Happy 1st Day Of Fall, My Favorite Season

Well, today ushers in my favorite season. That is Fall. I would be so happy if I were able to live 24/7 in Fall. If I had to choose a second favorite season it would be Spring but my all-time favorite is Fall. What about you? What is your favorite season? Where I live the leaves area beginning to turn color and I stopped today to take a picture of their beauty to share just with you. I am blessed to live in a region that when the leaves turn in their fullness of beauty it will be a sight so appealing to the senses. To see them up close or in the distance. I just know where I will be heading in a few weeks to the mountains. There is something spectacular about the scent that wafts in the air of the aroma of Fall and then the senses become more alive as you are able to take in the beauty of the breath-taking view of the trees in full color. Oh how I love Fall. Enjoy your first day of Fall too.

My creative picture artwork fits in with the Fall theme what do you think

ODDLY ENOUGH, THIS IS THE SONG I AWOKE TO PLAYING IN MY MIND THURSDAY MORNING 9/15/11;, Kiss the Girl - The Little Mermaid (1989)

For whatever reason, this is the song I awoke to on Thursday morning that was playing in my mind. Do you ever wake up with a song playing inside of you? They usually are praise or worship songs that this happens with. I felt led to share it with you on Thursday. I never got around to it so I woke up Friday with the same intent. Time did not permit me to do so. I was gently reminded today to share it with you. Enjoy it, you see, even in cartoon movies true love wins. You gotta love a happy ending right.

Can You Kick Up Your Prayer Power A Notch, The Wheels Are Starting To Churn. Thank You So Very Much

Good day to you all. I am most thankful that there are those that will step forward and pray for others. Prayer is a good thing and a very good thing at that too. One cannot make it on their own without enlisting others to help them when prayer is needed. It is the proud person that thinks they can make it on their own to only find out that their pride was the very thing that kept them from attaining all that God had in store for their life. As I stated in my title today, the wheels are starting to churn. God does not just have a concern for your immediate plan in life He will also reveal to you what the future plans He has for you also. When you let go and let God create He is not in the business of just creating for the here and now He creates everything. Be open to His leading not in just today but let Him speak to your heart about tomorrow, next year and so forth.
I want to share a testimony with you today...When God places you somewhere He will cause you to flourish in that very position. It is not about the pay, hourly rate or salary you are receiving, if you think it is solely in that you are mistaken. When He places you somewhere you will flourish and not only that the co. you work for will flourish also. There may be a whole organization filled with unbelievers. There may be believers amongst the employees also. There may even be believers that say they are believers but if you observe their words, manners, actions you will find that they truly believe they are a believer but only God can judge that. Do not judge them for Jesus died for all so that we do not have to suffer in hell for all eternity. Your job is to not be concerned with their actions but to go to work and produce for your employer. There may be one or many that may be relaxing in their performance of duties but you do not follow the tide you stay firm and continue to bless your employer. That is biblical and God honors and blesses that.
Ethics are very important not just in your career life but in your life. If you say you are going to do something then do it. If you commit to something and others try to add more onto you or change the original commitment then you have to also stand up with love in your words and humility in your heart and say that is not what I agreed to. Do not back down for if you are stepping into areas that God did not open for you or call you to then you jeopardize the plan in your life. Why would you keep digging the same hole when you already hit the bottom and there is nothing to dig? Just for the sake of saying you are digging a hole? That makes no sense does it? The same with getting off of God's path for your life. People will try to take you from destiny because they do not want you to attain the greatness God has in your life. You see, they may not do it with malice in their heart. Does that make sense? Don't give in when God is not saying to go that route. Your first and only allegiance is to God, your creator, your defender, the one who knows you better than even you do.
I accepted a position with a company in April. When you show yourself to be diligent at work and to give it your best and follow through with integrity God will shine upon you. He really will. Not to swell your head or anything like that His grace and favor will be with you. It is not about you it is about Him in your life getting the glory for what He is doing. They ran a productivity report from January through July, now remember I just started in April. I ranked third in productivity. From that point forward they run a productivity report more frequent, I have been ranking 2nd in productivity. The most exciting report to me was a recent one. It is not about the actual  number it is all about how close I was to the top producer with the co. They have been top producer consistently. I will not disclose actual figures to you I will just give you an example and you will see how close I trailed...to God be the glory. For the sake of this writing we will use these fictitious figures, top producer 0.25 mine 0.22. Do you see how close it was? Only God can get the glory for this.
A circumstance arose and I wanted to so badly say that if we worked just a little bit harder we could have completed a project we were working on. Instead of taking my focus off of my working and transfering my efforts into speaking this to them I chose to continue to keep on being diligent and not stop. It paid off, right to the very end. Sure enough in the final moments of the day I could have taken the time to express my thoughts, I didn't and I continued on and reached someone I was not able to reach earlier that day and sure enough I was able to complete another task before the end of my day. I was then able to know that I attained my own personal goal for that day's work. I am so glad I did not meddle and kept doing what I was paid to do. Giving it my best and not quiting or giving up. The type of work I am in I have found it is best to set your own goals each day. If you do not attain it yesterday then you work harder today to get what you did not get yesterday along with what you want to achieve today does that make sense.
God is awesome. You do not have to be in a high paying job to attain this. If you cultivate this type of work ethic in your lower salary, bracket position God knows that you will follow through in the higher paying positions also. Never let go of integrity or giving your employer all that you have to give in the work day for they are paying you to produce for them. Do not take for granted your employer for I am sure (in my heart)that they just know the employees that are sincere and are thankful to have work. You are to bless your employer with diligent work, strong work ethics, and you should be a blessing to them. If you worked for them as if you were working for God would you slack off, waste the day away with mindless stuff? God knows all, at all times, and sees all at all times too. Never despise your small beginnings for if you are faithful in the small things He will get to you the large things for He sees your character and the fruit that comes forth in your life. God is good all the time isn't He!

I Need Prayer Can You Help Me Please?

I am at a strategic crossroad in my life right now and I could use your prayer PLEASE. As you have seen throughout the days, months, and even years of viewing my blog, I do have talent and a heart to serve. I need to now place all that God has gifted me with in the arena of transferring it to employment. How will this happen? I have no idea but I do know that God creates opportunities and opens doors just created for that person to walk through. He connects people with other people to make it happen with the guidance of His hand. Do you believe that God does this? He does and has done this numerous times in my life, He really has. For some reason He likes to wait for just the right moment in my life to bring the glory right to Him. He is the one that connects hearts and people and situations to walk right into. I could go on and on and on listing these very events in my life He really does concern Himself with His people.
This is what I am up against...I have a matter of a few weeks to seek/secure a position which would allow me a higher income bracket to be in. You see, my mother is moving to this area and it is my responsibility to find housing for us. Her heart's desire is to be in the same region as both of her remaining children that are alive. I had two brothers that I have mentioned in previous writings that are no longer alive. God honors the prayers of mother's. He is really opening the doors for this move to take place on her end. I know He is a miracle creator and if He is opening the doors on her end He will surely open them on my end as well. For whatever reason He likes to bring me right to the edge when He is about to create in my life, He really does. I guess I have cultivated faith in my life enough so that He knows I will reflect back upon the numerous times He has come through in my life in a mighty way that there is never any doubt that it was Him orchestrating it all along. Let me tell you this, "standing on the edge" faith can be exhilarating and testing all at the same time. You see, it starts out as little faith in something you are believing in at first, then it happens. Then the next step in faith increases and continues to increase each time you are about to step into a closer portion of the plan of God for you very life.
Never look back on the simple faith beginnings in your life but always look upon them with tenderness and gratitude for it was that very simple first step in faith that has now brought you to your greater step in faith that you are experiencing right now or you will one day. In the meantime I have been searching for homes to rent in various areas along with my steady search for employment. Do not think that you will just wake up one day and boom it happens...faith is an action word. Part of the faith growing process is the fun you can have in the process. Each time you apply for a position, that may be the very one that God has in store for you. Every time you search out that home that may be or it may not be the very place for you. In this action process you are then weeding out the places you know are not for you and you will even find yourself just knowing when speaking with an interviewer that that is not the position for you. In those instances you can check them off of your list and move on.
Let me share this with you on the receiving end of the faith miracle in your life. When the job is just right and it is with the hand of God upon it, it will be so right you will just feel it deep down inside you really will. The position may be a challenge in your life but everything you put towards that challenge God will bless. So much so will He bless it that even when you leave that particular position people will still try to contact you to do business even months and years later. That in hindsight was God letting you know that He placed you there in that position to begin with. The same in the search for your home. There will be such a sense of peace and joy within you that you just know that is the place. You see, there are usually others that are connected with your miracle in faith. God knows the future and neighbors that live in the very neighborhood right now and neighbors to move into the neighborhood where He will place you. The same in reference to your job. He knows the very people you will be able to touch and reach out to with the love of Jesus inside of you. Some may be with just a smile or simple word of encouragement; some with acts of kindness; some may need prayer one day and you have the very faith to pray for that person; some may need salvation in their life or the life/lives of their loved ones. Trust in Jesus and let Holy Spirit lead you and you will attain what God has in store for you. Thank you in advance for your prayer.

I Sing Praises To Your Name!
