We Will Always Be Waiting...

 

We will always be waiting...

Winter always seems longer, when

Spring is right around the corner!

Are you a person who waits with peace and joy?

Have you developed the power of stillness?

"Be still and know that I am God"

Psalm 46:10

Every single day you will have the opportunity

to be patient and still, and to wait...

Waiting is a tool I believe God uses in us too

form Christ in us!

There will be a long line in the grocery store.

You will wait in the doctor's office

You will wait for the pot to boil

You will wait for your first born to arrive

You will wait and wait and wait;

So why not take this God given time to allow Him

To perform a work in your heart!

We wait for every season to change.

We wait for a grandchild to be born.

We wait for a loved one to pass over to Glory.

We wait for pay day.

We wait for a doctor's report.

We wait for something every single day!

"I am waiting for the Lord's return"

~The truth is we can't really hurry up anything~

God's timing is perfect and aligns with everything.

"There is a place of stillness that allows God

the opportunity to work in us, "His perfect peace!"

The striving will wear you out!

Rest and relax in those times we must wait!

Is it easy?? No, but it will produce a silent power

And a submissive spirit within your character!

Allow God to direct all of your days, with patience

and trust!

I so appreciate this season and time of my life;

As I am growing with a few growing pains;

But it's like giving birth, so worth the pain!

Hugs and Blessings to each of you in all of your days!

Love, Roxy

Why You Must Keep Your Emotions In Check...

 

Emotions Unchecked

It's a mistake when we think we can let down our guard

and allow ourselves to be blah, crabby, blue

or just an emotional mess!

When I start my day, I can usually tell it's

going to be a push to get out from under a cloud.

It can be a feeling of just not being your chipper self!

I will tell myself...

Girl you better get dressed and put on your

"Garment Of Praise"

So I get busy getting focused and start praising the Lord;

I get my routine warmed up and take charge

~Seize The Day~

Our life in Christ has to be more intentional.

Our family and friends need to see us walking

with Jesus even with the worlds ups and downs.

Be filled daily with the Holy Spirit.

They need to hear positive, helpful wise words from us.

We are not supposed to be empty, cynical, callous

or complaining to those we love,

 Or those we barely know!

I will not take part in this plan to cause

myself to be upset or feeling low.

Because, there is a master plan for me and my life!

Shake it off

Sing

Be Beautiful

Love

Love is the root, good works are the fruit!

Let us consider one another in order to stir up

Love and Good works!

Hebrews 10:24

Lord, Keep me from speaking empty, ungrateful

faithless words...

I so appreciate each and everyone of you that

stops in to read what the Lord has laid on my heart!

I want to be faithful and to love and

encourage others!

I do tell myself once in awhile, I realize I'm

not everybodies cup of tea!

~Orange trees don't have really deep roots,

But typically they can spread far out past the canopy!

Bear much fruit and cover a lot of ground~

From Ashes We Came...

From Ashes We Came

Lyrics: Forty Days (From Ashes We Came) Forty days You wandered through the desert bleak Forty days You withstood temptation Forty days You wrestled, though the flesh be weak You kept the faith for our salvation Lord, we follow You Lead us in your ways Lord, we follow You Guide us on, we pray Forty days we pray, for strength to keep the fast Forty days we walk in Your grace Forty days we wait, till Easter comes at last And we see the glory of Your face [Repeat Chorus] From ashes we came To ashes we return Blessed be the name of the Lord From dust we came To dust we return Blessed be the name of the Lord © Stacey Plays Hymns 2025

This is a song we heard in our Church last night

It was such a powerful blessing!

This might be a sweet way to start each morning with

during this time of the 40 days before Resurrection day!

Fault Finding...

 

Fault Finding

"It starts with a little irritation"

And if you don't act quickly and change the direction of

 that irritation it will turn into a full blown battle.

We are told to take every thought captive.

Our thoughts are either under the control of the

Goodness and Mercy of the Lord.

Or the god of this world.

Now, I know we all can say something stupid,

This happens when we open our mouths

 and speak before we think!

Heck, we all even repeat ourselves.

Or the irritation starts when a person is telling us

the same old story again and again.

What I am wanting to be aware of these annoyances that

they can turn us quickly into a fault-finding mode.

Alas, then a snarky tone arises in your voice,

 then the looks start;

Maybe the eyeballs start rolling

(Inconspicuously of course)

Inside your head your thinking

What, I don't have time for this or not again!

But these situations are actually being used to refine you!

And to teach us Mercy and Grace...

And not being a faultfinding person.

I do not want to be an impatient person

Or an ungodly fact checker;

And may I ask who is going to monitor the monitor?

Ask yourself am I showing no Grace for shortcomings?

Maybe you're in the habit of thinking that my way is always right?

Or the way I do it is the right way!

Can satan hack into our thoughts like a cyberpirate?

I do think he tries to plant things in our thoughts;

That is why we must put barbed wire around

our thinking and our thoughts!!

Don't be a fault finder or an all knowing fact checker...

Jesus said come to me!

So quickly take the time to ask Jesus's to help you

 Overcome this unloving behavior.

Lord set a guard over my mouth and the law of kindness

upon my lips. 

And a covering over my thoughts.

As Always, Living From Glory To Glory

Collecting Happy Memories...

 

Making Memories

One thing I have been keenly aware of is what your mind

can remember from days gone by!

Many days have come and gone, but there may be a little

moment that was just imprinted upon your heart.

And this can be drawn out by a song you hear on the radio.

Or an aroma that reminds you of a special occasion.

I have found as I have gotten older, I have recalled memories

of my childhood that I have never remembered before.

But, just maybe we can learn to savor a moment and tuck away

A memory that will last for all of our days!

Is there some special trick in collecting these memories?

Maybe not, but just taking a breath and soaking in

the sunshine on your face or holding a moment close

to your heart and ask God to help you capture and remember

the day or the one thing that made you happy.

My new hobby will be collecting happy memories...

Blessings, Roxy

You Can Create A Loving Atmosphere In Your Home...

 

Love Atmosphere...

We have a supernatural ability to create;

And one of the most important spheres of influence you have

To create a little bit of heaven on earth is in your Home!

We are called to be homekeeprs.

Your home could be spotless, but if theirs contention,

And unkindness and what I just call ATTITUDE

You now have an atmosphere of strife and unease.

We must always be mindful to work on a sweet presence

About just caring and showing interest in those we have been

given to share our lives with!

I think there is a real power behind a relationship

That sense that they are loved and cared for in ways

They just speak volumes, and it's not always in words.

Being tender with others as we are with a newborn baby!

There is enough harshness in this world;

So by setting your mind to always do what you can do,

To have a HOME, filled with LOVE...

LOVE ATMOSPHERE=

Freshly baked cookies

A little note to say how special they are

Taking a walk together

A clean space to read or study

Get off your phone when they get home

Have a plan for a meal

Don't be rude

Speak in a tone that does not cause anger

Choose words that don't accuse

Choose to release a blessing upon them

Rest in God's timing

Don't be a bulldozer

Share the last piece of cake

Your lips are connected to your heart

Listen

Love is the most precious human emotions and is truly

the gem that shines the brightest.

And love is the glue that holds the HOME together!

Blessings, Roxy

Mundane Duties Or Loyal Duty...

Being a Good Steward

How do you feel about Monday's?

For some reason it seems a bit harder to get the

body moving and the motivation working.

But maybe I need to look at it a bit differently;

Like I've been given a chance for a new start!

I really don't want to drag my feet and become a whiner!

I need to look at this day and realize I have been given

A mandate that I am responsible for!

I have to ask myself, 

Am I being a good steward of my time?

Am I being Loyal at heart?

I want to use my talents and my skills to bring

Glory to God...

We can become discouraged by what we might call

Mundane duties in our days.

But really think about it,

Are having clean dishes or clean clothes,

Or looking clean and smelling nice not important!?

Or preparing meals that bless and nourish the body and soul!

The Word and good food will bless the Soul!

We have been under a curse of the lie

Nothing Matters;

Well, let me tell you that all you do does matter!!

And everything you do can change the world

And bring Glory to God.

~True faithfulness regards nothing as small or unimportant~

They want us to feel uninspired and to look like freaks.

Don't nibble the bait, spew it out of your mouth.

Shake off the heaviness of the lies.

Rejoice and just get moving...

Because tomorrow is always just a day away!

Hugs, Roxy
