Revelation 12:10-11
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives to the death.
I know how it feels to have a family member have nothing to do with you, because my mom wants nothing to do with me. At first I felt as if I did something wrong, the Lord showed me that I did nothing wrong. I started to see that I was feeling sorry for myself and depression was setting in and that's when that old snake came in and started to accuse. Just like the Scripture says, he is the accuser of the brethren. I have also noticed that during this time all my focus was on me and I gave the devil foot hold for guilt and shame. The Lord showed me that I need get my focus back on Him, and start remembering what He did for me. He went to the Cross for the guilt and shame. In Romans 8:1 it says, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
The Scripture that I opened up with has a promises in it and that is, that the accuser of the brethren will be cast down, it's a promises that we can stand on.
I have seen that life is too short for me to worry about that person wanting nothing to do with me. I know that my heavenly Father loves me and that's all all that matters.

Isaiah 40:12
Isaiah 40:12
"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and hills in a balance?
The Lord is good all the time. As I read through Chapter 40 the Lord showed me, compared to Him the Nations are truly just a drop in the bucket. In Isaiah 40:22 it says, It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in. I wonder if all of us could wrap our minds around this if we would pray differently, with more boldness? I can just see the Lord sitting above the circle hearing our prayers and answering all of them. What a gracious GOD we serve.

I am Learning!
Philippians 4:12
I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
I did something that I didn't think I would have to do since I started to drive, walk to the store to pick up a few things for dinner. I have been driving since Charisse was about 6 months old and before driving I took the bus everywhere or walked. But today I had to make a choice, either walk to the store or don't go to Church, I probably would go to Church with Charisse of course. As I was walking to the store I was thinking, "I feel as if I've been reduced to not driving to the store," but I really had to stop myself from thinking like that. I started to think about Philippians 4:12, Paul learned how to be in want and to have everything, I'm learning the same. I went from having a DVR to no cable, but they're just material things, aren't they? The Lord said that these things will just fade and shatter. As I was walking home from the store I looking at the beautiful mountains and got me thinking ( you do a lot of thinking when walking) the Lord spoke all this into existence, there is nothing too impossible for Him.
When I was walking to the store there's a few things that I like about walking:
1. I get see a lot more then if I was driving.
2. I get to talk to people about the Lord, and that's exciting.
3. I don't have to pull over for the Fire trucks and Ambulance's.

Which Concerns Me!
WHICH CONCERNS ME!
Psalm 138:8
The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Lately I've been seeing what concerns me and what I just don't understand. What really concerns me is how my parents are toward me, my mother hasn't spoke to me since before Thanksgiving and my father not calling me to see if I got the funds for what I needed them for. I was thinking if Charisse came to me for help and I haven't heard from her I would be calling her in a heart beat. The Lord has been showing me a lot, like they're not saved and need to pray for their Salvation, the other thing that the Lord showed me is that my father doesn't really like me I've known this for awhile I guess I've been living in denial. I will always love my parents and honor them but I will never understand what they do. But I do know this, that the KING, KING JESUS knows all, my Heavenly Father likes me and loves me so very much. This and other stuff in my life concerns me and He will perfect that which concerns me. I believe whatever concerns me concerns Him and He will not forsake the works of His hands in my life with the things I've been called to, He will raise me up not man.
I have given everything which concerns me to the Lord and He will take care of everything.
The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
