 Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Do you want to keep living the life you have been or are you ready for something better? To get something different you have to do something different. Make a plan right now and then START living it! You are here for a purpose. What a shame it would be if you never fulfil your purpose because you never got out of the mud puddle you are in now. Joy and happiness are waiting for you at the other end!  Start NOW!

  Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Isaiah43:18-19 NIV

  I’m the only Savior there is. I spoke, I saved, I told you what existed long before these upstart gods appeared on the scene. And you know it, you’re my witnesses, you’re the evidence .”  God ’s Decree. “Yes, I am God. I’ve always been God and I always will be God. No one can take anything from me. I make; who can unmake it?” Isaiah 43:11-13

  When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end— Because I am  God , your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: That’s  how much you mean to me! That’s  how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you. Most of Isaiah 43:2-4 MSG 

 You find what you look for. Even if someone or something is good, you can find bad if that's what you look for. If you expect to find discrimination you find it. If you expect to find a friend you find that. Sometimes we project our prejudice on to others.  Be careful what you look for.

 If you really want to save the earth start with the trash inside you.

 "Use me Lord God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, what I want to do and use it for a purpose greater than myself."      MLK

 Confessing Our Sin Most of the time I ask for forgiveness for all my sin. I don't specify the sin. I have a habit of shorting things I guess for time sake. I was reading 1 John 1:9 and saw the verse that says "If we confess our sins" and it hit me that unless I point out what sins I commit I am not taking ownership of them and not realizing what my sins are so I can correct them. I should be more aware of my sins. I should be more guarded and prepared to make corrections. I will confess my sins individually so I know my weaknesses. I am so thankfull that if I do this I will be forgiven!

 1 John 3:16 NIV 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.  17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?  18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

  Your pain will pass Praying for those of you who are in pain today. It's hard to live with pain every day. It changes your personality, mood and outlook on life. I lived with pain everyday for seven years. I prayed and prayed for relief for years with no change. Pain can be physical or mental. It all changes you in the same way. I learned that just because I am a Christian I am not immune to pain. One day I woke up and climbed out of bed. I noticed that it did not hurt this time. As I went through the day I kept waiting for the pain to start but it never came. I have been pain free ever since. If you are going through some kind of pain, don't give up! Miracles can and will happen. Start thanking God right now for the relief that's coming. Four hundred fifty two times it says in the Bible "It came to pass". Your pain will pass.
