Good morning. What a great day yesterday. Got some of that amazing brown delicious get up and get going juice, water the lawn and off to the lake. Well, it didn’t go as great as I felt it may have. Wave runner ran great for a total of 4 minutes and then wouldn’t get over 5 mph. Parked it, had a sandwich, with extra beach sand, and some chips, you know the lunch of Champions. Got in the water and for a season, felt like a kid again. You know another thing, had to take 2 phone calls, and a few pictures. But NO SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!! Thank You Jesus.
Let all bitterness and anger and wrath and shouting and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Ephesians 4:31
With so many social media platforms today, people can express their negative opinions about you so easily and say things that are insulting, disrespectful, and rude. Thing is the only power that has, is the power you give it. If you let what flows from others bitterness, or anger get in you, and if you dwell on it, that will poison your spirit. Sad part is, over time it can change who you are. You’ll become defensive and waste your time trying to prove to people that you’re okay, that you’re not what they said. That’s giving them your power. Don’t pay attention to what they’re saying. Quit looking at the negative comments. Don’t get drawn into a battle that you’re not supposed to be in. Don’t let their gossip, jealousy, or any criticism steal your joy. Don’t give it the time of day, ignore it and move forward. Keep doing the right thing, and God will deal with the attackers. Stay focused on your goals, your dreams, and most importantly, fulfilling the destiny God has for you. If you shut the phone down for a while, you will still live, I promise you that. Remember Who Loves Ya.

Rise and shine you magnificent little meatball. I hope you are ready to roll into this day with a full load of BBQ Sauce. Why? CAUSE IT’S THE WEEKEND! Today has got your name on it in great big sparkly letters, now that you’ve tumbled out of that snuggle saddle, go polish those chompers, and sizzle into this day like the saucy superstar that you are!
But by the grace of God, I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10
There are many people who are talented and have had God’s favor, but sometimes they get distracted by what someone says negatively about them, maybe bitter over something, and try to prove they are not what was said. Because they didn’t let go of an offense, they become defensive, harsh, and critical. If you hold on to this kind of offense, it may begin to change who you are. But if you’re like Paul and know who God has made you to be by HIS GRACE, you are free to walk away from any insults and disrespect. You release the negative, walk by what God has done in your spirit, and keep moving forward. Is it easy? Ummmm not really, but God! Yes, But God!

God will never let you face situations that are too much for you to handle. The next time that you feel the need to get upset, offended, or even pay someone back, try a different approach. Try, I CAN HANDLE THIS! I have the grace for where I am. I’m going to stay cool, remain calm, and let God fight my battles. When you do that, you’ll see His blessing, His favor, and His goodness on your life. So Remember Who Loves Ya.

Good morning. Well now you dangerous little campfire biscuits. Look at you, too blessed to be stressed, and too fine to be ignored. It’s beautiful outside, and that smile has got you making people forget what the heck they were doing. That strut’s got the whole room paying attention. So don’t you dare dial it down, crank it all the way up, come on its FRIDAY! Let the whole world know just exactly who just walked in! You are great! Have an amazing weekend.
So that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
I Corinthians 2:5
The Israelites were excited to go into the Promised Land, that is, until they heard the negative report that there were giants and defended cities to overcome. Before you see dreams come to pass, before you see healing, advancement, and renewal, don’t be surprised if you face obstacles, disappointments, and setbacks that maybe, look too big. Are you going to get discouraged and settle where you are just like the Israelites did, or will you have FAITH in the power of God? What you face may be more powerful than you, but it’s not more powerful than God. He’s still in control. This is not the time to start complaining, not the time to give up, and NOT the time to turn around. This is the time to show God what you’re made of. In the face of any kind of bad report that hasn’t improved, I dare you to say, I STILL BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF GOD. Whatever form this giant takes, you have to say like Paul, NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME. You do your part, and God will bring the giants in your life down. Remember Who Loves Ya.

Good morning all you World changers. You may have forgotten, but you have conquered every single worst day of your life So far! Every single one. So be happy and be hopeful, STAY HUMBLE! That’s not luck, that’s called strength. So, when you feel yourself dragging, roll back that film and remember you have already slain dragons.
But He gives a greater grace. Therefore, it says, God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6
So, it seems, carrying burdens is something that we are built for, and something that we are supposed to do, as men and women. God designed us, built us, intends us, to lend our strength to others, to those who need it. Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians, right? The problem is, most of us read Scripture one way only! Kind of like, that we are to carry burdens for others. Few read it the other way, that we must allow others to carry OUR burdens too. We don’t really like that kind of reading. That reading causes our pride to well, you know, stand up on the back of neck like an old Grizz. (OK, that may have been a bit harsh)

Like it or not, though, any one of us can carry only so much. Sure, we can gut it out with burdens that seem too heavy, for a while, at least. But before long, they begin to grind us down. Anger, anxiety, burnout, depression and sadness, and even loneliness, how about rebellion and offense begin, simply because we’re not designed, or built, or intended to carry our burdens alone. Our pride will bring him low. Proverbs 29:23. So with this Know God loves to give A FREE GIFT OF GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. Remember Who Loves Ya.

Good morning. This is the day that the Lord has made, let us Rejoice and be GLAD in it! It’s only 1 page, please read with an open mind and be glad, even rejoice;-)
1 Corinthians 2:2-4 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my word and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
A friend of mine got to go to the cities Paul walked and preached, and yes, I was a bit envious but love the fact he got to go. I’ve tried to imagine what it would have been like to go to Corinth or other Greek cities at the time of Paul and try to speak to those wise, brilliant thinkers.
We don’t know what Paul did, but his answer is astounding. Instead of going after them with great sharp logic, he went in exactly the opposite direction. He stayed in Corinth a year and a half or so, and many came to Christ because of him. Later, when he wrote 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. That’s amazing. If any man had the ability to reason with those Greeks and could show them the mistakes of their logic, surely it was Paul. But, being led by the Holy Spirit, he chose a more vulnerable way to let God speak through him and touch the hearts of the people. Now, centuries later, I appreciate his approach, even in other things besides the ministry, although I didn’t always feel this way. For a long time, I wanted to explain and reason out everything, but when that didn’t work, I ended up feeling miserable. Then God began a work in my life. He showed me that my drive to figure it out caused confusion and prevented me from receiving many of the things He wanted me to have.
I wanted to be in control of every detail of every situation. I felt out of control. And that was weird to me. Sometimes, frustrated and exhausted, I would just give up. It was a battle for me because I finally admitted something to myself It was more than a desire to figure out things. I had to have answers and had to have them right now. It wasn’t easy. I felt lost, even alone. I had always depended on my ability to figure things out. Now, like Paul, I had to depend on God.
Too many people assume that relying only on God is something we do naturally. It didn’t work that way with me. But God was patient with me. It was as if He’d whisper, you’re not there yet, but you’re making progress. It’s uncomfortable because you’re learning a new way to live. God wants us to be victorious, now we can walk in greater victory than ever before. Remember Who Loves Ya.
