Please don't forget to turn down the play list at the bottom of my blog before starting the video.
My scripture for today that I wrote in my journal was:
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. Psalm 145:18

IT'S NOT ABOUT ME
Please turn down play list before watching this video. Join me in praising the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
This is one of the songs that was song today during Mass.
This was song while we received the Eucharist. I was so overcome I just bawled.

Don't forget to turn down play list at the bottom of the blog before starting video.
IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE CHRISTMAS
Don't forget to turn down the play list at the bottom of the blog before starting the video.
I know our American friends are not thinking of Christmas yet since they haven't had their Thanksgiving. Us Canadian's though are raring to goooooooooooooo!!!
Especially this family that has 4000 sq. ft. of lights still to put up. Yes you read correctly..4000 SQ. FEET!!
This is what it will look like once it is completed. Just imagine more lights though since Randy bought more on Boxing Day,,LOL.

A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS
Well the carpet is being laid today in Randan's new bedroom. This is Eddie. A dear friend of the family. Just last week he helped my dad lay hard wood floor at my parents house. Now he is here early this morning. I told him he is going to be famous. I'm putting him on the internet! lol
Here is my Daddy. He will be standing and doing NOTHING. Or sitting and doing nothing. He had gallbladder surgery a week ago. This morning he thought he could help lift the carpet to move it!~!!!!"YOU end up in the hospital Dad, no one is going to come and visit you. Got it!"
73 years old and build like the man of steel. I tell ya!!
Randan is the one that chose the colours for him room.
Blue for Toronto Maple Leaf's.
Orange for Calgary Flames.
They look nice together.
Mama has had a hard time trying not to control the 'decorating.'
I got to pick the carpet though. Thank God.
blessings everyone.

THE SECRETS WE KEEP
Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of My sight. Stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Isaiah 1:16-17a
"Lord, do I really have too? I already shared
VAIN AND A GLUTTON
"Do I have to say it again?"Encourage the oppressed Angela. Let them know they are not the only ones.
I felt the Lord speaking to my heart very early this morning to share how difficult those days were when I was walking in laziness and procrastination.
The Lord wanted me to share this 'secret' with you. Of course telling all of you through the internet will definitely NOT be a secret any longer, nor to those who live close by me and read my devotionals!
I shared in the devotional Vain and a Glutton how I had not bathed in quite a few days.
Well that definitely wasn't the one and only time.
I remember my girlfriend and I in Barrie discussing about our depression, our laziness and how we procrastinate in our daily lives.
"So when do you last bathe?"
How can I clean my house when I can't even clean my own body?
A dear sister in the Lord emailed me this comment:" I seemed to be in the minority with this struggle ."
I remember telling my girlfriend from Barrie:
"Sandy, there has to be someone out there that is dealing with the same issues as us. We are NOT the only ones Sis. Satan wants us to believe we are failures, that there is no one out there that struggles with these issues. It's a LIE."
Look at this picture.
Look at all those footprints.
When we look with spiritual eyes, we will see others that have gone on before us who have dealt with these struggles. We will see others who have also made it to the other side.
Being more than conqueror's in Christ Jesus.
It's easier NOT to let others know how bad things are.
Don't need to fear rejection.
Judgment.
Inadequacies.
Let others think that we have it all together when on the inside we are falling apart.
Well let me tell ya, you can live like that...
There comes a time though when the falling apart on the inside WILL and DOES show up on the outside.
When I share the struggle I have had with laziness and procrastination, I can honestly say with St. Paul
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance. That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief". 1 Timothy 1:15
I can still look back and remember the feelings of failure, of anguish and pain.
So tired of being tired.
So sick of being sick.
Knowing that this is not what God desired for me, nor my family.
And crying....

I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven. Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them. Matthew 18:18-20
“They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8 NLT
"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT

When I look at this picture above my spirit just rises up!
BACK OFF!
I bind you in the Name of Jesus Christ!
We submit to God.
We resist you Satan. and you HAVE to flee!
We come near to God.
And He comes near to us.
This picture reminds me that we are from the tribe of the Lion of Judah!
We look to our enemies and say: DON'T MESS WITH ME!
We are God's holy children!
Today I am lifting up to God's throne:
Yaya Stuff (main blog) - Alicia's husband's grandfather passed away a few days ago. I am praying for the family as they go through this difficult time of loss and mourning. Praying for comfort and strength.
For Lois and her family:
Please pray that my son will have a heart for us & help us get things in the basement from our yard, we need the help & it hurts that he is not responding yet & we have helped him sooooooooooooo much. For my husband to be strong against the smoking because of the copd, there has been temptation for him & going backwards to ungodly companions that are not really his friends, etc. & for my daughter in college, all of our health, & so on & so forth, whew!!!!
A dear sister from You tube writes to me this morning: I landed to find out that one of my best friends daughter was struggling for her life in the hospital. She succumbed to the Swine Flu on 11/11 at 6pm
Please pray for the family.
Susanne emailed me:
the last couple of days, I've noticed that in addition to the sinus thing and the shingles, my body is trying to start a respiratory something. I CANNOT have anything attack me. I just can't. I'm mom, wife, youth pastor's wife,etc.
WE have youth convention next weekend and I can't miss it. At women's convention, I wanted to be there and I'm so glad I went but it was really a physical battle for me to participate. The speaker had some wonderful things to share and words that encouraged my spirit. I knew it would be a battle to come home and not fight discouragement so I'm asking for prayer.
I appreciate any prayers you can offer on my behalf. If you have a prayer chain at your church or with a moms group. Please feel free to share my request. Thanks!
Carmen
tami has been on my heart and really needs prayers.
Pia 's marriage.
Please pray for my family:
That God will open the door of favor for a job. We have been faithfully handing out resume's in person, fax and through emails.
For Asher who is dealing with depression, demonic attacks of the mind, and anxiety. His girlfriend of close to two years has broken off their relationship and I know this has burdened him also.
I shared with Asher a few days ago: Asher, you know I pray for your future wife everyday. She may have not been the one for you sweetie, hand picked by God, so this was meant to be. It's only normally to be hurting like this. You loved her very much. She was your first girlfriend. It's going to hurt, but everything WILL work out sweetie.
I have also encouraged him to battle the nightmares, the thoughts that rage through his mind with the Word of God (get back to reading your Bible Asher) and just calling out Jesus' Name.
You know what my precious son said:
Mom, I feel bad when I pray to God. I feel like I'm using Him only when I need Him for something.
I shared that God loves him very much. Like his parents, we are always here for him. He comes to us when he needs something. We are not going to turn him away because we feel he is 'using' us.
The same is with our Father God.
Please pray for my daycare. For God hand picking the children and family's that need a place where their children can grow, learn and be safe. Covered under the anointing of Christ Jesus.
Please pray for me as I have been voted as the President of our Catholic Women's League of our Parish. Pray for a hedge of protection, for wisdom, discernment and above all,,love believes the best! Believing the best!
While writing out this devotional His Living Sacrifice called. Please know as I bowed down in prayer by my couch with Paula, we lifted each and everyone of you up to God's throne.
Thy Kingdom come Father God on earth as it is in heaven.
amen amen amen
