Time With The Lord
Take this dove of peace to your website. Let it fly around the world.
Most of what will be on this page is straight from my heart
, my own experiences, my spiritual walk. I like to use my
"Woman, thou are loosed" Bible (edited by T.D. Jakes) because
every page has a very insightful quote, called a gospel pearl.
God has proven Himself over and over in my life.
I hung on to His promises when many times I had nothing else to hang on to.
I trusted Him and He never forsook me. When I asked Jesus
to come into my life He did. Freely, He gave me His gift
of salvation. I believe that Jesus, the only son of God,
hung on that cross for me and you at Calvary. I know in
the deepest part of my being that He will come again for
those who love Him and believe in Him. I know He will never
leave me. JOHN 15:4 says "Abide in me and I will abide in you."
I know that anything I must go through in my life time, He will be with me.
That is His promise to me as His child. He loves us more than
any other being could ever love us.

I grew up Catholic. But not very strict. I always liked attending church, but my parents
hardly ever went with us. My sister and I used to go, but as we got older,
she didn't want to go anymore. As wonderful as my dear parents were, they were just not much
on church going. I always felt something was missing.
After I married, in the Catholic church, I
started going a lot. Searching. Wondering. I was thirsty and didn't know how to quench it.
I know that there are many Catholics that are doing great in their Christian walk. This is
not a slight against the Catholic church. It is just that God in His infinite wisdom, had
other plans for me.
I had never owned a bible of my own, but used to
spend hours looking at my sister's big bible full of beautiful pictures. But I never read it much.
So, in 1978 or so , I bought myself a bible of my own. I still have
that first little bible.
I couldn't understand some things and felt I needed some kind of study,
but didn't know where to turn. One day I received a bible study through the mail.
It was questions that could be answered after reading certain scripture. So I did it and mailed
it back. I received quite a few more, and really enjoyed it.
I was finally studying the
Bible. And it felt wonderful to read God's word and to get to know Him this way.
But still something lacked. God was moving and working things out.
I was planning on taking on one
or two children to baby-sit, and was going to put an ad in the paper. Before I
got my ad in, I received a phone call from a lady who told me that she
was in a store and had mentioned she needed a sitter. The clerk knew me and told
her to call me. She did, and the very next day I started taking care of their
2 little girls. That lasted about 4 years, and then they eventually moved back to north Louisiana.
But, during that time, she told me about the church they attended. I visited, and really felt
good there. My children enjoyed Sunday school. And I even taught Sunday school for a few years.
To this day I am still a member of Community Bible Church. The fellowship is wonderful.
I need to backtrack here a bit. God knew what I would be going through and
knew that I wouldn't be able to do it alone. Things were rocky in my marriage,
and it looked bleak. God didn't choose to make things perfect at that time. He had so
much stuff to work out in me. It took years. But in the meantime, I prayed
that Jesus would forgive me for I knew that I was a sinner. I gave Him my
life and He has never let go. And He never will.
He has been my only
hope many times over the years. The strength I have now is from the tests and
the trials He allowed me to go through. My faith in Him and my love for Him
is stronger now than it ever was. If you have never given it all to Jesus,
friend, let me challenge you to do so. There is nothing , I mean nothing, that can even
come close to the awesome love and fellowship He gives. One of my favorite scriptures is
Proverbs 3: 5&6. "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your
own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."
I hung on to this promise through rough times in our marriage, with my children,
illnesses and just plain daily struggles.
He is my everything. Without Him I have nothing.
I thank Him for all that I have and for all that I am. And I thank
Him at this time, for the wonderful friends He has set before me.
This is a precious story
A little boy is telling his Grandma how everything
is going wrong. School, family problems, severe health
problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake.
She asks the child if he would like a snack, which
of course he does. "Here, have some cooking oil."
"Yuck" says the boy. "How about a couple raw eggs?"
"Gross," he says. Grandma asked, "Would you like some
flour, then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Grandma, those
are all yucky!" To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all
those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they
are put together in the right way, they make a wonder-
fully delicious cake!" God works the same way. Many
times we wonder why He would let us go through such
bad and difficult times. But He knows that when He puts
these things all in 'His' order, they will always work
for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually,
they will all make......"Something Wonderful!"
**ROMANS 8:28**
"Be careful how you live...you may be the only Bible some people read."
"The secret to enjoying life is to be thankful for what each day brings."
"To be willing to do anything does not mean God expects you to do everything."
"To be spiritually fed, go to church with a good appetite, not a bad attitude."
...We should pray as we breathe, always...

Do you really believe that Mary can give you anything? Do you really think that Mary can soften up Jesus to be nice to you, as if the Lord isn't gentle and sweet to begin with? Do you really think that God is impressed with chanting a dead Rosary? If you do, I feel sorry for you because the Devil has blinded you (2nd Corinthians 4:3-4). My friend, religion if often used by Satan as a substitute for the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Kaballah is a substitute for the Gospel. Evolution is a substitute for the Biblical account of Creation. Billions of people throughout history have thought that good works could get them to Heaven, but they cannot. Isaiah 64:6 teaches that even our best human efforts are as worthless filthy menstrual rags in God's sight. God cannot be impressed with human effort. That's why Jesus Christ was sent into the world, to go to the cross to be crucified for OUR SINS!!! If we could earn or merit our way into Heaven, then why did Christ need to bleed and die?
Do you really believe that Mary has power in Heaven? If you do, can you show me even one single Bible verse to support your beliefs? No, you certainly cannot! Mary can give you nothing. Over one billion Roman Catholics have been sold a lie by the Devil that Mary can influence God, to their personal benefit here on earth. Yet the Bible plainly teaches in 1st Timothy 2:5-6, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” Did you read that? There is only ONE MEDIATOR between God the Father and men, and that Mediator is the Son of God, JESUS CHRIST!!!
