Visit March, April and May for prayers and scriptures

and you will find many other tips and quotes. Enjoy!

Nail Polish Tip/Makeup tips/Health

When you are applying your top coat.......apply the tip of each nail with a horizontal swipe. This should allow the tips of your nails not to chip so fast. To keep your nail polish thin and not so thick, keep in your refrigerator.

Use a brush when applying your lipsticks........you will not run out of the lipstick so fast.

You really only need a quarter size drop of shampoo to wash your hair.....most shampoos are concentrated.

Keep your foundation fresher by adding to a sponge or the back of your hand and do not put the left overs back in the bottle. This will keep skin oils out and bacteria. I find it best to place in the palm of my hand a little foundation at a time so there is no waste.

Eat some dried Apricots each day.......dried Apricots have almost twice as much beta carotene in them and our bodies convert Apricots to vitamin A. Wow!

Eat lots of broccoli and your supposed to have a lower risk of colon cancer. I am going to have to get back to broccoli again. I loved broccoli until I was pregnant with my son 20 years ago and I have to make myself eat it now. I have to try harder. SEE how God made our food to heal our bodies? GOD IS SO GREAT. Do some research in the bible and see the foods God wanted his children to eat!

What does your hair color say about you?

Brunettes are seen as confident, blondes are seen as flirtatious and fun and redheads.....are the most intimidating!

Did you know JESUS prayed for YOU before he died?

See John 17:20-26
Jesus loves us so much.......with our finite minds....we will never understand God's love for us...........he sent his only son to die so we can live with him forever in Heaven if we so choose and I do choose to live for Jesus Christ and with him forever and forever and forever. Instructions on how to live with JESUS....read Romans 10:9-13

How does your bank rate?

Visit www.bankrate.com You can scroll down to the questions of how your bank rates and this will give you information. I still think its a great idea to keep some cash on hand and of course your vehicles on full.

Fear

We had a wonderful service yesterday on Fear.........I want to share some of my notes. Facing Fear......hit it head on by the word of God......fear makes our decisions for us. Satan lies about hurry to do this and that....even marriage....these lies even tells us when we are in a relationship or hurrying to find a relationship to marry the first one there may not be another mate in our life....these rush decisions is a push from satan.....(victoria)........We are held in grip of fear and it makes us make bad decisions. When we make decisions in fear we don't make sensible decisions. Our way of thinking is impaired (victoria). Trouble comes our way due to fear (Pastor Matt). I have said for years........DON'T make permanent decisions on temporary situations. Don't make permanent decisions based on fear (Pastor Matt). When we have fear of failure we don't trust ourselves or the Lord. Fear offers bad mistakes. Fear can rip our emotions and it can make us settle for less than what GOD wants for us. LORD, Please protect me from me, (Pam). Here are scriptures for you to review.

Eph: 4 , John 17, 2 Timothy 1:7, Psalm 34:4, Matthew 22, Matthew 21, we are the salt of the earth Matthew 5:13, 2 Corinth. 6:14, Matthew 10:1.

Fear can cause us to settle for second best and God wants us to have the best. Trouble in the world...Jesus has overcome the world. God wants us to overcome! Don't instill fear instill wisdom. Prescription for Fear......If we live on the word.......we do not live in fear! Paul in the Holy Bible calls fear a spirit..........so bind that spirit of fear to the pits of hell where it belongs...in JESUS name. If you think fear is in your mind---you will fight in the natural realm----------fear is a spiritual battle. Don't give satan place in your life and thoughts........bind the bad thoughts in JESUS name to the pits of hell where it belongs. As a born again Christian and believer in God and Jesus Christ, satan has no right over us unless we give into his lies. Don't give satan a legal right yes I said LEGAL right to come over you or in your life. Shut the door of fear! Heal me Lord from all my fears in Jesus name, Amen.

Don't operate your life in fear. Fear is satan. Step out of fear into faith.

Recheck your daily lifestyles. Are they pleasing to JESUS? Even hording up is fear. BELIEVE THE WORD MORE THAN your feelings...........LIVING IN FAITH leaves no room for fear!

Give your worries to Jesus and you will have comfort.

Tips worth knowing

When you receive catalogs and toss them out....be sure to take out the order form and back page and shred.........that has information already on their computers and if you reorder a lot of companies keep your credit card on file.......anyone can order.

It really works.......if you start a kitchen fire on your burners due to oil spill, etc. take vinegar and pour on a kitchen towel and ring out..........go through the area waving the towel and your odor will vanish almost to nothing.......this really works...

If you have a fire from oil on your electric burner........grab your flour and it will put out the flame........but hurry because the fire will spread very fast without the flour.

Painting? Use a cap full of vanilla into one gallon of paint and you will not smell the harsh odors of paint. This really works. All my tips do!
