Hear From God...

Not knowing what to do in the midst of a very important situation, can be very overwhelming. But if you would just begin praying before God in Jesus name, and start fasting.

Doing so can strengthen your spiritual discernment. Allowing you to hear from God the answer, of what to do.

Fix And Heal...

Staying quiet and prayerful about people and situations, is always better. Than to gossip and "uncover" them before others.

Doing so can negatively "grow" a problem and make it even worse. But praying to God about it has the power to fix and to heal!

1 Peter 4:8~ And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

The Word Sanctified...

Sanctified means to make holy, set apart as sacred, consecrate, and purify from sin.

2 Timothy 2:20-21 ~ But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. ~ KJV Bible~

Step Over Into...

Living this life is not about having a certain type of job, college degree, title, or earthly status...but it's about what we are doing for the up building of Gods Kingdom, with the time that we have here.

Only what's done for Christ will last...and all earthly, carnal, and sinful things will burn up...but Salvation, and living a Holy life will step over into Gods glorious eternity!

Psalm 62:7 ~ In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. ~KJV Bible~

Only One...

This Wednesday night's Bible study was about the fact that there is only one God. Not three Gods, persons, or a trinity. There is only one God in Christ Jesus.

Who is also the father the eternal one, also the son, and also the manifestation of the spirit of God, which is the Holy Ghost.

These three are manifestations of one God. Knowing this truth is very exciting... and reveals even the more, how mighty our God is!

Isaiah 44:6~ Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Tugged At My Heart...

Seeing the reactions of those families... After they had been told that their loved ones, on flight 370 had perished. Really tugged at my heart today... I'm
praying for the strength and comfort of these people...

Isaiah 41:10 ~Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

The Word Verity...

Verity is something that is true, the state or quality of being true; accordance with fact or reality.

Psalm 111:6-8~He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. ~KJV Bible~

They Can Be...

Thanking God right now, for the new soul that was saved and filled with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost on today, Praise God!!!!!

I feel the Anointing of God, just thinking about it!(smiles) I'm also continuing to pray for others that want to know how they can be saved too!

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. ~KJV Bible~

Worthy and Capable...

You are very worthy and capable of doing just what God has called you to do. I'm reminded of Moses and when he made excuses about how he could not communicate well. Yet God made him capable when he thought that he was incapable.

Exodus 4:10-12~ And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. ~KJV Bible~

Godly Character...

This Wednesday nights bible study was about the topic of character. How we should reflect Godly character in our daily lives, and always be willing to do God's will. No matter what, even when it requires suffering.

1 Peter 4:16~ Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Music Producing Mom...

Another day of producing and completing the instrumentals for another song, yaaay! Now it's time to start on the vocals, and then I'll be done.Hopefully the vocal recording won't take long.

I might have to wait until later on tonight, after my children are asleep to record though.The volume around our house can stay pretty high during the day (smiles)...

So I've found a way to still stay productive with my music, by working on it at night too... It's all a part of being a music producing mom I guess!

The Word Malice...

Malice is the intention or desire to do evil, inflict injury, harm, or suffering on another person.

Ephesians 4:31-32 ~Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. ~KJV Bible~

Grateful For Every Moment...

It's a great blessing and privilege to be a parent, to have children that will carry your bloodline on down for many generations to come, if that's the Lords will.
Be grateful for every moment that you get to spend with your children.

Psalm 127:3-5~ Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. ~KJV Bible~

Strength On Tonight...

If your parents are still living, and you get to see them or speak with them regularly. Thank God for having this wonderful and Blessed opportunity.

For there are many who's mom, dad, or both parents have passed away.They miss them dearly, and wish that they could get those times back...

I am preparing to sing at the funeral on tomorrow, of someone's mother who has passed away. My heart goes out to this family,and all families that are grieving over anyone that they have lost,I'm praying for their strength on tonight...

Isaiah 41:10~ Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Before He Was Walking...

We now have new video footage on the "snippets of our lives" page of our website, the video is titled "before he was walking"... As you can see in the picture of our baby boy "zee".

This is what we saw him doing one day BEFORE we ever saw him take his first steps, without holding on to the furniture.

I know it's strange but it's true. Sometimes I think my baby could walk all the time... he just wanted us to carry him everywhere but he is so cute though,(smiles)!

Faithful and Reliable...

This Wednesday's bible study was about the importance of being faithful and reliable to God. In every area of our daily lives, for the rest of our lives.

Matthew 24:44-47~ Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.~KJV Bible~

To Take A Bite...

Our oldest son went to his school's book fair today, and purchased an item that he was so excited about.

He told me that it was a certain type of candy that he wanted, and after his purchase, finally getting the opportunity...

He opened the packaging to take a bite, and when he did... it was not candy at all, it was an eraser! He had bought five dollars...

worth of erasers. He was so disappointed, but I cheered him up with a trip to the store to buy real candy(Smiles)!

The Word Fable

A fable is a usually short narrative. Making an edifying or cautionary point, and often employing as characters
animals that speak and act like humans. A story about legendary persons and exploits, a falsehood; a lie.

1 Timothy 1:4 ~Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. ~KJV Bible~

~Latresha@BlessedDirection.Com

Quite Creative...

Our oldest son "P.J." has gotten quite creative lately. He made a sculpture of his face in school this week.It looks pretty fun, and if you can see it from the picture...

I think It's cute how he tried to make the nose look realistic... Now if we can just keep it from getting broken (smiles). I would love to keep this precious memory for a long time,good job son Love you!!

A Peculiar People...

When the unsaved looks at the lifestyle and personality of the SAVED, they should see peculiarity...Not the familiarity of what they see out in the world, for we are a peculiar people!

1 Peter 2:9~ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;

that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; ~KJV Bible~

~Latresha~@BlessedDirection.Com

Rejoice In Advance...

NEVER let your emotions rule over you. Emotions are uncertain, and they can be up today down tomorrow. Find stability in the Lord God. For he is the ONLY answer that will keep us happy

and stable in this life... So when you are happy give God thanks, and when you are tempted to feel sad... Rejoice in advance and continue giving God thanks for the better days that are coming! In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!

Psalm 146:5~ Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God: ~KJV Bible~

~Latresha~@BlessedDirection.Com

Be On Fire...

This Wednesday's bible study was about Paul's first, second, and third missionary journey, how we should be on fire, and excited

about doing missionary work, and the importance of telling others about the Gospel and how to be saved. (Acts: 2:38-39)

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. ~KJV Bible~

A Great Job...

After church service Sunday, our oldest daughter had to sing at another church with her school's Gospel choir, as part of her grade for this nine weeks,

and they did a great job. God has truly blessed their choir director with a gift of patience to work with the youth, and a good "ear" for knowing what pitch every student should be singing in!

Words Like Prettyful...

You get words like "prettyful" when listening to our son "bubby" talk. It was a nice day outside today where we live, and "bubby" after coming in from outside.

Looked out the window, and said "it is prettyful outside". It was funny how he mixed pretty and beautiful together.
