Are your choices affecting you?

I became a nurse because I knew as a foreigner I will be guaranteed a job. It was not what God had planned for me. I did not seek his will. Yet, it was a popular field amongst those I met when I first travelled abroad. 

( you are the choices you make)

You see, I made a choice to be a nurse out of my will. I loved working as a nurse but I don't miss working the night shifts. 

May all the night shifters be blessed as you show your patients the love Christ has for them.

I made a decision to stop working nights because it did not work for my family. Talk about stress :)! I had to quit after our second baby. This was our choice to reduce stress and safe our marriage.

Most people do not realize we are the choices we make. God has given us the free will to have control over our life. He can't force us to obey them. Our choices will not only affect us but others.

But, if you choose to obey him, there are blessings. God has a perfect plan for all but, we have a choice to seek him.

Are you walking in God's perfect plan for you?

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NIV)

Are your decisions blessing or cursing you? It is your choice.

Remember that all the blessings of God are good. God does not bring about human suffering to teach us. (This is a lie from the father of all lies.)

Christ suffered already for us on the cross.

Our choices due to lack of knowledge bring about suffering to us .When we take them to God, he turns them for our good, because he hates suffering.

The enemy takes advantage of our lack of knowledge and attacks us. Always, remember that the enemy has already been defeated by God.

It is our ignorant coorperation with the enemy that brings about suffering.( death, illness, pain, anything bad is not of  God). He came that we may have life and have it abundantly.( this is an absolute truth) Christ took all these away on the cross two thousand years ago.

Our struggle is with the enemy, and the only way we can defeat him is through the authority of the living word of God.

We use God's word to pray. Get in the word and know it by heart. Use it at all times as you pray without ceasing.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. (Ephesians 6:11, 16 NIV)

42 and Pregnant! Yes! Glory Alleluia!

  Hello there, It’s been a while!   How are you doing? I pray this finds you in good health and a happy state of mind. If not, cast all your cares to Jesus, he wants you to do life with him. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since the last time we communicated. We all went through the pandemic. What a crazy season that was. I was talking to my husband the other day and truly felt God gave us a jubilee year(a year of rest), to restate and refocus. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it for good. I know many of us lost loved ones which is very disheartening. May the memories with them always bring us joy when we think of them. They are gone but never forgotten. They’ve become our cloud of witnesses if they died in Christ right? In my last communication with you I shared about the behind the scenes of every picture. What we see is really not what may be going on although pictures are worth a thousand words. If you did not read that post I encou...

How I met Prince Charming!

Image
Everyone has a story of how they met their Prince Charming. Yours maybe be more exciting than others. Or maybe, more awkward than others. Well, let me give you a chance to make the judgment in my situation. January 2007 was when it all started in South Bend Indiana. For those of you who don't know, January is the coldest, snowiest month of the year with icy roads. As the weather forecaster always says, "if you have no reason to be outside, stay indoors." For several years, I made it a habit to journal  important events in my life . Specifically, to look back with a thankful heart and see what lies ahead of me.                                   (we are no ordinary couple, we have a supernatural deliverer, Jesus Christ.)   January 30th is a big deal in my little world. As I sat alone in my empty apartment, I could hear the echo's of my breath. Usually, waiting to receive a call f...

A Mother's Bond

The connection we have with our children  is very powerful. The bond can not be broken. It is a love like no other. A love that speaks from the heart with a very powerful intuition. God made us carry them in our bodies for almost 10 months. This pregnancy process is a bonding mystery. Feeling the baby move and it can actually respond when you talk to them. I remember my babies giving me kicks of assurance when I asked if they are ok in there. What a magical feeling it is. The bonding continuous as we hear the first cry that pierces our hearts, nursing them, waking up at night and going through days with very limited sleep. Stirring at them to see if we'll see a body part actuall grow instantly. All the smiles and crying only builds up a stronger bond etc. We get soo attached to them that even leaving them home with our husbands is scary. Yet, we have to trust God and pray that we meet them alive when we return. I realized that this mother child bond is the same way God wants us to ...
