Oh Zoey, Zoey, Zoey, I love it! "Balance that rests in harmony with God!" Bulls- eye! Right on target! When our lives are rooted and grounded in Jesus, He is absolutely balanced, so begins our balance transformation. It becomes very evident when I am out of His balance. I become loud and noisy in my thoughts, just like an…

Hello :love: 1 Corinthians 2:16(AMP) 16 For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. You and I, all of us together, have the…

Zoey,:heart: I love your prayers for us all. Amen! Amen! Amen!

My Dear Friend Nicolette, I highly dislike that word "normal." I have decided that every moment I am alive is one in which I get to learn of the Lord and practice transforming. Romans talks about being not conformed to this world but being transformed. Normal is being conformed. I want His transformation. Since…

My Dearest Ali, :love: How precious you are....silence is a lovely part of being human. Yes, we miss you, but you have the freedom to be silent. To grow as God is directing you. Although, we all greatly value you and your input. I encourage you to share as God leads. Just as you have been. Here is a lovely verse about…

:love: My Dear Christine, I love that you said "No." Learning to say "No" at God's leading is just as important as saying "Yes" at His leading. I can really see that the Lord is helping you make wise choices.You are growing! That is excellent progress! :smile: I also wanted to address your response to this chapter. Did you…

Dearest Nicolette, I always love seeing your journey written out. Your words echo the cry of my heart. To God first and foremost. How I often struggle with this too. I know how hard these last weeks have been. I know what a victory it is for you write these words. Even with your heart broken, you are crying out to Him. You…

Percy :love: :heart: :heart: :heart: Love the tying in of Moses to this chapter. I had to go and read it. Here is what I saw. God had just provided water from the rock for the Israelites in this place of desert.....called Rephidim. In this desert place, they were attacked. This was Israel's first battle. This is the first…

Our God is a good God....yet, I often find myself focused on what I am doing wrong. This keeps me in a place of sin for too long. I need to readjust my focus to Him. As we go into this new week, I want you to see where you are thinking the right thoughts as well as noticing the wrong thoughts. Rejoice in the places you…

Zoey, I am wondering why it seems so much easier to think about what we don't have then what we do have? Naturally, my mind always wants to go to the negative, to the empty places. Joyce said, "Because what you are thinking now is what you are going to live tomorrow." What an impacting statement. Especially if my mind…

A new thought: "What am I allowing to impregnate my mindset?" Often I find my mind fertile to fear, doubt and unbelief. Birthing so much chaos in my life. Thank the Lord, He is showing me how to be selectively fertile to His Word.

Amen! Amen! Amen! There is power in agreement! I so appreciate your prayer. :heart:

Hello Loves, Is your furnace hot? Mine is pip'in hot! Yet He is right there with me and the fire touches me not, nor am I singed. This week for me has been all about one word....failure. The attack against me has come in relationships. Warfare in almost every arena. The stand out factor for me, has been the accusation that…

:flowerforyou: Some Word meditation that is blessing me: Psalm 27. 1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? :heart: In all that I am facing, the LORD IS MY REFUGE AND STRONGHOLD. There is NOTHING for me to fear. 2 When…

My Lovely Tamara :love: So wonderful to share this journey with you. Our God is such an excellent teacher. :heart:

Bev :heart: :heart: :heart: Yes, Oh yes! He is helping me to fix my eyes on Him. No wondering eyes for me, and no wondering thoughts. Only focus on my Beloved, Who is beautiful to behold. He is so lovely in you.

Dearest Christine, How you bless my heart. I love what God is revealing to you. It is touching my heart. I especially love this" I get to make a decision to turn my thoughts and all the images in my memory banks over to God. In doing that I can be more free to be with only Teddy in my mind, heart and body, which in turn is…

Awww....Zoey, what a perfect example of facing, feeling, processing and overcoming. I love how God helped you to obey and then He blessed your obedience by giving you the man of your heart. You are so right, that often, when our minds don't understand, our emotions run ramped. Obedience was sacrifice for you and that…

I love this expression of your heart and your prayer is exactly blooming perfectly in my heart. :love:

My Dearest Friend, DonnaLynn, How agonizing are these moments. How my heart feels your pain and frustration for I have known this kind of heart ache. The scripture says in Proverbs 13:12 (MSG) "Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around." Your heart is sick. Sick of hoping…

Gwen, How God is using you. Just this week I had an opportunity to rethink how this study is going. This scripture is the one that started my whole journey on MFP. Thank you for sharing it with me. It confirmed my heart with this study. Your words also affirmed me. I wish to honor God and thank Him for keeping me on track…

:heart: :heart: :heart: Dearest Ali, Nothing in your situation is too big for God. He has got you. He is helping your process all your emotions. He is a very present help in trouble. Right now you feel troubled, anxious, frustrated and discouraged. These are very real feelings and God knows just how to minister to your…

Hello My Loves, So today I was seeking the Lord about being positive. What does that look like? I began to think about Jesus and I began to wonder about His mindset. Here is what I know: :heart: 1 Peter 2:21-24 Amplified Bible (AMP) 21 For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also…

My Dearest Nicolette, Truly you have touched my heart with you words. There was so much that I wanted to quote from your sharing. I decided to do it one by one. I love your heart. I see your struggle and I see your victory. There were so many things you wrote that I so identified with. I totally, know what it is like to…

Zoey, Where to begin.....so many things you shared really resonated with my heart too. You picked this quote: ”Being positive in a positive situation is easy. But, when we are positive in a negative situation it shows genuine trust in God and a spiritual maturity that pleases and glorifies God.” I picked it too. I am in…

DonnaLynn, I looooooved what you said about asking God for the faith to positive. I know the bible clearly says, ask and you shall receive. As I was reading this chapter, what came to me was, I wonder what God thinks is positive?" The answer came loud and clear for me. God wants me to think as He does, to see as He does.…

My Dearest Ladies,:love: I am off to vacation in Oregon. Really, to cry and cry in my family's arms, whom I have not seen in eight months. We are a very close family and this separation has been very hard...a real place of challenge in my thinking. I will be gone for the week. I leave you in God's hands....DonnaLynn will…

Dearest Michelle,:heart: I find letting God be in control so hard. I am so used to doing for myself. This is another symptom of too much responsibility too early. Praise God, He turns the plan of the enemy to good for me. I am finding so much relief in learning what I am really responsible for. He is teaching me. For…

My Zoey, How accurate is your aim.....for this is what I needed to hear. I feel so out of balance, but that is how I should feel as I am in the process of learning balance. When I was a child I could not magically ride my bike, I had to practice balance(translated, falling over and over and over and over again.) The bike…

You ladies rock! Bev, Absolutely loved your quitting list. So excellent to remind myself of what I am quitting. Dead! Dead! Dead! That is what I am. Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,…
