Scratchy Hoarse Sore...

My throat is scratchy, hoarse, and slightly sore. It's official I am starting to have symptoms of a cold. It's time to break out the medication and the coffee.

I've read somewhere that coffee has a lot of antioxidants. That could keep my symptoms from getting worse. I usually don't get sick often, and at times everyone

in the house can be sick except me, and I kind of think it's because I drink coffee almost every day, but NOT AS MUCH in the last two weeks... I don't know if that's definitely the case but...it's something to think about!

A Beautiful Saying...

A beautiful saying that I want to always remember..."The greatest privilege man has is the opportunity to love God and serve Him. We must never take this privilege for granted" ~Quoted From Our Adult Student Handbook~

Compassion...

This Wednesday nights bible study was about compassion, and having compassion for those that are suffering and don't know God.Being able to witness to them, tell them about Jesus, and how to be saved.(Acts 2:38-39)

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Doughnuts That We Don't Need...

Today has been a long day of editing video footage, and I am now ready to rest my eyes(smiles)

We now have new video footage on the "Snippets Of Our Lives" page of our website. A video titled "Doughnuts That We Don't Need!" ~Latresha~@BlessedDirection.Com

Begin To Experience...

As a saved people we don't have to feel like we would be happier if the world loved us. Don't change or compromise in order to think you'll be better loved or received by the world.

God's love and all he has to offer us through Salvation... is ALWAYS more than enough to sustain our need for Love, Joy, Peace, and CONTENTMENT in this world.

Also pray for the unsaved today, that they too will receive salvation Acts 2:38-39, and begin a BEYOND AWESOME walk with the one true living God, that's available to us all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Acts2:38-39~Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Nothing More Fulfilling...

I'm always proud to see my loved ones doing what makes them happy. There is nothing more fulfilling than being in God's will, and doing what he has gifted you to do.

God Heard Him...

Thinking about the book of Jonah, and some of the things that God did in this book of the bible. It's very sobering to meditate on how mighty and powerful our God really is.

How he SENT out a great wind into the sea, and there was a MIGHTY tempest in the sea. Prepared a GREAT fish to swallow up Jonah. KEPT Jonah alive in the belly of that fish for THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS,

and while in the belly of the fish, Jonah prayed to the Lord God, and God HEARD him. Then the Lord spoke TO THE FISH, and it vomited out Jonah, upon DRY LAND. There is Nobody greater than you LORD GOD!

Make Them Light...

This Wednesday's bible study was about burdens. How we should carry our own, knowing that God will make them light.

Matthew 11:28-30~ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ~KJV Bible~

Brings You Joy...

Always remember that every good thing that you have labored for, and that brings you joy. Comes from God and God alone.

Ecclesiastes 5:19-20~Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.


For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. ~KJV Bible~

It's Not Good...

It's not good being an angry person, or easy to anger all the time. Being this way spoils everything around you, and pushes others away.

Ecclesiastes 7:9~ Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

Taking Too Long...

It's been an interesting evening, of finally getting some shopping done. From my husband racing the shopping cart in the store, to

the kids thinking that we would spend the night there, because I was taking too long(smiles). I must say that we still enjoyed our Saturday together as a family!

Enjoy Our Days...

The days for a man born of a woman are short and full of trouble.

Therefore it is important that we enjoy our days to the fullest. Not looking for trouble or starting any.

Job 14:1~ Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. ~KJV Bible~

Staying Positive...

We now have video footage on the "Staying Positive" page of Our website.

This footage is from last weekend when I posted that I was getting prepared,for a weekend of worship and fellowship !

It Truly Is...

Thinking about how great it feels to give to others, not expecting anything in return.

Just to be able to put a smile on someones face, makes me happy. It truly is better to give than to receive!

Finishing The Race...

The race is not given to the swift nor to the strong but to the one that endures to the end. Knowing this encourages me to not give up, and to continue doing every

good thing for God's glory and with God's help, until my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ comes to take me home. To the reader stay encouraged also, and finish the race.

From Personal Experience...

I believe that there is an anointing of understanding over the saved, as we read the King James Version bible. From personal experience, it seems like the

more I grow spiritually, the easier it is to understand what I am reading in this version of the bible. I enjoy letting the counsel of the Holy Ghost teach me!

Enjoying The Journey...

Today's post marks one hundred days of daily blogging, for my husband and I. We are continuing to enjoy the journey. Most days it's fun, some days I almost forget,

but God reminds me, in just enough time to get a post done for the day,(smiles). We still look forward to posting as much as possible,

and have realized the importance of having an "active" online presence. With myself being an indie gospel artist, having written an eBook devotional, and also having our own website. We want to continue using these tools, and online venues to first...

Be a witness to others about the one true living God, and his salvation that is available to us all, through Jesus Christ! (Acts 2:38-39), and then to talk about this beautiful journey called life... If it be the Lord's will, we want to do this for a long time. "Thanks" to those that have stuck around since the beginning!

I'm Excited...

Preparing my mind and spirit for a weekend of singing. I'm excited and looking forward to enjoying

the awesome presence of God, as I worship, and fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ!

A Living Example...

As I read the book of Titus today, I enjoyed a very sobering study of how Titus had the responsibility of setting the church at Crete in order, and how important it is for us as a saved people,

to continue being a living example of what is right and Holy. Keeping the working out of our salvation as the most important thing in our lives!

Titus 2:11-12~ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

~Latresha~@BlessedDirection.Com

Reading It Daily...

The topic for this Wednesday's Bible teaching was about the powerful word of God. The importance of reading your Bible daily, and the positive effects of LIVING what you read, will have on your life!

Hebrews 4:12 ~ For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ~KJV Bible~

Let's Play Boosh...

Running up to me, wide eyed and with a smile. Our son "bubby" says, mama let's play "boosh". "Boosh" is a sound that I make when I'm tossing him up in the air, and he loves it.

Then of course once I started playing with him, all the rest of our children wanted to play too, and as we laughed, played, and had fun together.

I thought about how these are the moments that children enjoy the most, and our children will probably remember for a long time. Take the time to love on, and have fun with your children, because when that precious time is gone... it's gone and you can't get it back.

Our Own Tantrums...

There are times when our youngest son "Zee" will have a tantrum and refuse to calm down until he gets ready, and once he does. I can still take a look at his cute little face,

and forget all about how he has showed out on me (smiles). It's also in these times, that I realize how we as God's children can sometimes

throw our own "tantrums" in life. When situations don't go our way. Yet God is still right there, being patient, loving, and forgiving towards us!
