The Drought Is Over-Wailing Women’s Conf.

I went with other daily lilies to a Wailing Women’s Conference hosted by Bishop Shawn L. Stephens and Prophetess Yolanda Stephens this weekend in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The theme was “The Drought is Over”. It was so power packed with each speaker being on fire for the Lord and the facility being filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus seemed to meet us wherever we went. One evening, Jesus appeared as I was praying. I saw his robes descend from the thrown room into the conference room. I also saw his presence in the form of each speaker who shared their testimony and their caring and healing touch to each one who was there. We daily lilies were always welcomed and embraced by a hug or warm welcoming smile. It felt like a heavenly meeting with many different personalities coming together to share their love for Jesus. Everyone had a story to tell about how Jesus rescued them whether told or not.

Food for Thought

” What we think, we become.”

I have heard this quote all my life. Not sure who first said it. Do we believe it? Do we have scriptures to confirm or deny it? Are we capable of controlling what we think? Will we become anything we want if we can think it? What do you think?

Proverbs

Change your mind change your life.
Get another perspective.
See things from another point of view.
See things from another’s point of view.
When you die all wisdom and understanding will not die with you.
Other people are right too.
The more you know the less you know.
When you are the only one that is right, you live in a little world.
Listen to people who know more than you.
Ask questions.
Your way is not the only way.
There is safety in an abundance of counselors.
Ask for help.
Value all the resources available to you.
When you retire you will be replaced.
The world will not end when you end.
There are views from both sides of the mountain.
To see things better go to higher ground.

Study with Sara-Do we need Emotional Crutches

for our emotional handicaps?

Are we emotionally handicapped at times? Do we use walking canes made of ‘poor me’ wood? Do we wear cheap walking shoes that fit like “I’m going to walk all over you?” Do we hobble around on crutches made from ‘Popular Pride’ that surely will cause us to fall?

What Doctor do we visit for our healing? A friend that agrees with us so we can keep riding our emotional roller coaster for free, or so we think? Does a new car or house make us what we ought to be?

We at times read every magazine and study every ad so we can shine like the Bright Morning Star, or so we believe?

Look at the two contrasting pictures, and see which one, if I should buy one or the other, would help make me a better person? Or, help to develop my character? Draw me closer to Jesus? Give me a better family relationship?

Informal Professors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

John Carmody, The Progressive Pilgrim
“Teaching, like study, is clearly both formal and informal. The parent can lecture as much as the professor. The grandparent can be concerned with the little one’s souls as much as the priest. Even friends and peers are teachers. They push and prod our clay, leave considerable impact on our meaning, our reality. Like it or not, each day we are lectured by a variety of informal professors on the ways of the world, both for good and for bad.”
