Created by God

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27NIV

I have been thinking a lot about this new year that we have before us. What does God want me to do, where is he bringing me? As a woman; I am created in his own image. So, what does that mean? For starters, I have imagination, intellect, and most importantly a soul. Even more important God made me so that I would have an ongoing relationship with him. I need him, and he has promised to always be there for me.

As I prayed God what is it you would have of me? My thoughts keep going to young men and women who don't feel that anyone loves them. Then I realized I need to go and let them know that they are loved, that 'God loves them'. My heart is reaching to young women who in this society has been taught that they are not worthy or loved. It saddens me to see that they don't rise to were God wants them to be. That they are a loved! I pray that God shows me the way and allows me to do this. I know through prayers and his word, that God will direct me.

Psalm 139:14 says, 'I am fearfully and wonderfully made.' Lord let me be a vessel that you use to teach young men and women that you purposely created them, and love them perfectly. That they need to stand up and be the young people he has called them to be.

I am a Kept woman?

Some one sent me this in a email and I love it thought I would share it with you.

I am a 'Kept' Woman

You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,

But God kept me sane (Isa. 26.3)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer,

But the LORD kept me moving ( Gen 28.15)

At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,

But the LORD kept my mouth shut...(Psa. 13)

Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,

But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid,

etc..., (Matt. 6:25-34)

When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.

When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong! (1 Peter 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)

I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!

I'm blessed to be 'kept'

Do you know a 'kept' women?

If so pass it on to her to let her know she is 'Kept'

I'm 'Kept' by the Love and Grace of God

youth leader!!!

This is one of my most favorite ministries I have worked in. I have been in it since 1998 and I still love it today. Now that my kids are grown and no longer in youth I still enjoy it. I have seen my family grow, even if only in my heart. They are not my biological children but I have adopted many. I will not name them in case I forget one name I love them all as my own. It is a full time ministry, you never know when you will be needed, loved on, going on a outing or just listening etc.... I am just the youth leader under the leadership of my good friends Bishop & Mrs Joshua Martin. Which I love!! Along with this comes surprises, like what I found in my front yard at 12.00 am. I know it is in good fun! Those who did this just remember pay backs! All of those who I have worked with I love you all.
I will post pictures later they are not uploading at this time
