CHOICES

Today the word CHOICE caught my attention 3 times.  So I looked in the Webster Dictionary and choice is defined as the act or power of choosing.

This reminded me of Luke 8: 43-48

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44 Came behind Jesus, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.  45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?  46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.   47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.   48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.




Now I am not clapping my hands to the length of her dilemma, but I noticed her perseverance and the CHOICE that she made. She was determined, she did not give up; and neither should you.

Peel off the myths that linger behind the word menopause and press in and touch Him. Talk to Jesus, make your concerns known loud and clear. Let Him guide you and instruct you on how He and your doctor can assist you as you journey through your season of menopause.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE A couple of months ago, I went to a church event to do a book signing.    The person in charge directed to a spot where I was to set up.  Ah, I thought I have the best seat in the house, right next to the biggest grill I have ever seen.  I introduced myself to the chef.  In between the turning of his ribs, chicken, and Italian sausage; we found out that we had something in common.  He loves to cook and feed people and me, I just love people. Later when it was time for me to leave, he echoed to let him know if he could ever help.  Jokily I said, “How about at a BACK 2 SCHOOL rally?”  Without hesitation, we exchanged info and I shuffled off.  Months later, I get a call and the voice on the other end said, “Okay tell me where, what to bring and the time.   On August 20, 2011, we hosted a rally in the Victory Pointe housing community on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida.   In addition to enjoying non-...

The Courage of the Queen The other night I was watching the 2006 movie, "One Night With The King."   This movie portrays the life of the young Jewish girl, Hadassah, who goes on to become the Biblical Esther, the Queen of Persia, and saves the Jewish nation from annihilation at the hands of its arch enemy while winning the heart of the fiercely handsome King Xerxes. Esther WAS in a place of oppression, but when she went to the palace she was given the second most honored position in the kingdom.  Though she had no idea what lied ahead of her, she all the same; did what was necessary to become the very person that was used to deliver her people. Imagine the preparation and courage that was needed ‘For Such A Time As This.’  You will find that she took an entire year to prepare for her, ‘One Night With The King. "                        Preparation is defined as the action or process of maki...
