LESSONS LEARNED!
Looking back over a half a century of lessons learn. Knowing my Lord God loved me with all his heart. To be patent and loving me when he had to discipline me. It was for my own good to learn these lesson well. For my Heavenly Father has plan my future that I could not foresee nor understand at all.
Just as a Father and Mother teaches their children about Life’s Lesson, to be sure they had learn the lesson well there had to be discipline in learning what they had done wrong. The crying and asking forgiveness comes forth from understanding the lesson well. Looking back and seeing my grandfather give me his advise in writing, don’t forget the bad things that has happen to you, go back over the bad and see where you can change it for good. Not understanding at that time, why I needed to find the good out of all the bad that had taken place in my life.
That is where my Heavenly Father came to my rescue and taught me to survive when I wanted to die. He held me in his arms when I could not walk on my own, letting me spill out all that was going on in my life, he listen to my hearts desire told me not to worry that he has a plan for my life. Tenderly wiping all the tears away and telling me Its ok, I am not alone and that His perfect will, will come to past in my life. All I need to do was trust him as he leads me into that direction with correction to that perfect plan. Looking back once again at the bad. I can see where all the good came out it. It strength me and showed me compassion for those that are going through the same bad that I had come out of. My mothers death was not in vain, her love lived on in me, and taught me how to forgive and not place blame on others as to how she died, but to remember how she lived and part of her, lives on in me. I could not have lived my life in the way God had intended me to live it without going through those hard lessons of life. Even those times I had left my Lord on the back shelf and tried to live a life apart from Him.
Those are the days I had made so many mistakes with so many lessons, that I refused the correction. So many tears over the harm I have caused others that I can never have the chance to explain to them how sorry and wrong I was. For their lives had been so hurt and broken over the unkind words I spoke to them. They have cut them selves off from me. Never allowing me to tell them how much I love them and miss them in my life.
Those lives are my 2 brothers who I have not seen in years. They refuse to talk to me and have disown me from their family. There is no one to blame but me for the wrong I caused them. Time has a way of healing all wounds, but time has stood still with my brothers who refused to forgive me and give me another chance. Then another lesson will be learned when I can have that chance back and give them a hug. And tell them how wrong I was! For now they have been put in my Heavenly Father’s hands for I have to let go and let God deal with them in his own way to soften their hearts towards me. So someday they will return to me with open arms and we can repair the broken hearts towards one another.
What lesson have you learn by all that you read?
As for me I am still learning these lessons!

This just came in my email this morning. God's timing is ever so right!
April 22 - Light Comes
Light Comes
God At Eventide
"Lord, show me Thyself" is a cry that never goes unanswered.
Not to physical vision comes the awareness, but to spiritual insight, as more and more you realize My Love, My Power and the manifold wonders of My character.
Its Humility, its Majesty, its Tenderness, its Sternness, its Justice, its Mercy, its Healing of sore wounds, and its consuming Fire.
Man turns to books, he studies theology, he seeks from other men the answer to life's riddles, but he does not come to Me.
Is there a problem?
Do not worry over its solution.
Seek Me. Live with Me. Talk to Me. Company with Me, daily, hourly. Lo, suddenly you see.
blessings to you and yours this day and always ...

Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25
As in the above All God the Father wants us to do is to come to him not only In time of need, but everyday to seek him.
Even when we are in our mother’s womb God had all ready a plan for our lives! He knew us before we were ever born, how awesome is that!
From the day of our birth, we learn to love our earthy Father and Mother, and as we grow older we are discipline and taught right from wrong. Because we love them we allow that correction in our lives to give us direction for our paths.
But then you say, well I was not raised to follow after God, and my folks were not the best parents in the world, you have no idea the hell they put me through. Yes I do, I was not raised in a Christian home I was not taught to follow after Jesus!
God does understand for he is your Heavenly Father! He is calling you today, to come to him he will take you in his open arms and love you!
And as we ask Jesus in our life remember on the cross he took the beatings and he was spit on and despised by many. He died for us and by His Blood he took all our sins with him! He took the blame for all our sins! All we have to do is believe he did this with child like faith and repent and lay our lives down and pick up the cross of Jesus and follow him! How hard is that! His promise to us we have eternity in Heaven with our Father who created us and this universe!
In my own life, my relationship with my earthly father was not a bed of roses. For the first 9 years of my life, I was the middle child, I was the one that was sick all the time.
Money was tight, and I can remember my mother counting pennies to roll to pay for my medication. Anything that went wrong I was the one to blame, I was the one that had to stand in the corner for hours at a time. Then daddy came home from work, off came the belt! I was punished a lot for things that were not of my doing. It was either my older sister at fault or my younger sister or all three of us were in on. But I took the blame.
My guess to all of this is my father resented me for being sick all the time. Then my brother was born when I was nine years old. All the attention went to him.
As I got older it got worst, Sometime in November before my mother’s death, My dad beat me so bad that my mother pulled him off of me and told me to leave. I was by the door, and out I went, no coat and scared to death.
I had no understanding what I had done wrong? I was 17 years old, what did I say or do that was so wrong to deserve this beating? Had my mother not stepped in when she did, God only knows what could have happen.
All I did was come into the house after school, my older sister was waiting on my younger sister to get ready for work, since she was driving her to work. I had to go over to the YWCA and drop off some money for a fundraiser I was doing. All I ask was if you could give me a ride? Her response to this was: What am I a taxi driver?
That is when my dad flew off the handle and came at me. I did nothing wrong.
I walked to my friends house, no one was home so I walked downtown, I was freezing to death, I had some change in my pocket and called another friend and she was not home.
I stood on a corner and I seen my older sister coming back home, she seen me and stopped to pick me up. There were no words really spoken and she knew I could not go home until dad had left for work. So we just drove around for a hour.
When I got home, my mother never said a word, I just went upstairs to run a bath, and go to bed, I was hurting really bad. It was when I took my clothes off that I seen the burses on my chest. I had gym the next day, how was I to hid those bruises? I could not talk to anyone as to what happen, why because deep down I loved my dad and I knew my mother did as well. I could not report this. I found a way out of gym and swim class.
Not another word was ever spoken about this every again. Not a word from my dad as well. Life went on. But the bitterness started to set in with my father.
Then December 16, 1975 I lost my mother due to my dad accidental shooting.
That I spoke about in Our Father. By then more bitterness set into my heart. I was one angry person on a whirlwind of hurt.
The year before a few days before my 16th birthday I was raped. I never told my folks, but my Best Friend Becky went to her uncle and got me help and her uncle went to my folks and told them what happen. My dad at first of course blame me and that I had to be at fault, my mother stood up to him and loved me. I was sent away for the summer to spend time with there friends Betty and her Husband.
They knew what happen but I kept it bottle up inside of me. So by the time of my mother’s death I was like a tornado out of control. It took finding God and finding myself and who I am to unleashed these hurts to my heavenly Father for me to become the person I am today. The reason why is this I learn to forgive my earthly Father and get rid of that anger, the guilt and fear that was eating me up inside, The times I tried to kill myself God would not let me die, why? Because he had a plan for my life!
Now that we are adults we no longer need to listen to our folks you say. Wrong, they have wisdom to pass down to you and to help you through adult hood. That is why the Bible teaches us to Honor our Father and Mother! When we can honor them, then we are old enough to Honor God and allow his correction in our lives that gives us direction to the plan he has laid out for us!

April 22 -2009 Complain Not - Laugh
God Calling
Trust in Me. Do as I say each moment and all indeed shall be well. Follow out My commands: Divine control, unquestioning obedience -- these are the only conditions of supply being ample for your own needs and those of others.
The tasks I set you may have seemingly no connection with supply. The commands are Mine and the supply is Mine and I make My own conditions, differing in each case -- but in the case of each disciple, adapted to the individual need.
Have no fear, go forward. Joy -- radiant Joy must be yours. Change all disappointment, even if only momentary, into Joy. Change each complaint into laughter.
Rest -- Love -- Joy -- Peace -- Work, and the most powerful of these are Love and Joy.
"Serve the Lord with gladness....be thankful unto him, and bless his name." Psalm 100:2, 4
blessings to you and yours this day and always ...

Even when we go through those hard times and life’s lesson come at us full force. Remember not to complain but go through them with joy in your heart and with God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit! That is how you overcome them and learn those lessons well.
For this is what God had been teaching me for over 20 some years!
Now I understand why God had woke me up at 1 am to come down stairs and get on the computer and write the lessons learned. Again I had not clue what I was writing until I was done, All I had was 2 words that came to me Lessons Learned! Once I was obedience and type those words the rest just flowed from my being. God supplied the words to my mind and out of love for my Heavenly Father I have typed them out.
I got a few hours sleep, then got online and checked my email, What a joy to see this, and know that I know that God is Speaking to me as I had wrote the lessons learned out of the obedience he shows me his conformation. How loving and caring is my Lord God all mighty!
Learn how to allow the Holy Spirit to teach you all things!

and even as it has taught you,
you shall abide in him.
