Stacey's Daily Walk

This was an eye opener for me.  There is so many things that I want to do, feeling guilty I am not spending enough time with the children; not enough time in prayer, unable to do it all, Impatient because I am not advancing as fast as I would like; Frustrated with my restrictions.  Then I read this morning during my devotions 1 Timothy 4.  This scripture explain to us how to be a good servant for God. Be grateful for where you are in life and be an example to others.

As you begin to look at all the wonderful things you have, you will see how much you are blessed and how much God loves you. We are made in his image and likeness, so if we are made in God’s image we must realize that he wants the best for us.  Why would he wish for us to go trough anything that is not for our Growth.

1 Timothy 4 vs 12 states that we are not to let anyone treat us as unimportant. That is a very strong command.  Be an example to believers with the words that come out of our mouth, our actions – the things we do; our love – do you show unconditional love even to the people that you find hard to show love; our faith – believe God’s word it cannot return void and a pure life – live clean and please your daddy in heaven.  We are not perfect but we are important.

Verse 13 tells us to always read his scriptures until he comes to everyone, strengthen them and teach them.  Use your gift that God gave you to do his work.  With all of this outlined, it is more than enough to keep us throughout each day.  It is a major task but an easy one to accomplish as long as you include God with everything you are doing.  Ask him today…..the simplest of simplest questions.

So after reading this chapter, I realize that I have so much work to do for God.  This is not for me, it is all for the Kingdom of God.  I am learning to be happy where I am because it could be worse; be a blessing to others.  Lets reach out to do something for one person each day. I challenge you and I even challenge myself to write down who you have blessed each day.  God loves us so much. Be happy.

For years I have always had the desire to open and run my own business.  I have gone through so many name changes, transitions, listening to people and not following my heart and not listening to the Lord.  During the beginning of this year, I had so many attacks in my life:  physically, financially, emotionally and more than anything spiritually.  I felt that I kept on going, going, going and try to push through, but I wasn’t accomplishing anything.  The jobs that I were receiving couldn’t really get me back on track and I had my children kept seeing me going through so much pain.  There were times when I felt like running away.

God have put some wonderful people in my life and I am so thankful.  If I didn’t have the love and support from these people, I don’t know how I would have made it through the rough times.  I have been blessed so richly by God with the gifts and talents that he has given me and I am so honored that I have the drive and passion to use those gifts for the Kingdom of God.  The flesh always wants you to think about yourself first and then everyone else after, but with the Kingdom of God, its the opposite.  Thats doesn’t mean that you are not to look after yourself.

I was listening to Dr. Creflo Dollar one day on the TV and he said, stop sitting down and saying I am trying to work on my business, go out and get a job and work on your business on the side.  That opened my eyes.

I am so happy to say that now, I am taking my time and building up Christian Women United In Business and I am also a part of a wonderful ministry…. One Life International which is based in South Africa, but has decided to open a branch here in the US.  As for my Virtual Assistant Business, I love helping people, so I am trying to see how I can incorporate SHARGO with my ministry work.  I have a dream of having SHARGO Enterprise on 15 acres of Land where I will be able to give back to people in need.  There are so many people, children who needs to find their true calling and I want to be able to assist.  There are women who have been abused and don’t know how to get back on their feet and tap into the calling that God has for them.  So many people are suffering and it is time for Gods children to use their calling and gifts to make a difference and assist and help others.

I am slowly finding the path that God wants me to go on.  If God is for you, who can be against you.  Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world.  I am stand on the Word of God.  He will never leave me nor forsake me.

Thank you Daddy.  No one can ever love me like you do.  Thanks for dying for me, thanks for loving me, thanks for holding me in palm of your hands, thanks for knowing everything about me.

Your Daughter

When God has a calling on your life there is nothing that you can do to run from it.  You may think that you are living the good worldly life, but you will return home.  Home means where God wants you to be.  You will know that you have returned home.  You will feel the peace of God with you.

If you continue to fight, God will literally pull the rug from under you and strip you, so that you know that the only person who can help you back up is him.  I have been there.  I put my husband, my father, my work, my life before God and I was literally stripped cleaned.  My husband is miles away, my father does not speak to me, I lost a house, I have gone through several medical ailments, where I was never normally a sickly person and more.  I lost the friends I thought I had and it was just me and God.  All I could do, is cry and lean on him.  Despite what I am going through today, I am in a much better place, because, I have God on my side.  With God on my side, who can be against me.  I am a child of God.  Now I know and I can boldly say that my family and I are covered under the blood of Jesus.

Please listen to the holy spirit.  Be sensitive to the holy spirit.  Obey your calling and surrender to God.  When you walk with God, all his promises apply to you and his word cannot return void.
