Just Ask !!

 

This morning as I was about to enjoy my regular cup of coffee. I realized that I had used up the last coffee yesterday and had forgotten to buy more. I was a bit disappointed with myself. A coffee drinker most of my life, my love of coffee goes back to my childhood days growing up on the island of Dominica. Back then we grew and harvested our own coffee beans and roasted and brewed our own blend. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee always brings back great childhood memories.

Today however I had to settle for tea. So I found my box or raspberry flavored scripture tea bags. ( These are the tea bags which has a bible verse printed on the paper tag of the bag) I Just love the way God got my attention on my bag tag the verse was from Hosea 7:15 They lie there sleepless with anxiety, but won’t ask for help (TLB). Today I need to hear that, sometimes we forget that God is always there to help us no matter what we might be going through. The trials of life sometimes seems to come at us in full force and crash down on us as an avalanche. We some times feel hopeless and helpless and might at times think God is not listening, or just don’t care about our problems. I often times only go to God with the big things or try to work it out by myself and seek God when things don’t go my way. Isn’t it amazing that the creator of all things, who knows all things and gives all things is right there by our sides to help us through all we go through.

Since retiring from my full time job to work in my travel business. I have days when I worry about the bills to be paid, the success of my business and the well-being of my family. However this reminder in the book oh Hosea tells us, all we have to do is ask for help. Because my friends nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Romans 8 :39. All we have to do is ask. We see in Luke 11:9 Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be open to you. What I know for sure is this God never get’s tired of us asking.

Transformation " A Changed Room"

Good Morning to all my friends and anyone reading this blog. As I sit here to write I ask myself where did the time go? I started this blog 5 years ago when my Friend Amy was diagnosed with Cancer. I have over those years become extremely busy with my other blogs and my home based business and have not posted on this blog for a while. To my friends and readers I do apologize for that. I commit to continue posting uplifting God based posts, that I hope will share the love of Jesus to all. Just a quick update my friend Amy is now doing well please continue to pray for Gods continued healing on her health and to draw closer to Jesus.

   
A little in what's going on in my life this week. This week I am working on painting my daughter Christine's room. The color she choose was gray and even though it was not my favorite choice (I prefer earth tones). Something about the color gray all her friends are painting their room gray am I missing something? Anyway I volunteered to paint her room gray and to say the least it's work, however I am enjoying it and with her help we are making great stride. Its amazing what a little paint can do.You can begin with a bland spotty, dirty walls or in our case a cream off white color that is not your favorite color and after adding a coat of your favorite color your get this amazing transformation. I  read the book by Moll Anderson " Change your home Change your life and one of the things she said is " That our home is a reflection of who we are" of our inner self. As I paint Christine's room and I witness this transformation, I also witness a new change coming to the room and as I watch and listen to Christine as she comes up with more ideas with how she wants her room to look, I also see her inner self coming through. I will be sharing the contiued room transformation in the upsoming weeks.
 Looking at my own life especially my former life when I was lost in the world of self and sin, Gods love and forgiveness came into my life in the form of Jesus blood shed for me, and like a tin of paint transformed my life,totally and completely. However my transformation is still in progress so continue to follow me on the journey. Lets share, pray, cry, and laugh together you are invited!!
