God's Grace is Sufficient

This is one of those days when I don't want to appear overly excited but I feel like there is a lot of dancing going on internally with praises and shouts of hallelujah.  I'm not even mad that I feel violated someone took it upon themselves to browse through my zip up portfolio and have one of my accounts locked out which I found out to my dismay today.  Lord I just ask that you bless the perpetrators with what they need to get on their own grind.  I know you will abundantly provide if we put our trust and faith in you. 

Today is one of those days I want to have posted in the history book.  A day when God brought his believers together for his greater good.  What God has brought together let no man put asunder.  Let the Lord's will be done.

On today I saw first hand how God is continually at work.  When we fall short or can't do anything to make a situation better for ourselves or someone else God can touch it and make things happen greater than we can receive.  God is good.  When things are going on in and around you he is right their in the midst of it all.  He doesn't drop the ball.  He's the one who recovers fumbles and takes the ball and makes a touchdown and he runs towards the field goal of the team that needs it the most.  My oh my how he can turn things around.  His goodness and kindness can open doors we never imagined would be opened.  It is not in no man's time it is in God's time.  His perfect will can and will be done.

Lord I thank you for the blessings you know you bestowed upon this world today and every day.  Thank you for your greatness and tender mercies.  You are the Great I Am. The light and the resurrection to lead each and every one of us to a better today and and even better tomorrows.  Thank you!

Everything may not be going right.  There can be storms to the east, storms to the west, turbulence to the north, and drowning to to the south but it is comfort in knowing God is in the midst of it all.  It doesn't have to be physically going on it can be spiritually happening.  Life can send us some weather we have no control over but rest assured God is always in control.  As long as God is piloting my path I am redeemed.  The reprieve comes in knowing you, God, you are constantly in the midst of it everything.

Prayers go up and blessings pour down.  It doesn't happen once or twice it seems it happens every day which is ever so nice.  Lord praise for you will continually be in my mouth.  Thank you for letting warriors come together for a battle to serve your divine purpose.  Good plus good is better than great.  Thank you for letting your children come together on this day according to your will.  Amen!

There are those FACEBOOK posts I really love!

Okay gone are the days where someone needs to text message or email you with funny videos and text messages.  They can just post to FACEBOOK and share with the masses.  The messages go on and on and on.  No need to tie up someone business cell phone or business email account with a lot of ramblings they just don't have time for.

My preferred medium is to read messages via FACEBOOK.  I wonder how many people who use email for personal purposes one day may even decide to shut down their email accounts and read all their messages via FACEBOOK?  Most often when I read FACEBOOK messages I look forward to receiving something of  a personal nature.  When I read my email or look at my phone I am more often looking to see something of a business nature. 

One FACEBOOK post I read today on a friends wall I am posting here.  A blog is a great medium for lengthy posts.  I see FACEBOOK is now allowing posts up to 63K. So I imagine I will find some really great posts longer in length for those FBers who like to write.

Here goes a post I find worthy of sharing.  Being a single mother for so many years I know how important it is to try and raise your sons to be men.  Seeing things from a male perspective is what a young man needs.  I posted a woman version a while back when I first started my blog.  The funny thing is I got the woman post off a website for a male who felt like there were some things all women needed to know.  I sure a woman probably originally drafted the post.

Here goes:

‎10 THINGS THAT SEPARATE A BOY FROM A MAN:


1. A BOY keeps a password on his cell phone while a MAN is confident enough to say "baby can u answer that for me"!!...


2. A BOY runs the streets to chill with his friends while a MAN is enjoying time with his woman planning ahead for their future!

...

3. A BOY complains about spending too much time with his woman, a MAN plans

vacations & getaways because he is wise enough to know tomorrow isn't promised!



4 A BOY has pride after arguments, a MAN has heart & emotions (and can apologize)



5 A BOY beats on his woman, a MAN holds his woman!



6 A BOY screams gold-digger for the simple things a woman wants, a MAN screams, " I could give you no less!"



7 A BOY tells his woman all the things she does wrong, a MAN acknowledges his woman's hard work and supports and lifts her up!



8 A BOY tells his woman she is sexy, & a MAN tells his woman she is beautiful!



9. A BOY will sit back and let his woman take care of him, a MAN will work 4 jobs and sacrifice his wants to take care of his woman.



10. A BOY will read this & think this is about him & a MAN will read this & thoroughly acknowledge what he needs to fix in his relationship.

Yes.  Ten years ago friends would have blown up email inboxes with such a post.  Thank goodness for FACEBOOK!

Have a great day!
