60..the "magic number" you gotta read this one

OKAY...WHAT DOES ONE THINK OF WHEN THEY SEE THE NUMBER (60)????

is it an age?? a # of pounds one wishes to loss???maybe $60.00 in cash//

but to me i am reminded that it can be only 60 seconds to change a life
to say i care..to say i am here..to say i am sorry..i was wrong..to say i love you..wow..

who would think that a simple 60 seconds could change a life forever..now my question is..who and how are you going to spend the next 60 seconds?? as the year enfolds and a new 2008 is upon us..i ask..have you said all you have to say..have you seriously reached out to make a difference..see it is in times like these..when we must choose..that one can grow..sometimes for the good and yes sadddly yes..sometimes for the bad..we have been given freedom of choice..but many times our flesh and pride set us aside and we lose all too precious time..see each 60 seconds can never be relived..changed...stop looking in your past and push forward..deep down each of us has alot of bondage if we are honest with ourselves..today in church we spoke of repentence..wow..that struck home for me ..see i fail everyday..i don;t set forth to do so..but we are humans..but i am so thankful my awesome father loves me in the good and the bad times..we put way to much into ourselves..we live to much by feelings..so and so hurt me..how could they and so on..well stop for one moment and just imagine ..with all we hurt from and see in the world what and how does our heavenly father do it..wow..it blows my mind..i am just so thankful for his foregiveness..now i ask you..who are you not to foregive..to step out..maybe be the first to make a move even if you don;t think your in the wrong..in the just of life..all that is ugg!!is wrong..jesus did not die for us to live like this..so i ask you dear friend..are you will to step out of your comfort zone and make :60 seconds" be amazing..and life changing..i know i want to..pray about it..he hears your cries..your fears..your insurities..and he's alway s has ..i pray this blog as sent you free..and today you choose to live the life you were intended to live..hmm 60 seconds..maybe 60 minutes..60 days..60 yrs..life in incredible!!!i wish you the very best....happy new year..i hope we are friends...and if not than i pray one day we will meet..sincerely the very best to you and your family..and please..seriously..think of how 60 seconds can effect your life...seriously....

dominoes and real life

THAT IS WHY MY DOMINOE THEORY COMES INTO PLAY..SEE IF WE ARE CORRECTED PLANTED..POSTIONED(IN CHRIST)..YES WE WILL HAVE TWISTS AND TURNS..BUT IT IS IN HIS WILL AND TIMING.."HABIKUAK 2 2-4)THEY WILL COME TO PASS AND LIKE IN THE GAME DOMINOES..IT SET CORRECTED..THEY WILL FALL RIGHT IN PLACE IN THE CORRECT TIME..SOMETIMES SLOW..THE OTHER QUICKLY..BUT ALWAYS..PERCISE..SO IF WE..YES WE..ALL OF US..FIRMLY PLANT OURSELVES IN CHRIST..IN HIS WORD..IN HIS TIMING ALL WILL BE WELL..

HMMM..THE QUESTION IS ARE YOU LIVING FOR YOU..YOURFLESHLY WAYS..OR HAVE YOU GIVEN YOURSELF OVER COMPLETELY ???
I HOPE I EXPLAINED THIS CLEARLY ENOUGH...LIFE IS AMAZING..DON'T JUST LIVE TO RUSH THREW IT..HE HAS SOMETHING WONDERFUL AWAITING FOR YOU...AND IF YOU HAVE MADE MISTAKES..HEY WE ALL DO EVERYDAY..STEP UP AND ADMIT THEM..GET IT OUT THERE..DON'T HOLD ON TO IT..THAT DOES NOBODY ANY GOOD...TODAY IS A NEW DAY..MAKE THE MOST OF IT..YOU ARE INCREDIBLE..AND WONDERFULLY MADE..REMEMBER THAT..AND GO OUT AND SHARE YOURSELF WITH THE WORLD....SINCERELY MS.

I WANT TO BE A MALLARD!!!!

i want to be the mallard!!what about you...

okay have you ever seen something and your mind just went in hundred directions but all your thought s came to the same ending..let me explain...i live on a lake lot and many times i love to go out and watch the ducks..i see them every day..i love to watch the sunrise..but this day was different..see..i saw a flock of white ducks and one mallard..he was so odd looking ..hanging out with these 7 white ducks..my mind thought..isn't it fitting..in life..don't we all feel like the odd one out from time to time..but as i watched..i noticed..the"gang" white ducks could have cared less..they accepted him..odd ball or not..his differnce made no differnce..then i gazed out and saw all the candian geese..over a dozen..they are so majestic..and regal..so grand..as i watched them..i noticed..they stayed together..they called out and more..of the same landed with them....the white ducks and one mallard tried to come over but the geese chased them away..so natsy like..i dare you>>so fitting..do you ever come across a group of people who think they are so better than you..and they won't even take the time to get to know you...it's sad..as i watched the whole scence in front of me..a life lesson unfolded ...i thought about how Jesus was so different when he walked this earth as a human and all the trials he went threw..standing out and all..and well i say..be diiferent..be yourself...love with all your heart..and if they won't let you in their little group..well sadly..it's their loss because you are someone really special..we are put on this earth to be a vessel..to show God's love and compassion..am i perfect'''no way!!!not even close..and i fail misserably every day..but i wake up each morning thankful to be alive and know i am here to make a differnece..to be used..and when i sleep at night..i pray to be used again....and again..so to all of you who don't quit fit into the "mold" of a group..i say stand up..stand out..and be proud..walk like Jesus...it's okay to be differnent..and to all of you who are in your own little klicks.and won't let others in..well i feel sorry..you may be not letting Jesus himself in..afterall..He is in all of us..remember!!!!!..well something to think about dear friend or those who read my blogs..i wish you the most amazing day(life)...try to awake each day and look at the beautiful sunrise..each day is a masterpiece..a gift drawn from God himself..no 2 are alike..and each so valuable...luv to all ..have a great day!!!

1 strike..two..three..who's really the one out???hmm

okay..we all know the game of baseball...1,2,3,strikes your out...kinda like in life..we so many times try to put people and relationships in a box..okay..you can only hurt me 3 times..and well that's it..i mean really if you are honest with yourself..we give up on people far to easily...i've guilty..sadly there has been times..i too have played the game of life(baseball)..sadly i must say..but as i am getting older..i do try...it's so hard..our flesh eats at us..and we can give,,and give,,and there are some people who just take,,and take,,or even just don't care...but i am learning..i can't give up..see...if JESUS gave up on us where would we be ???i believe people come into our lives for a reason...what we do with it is in our hands..some are a pleasant memory..and sadly some just plain hurt..some even haunt us in our dreams..are they our thoughts??visions???or is GOD trying to tell us something..maybe something our flesh just won't let us admit....hmmm that just came out of no where..so bare with me...i just write...anyway...as many of you know..i do not have the best relationship with my dad...and well if it wasn't a law to love and obey our parents..well???i'm just being honest..the pain and hurt has been alot..and recently i was reminded by my child..you have to give people another chance.over and over...even if it hurts..JESUS did and still does..we are given new chances everyday...and who is to say one is differnet from another..or one person for that..so as i pondered what my child so kindly and gently reminded me..i realized i had to live the life i try so hard to help other realize...see it is easier to given help and to live what we know..so i allowed my dad to come..now no it was not some like wow!!!miracle..we are healed..but it was a begining..a step..we are both alittle older..wiser i hope??(smile) but it was a start...i think back when Jesus was questioned why He dined with the low lives(as they put it)..and i always remember. .
IF NOT ME..THAN WHO WOULD..WE ALL HAVE A TEACHABLE SPIRIT...WE ARE ALL OUR FATHER'S CHILDREN..NO ONE GREATER THAN ANOTHER..SEE HE LOVES US AS IF WE ARE THE ONLY ONE..
ohh how i long to love and foregive like that...now i am far from perfect..and i fail miserable everyday..but i am growing..and i don't want to play baseball(life like that) any more..and i hope dear friend i have helped you too..life is a game..there is a begining..a middle and an end...we can all finish victorious..if we keep JESUS... LORD OF OUR LIVES... i hope and pray you have...see...life is sooo precious....take a step into faith....and step out of your box..your comfort zone..and love peole for who they are and not for what you want to make them to be...it's that simple..... well...i gotta go...

THE GAME OF LIFE OR CHESS???YOUR CHOICE ....

OKAY DEAR FRIEND...WHERE DO I BEGIN......THE MOST ODD THINGS ARE GOING THREW MY HEAD..SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE HEADS OR TALES OF IT..I KNOW IT'S FOR SOMEONE...
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LIVING THE LIFE OF A BOARD GAME..??? I MEAN REALLY..
OKAY THE GAME OF LIFE"" YOU GET IN A CAR AND TRAVEL AROUND THIS BOARD..DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL OR JUMP STRAIGHT INTO A CAREER..DO YOU HAVE KIDS??YES OR NO..HEY SOMETIMES EVEN TWINS!! WHICH ROAD DO YOU TRAVEL TO GO THREW THIS WHOLE GAME TO REACH THE END WITH REALLY ONLY ONE GOAL IN MIND..TO WIN!!! NO REAL LOGIC..IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT..IT'S LIKE LIVING IN A BOX!! OR SHOULD I SAY A GAME BOARD....IT'S MOSTLY SAFE..BUT IT'S GENERIC..
BUT SEE AT CHESS..IT TAKES TIME..SKILL..REAL THOUGHT..A CONCERTRATION..A DELIBERT (SPELLING..SORRY) MOVE..SEE..WE STILL WANT TO WIN..BUT EVERY MOVE MUST BE WELL THOUGHT OUT..TOO MUCH IS AT STAKE..AND IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL WE CAN LOSE REAL BAD AND REAL FAST..OKAY..YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD..BUT ALSO SIDEWAYS..ISN'T IT FITTING..SEE SOMETIMES IN LIFE WE WANT SO BAD TO RUSH FORWARD TO GET TO THE FINISH(WINNING) LINE..BUT WE GET SIDE TRACKED..BUT SEE IT IS IN TIMES LIKE THESE WE LEARN..WE MUST STRATIZE..NOT IN A BAD WAY..BUT IN A WAY TO STAY ALIVE.....I GUESS WHERE I AM GETTING AT..IS DON'T SETTLE...DON'T LIVE IN THE BOX OR GAMEBOARD YOU THINK YOU MUST JUST TO FIT IN...TO BE SOMEONE YOU THINK EVERYONE WANTS YOU TO BE...LIFE IS LIFE..AND SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS WAITING FOR YOU..YEA..IT MAY TAKE AWHILE..BUT GUESS WHAT... YOU HAVE TO GO FOR IT!!MOVE..IT MAYBE SIDEWAYS OR FORWARD..BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE A STEP OF FAITH AND MOVE!!!!IT WON'T JUST DROP INTO YOUR LAP..SEE SATAN WANTS US TO FAIL..AND HE PUTS SO MUCH CRAP IN OUR HEADS..DON'T FALL INTO HIS TRAP..YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN WHAT YOU WANT..AND I AM SO TRIED OF HEARING PEOPLE SAY THE LORD TOLD ME THIS AND THAT..I'M NOT SAYING HE DIDN'T BUT THINK ABOUT IT..IF IT WERE GOD..AND THEN BAMM IT DOESN'T WORK OR HAPPEN..SO WHAT... WAS GOD WRONG??NO..NO..I DON'T THINK SO..I MEAN REALLY THINK ABOUT IT..WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS GOD TALKING TO YOU WAS PROBABLY YOUR OWN FLESH..GOD IS NEVER WRONG..SADDLY WE WANT SO BAD WE JUMP AND LEAP WITHOUT THINKING...SO I GUESS I AM SAYING IS MAKE EACH MOVE IN LIFE WITH A DETREMINDED APPROACH...WAIT..MAKE SURE ...DON'T LEAP..JUST FOR THE SAKE OF CATCHING UP TO OTHERS IN THE GAME OF LIFE..IN THE END WE WILL ALL FINISH..HOW WE FINISH IS IN OUR HANDS....I WANT TO INTRUST MINE INTO MY FATHER'S HANDS...HE'LL NEVER LEAD ME ASTRAY..WELL....I JUST HOPE SOMEONE TRULEY GETS THIS.....
