Have the faith in God of a true follower and Prince/ss. Lead others to do the same.

Why can't I remember the wonder of life? Why can't I remember that as the song goes...one day you're gonna miss this...? I don't want to be remembered as a stale 'do this, do that ' wife/mother/daughter/sister. I don't want to look back at life wishing I had played more, danced more, sang more, laughed more. What's wrong with doing all those things everyday anyway?

Today has been a struggle. The enemy has come at me trying to make me doubt the love of others. He has tried to cause me to think that I'm being lied to, that I'm going to be left, that it's 'all a game'.

Seek the Lord and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His Presence forevermore (Psalm 105:4).

How do you get a honorable life? Live your life honorably?

You have been planted in fertile ground beside a broad river, where you will grow as quickly as a willow tree (Ezekiel 17:5). Your roots shall be remarkable for their toughness, size, and tenacity to live, and your roots shall readily sprout. Like a newborn baby, you shall crave the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow into completed salvation (I Peter 2:2).

Strive to be one who does not offend in speech, for when you're able to do so, your character will be fully developed, and you'll be able to control your whole body and to curb your entire nature (James 3:2).

Whatever gifts and talents God gives you, use them for the lifting and encouraging of others. Bless others. Whatever your hand can find to do, do it all for His glory and to the service of others. This will draw them to Him, which is His greatest desire for all people - reconciliation with Him (I Peter 4:10)....

If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world (no longer one with it), but God has chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates you (John 15:19).

God foreordained you (destined you, planned in love for you) to be adopted (revealed) as His own child through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will because it pleased Him and was His kind intent...

Those who belong to Christ Jesus, have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites and desires (Galatians 5:23,24)....

I had been stuck in those walls for 7 days. I did not realize how stifling it really was until I felt the fresh breeze upon me. How many other walls do I have myself stuck in? What sins have me stuck? What preconceived thoughts do I have that others do not even think about me, but I think they do? What lies am I believing?

Does it make sense to keep nursing on a blanket when you're too old for such things? Does it make sense to stay in the dark and stumble all around when you could be in the Light and walk a straight path? Does it make sense to find comfort and peace in things that only harm you? Does it make sense to follow after people who are only for themselves and not truly for you?

God cherishes you greatly and He is waiting for you to run after Him and receive His love for you, so you can make sure others know His love, too.

Not only be attentive to God, but obey His directions. And, you will be blessed in mighty ways.

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And, God's peace will mount guard over your heart ...

The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop the works and deeds of darkness and put on the full armor of light. Live and conduct yourself honorably, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy...
