Dreams

When I have nothing to do, I think myself out, walking down a long winding Curvacious road of unborn dreams. My eyes are upon the beauty of God's creation. I see life in the trees, flowers, leaves and sunshine. I feel the cool warm wind gently touch my face. I'm happy, I feel no conflicts. I walk in unborn dreams, hoping for their birth. But, until then "Dear Lord" please don't take these dreams from me. Vikki D. AKA Victoria B.

My mother had saved this poem I wrote that appeared in the High School Newspaper.

Praise Report

It has been so long since I have posted. I had my surgery, a D&C and another procedure and I am cancer free....Praise JESUS........I don't have to go back until one year for my annual exam. JESUS is the great physician.....our healer.....he hears our prayers. He knows our heart. I want the world to know JESUS answered my prayers and he will answer everyone's prayer that is faithful to him. Thank you Heavenly Father, for my great results and for me going into surgery and all was well......No infection, just great news. It was my prayer and faith in JESUS CHRIST that brought on this great report.....you never leave us and you are always doing great things for us.....when we love and follow you Lord.........My prayer is that all come to know the love of JESUS CHRIST...In JESUS name I pray, Amen.

Loving Material Things

I admit that I always loved and still do pretty and nice things. I still do but I don't get in debt to have things. Tag sales are a great way to buy. I knew every designer.......wore the designer clothes and shoes.....I did buy most on sale...still I knew the men's designers and had to have a man that wore Italian shoes.......and he needed to have a great car. When I rededicated my life to Jesus in 2001 I looked for the man who loved Jesus Christ. Today I am still single and that is fine with me. A few nights ago I went with a friend of mine that I used to date. Yes he is a Christian and a very great man. I went to see the home he purchased at a great price. He was diving a different vehicle. We visited on the way to see his home and when I got out of the vehicle for me to look around I noticed that he was in a Mercedes.........I told him I did not realize he was driving a Mercedes. I enjoyed our conversation so much. So I laughed and said LET ME TAKE THIS IN.....Praise JESUS.........there was a time I would not have even gotten into a wrecked or messed up vehicle........I always felt that the person had their priorities different than I wanted to live .........I thought I was really something.........but I am nothing without Jesus Christ...........I am proud of me.......I am not the way I used to be. When we are saved we become different. He even said he would trade his vehicle for mine. My sweet blessed Corolla. I am happy I said no....there would have been a time I would have said yes on the spot.........now mind you, his vehicle is an older model but its still a Mercedes.

It was funny to watch my son crawl on the floor while I am dragging my leg away from him as he begged me to take the Mercedes. I am mature and know what life is really about! I am so glad I am me now. Thank you JESUS that you showed me the material things don't matter........I took myself away from material things and I have my eyes to what is right .........my eyes are set on you JESUS.........this is what life is really all about.....JESUS CHRIST. I pray if you do not know him you will find him.....for instructions see Romans 10:9-13.......Jesus is waiting for you to call on him......he will never leave you.

UNFORGIVENESS

Hurts and wounds in our hearts.........we have all had them. BUT....there is freedom, joy, and blessings when we forgive who has hurt us. There is pain involved......but in order for us to have blessings and forgiveness from GOD we have to forgive. True forgiveness is: I release you from the courtroom of my mind and I am making a promise that I will release this to GOD and you will have to take this up with GOD.~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Release the person from debt.~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

I know when I have had trouble forgiving people, I have asked GOD to forgive me and I tell him that I want to forgive this person but I am having trouble right now and I ask JESUS to please let me see this person through his eyes......I keep praying and trying my best to look at them through God's eyes......and I do finally forgive........and I feel so much better.........the person who has hurt me is not suffering like I am........they have probably forgotten exactly what they said or did to me or maybe they never even knew I was hurt.

SOME doctors believe that back pain is due to unforgiveness.......my goodness........and to me this does make sense. When we have anger in our bodies we are in turmoil, and that has to be hard on our bodies. We will have pain........Victoria B.

What if God only forgave us on how we forgive others? Do not hold grudges.~~Nancy DeMoss

Impact on the daily life of a unforgiving person. Lines on the face, unforgiveness shows in our faces. Hardness and anger. Chronic depression is the result of unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is something we pass on to our children. To be free emotionally....forgive the person who has hurt you. PURCHASE CHOOSING FORGIVENESS by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Visit her website at:

When old wounds are opened again......continue to walk in forgiveness. If you are being abused....then you should call the police.....do not stay in harms way...Victoria B.

Forgiveness is not a feeling.~~Nancy DeMoss.
We ask JESUS to forgive us.....and he will and we will be free. It may take time but keep praying for the hurt to go away and it will. Jesus knows our hearts. He knows if we want to forgive and he will help us and bless us.

When we can't forgive ourselves......we are really saving GOD can't forgive me or I am bigger than GOD.....but GOD says receive my forgiveness by faith and believe you are forgiven.~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
