Recieving Compliments

To give someone a compliment is nice, But what really gets me going is when you give a compliment and they don't except it or put themselves down. For instance (true story) conversation with a pregnant woman... Wow, you look Amazing, Beautiful, you got the whole pregnant glow and all!! Really, well I feel like a beached whale, with all this weight I've gained, I can't fit anything! Oh! OK, I thought that's what you're supposed to do when you become pregnant, right?  I want a baby and I'm happy, but not the weight gain, feeling miserable, and unlike myself. OK this is where I wanted to just blow up and go off!! I didn't of course, you know with all the pregnant hormones I felt it was best not to say a word (if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, Right!). I walked away with this thought (or thoughts). First, you have been blessed to carry life inside of you, A Miracle!!! A lot of women would love, and have died to be in your position, women who can't have children, women who can't get pregnant, women who get pregnant but don't make it pass the first trimester, and women who have been pregnant, gave birth, but left the hospital childless. These women would love to hear a compliment like I just gave you. When you get pregnant you're suppose to gain weight, feel sick, grow in ways you never thought possible, and not fit into any of your clothes. It's called BEING PREGNANT!! So when someone gives you a compliment of how beautiful you are, or say wow; you got that glow.....roll with or simply say Thanks! 
p.s. No matter what you think you look like, remember Our Father is Enthralled with our beauty!!
Psalm 45:11
Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.

Yes, I think I like the sound of that a little to much!! So, now.....hmmmm.......oh well maybe Ill have something tomorrow, or just whenever!!!!

In The Valley

  I once heard a wise woman say, "a relationship with Christ is built in the valley and not on the mountain top", I truly believe this. It is here that the Lord walks with you, and here where He begins to prune you for what's next. I didn't truly understand this until a few weeks back when I was going through something in my life. Right there in the valley I stood thinking I was all alone, when indeed I wasn't . Psalm 91:1(NLT) "Those who live in the shelter of the MOST HIGH will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty." Well I can truly say I wasn't living in that shelter. I was so focused on my circumstances I couldn't see my own two feet. I thought I was strong enough to carry/ handle my circumstances!! HAHAHAHA boy was I ever wrong! I needed to give my burdens to Jesus, let Him have it. Matthew 11:28(CEB) "Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy load, and I will give you rest." For a couple weeks during th...

Daughter of a King

Daughter of a King What did you just say? Oh, that’s what you think of me? I almost fell into that pack of lies. But contrary to what you think or say, let me explain to you just who I am….. I am a daughter of a King, the King of Kings, My Daddy!!   My Daddy tells me I am a new creation; redeemed, called, clothe in righteousness, an heir, no longer dead, made alive, no longer lost, found, no longer blind, the veil removed, no longer bound, unchained, free, Holy and blameless, forgiven, but most of all I am LOVED!   I could listen and believe what you say, and some of it might even have a slight bit of truth (my pass), but my Daddy doesn’t punish me for sins that Jesus already paid for in full. Besides, I much rather hear what my Daddy has to say. He speaks Truth!   I could go on and on about what my Daddy says about me but I think you get it. I know I do!   I know I AM A DAUGHTER of a KING!! Satan can deter our minds, distract us, accus...
