Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

The sun is shining brightly upon a field of new-fallen snow. As I sip my Cup of Fancy (Pumpkin Spice Decaf..splash of cream), I am in awe of the colors that are sprinkling across the horizon.

The sun, creeping over the horizon, is displaying colors of pinks, purples, oranges, and reds, against the azure morning sky. I am in awe of your glory!

It’s as if my palette of colors have been displayed across the sky.

Once I realized that The Holy Spirit lived within me…..I finally understood that I could call upon your power.

The confidence that you have built within me….is an anointing of You, ABBA.  You fill my heart with so much joy.

Dear Reader if you are going through the following:

* If you are going through depression..turn to Jesus.

*If you are in a terrible relationship…or you’ve had a child out of wedlock..turn to Jesus.

*If you are an alcoholic, or addicted to drugs…turn to Jesus.

*If you are suicidal…turn to Jesus…that is why you feel so empty..you don’t have the Holy Spirit within You.

*If you are in a terrible/sexual relationship and can’t find your way out…remember Mary Magdalene….turn to Jesus.

*If you need help with parenting because you are a single mom…turn to Jesus.

*Your child is uncontrollable …..turn to Jesus.

*If you are experiencing domestic violence…seek Jesus.

With all of the above situations; pray, ask Jesus to become your Lord and Savior.  Ask the Holy Spirit, who now lives within you, to guide you to medical and professional help.

You are worthy and God loves you.  He will refresh you with a new life, a new outlook, and teach you the way in which you should go…Yes, He will guide your paths, as He did mine.

As I was teaching preschool, after I had my three sons, I asked and prayed daily; “Should I go back to school and get re-certified. One morning in class He whispered to me…”Go back to school…You can do a K-3 in a heartbeat.”

I MADE THE CHOICE! God has put this innate thing within me.  Whenever he places something in front of me, to improve my life and well being…I jump at the chance.

Don’t focus on your sickness, get yourself out of bed.

Find a reason to have a good day.

I was in HORRIBLE POST-PARTEM DEPRESSION 46 YEARS AGO. I was stuck in this farmhouse with no girlfriends; knowing not which way to turn. I had two small kids to care for; then God began to open doors for me. However, if you are suffering from depression, You have to get out of bed and off of your butt to make the choice to get well.

Surround yourself with women friends and a church community that will support you.

He will guide you, and refresh you with His Presence.

Live in expectation of his love and surprises.

Trust me…out of nowhere …a door will open.

Then you will know that it was God…and only God…that made it happen.

Thank You Father for all of my inspiration to share. Thank You for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: Come to me. Bow down to me and I will lead you in righteousness. Surrender completely to Me and I will begin to direct you in Big Ways; it will be so big, that you will have to recognize that it is ME AND ONLY ME; who is providing the blessings that are coming upon you. Once you open your heart to my Holy Spirit, nothing is impossible.  I can take you to heights that are unbelievable. You will know that I am with you. I will refresh your soul. Trust me in all things for I created you once, and I can recreate you to have a fulfilled spiritual life with me, and assurance of eternity.

I love you,

Your,
ABBA, Father
