"You'll be a vision in turquoise with this perfect pairing. Gold and turquoise tones join together for the ultimate boho chic."

Blessed in all of this.

In the middle of the night, I woke up with this scripture on my mind:

Roman 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

Sometimes things and events play out so hard and cold in our lives, we can't see how it could ever be for our good....

I walked away from my job as a New York City Train Conductor in 2002. After eight years of a relentless, tortuous mess of a job, co-workers and atmosphere, Father God said, "Let's go". I left with no other apparent means of income and was met with puzzling looks from a suspicious Dad and a worried son. The decision to leave that job played out in some very precarious situations, from a stay with a deceitful relative to time in a homeless shelter.

I've learned a lot of VERY IMPORTANT THINGS I would have NEVER learned, had I'd stayed and retired with New York City Transit. The strong and courageous woman that smiles back at me in the mirror every morning, would never have been "born." Giving up that job was devastating, but I'm yet to know and reap the GOLD, as a result of calling out sick and never returning to work as a train conductor.


Believe scripture. If you struggle with putting your whole heart into trusting the Word...pray and ask Father to help you. Amen

Dear Heavenly Father,

I know you are glorified in my present situation. I live on a daily, minute to minute, basis with demonic evil. "Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause...." (1) But, because you are Lord, I go to bed every night in peace and tranquility and awake each day to a new and refreshed hope! Even with this evil presence, I am growing into a woman you can use.

I love the tasks you give me and the people connected to these tasks. I hate the constant chatter of this SAVAGE. But through the noise, I have added beauty to the world, as You have called us to do. "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes" (2) And, now, I must beg you, Heavenly Father.....take this evil from me. Be satisfied with how I am conducting myself, in Jesus' name, and take this from me.

"I have done judgement and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. (3)


Amen~ I love you.

The Peaceful Years~ A Birthday Praise

Father can give you the Peaceful Years at any time of your life- be you 25 or 85. They usually come after years of unrelenting turbulence, trials and tests. On this July 31st, my birthday, I will begin the Peaceful Years in Jesus' name. In these years, I will be immersed in "green pastures and still waters."

I will learn many things and open new areas of existence with the excitement of a little girl opening gifts on Christmas Eve.The things I already know will be honed and enhanced by the Holy Spirit for kingdom building and Kingdom giving.

 One could call the onset of the Peaceful Years a breakthrough....God's light "breaking" a hole in a wall of darkness and upheaval. No longer being tossed from pillar to post, I will be stable, being able to "dig in" and take root for the first time since leaving my parent's home some 40 years ago.

My relationships will reflect the love and favor of Jehovah Jireh..."Ports in a storm." A small circle of comrades, workmates and sweethearts coming together to love and to be loved.

Peace. Yes, I am ready for these years to overtake me like an ocean wave in the 12th hour....
Heal me.

True Story.

It was already 10 AM. Church service was to start in just a couple of hours. If I was still living in Brooklyn, where the church was located, I wouldn't have had a need to fret. But since moving to Queens, I was a bus AND subway trip away!
As soon as I leave the house, I'm dreading the mile walk to the bus stop. In my Sunday best, heels and all, the walk appears to have doubled in length. I finally make it to the bus stop. I check my watch and it's 10:45...no bus in sight and I still have to get on the subway.

This particular bus stop is by a major highway and the cars are whizzing by at a very fast pace. I happen to be the only one waiting and I start to sweat after seeing my watch is reading 11:30! Now I'm truly frantic and I start pacing the sidewalk. I'm about to "bug" out when all of a sudden a car slows and pulls up beside me. Inside the car is a woman at the wheel and three children in the back seat. She calls me over.

"Miss, could you tell me if I'm going in the right direction for L.F.T. Church?"

I was absolutely stunned by her question because that's the church where I was going! I replied, "Matter of  fact, you are headed in the right direction...may I get a ride with you?"

She scooted the children over, I hopped in the back seat and we were off to church. We made it in time, too!

Father had sent angels to come to my rescue. Oh, yes she had some logical excuse as to why she was on that unfamiliar highway. A parade had caused her to detour. But I know, the Father was telling me,"I will always help you. I will never forsake you.....

Standing Tall: Embrace a Poised and Confident You!

When you walk into a room, your posture speaks before you utter one word! If you are slouched, it translates as one who is powerless and unsure. If your shoulders are pulled back, chest out, you exude self-confidence!
It's never too late to correct your posture, aligning your spine, with minimum investment, time and anxiety!

"An appointment with Ardyss International will change your life!"

Sometimes we know certain people in our lives are toxic, but we hang on to them anyway. They're comfortable, we have history with them, etc.
But once you "lighten the load", a brightness will open up in your life. New opportunities present themselves....the possibilities for love, money and liaisons that will uplift, are limitless!

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!\O/ and HAPPY APRIL 1st
Stay in the light ♥ FAMILY

P o e m

jetting over dry land

rivers of waters wait for me

I'm on my way to a "dream come true."

       (Later that day)

The flight was chilly

But I'm warm, now

embrace in embrace, He carries the sun in His touch...

Landed.

Tell them, "I Care!"

Susie was happy to get her cologne from an e-company she’d ordered from, some weeks ago. The cologne was delightful, but a few samples of their different fragrances, would have been a nice inclusion. Maybe she would have made an additional purchase with them.

What do you include in your out-going packages to customers, beside the item they’ve ordered? Do you think your customer deserves a treat along with their purchase? To have happy customers who will return, time and again, include a complimentary  element in their package. How about a coupon for dollars off their next purchase? How about a movie ticket good for a showing at their neighborhood theatre? Include a handwritten thank-you note or a club card that would enable them to buy one, get one free!

Customers are the “lifeblood” of any company. Show them that you appreciate their business and include a gratitude token in your out-going customer orders!

Spring WinD........

When making big decisions, that will affect not ONLY your life but the lives of MANY, take ample time to investigate all of your options!

GOOD MORNING!!!!!\O/

Don't rush into any huge endeavors! Be it financial or social..A hasty decision will cost you in the long run! Investigate, then move forward doing what is good for the whole!
HAPPY FRIDAY...stay in the light ♥

Fffffffff (blowing)

I hung the silvery wind chime on the shower curtain pole.
"But there's no wind blowing in the bathroom", he said

Sometimes we are asked to be magnificent in places that are not celebrating our presence.
On occasion, there WON'T be a breeze urging our chimes,
                                                                        our voices, to clamor, but we must still speak,

still be eloquent

still be beautiful...

"So, YOU, blow on it", I replied......

How many times should you start over?

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!! \O/

Sometimes beginning again, takes all the vigor you can muster. But it's worth it to dig deep for the energy and courage to start over. If you don't start over, as many times as it takes, how can Father finish what He has started in you?

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" Philippians 1:6

Have a wonderful week..Stay in the light!

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful."

Happy Saturday! Stay in the light.....
