We all have to suffer. Sometimes small sorrows, sometimes greater ones fall to our share. We shall now tell our readers how to avoid much  of this suffering and how to derive great benefits from every suffering we may have to bear.

    The reason why suffering appears so hard is that first of all, we are not taught what suffering is. Secondly, we are not taught how to bear it. Thirdly, we are not taught the priceless value of suffering. This is due to the incomprehensible neglect on the part of our teachers.

    It is surprising how easily some people bear great sufferings; whereas, others get excited even at the smallest trouble. The simple reason is that some have been taught all about suffering; others have not.

 

SUFFERING IS NOT THE EVIL

WE THINK IT IS 

 

     First of all, then, suffering is not simply an evil, for no one suffered more than the Son of God Himself, more than His Blessed Mother or more than the Saints. Every suffering comes from God. It may appear to come to us by chance or accident or from someone else, but in reality, every suffering comes to us from God. Nothing happens to us without His wish or permission. Not even a hair falls from our heads without His consent.

     Why does God allow us to suffer? Simply because He is asking us to take a little share in His Passion. What appears to come by chance or from someone else always comes because God allows it. Every act in our Lords Life was a lesson for us. The greatest act in His life was His Passion. This, then, is the greatest lesson for us. It teaches us that we to must suffer.

    God suffered all the dreadful pains of His Passion for each one of us. How can we refuse to suffer a little for love of Him?

 

SUFFERING IS THE GOLD

IN OUR LIVES

 

    Secondly, if we accept the suffering He sends us and offer them in union with His sufferings, we receive the greatest rewards. Five minutes suffering borne for love of Jesus is of greater value to us than years and years of pleasure and joy. The Saints tell us that if we patiently bear our sufferings, we merit the crown of martyrdom.

     Moreover, suffering borne patiently brings out all that is good in us. Those who have suffered are usually the most charming people.

     If we bear these facts clearly in mind, it certainly becomes much easier to suffer.

 

GOD ALWAYS GIVES STRENGTH TO

BEAR OUR SUFFEREINGS

 

    Thirdly, when God gives us any suffering, He always gives us strength to bear it, if we only ask Him. Many instead of asking for His help, get excited and revolt. It is this excitement and impatience that really makes suffering hard to bear.

    Consider that we are now speaking of all suffering even the most trifling ones. All of us have little troubles, pains, disappointments, every day of our lives. All these, if borne for love of God, obtain for us, as we have said, the greatest rewards.

 

 

HOW TO BEAR SUFFERING

 

    Even the greater sufferings that may fall to our share from time to time become easy to bear if we accept them with serenity and patience. What really makes suffering difficult to bear is our own impatience, our revolt, our refusal to accept it. This irritation increases our sufferings a hundredfold and, besides, robs us of all the merit we could have gained thereby.

    We see some people pass through a tempest of suffering with the greatest calm and serenity;  whereas, others get irritated at the slightest annoyance or disappointment. We can all learn this calm and patience. It is the secret of happiness. An eminent physician, in a conference which he gave to distinguished scientists and fellow doctors, told them that he owed all his great success in life to the simple fact that he had corrected his habit of impatience and annoyance, which had been destroying all his energy and activity.

    Everyone, we repeat, without exception, can learn this calm and serenity.

 

PENANCE

 

    We must all do penance for our sins. If we do not, we shall have long years of suffering in the awful fires of Purgatory. This fire is just the same as the fire of Hell.

     Now, if we offer our sufferings the very little ones as well as the greater one - in union with the sufferings of Jesus Christ, we are doing the easiest and best penance we can perform. We may thus deliver ourselves entirely from Purgatory, while at the same time gaining the greatest graces and blessings.

 

 Let us remember clearly that:

1. Sufferings come from God for our benefit.
2. When we are in the state of grace, we derive immense merit from every suffering borne patiently, even the little sufferings of our daily lives.
3. God will give us abundant strength to bear our sufferings if we only ask Him.
4. If we bear our sufferings patiently, they lose their sting and bitterness.
5. Above all, every suffering is a share in the Passion of Our Lord.
6. By our sufferings we can free ourselves in great part, or entirely, from the pains of Purgatory.
7. By bearing our sufferings patiently, we win the glorious crown of martyrdom.

Of course, we may do all in our power to avoid or lessen our sufferings, but we cannot avoid all suffering. Therefore, it is clearly necessary for us to learn how to bear them.

   In a word, we must understand clearly that if we remain calm, serene and patient, suffering loses all its sting, but the moment we get excited, the smallest suffering increases a hundredfold.

   It is just as if we had a sore arm or leg and rubbed it violently; it would become irritated and painful; whereas, if we touch it gently, we sooth the irritation.

   We suffer from ill-health, from pains, headaches, rheumatism, arthritis, from accidents, from enemies. We may have financial difficulties. Some suffer for weeks in their homes, some in hospitals or nursing homes. In a word, we are in a vale of tears. Almighty God could have saved us from all suffering, but He did not do so because He knows in His infinite goodness that suffering is good for us.

 

    

 

Daily Passage - God Prepares a Fest

May 22

God Prepares a Feast

 

 

God promised to bring His people back to their country. He prepared a feast for them so that they would realize that He saved them. God also promises you a feast - He is already busy preparing it in heaven.

 

   1O Lord, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them.
   2You turn mighty cities into heaps of ruins. Cities with strong walls are turned to rubble. Beautiful palaces in distant lands disappear and will never be rebuilt. 3Therefore, strong nations will declare your glory; ruthless nations will fear you.
    4But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O Lord, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. For the oppressive acts of ruthless people are like a storm beating against a wall, 5or like the relentless heat of the desert. But you silence the roar of foreign. As the shade of a cloud cools relentless heat, so the boastful songs of ruthless people are stilled.
   6In Jerusalem, the Lord of Heaven's Armies will spread a wonderful feast for all the people of the world. It will be a delicious banquet with clear, well-aged wine and choice meat.
   8He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign Lord will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The Lord has spoken!
   9In that day the people will proclaim, "This is our God! We trusted in him, and he saved us! This is the Lord, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!"

~Isaiah 25: 1-6, 8-9

To Us a Child is Born!

 



People who lived in the darkness of sin saw a great light. To them a Child was born - a Wonderful Counselor, a Mighty God an Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. That Child was also born in order for you to become a child of God.

 

   1Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory.

   2The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness , a light will shine.

   3You will enlarge the nation of Israel, and its people will rejoice. They will rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest and like warriors dividing the plunder.

   4For you will break the yoke of their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. You will break the oppressor's rod, just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian. 5The boots of the warrior and the uniforms bloodstained by war will all be burned. They will be fuel for the fire.

   6For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called : Wonderful Counselor, Might God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

 

~Isaiah 9:1-6

I read a lot from a book called The Bible in 366 days for Woman. Its a passage from the bible day by day, and I love reading and reflecting on bible passages. Actually I love anything that helps me grow closer to God. So I would love to start sharing each passage I read every day.

Happy 3 Years to me and the husband

    "Love between a man and a woman is a flame of God. It is strong as death, with the power of an all consuming fire. True love can never be extinguished and is never for sale. When you have found love, cherish is with all your heart".


    3 years ago today, I married the man that God has made for me. 7 years in total we have been together, we've been through A LOT of ups and downs, a lot of dark and hard times, but never fully let go of each other. And in between we have made some wonderful memories together. We have 2 beautiful boys who are Stutes through and through no doubt, and we love with all our hearts

I am not sad for all the dark times we went through, for they brought us to where we are today, and thanks to God we have found that fresh in love feeling all over again. I still get butterflies when I look at my husband, I still think he is the most handsome man when I see him.

I get foot rubs and back scratches sometimes even without asking, I get surprised with a treat from the store here and there. I get up to the dishes washed a lot of weekends, I get help with the kids every night with baths and bed time. I get messages three times a day on breaks seeing how I feel and told I love you every time. I get a man who never complains about me staying home with the kids even though its tough on us. I get told to chill out every time I freak out and start looking for jobs because he knows how much I love staying with the kids.

Every little shenanigan I have pulled he has loved me through them, every at home job I tried to do, he has supported me 100% of the way and always helped me get started.

I don't think I could have asked for better, I love you so much, you are my absolute best friend, and I don't know where I would be without you.

 ~For as long as I live on this earth, I will love you every day and praise God for bringing you into my life. I can't wait to make more memories with you.~
Happy 3 year Anniversary My darling, I look forward to many more years and many more memories with you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Weekend

   So this weekend was pretty interesting we had plans to take our children to the zoo on Sunday, but switched to Saturday morning because we found out Dora would be there. My almost 2 year old is obsessed with Dora on a whole other level, I can't even explain. So my husband just so happened to look on the zoo's website Friday night to see when they close on Sunday. So he comes to me late that night and says hey lets go tomorrow morning Dora will be there. Of course I thought I would win mother of the year for taking Carter Paul see him some Dora... Well that meeting did not go as I would have hoped. At first from far away in the line he was elated and shouting Dowa, Dowa (as he calls her). The minute we get there to take pictures and I don't even know how I got these pictures back to back, but it shows his reaction to her. I will gladly share with you hehe

(Not to impressed)

(Just the beginning of his freak out) 

 (And there he goes)

(Of course Daddy came to the rescue)

 

 

   So that was our Saturday morning it was not the way I was expecting him to react, Of course I thought well he might not watch her dvd over and over and over now. No, no he still puts her on repeat at home, he just doesn't care for her in person ha.

 

    Here's some better more happier pictures from the zoo.

 (My two cuties)

(As long as I live on this earth, I will praise the Lord for these 3) 

 (They grow so fast its unreal)

 

(Me and my little man) 

(The Family Photo, you know there's always that one kid in there HAHA)

 

 

 

    I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, and did not forget to Praise God for all your blessings in your life, even if its just the breath you take, or just him allowing you to wake up every morning. Praise, Praise him, for he alone is the one who allows us to have what we have, and can take away at any given moment. He is the one who allows us to succeed in life, everything is a gift from above. So always remember to have God in your hearts, that is the true treasure of life.







The Boy who met Jesus Segatasha of Kebeho by Immaculee Ilibagiza

A book every person on this earth should read

 

You can find it on: Barnes&Noble

Also can find it on: Amazon

 



 

   I am at the end of this book and I can't tell you how sad I am that this is ending, I never want to stop reading about this boys life. Every person who wants to work their way to heaven should read this book. He talks about the end of days and how Jesus wants us to start preparing our souls, its something that's worth every word in this book. I will write the over view of this book so you can see what its about. But I could not do this book justice trying to explain it. I feel as if I know this boy on a personal level just by reading this book and I know he is now in heaven looking down and smiling at all the people who are reading about his messages Jesus gave to him.

 

 

Overview

 

It's the greatest story never told: that of a boy who met Jesus and dared to ask Him all the questions that have consumed mankind since the dawn of time.

His name was Segatashya. He was a shepherd born into a penniless and illiterate pagan family in the most remote region of Rwanda. He never attended school, never saw a bible, and never set foot in a church. Then one summer day in 1982 while the 15-year-old was resting beneath a shade tree, Jesus Christ paid him a visit. Jesus asked the startled young man if he'd be willing to go on a mission to remind mankind how to live a life that leads to heaven.

Segatashya accepted the assignment on one condition: that Jesus answer all his questions-and all the questions of those he met on his travels-about faith, religion, the purpose of life, and the nature of heaven and hell. Jesus agreed to the boy's terms, and Segatashya set off on what would become one of the most miraculous journeys in modern history.

Although he was often accused of being a charlatan and beaten as a result, Segatashya's innocent heart and powerful spiritual wisdom quickly won over even the most cynical of critics. Soon, this teenage boy who had never learned to read or write was discussing theology with leading biblical scholars and advising pastors and priests of all denominations. He became so famous in Rwanda that the Catholic Church investigated his story. The doctors and psychiatrists who examined Segatashya all agreed that they were witnessing a miracle. His words and simple truths converted thousands of hearts and souls wherever he went.

Before his death during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Segatashya continued his travels and conversations with Jesus for eight years, asking Him what we all want to know: Why were we created?

God's latest Message Friday May 17, 2013

    Okay so I finally am able to catch you up on everything that has been going on, now I can just start having a normal blog, but I needed to catch you up on everything that has been going on.. God has a lot to say ya know :-)

May 17, 2013

 

Its amazing how much time difference is between heaven and earth I have literally been in conversation with God since about 8:30am after I finished my prayers. And it feels like a 30 minute convo.. Got a lot of house work done not even noticing the time passing by until I look at the clock and its like 10:18am and I was do whaaat how did that much time pass?? LOL weird

Anyways its started it off with... the devil coming at me this morning. He was really laying it on me making me feel like my husband hated me and he was still in love with an old girl friend. I felt horrible this morning. Which it started off dreaming my husband cheated on me and hated me.. And funny I just told him and he said he dreamed I cheated on him. So I know the devil really is coming at the both of us because we really have been doing soo much better in our relationship thanks to God.

So in this moment of feeling that way I just started praying and praying and here came God and he took all that pain away. But I knew something had been bothering me I just couldn't figure out why I had this feeling of a cloud. So I didn't really lay into God I would never fuss Him I know better than that.. But I got all the problems that are bothering me out of my chest, like I was out of breath when I finished and then I cried and apologized for feeling that way. And we talked about things this and that, the stuff that was bothering me. Which is I am so worried about people who aren't living the life that there suppose to, I'm terrified for their souls and them not making it to heaven. Even if you live a clean life and do nothing wrong, but if you don't have God then you have nothing. And I tend to put the problems of other people and the world on my shoulders and I cry and hurt for other people. But that's NOT my job its God's, He is here to do all that, He is the only One powerful enough to hold the weight of the world on his shoulders.

But the one thing he told me was to tell people this:

Life isn't a big race, its not about who crosses the finish line first, God loves all his children EQUALLY, he does not favor one or the other. We are all Equals some of us just choose to put our selves at a higher standard in thinking were better then some. that is the devils work. Because a true child of God knows that we and even those who do really bad things are still children of God and he loves us all the same. Some of us just choose to accept his love and some of us don't.

So this is his message :

   Its not about crossing the finish line first, its about who you get and pick up along the way to cross it with you. Crossing it together is the true reward and the true meaning of winning. Would you rather celebrate winning a race all by yourself alone.. Or celebrate winning a race as a team as equals.

You have to help others find God and therefore your helping them get closer to heaven and crossing that finish line with you, even if you don't speak to the people you worry so much about just start by praying for them and their souls its the only thing you can do for now.

Hate in your heart will get you No Where especially in the eyes of God

    Okay let me start off by saying I think that what this Kermit Gosnell man did in his abortion clinic was one of the most horrific things a person could do. Yes he should be punished for his crimes but we should not have hate towards him in our hearts because having hate is the same as being a murderer in God's eyes. So hating this man and wanting him to die is being no better than him. I am 100% AGAINST abortion. But I do not choose to hate this man or condemn him to death, I chose to mourn the loss of these children and pray for their souls as well as this man. God will judge him when the day comes and if he is not truly sorry and repent by then well he will suffer the wrath of God. I just wanted to point this out before I post what I am about to. 

   First I will share a verse with you so you have a better understanding of how God made us to be.

Hate comes from hell. Mercy comes from Christ. When we have hate in our hearts, our spirits are damaged. Be careful with your words. Not only are you a living witness of Christ and His truth, but you could put your own soul at risk. "Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him." 1 John 3:15 When we hate, we are no better than those who kill.

This is a very powerful article. Plea for mercy for Kermit Gosnell

 

 This person is asking for a lot of mercy on this man, and I think everyone needs to keep in mind.. God wants us to love our enemies as well and we should pray for there souls. We were not made to hate others..., we were made to love. And NO I do not agree with anything this man did and I think he should be punished for it. BUT wanting him to die goes against EVERYTHING the Lord God stands for, whether you want to admit it or not. Our God is not a God of Hate but a God of Love and Mercy and just as he told me NO ONE is hopeless, even this cruel man could convert to the Lord God, But it is his choice. If he does not seek forgiveness for his sins and turn to God then he will be dealt with when God judges him.

It is not our job to judge people, that is the Lords job. We should continually pray for this mans soul. Because hating him and condemning him to death is only what the DEVIL wants us to feel.

We are not made to hate, but to Love, EVERYONE. You do NOT have to agree with the actions of others but you should never hate them. That will only destroy your relationship with God and stray you away from the path that leads you to heaven.

The ONLY person Jesus says not to Love is the devil, but you can pray for him to ask God forgiveness because it is possible. Jesus himself told a little boy he appeared to in the 1980's Not that very long ago just before I was born, that if the devil could find it in his heart to sincerely ask God for forgiveness he would be allowed back into heaven. But it is his choice not to and his choice to seek the ruin of souls to hurt God.

It is very hard to love our enemies at times, but just remember how God made us. And allowing hate and resentment in your hearts is allowing the devil reside in your hearts as well.

Just some food for thought this morning God would like you to know.

 
~This person had a lot of courage to ask for mercy on this man and I am sure God is very proud for not having the hate towards this man like so many devoted "Christians" do.

The Blessed Mother is Very important to us

     Let the Light in

 

    So I have realized I was building my relationship up with God and Jesus, then I realized I kind of was in a way neglecting Mary. So I start telling her how much I wanted to build a relationship with her. And I wanted her to deeply show me how to be a better mother, and a better wife, how to become more like her.

And I noticed I haven't been hearing God lately like I was but I know he's always her...e so I had no worries, I'm sure he has lots of children he's off talking to. Well I had the urge to take the blankets off the windows and just give this house a BIG spring cleaning and let some light in this house, because our house is unusually dark, and I have been feeling and hearing negative things in the house.

Once I pulled off the blankets and I opened a window and opened the back door and gated it off, her came God's voice booming.. The light was  we needed in our house, the negative can survive in the dark, they hate the light, the scatter like cock roaches when God's light comes in. So he was telling me how to get rid of the negative from our house. And I owe it all to My Mother Mary, because I know she heard my cry for help and she gave me the push to really cleanse the house and let the light in, and there fore God's voice came back to me.

Always let the light in, it is after all the first thing God said at the beginning of Creation
~ "Let there be Light" and God saw that the light was good.

Open a window or two or a door. Fresh air does the body, mind and soul good. My house is in just an hour a wonderfully changed place with the light and the air God made. And the negative things that were in this house are gone. Our house was to dark there fore they were able to stay. Well no more buddy God gave me the second secret besides blessing your house!

 

Getting Closer to God   

  

     When you find yourself getting closer to God, and you really become in a deep and meaningful relationship with him.. It FREAKS the devil out, because he knows your going to spread God's word and start helping people get closer to him as well, then he's going to try and bring you down, really bad because he knows the more people that turn to God the more people are no longer scared of him because God will always give you the answers and the tools (prayers) you need to fight him.

I not only hear God, but I hear the devil as well, and he's very good at trying to get you to think he's God, But the devil will never and could never sound or be like God. All you have to do is pray to God and ask him to help you separate whose word is whose, and you will always know.

I had a hell of a week last week going round and round with the devil. And in the times I thought he was going to win, I broke down in tears and asked God to save me. And you know what, he always came to my rescue, he will ALWAYS come to your rescue if you just ask it of him.

Also Saying a Rosary at least once a day is one of the best tools against the devil. I started saying mine every mornings and sometimes I say it twice a day when I do my night time prayers. But it is one of the best ways to keep him away.

I feel much better now that Mother Mary has come to my aid in helping me find God's voice again. I'm no longer scared of the devil because I know if I keep on my right track, stay focused on God and heaven, God will always come to my aid when I need him. I'm also no longer afraid of dying because Its just means Ill be next to my Father in my real home, because this is not our home, this is a temporary one, our real home is waiting for us. So we need to in turn prepare our souls to be ready to enter into God's heavenly kingdom.

  Ah see there's the crazy posts that I haven't been doing lately LOL. Now I know for sure I found God's voice again LOL

 

Getting the Push I need to be a better Me

 

I love when I can feel God's Love radiating on me and I know he's proud.

Knowing we are going to be making major changes in our lives, for the rest of them. I decided I need to start my day off at 5am, so I can have my prayer time, and then begin my house work and then my working day. I have been non stop spring cleaning since 5, I have been on my feet all day, and could not be more exhausted about now.

Some how my coffee machine went off I think carter started it and its not suppose to go off till 4:55am.. So I took it as a sign just have one cup to finishes house work and baking Tuckers school snack which is taking forever.

Doing dishes after dishes, and then after supper tonight I just said Mary help me make it through this night, and I decided not to let tonight's dishes go unwashed I didn't want to do them tomorrow morning. So I just say come on keep going we have the back of the house to spring clean tomorrow. And in that moment of deciding not to give up the house work.. I just could feel God's Love and Proudness radiating on my and I just cried and cried tears of happiness, because God's Love is that strong it can move you to tears.

I know I have been making major changes and when I cried out to Mother Mary to help me be a better house wife and mother, I really found the drive to really get my house in better shape, and tonight I felt more Love than I ever thought I could feel by someone I can't even see. But God's presence is one that will move you to the most joyous tears. And I am so Happy that I made Him proud, because that is the one thing I tell him all the time is I just don't want to let him down, and I don't want to fail.

Tonight I truly feel like I have accomplished step one in changing of my life. I have never felt more proud of myself and happy with myself. And I know My Heavenly Father is even more proud.

I am exhausted but feel great about it because I know I truly earned the right to be!!

 

 

A new Voice

She really is Perfect

 

I love how I am building relationships with each person one at a time it really gives me a better understanding of life.

Tonight I have heard a new Voice!

I have been praying a lot to the Blessed Mother this week and I can always tell when her presence is around me because I have no worries, I smile at everything, I have such a peace about me and my heart has more joy and love and I didn't thin...k I could get any happier. But she really does bring a sense of true happiness. I was having such a hard time really talking to her other than praying to her because she is so holy and so pure that I just didn't know how to speak to her.

But I finally let my guard down and really opened up and talked to her exactly like my mom, in fact that's what I call her is Mother, mom some times, but Mother is what fits me best. And when I speak to her I have such a calmness I didn't even know existed in my loud self lol.. But when I began to really open up the way a daughter does to her mother. I heard Her voice, and to describe the voice of the Blessed Mother is so hard, because it is truly an Angelic voice, just exactly how a mother talks to her little children, so kind and full of love and compassion. And when I am conversing with her, I am in that moment blissfully happy with a slight smile on my face.

She told me just because she is Holy doesn't mean she wasn't once a parent just like I am, she just has a lot more children to love and care for. So I can talk to her just the way I do with everyone else. I guess Mary is just so pure it is hard to think we can just carry on a normal every day conversation. But turns out you can.

The Blessed Mother is equally as important to pray to and ask for help, because she always comes to her children's aid. And she gives us another opening to God and Jesus and then you really start to understand. I was having such a hard time going back and forth with what I was suppose to do or if I was really crazy, but when I turned to Mother Mary she really planted my feet firmly on the path that I am on so I never look back. And I am so thankful to her because of that, because now I am only focused on the future I don't feel as confused and torn, I am more at peace with the new life I am going to be living and the changes to myself I will be making.

My Heart is full of so much joy sometimes it feels like a dream, I'm afraid to blink because I think this will end. But alas it is no dream, it is real and I am so humbled to be so close to the heavenly family that I look forward to the life of helping others find their faith and becoming closer to God... No turning back now!

 

 

 

 

 

Just a friendly message from God

I love spending time in Prayer, it sooths me so much. I spent some extra time in it this morning after my rosary and it truly made me feel better. I have been feeling off but I found out why. So now I need to really focus on God and his words!

~ When you hear Me, you hear him as well. He will try to cloud you from Me.
Keep Focus! ~

Give praise to God today, stop and for just a minute thank him ...for the little things in your life you have, Love, laughter, children, family, the roof over your head, food, soap, water. Money... There are ALWAYS people in this world who have it worse than us, and they probably have a lot more faith as a result because they realize the things they DO have.

It is because of God you have these things. Do not forget he can take away at any moment just as easily as he gave or allowed you to have. He is All Mighty and Powerful, don't forget that.

Don't forget who made you, who gave you your first breath, and who can take it away at any given moment.

Love the Lord with all your heart and soul, walk in His path and He will bless you.
