Dont Break Under Pressure

At any point, we can break under pressure, but God always know how much pressure to apply in order to continue the process of conforming his children into the image of Christ.

If it had not been for His presence through the Holy Spirit, prayer and his Word, the pressure would have drove me crazy and possibly driven me to complain but Im learning to lean and listen out for that small still voice that reminds me, "Dana, Im so near."

Trusting God sonetimes will make you look crazy to the onlookers but you continue to hold on to God's unchanging hands.

When He blesses us, its not just for us. God is a Giver; therefore, what He has planned will also bless the lives of others and depending in the size of the blessing, you must learn how to wait for the super-sized blessing.

The fact that God would even promise us anything is humbling. The idea of Him keeping his word is baffling considering He owes us nothing and yet the greatest promise that ever came to fruition was that of His Son.

Father, your promises are worth waiting for....I will work while you are preparing and setting things in order. You are a God of order and I trust you and the process you have for me to go through.

In Jesus's name I pray, Amen!😇

No Room For Excuses!

There was this young woman diagnosed with leukemia and she spent a considerable amount of time in cancer treatment facilities. Everyone that came in contact with this young lady always referred to her as remarkable, and resilient. It baffled them how she was able to keep such a sweet spirit considering all she has endured. The doctors and medical specialists couldn't understand it. When they would shake their heads, she opened her heart and then began to testify of God's goodness in the midst of the storm. When the doctors came in with some "bad news" she was quick to tell them about the hope she had in Christ Jesus. Again, they couldn't understand how she could believe in a God that allowed her to experience so much suffering. Politely she would explain that her suffering is not a death sentence or a reflection of God's lack of love for her. In her suffering she experiences the grace of God that others in her weakness may witness His strength. ...

Diamonds, there was a young person a part of her church's youth group and she shared that she wanted a job in a strip club. "The strip club," they asked? "Yes, the strip club. There is a job opening as a cook and while I'm there I want to share the gospel with the strippers," she explained to her youth group. Well, her youth leader, along with her youth group carpooled to the strip club and prayed over the building in the dead of winter. They then proceeded by writing her work sc hedule down after she got the job and when she was scheduled to work, they each agreed to pray. After the young person ministered to the other young women in the strip club and introduced them to Jesus Christ, they responded by coming into the church, giving their lives to Christ and made the decision to change occupations. What an awesome testimony of God's love, light, and grace being dispensed into the world! May this testimony encourage someone to follow God's ...

#REMEMBER

On the eve of the 18th Anniversary of the campus fire at Seton Hall University (1/19/00), the Lord woke me up early this morning with thoughts of my late beautiful mother, aka "Red," 👄 Doris Marlene King-Christmas. She left this earth serving and caring for both my sick grandmother as well as myself (2002). On the day of her aneurysm, we were preparing for another surgery related to the fire but she held her head high while fighting back her own tears, held my hand and to get my mind off of surgery, she asked me to cook a packet of oodles of noodles (LOL) for her. That woman was determined for me to regain my activities of daily living because little did I know, I would one day have a family to care of for myself by the grace of God. I could not have made it this far without the Lord using her to begin the process of healing. She kept a song in her heart, and a step in her foot (picturing her dancing like David did minus the clothes falling off (LOL). I would have been l...
