JANUARY 11

Colors: Joy/bright yellow: represents frustration and losing one’s temper. Share the palette with the color Lemon Curd, and it will tone the brightness of the hue. Add a beautiful blue such as Waterfront (Smartcoat colors) to bring peace to the frustration.

Value of Concentration: Frustration.

Memory Verse: I breathe in your peace, as frustration flows from my spirit.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

I am cuddled up in my “War Room,” on my comfy couch. My candle is lit. My Cup of Fancy is on my end table. My Granny’s beautifully flowered teapot is filled to the brim with cinnamon/apple tea. I add a pinch of sweetener to make it more delectable. To spoil me, I also have a scone.

Many of you say..”Well, I don’t have that luxury in the morning.” Well neither did I for 30 years of public school plus 7 years of Christian preschool. I’m retired 9 years and am 73 years old.

It was truly frustrating trying to find “God Time.”

The greatest gift I ever gave to myself was creating my “Godspace,” for just him and me. It also serves as my art room(I was an art teacher before a Kindergarten teacher) craft, and scrapbooking area.

I feel your pain. I got up at 5:30a.m.,was at school by 7:30a.m. I was blessed that my elementary school was only 5 mins. away. Many nights with boys football practice and games, I didn’t get home til 8:p.m.

However, after you “Found Me,” I spent at least 15mins. with you at the kitchen table, before I walked out the door; often 15 mins. in the evening. My room didn’t become a big deal until my last son was in high school.

For you mothers, who are the only females within your household..I cry out to ABBA for you. So often, my words and decisions were dismissed. I remember screaming one day, ”I’m so sick of being the only woman in this household!”

Thus, I would retreat to my “War Room,” and begin a craft, scrapbook, have worship music playing, and candles lit.

Frustration can melt, once you give yourself a creative or spiritual outlet. You are beginning a new year. Make it a goal to create your “Godspace.” YOU ARE SO WORTH IT!!!

Thank you, ABBA, Father for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: A mother in present day is the chief cook and bottle washer, laundress, transporter, teacher, nurse, and whatever extra career, with which she has been blessed. Not to mention all of the bullying and political chaos; your children must be protected against these lies. My Word and the Fruits of The Holy Spirit must be taught to them, at an early age. Get them in a church related youth group. True, Christian parenting is a must. You will be blessed if you give them structure, rules, morals, emotional/physical strength, and teach them to be “Givers,” not “Takers.” YES, TWO PARENT FAMILIES…parents that stick together through thick and thin, have the most emotionally healthy, and successful children. Some of you, through no fault of your own, have become single parents. No one is expected to live within an abusive relationship. Keep close to me. I will send many to help you, if your heart is in the right place. Never doubt how much I love you. I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Your,
ABBA, Father

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Psalm 27:8 When you said,”Seek My Face,” my heart said to you,”Your face I will seek.”

Psalm 43:5 Why are you so downcast? Oh my soul! Why are you so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
