Be still...

What a beautiful day! Rather toasty (100 degrees) however still a beautiful day.  I was just relaxing when I thought; it appears that I seldom stop long enough to be still in the presence of our Savior; much less receive instruction on His plan for me for the day. Yes, I do pray to Him and talk to Him through out the day but I need to discipline myself at this critical hour to get before Him and wait for my instructions for the day.
The study and meditation was on being still before the Lord. After reflecting on the lesson I believe it is extremely neccessary to receive a heart transformation in order to be sincere without offense. It is essential to be in unity and in agreement; may God reposition us as we learn to wait on Him. May we walk in the light and in the things that we trust will bring increase to the body. May our words be kind and speak blessings to all and let us all seek Him in all areas of our daily activities. 'For with God all things are possible'

'Be strong and courageous for He is with you. It takes courage to do what is right.

Nanny Bailey and Collard Greens

I thank our awesome Lord for another glorious day! Lately I have been thinking about Nanny Bailey; a very unique classy woman. I had an opportunity to become very close to this beautiful lady when I was just nineteen years old. She was very wise and had a heart of gold. Truly godsend! She would grow her own veggies in her front yard, imagine that!

I decided to go to the HEB and purchase some collard greens and then I checked out several on-line recipes. I decided to take a little from each one and modify to come up with what I remembered of Nanny's version on collard greens and also to suit my own healthier choices. I replaced the ham hocks with smoked turkey wings and the lard with olive oil. I added a sprinkle of cholula to each serving. (collard greens, red pepper, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, sea salt, organic low sodium chicken broth, fresh garlic and cholula) yum -yum! The aroma of home cooking filled our home.

Nanny Bailey loved to cook and bake; family gatherings in her home was her delight. May her legacy live on from generation to generation. I will do my part to pass it on....

Season's

Greetings,

Today was a glorious day. I thank God for it. I truly enjoy the month of October however I love the month of December because Jesus is the true reason for the season. He is the true Gift! I love Christmas; it is all about the celebration of the birth of Christ. I purposely choose to search and pursue His peace daily. I proclaim that my joy is rich and brings no sorrow. I choose to allow for God's will to be onto me according to His Word. May the Holy Spirit lead me unto all truth as I share His love with those He places in my path.

We had a blessed family time this evening; it is awesome to be with those you love. Laughter is good for the soul.

May your peace over flow your soul as a river and bring you through any situation you are facing this season.

Until Next Time. Be Blessed!
Toni

Joy in the Fellowship of God - Palm 63

We have begun a four week lesson on 'A Women's Prayer Life' from the inspiring message and resources by Beth Moore founder of Living Proof Ministries. This series is designed to help women to help themselves and others in a time when we face new issues daily. As we go through the lesson we will learn how to handle the pressures and the complexities of life and we will also be encouraged along the journey.

As we study the Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah we can be confident that in this chapter we will be encouraged as I lead you into the lesson which Beth imparts the life-enriching wisdom God has given her to help women realize all He intended for us through prayer. 1)We are learning to seek God Early - 3)because His lovingkindness is better than life. 5)Our soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. (Abundance) What an awesome God we serve! May the Lord fill your cup daily. Seek Him Early in the morning and praise Him all the day long. May this practice become a part of your morning hygiene. Plead the blood of Jesus on the portals of your soul, your relationships, your finances and your body.

Blessings to you my Beloved Sister's in Christ. May you enjoy the abundant life God has for you.

Spring 2010

Hello Courageous Women of Extraordinary Faith. My Darling Sister's take a deep breath, embrace the season. Today as I was sitting in the garden I felt so happy, almost giddy. The cool breeze brushed against my face as if God himself breathed on me. The fragrance was amazing like a fresh anointing.

Spring has arrived and I am so excited to enter into a new season. I encourage you, if you have a moment today take the time to sit outside and sip on a cup of tea; thoroughly enjoy the beauty that God has set before you. Be still and rest in Him. He is in all the details of our lives. May He reveal the plans and purpose He has for yours.

Psalm 139:14 says, "I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well." (NKJV).

In His Love,
LTA
