Cocoa's 12th Birthday...

Today my mind will be devoid of anything that would curtail celebrating 12 wonderful years (and much more I pray) of her life with me. I know Cocoa is just a dog but her loyalty, love, and quirkiness all these years have my soul falling in a better place. Those who truly love their dogs heartily know what I mean...
So what best way to celebrate Cocoa Today is to take her for a morning walk to Carl Levin Park where we first had our scores of miles we both championed together in our own creative ways.
I know that he wanted to show off and wanted to walk more but I knew her limit now is just a mile. Her legs start to grow weaker and panting more if we continued...That's okay. Life is like that even with us humans. There are things that we can't do anymore in every stages or season in our lives.

                          @ Petsmart. Got her a new collar and a beef treat. She's not much of a cake or a pie dog.

We both were tired after the walk, Petsmart and visiting grandma. She captivated my heart. Love this dog a lot...

"Let The Power Of Freedom And Faith In The Creator Triumphs In Our Hearts..."

I Believe in God's sovereignty in restoring and developing "the character" or integrity that we must have so he can work in us to be good ambassadors of the message of the Cross.

It is hard to be a sound vessel of his Word. A plethora of disputable beliefs, doctrines, masks of deceptions and agendas and propagandas luring us to be one of them. Their visibility is constantly playing our minds by broadcasting news that has been tainted and books/manuscripts written to confuse us. If we're not steadfast with what the Bible says, we'll be in the dominion of sin. And everlasting hell is as real as eternal Life in Heaven.

 But glory to God, his precious blood that was shed at Calvary Cross nailed and bore every sickness, illness, and iniquities in our lives. I know this seems unfathomable that God loves us so much that he gave us his most precious son, Jesus, but it's true. 
It would really grieve the Holy Spirit, our Comforter if we don't even know how to access all the promises that God has gifted us. 
I am like many of you still stumbles when I don't have the proper wisdom, discernment, revelation, and anointing of the Lord Jesus.
But I do know that in my life, God has been and will always be the absolute Agape Love. 

Let's not forget the true meaning of freedom: It is only found in the presence of God. Without the Spirit of the Lord guiding us (if we desire), there's no way we make it Heaven's door. Remember the great story of Noah's Ark. The door was divinely shut. It was too late! 
I pray that History doesn't repeat itself...

James1:12 KJV
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Thanking God...Blessed his Holy name.

Jerry Savalle's Powerful Preaching Tonight @ Belton Christian Center...

 Jerry Savalle shaking hands with the church congregation after blessing us with a sermon
we needed to carry in our hearts. You can actually watch and listen to him
@ BVOVN with the Copeland Ministries.
I thank God for tonight's message that revolves around Proverb 29:18 KJV
"Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

I did not expect Jerry Savalle to be preaching in a small church with just about 47-50 people sitting in the pew. Maybe because it's a Friday night and many people have gone out of town for the Memorial Day weekend. It's also the last school day for children in Central TexasSchool
Districts. But anyway, I and my two good friends were so thankful for coming to hear him preach the prophetic word.
As Christ's believers (as he explained) God has a prophetic word on each of us. Wea re the righteousness of God. "We need to keep the word before us; read it often as an affirmation, confess it daily, decree it, thank God in advance always and keep sowing your seeds for his kingdom."
We do not rely on what we see or hear for they corrupt our flesh which
affect our faith. We need to pray for God's anointed wisdom in all of our endeavors.
We do not give up nor compromise our Christian values and doctrines because God's
will in our lives surely come to pass. While waiting, we pray, we do the things that please God.
It may take a decade or twice that but we can never go wrong when we're at his will.
Thank God for a marvelous school year and the best is yet to come.
Let's declare that in good faith.
                                                               

Graciously welcomed us to have these snapshots with him.Add caption

MercyMe - Even If (Official Lyric Video)

"Right now" is just a perfect moment to enjoy listening to Mercy Me's rendition
of their beautiful song, "Even If."
Our Hope is in you Alone, Lord...
It is well with my heart and soul.
Thank You Lord Jesus!

"God Is My Refuge" Women's March Conference

If I could speak for all the women that attended the conference, there's no denying that the primary "take away" is the wisdom that Debra in the book of Judges represents. I call it relative hierarchy in position but in God's eyes, it is the spiritual sense of order. However, it is not easy for some of us to claim and stand on how God sees us first and manifest that if we don't even know what our specific calling is. Not operating under the anointing of our gifting will leave us perplexed, unsatisfied, vacillating, and unsure.

No wonder that we sometimes displace our worthiness and righteousness to substance abuse, to junk food, to associating with unequally yoked people, and oftentimes succumb to men's cloak raiments if you know what I mean...

BUT...with God and with the help of godly people, we learn how to sharpen our instincts and use it wisely in all circumstances. We can smell from afar the devices that the enemy employs upon us. We have the Word of God that is sharper that the two-edged sword and it pierces the soul. 

What a real gift that is to be known as spiritual daughters of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.We just have to pray steadfastly with a grateful heart and that nothing can ever define us except to how God sees us, a masterpiece!

Thank You Lord for reminding us that our life is identified with you first; and that you loved us first, unconditionally.

It never ceases to amaze me what a grander scale fellowshipping means spiritually--(1st night of the women's conference)Add caption

Here we go on the second night of the women's conference; same background and a more subtle/reserved smile.

Another special way of paying tribute to ourselves--enjoying one another's giftings
and callings with the Grace of God. (last day of the women's conference)

Just me and my good friend Senaida heading to check Jamie Lipe's music...Add caption

"The Most Beautiful Name, Jesus, The King of Kings and Lord of Lords"

The Name of Jesus...
The most beautiful name
The most powerful name
The most wonderful name
Nothing compares to this name
The name above all names
That name is Jesus Christ, my King!


          It was New Years' Eve during Kenneth's Copeland's service when I first heard this song. I just know that it's the kind of music video I want to share on my blog for the New Year.
I pray that this song will gain entrance even just at the door to your heart. Once that happens, its glorious power breaks all silence and you want to proclaim and begin to shout and Praise His name in Worship.

So I have shut down my craving to watch Netflix movies and other television dramas & shows that feed my carnal soul. It is hard to fast from such a craving in the flesh but I won't have it any other way. For I see the difference. I have more time to spend cooking dinner and more time listening to the Word of God. It is true that what you feed yourself and what you surround yourself with show what's your truth. And believe me, it's not easy not to watch a classic movie or Award ceremonies & etc. Also, had cut off my trips to the department stores where I literally buy every markdown clearance. Not eating cakes, chocolates, pies and candies for 21 days is the hardest. However, God has been mindful of what I'm doing. He sees my soul. That I'm trying hard not to fall into temptation. It feels good though to breakthrough from the wrong things or desires.
I praise God for hanging out with me through all of these...

 At the end of our corporate Fast at my Church, I know my reward is greater--that is, my faith in what he did and finished/completed at Calvary Cross more than two thousand years ago is at the very heart of who I am...Redeemed.

Love all of you that inspires me to write, share and create beautiful moments with you especially this year, 2017!

"Happy New Year; 2017"

New Year's Eve for me was a precursor to what I would love to continue doing and more to it for the rest of my 2017.
Yesterday morning, I and my good friend Senaida and sister in Christ went to IHop for breakfast. Sometimes it's just so good to be spontaneous, going with your gut feeling with the right friend. The place was packed with families and friends eating breakfast together. For me that's a very good sight to enthrone in your heart...
As always, I and my friend had a fabulous time talking about our families, about God, sharing scriptures that are most relevant in our lives. It felt like there's more freedom within to express our Christian beliefs now that we have Pres. elect Donald Trump and his new administration that embraces life and promises to make America great again. I believe that as long as he keeps seeking wisdom from our Almighty God.
After breakfast, I went for a run at the park for 2.5 miles then vacuum the inside of my car and power- washed it. Again, the car- wash place was packed. Still I felt that surge of strength continuing to emanate from me that I still had so much strength to clean my house; put everything in place. Praise God for good health!
In the evening, I went with Senaida and her baby grandson for a prayer at Faithpoint church. It was a very Blessed evening. Thanking that husband and wife team who prayed for our petitions to go to the throne of God. 
Watching Kenneth Copeland and hearing him preach the Word of God at the comfort of my home with Zenny and Jayden was a threshold while awaiting for the countdown.

I pray for consistency, deliverance from things that are not pleasing to God, be more obedient to the Holy Spirit's promptings and be a better ambassador and a vessel for His kingdom.
Our lives are fleeting; we are not promised of tomorrow but only Today we can choose Him to be our personal Savior and Lord of our life. 

Happy Happy New Year Everyone! I pray that 2007 is the year for sowing and reaping the benefits of Obedience.
Shalom
