DISORDER

Webster says about clutter: to run in disorder, a crowded or confused mass or collection; to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things that impede movement or reduce effectiveness. My goodness!

I was working on reducing clutter today in my bathroom shelves and wanted to share with you LIFE IN CLUTTER! When I was working I usually had a secretary and they would help me so much. You get spoiled with having help or I did. Since my injury I have had to try and have order with my things in my home and car all by myself and I will tell you that was so very hard for me and trying to take care of my son plus learning one plus one again. I do really great with my car but it does need to be cleaned by dusting and I need to vacuum this week...so tiring on me though....as for my home or palace I like to call it....(our homes are supposed to be our HAVENS) I am just now getting a handle from the last five years to be in ORDER. I stayed very upset and sad when my home was "out of order". Yet, I was not able to do it all.....now I am pacing myself and I am not having to clean up after anyone but myself. To take the time to hit every area of your home and every corner; to put everything in a place......to lay down at night seeing the work you have done to make your home inviting for you and others.......is wonderful.

I feel so much better having order........things in their place, except I find a place and then can't remember where I put them but that is fine and a good exercise for me each day....lol. I would have many papers and books and my office now in my second bedroom, has clutter but not too bad. I need a filing cabinet although I don't rememeber how to file........but I could put things in the file to hide until I use again.....I am always using notebooks and bibles and reading and I go back and forth to research and study....so I will be working on getting my notebooks and books in place because I go through them all the time....all the rest of my home is clean and clutter free......it took a lot of work and me working on this for almost 8 weeks.......not that is was that bad but because I had to have the energy to finish the work which in housekeeping is all the time....less work if you are alone.

God/Jesus loves order......he wants us to take care of ourselves and our things so we can focus more on him and not the mess in our homes, cars or lives........he wants us to call on him more and study and read the word more so we can hear him. When a person likes things in order like I do.....the least bit of clutter really wears on us and our focus is the mess we have to deal with which in turn for me means spending less time in the Holy Bible. I have to take things in small doses now and I have to work on one thing at a time getting to order. I am so proud of myself for being able to man this palace and I can tell you I am less stressed in my home...(I have only a 2-bedroom condo)....I feel so good waking up to a clean kitchen and all rooms clean....I still have to dust and do all the things that I get out of order but I am learning TOUCH SOMETHING only once. I wish I had been taught that when I was growing up then I would have had no clutter ever. Below are scriptures that I believe you will enjoy on clutter and will get you closer to working on your home and things in your life.

Psalm 44:15 "My confusion is continually before me".

I Corinthians 14:33 "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace".

2 Peter 2:19 "They promise them freedom, while themselves are slavesof depravity~~for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him". Clutterd sure mastered me!

Hebrews 12:11 "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it".

I promise if you work on getting rid of the clutter in your car or home.........you will feel much better and be more able to enjoy time in the Holy Bible and in life. Of course as always be saved by JESUS. Disorder can cause us to make bad decisions I believe because if we are cluttered in one part of our lives....I do believe we are cluttered in all areas.........praying for each of you.....YOU CAN DO IT GET YOUR HOME IN ORDER!.....Victoria

Do you know that JESUS records your tears?

"Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll, are they not in your record"? Psalm 56:8
How precious that JESUS records our tears and they are on record. When you are crying he is with you.....you mean so much to JESUS that he records your tears....he understands your heartache.......I hope this will be comfort for those in they valley right now. I can promise you if you serve JESUS CHRIST...he will restore you. For those that are broken right now with holidays on the way.......JESUS is with you and will not leave you. Open the Holy Bible and read so you can hear him.........Blessings to you today and I am praying for all that is in sorrow right now. The word "lament" means sorrow and grieving. JESUS knows your pain. No one can give you JOY except JESUS and he will if you will lean to him. Love you all! V

Heaven

The Lord just put this on my mind. For those that have lost a child, family member or friend.........trust please when I tell you this.......if they could talk to you from Heaven, they would tell you to live for JESUS so you can join them and they would tell you to enjoy life and if they had the chance to come back on this earth........even though they love you....they would not because being with JESUS is the greatest. There is JOY in your sorrow.......if you look at their life this way. My mother loved us but would not want to come back to this earth after being with JESUS.......they love where they are! I pray you rest in peace tonight and awake in the morning knowing that JESUS' mercies are new each day. You can live with comfort knowing your loved one is very very happy.

Joel 2:25

"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten--the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm, my great army that I sent among you".

I hear so many stories and such heartache..we all go through it because God says it will rain on the just (Christians/followers of JESUS CHRIST) and the unjust (those who do not follow Jesus).

Praise JESUS he heals the brokenhearted....he loves us so very much. What ever trial you are going through.......you will get to the rainbow........like a Pearl.......The Oyster mends itself with a pearl....I have sure known heartache.......I will give you a list of things JESUS has healed me from. I want you to know to put your HOPE IN JESUS.....I promise, you will overcome..........I know some of you have horrible heartache.......so for anyone that has lost a loved one, be it child or adult.......I found this scripture in my bible one day....

Isaiah 7:1,2. "The righteous pass away; the GODLY often die before their time (children too), and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For the Godly who die rest in peace".

I wrote this again today for anyone that has faced death.....I am so sorry but I can tell you JESUS is with you and if you love him and serve him, he will never leave you. You may never understand why.......just like I don't understand about my mom's sickness and early death.....but I know she is in heaven with JESUS.....and JESUS is carrying me and all of us. Take your sorrow to JESUS and stand on scriptures of comfort. We are only here for such a brief time and then we will be with our loved ones forever. It is also comforting to know that JESUS has great mercy........for our loved ones that left to be with him.

Praise Report Today

I was out getting things before the scheduled rain this evening. I had many stops and did really great today. I went to Sam's to pick up my salad and a few things and left happy! I went across town to the service station. I went into my handbag to get my wallet and it was gone.........I was in panic.........I looked all through the car........I was devasted.......that wallet had everything.....things I would not even remember.........so I started praying and I was praying in tongues.......driving fast, shame on me..... I was just going to tell the policeman to follow me if I was stopped........I got in Sam's, went to the customer service counter and asked if someone had turned in a black wallet...........YES, Praise JESUS.......and that is what I said in that store....I did not care who heard me .....I saw people just looking at me really funny.Thank you JESUS........when we serve you and surrender to you.....YOU TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING IN OUR LIVES. I gave a big hug to the lady and just now called the store for the manager to let her know what a great deed the lady did for me. She was so excited to hear the news she is going to give a special announcement at the employee meeting.........I also have asked JESUS to bless her in abundance.......I know he will. I went to my car just crying.......first that JESUS handled it for me and second for the nice sales clerk cared enough to make sure got my wallet back.

I hope that when someone has done a great thing for you or nice deed.......that you will take the time and call their boss......or hug them and thank them.......in today's time I find it hard to shop where I am appreciated and the same in return, I am sure the sales clerks get a lot of complaining people over prices...... PLEASE be kind to the people who do service things for you........it will make their day and JESUS will smile at you! Don't forget...if you let JESUS take care of you.........the great I AM .....will! Have a great week and thank JESUS for all your blessings seen and unseen.

Happy September

"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake I am still with thee". {Psalm 139:17,19}

We serve such a mighty GOD........who thinks of us every split second. I don't know anyone that could ever do that in human form. What confidence we should have that our Lord never stops thinking about us and is always waiting for us to talk to him and ask him into our hearts.....to ask him for a closer relationship with him........he has gifts he wants to give us we just have to ask.........that he loves us more than a father could ever love us...........because our fathers are human.......GOD IS SUPERNATURAL.........GOD IS SO BIG..........yet so kind and gentle.........he gives us the HOLY SPIRIT when we become saved.........our comforter............that each day we should be able to take some time for JESUS that died for us........that God loves us so very much.....that we go into a private room and bow to him giving him glory for WHO HE IS THE GREAT "I AM". He longs to have us love him and serve him.........I know if you have children, work in the home or out of the home life can be very busy and for those that have cell phones constantly on........you usually have now a more high stress level..........THE KING OF PEACE.........LORD OF LORDS.........wants to have some time with us. When you feel unloved.....open the Holy BIble.........and read comforting scriptures........most bibles have in the back an index that lists subjects for you to read in an instant..........don't run to your friends, neighbor or spouse........go to JESUS first....he can do far more than anyone you are close to here on earth........put your faith and confidence in him and always, always remember our GOD never ever stops thinking about us.........now that is what I call attention. I pray you have a wonderful week in the Lord. Victoria
