COME ON 2018!! #Let'sDoThis!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Welllll, WE are a few days away from leaving 2017 behind and Stepping Boldly into 2018! I use the word Boldly because that's how I'm seeing ALL of US as we move into 2018! Boldly stepping into the New Year with New Attitudes, New Out Looks on Life, New Ideas, New Goals, New Wisdom, New Insights, NEW US's (smile)!!!

Don't know about You Family but Mona is sure happy and excited to be leaving 2017 with Lessons Learned and Experiences Gained! And eagerly Anticipating and Expecting ALLL the New Stuff Our Lord's got for Me in 2018.  Stuff that will allow me to put to use my 2017 Knowledge that He's Blessed me with!

Loves, one thing Holy Spirit's had weighing HEAVILY on my Heart last few days is, I want ALL of YOU who read Mona Girl Blog to enter 2018 Free and at Peace in Your Hearts, Minds and Souls. FREE from the drama of the past; FREE from the folks of the past who don't fit your life; FREE from frustration, discouragement, anger, fear, envy, bitterness and depression; FREE and At PEACE!! At PEACE with Yourself and Others.  At PEACE with Your Lord and Savior!

Some of you may be saying: Well, Mona, you just don't know what I've done, said, how I've treated folks in the past. You don't know what I've been through. The stuff I've endured and the way I've lived out my life up to this point and time.  God will NEVER forgive me, HE will NEVER accept me.  I've messed up too much, behaved too badly. No way I'm ever getting into the  FREE and At PEACE Zone!! Yeah, You're exactly Right.  I DON'T KNOW about your life experiences but I do KNOW my Daddy God and I do KNOW this.......ALL IS FORGIVEN BY OUR LORD.  HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER, EVER, EVER IMAGINE OR RETURN TO HIM.  HE'S ALL ABOUT YOU!! HE MADE YOU AND OUR LORD MAKES NO MISTAKES! HE KNOWS EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE, SAID FROM BIRTH TO NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE! HE KNOWS THE EXACT NUMBER OF HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD. HE LOVES YOU SOMETHING AWFUL!  HE WANTS TO BE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU! HE WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF YOU! HE WANTS TO HELP YOU! HE WANTS TO LOVE ON YOU! HE WANTS Y-O-U!!

Soooo, Now that I'm finished speaking Boldly into Your Heart, Mind and Soul, I ask you to Please (if you are willing) take the Loving and Comforting outstretched Hand Jesus is extending to You, Right Now and say out loud with Me the following Prayer of Salvation.  That's ALL you need to do to enter HIS FREE and At PEACE Zone. This is the PERFECT time to give Your Life and Soul to Christ, especially after ALL He's done and sacrificed for You.  HE gave up His Life for OUR sins so we could be in Loving and Genuine Fellowship with Him. He died On the Cross, shed His Blood for US so We can be released from ALL our Past, Present and Future sins and be guaranteed a life with HIM in Eternity.  Loves, what an AWESOME way to enter into 2018..........riding shotgun with Your Lord and Savior in the FREE and At PEACE Zone!

Prayer of Salvation:
Dear Jesus,
I don't want to live without a Savior any longer.  I believe You died for me, and I want to confess my sin and receive Your new life.  I choose on this day to invite You into my heart.  I thank You for Your blood shed for me on the cross at Calvary.  Now I will live the rest of my life for You.  I pray this prayer by Faith in Your Name. Amen.

WOW!! OK!! How do you feel?!? I remember how I felt right after I said the Prayer of Salvation!! Whewee! What a Rush!!  Do you see me waving and jumping up and down ova here?!?  I'm right here with YOU in the FREE and At PEACE Zone! "Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17, GNT)

Now Love, there's just one more thing for US to do......please give me Your hand, bow Your head and close Your eyes...........You've just taken an important life changing step and I want to PRAY with You!!

Father God, Lord Jesus, THANK YOU for my beautiful friend who just Prayed the Prayer of Salvation! Thank You Lord that my friend has given his/her life to You as we enter 2018, a New Year of New Adventures.  Thank You Lord for your Grace and Mercy in his/her life. Thank You Lord for LOVING my friend MORE than he/she will ever know. Lord, I Pray that as my friend continues to keep his/her eyes and heart focused on You, You will continue to Guide, Lead, Direct, Teach and Help him/her as they walk in the New Experience of being with You in the FREE and At PEACE Zone....as my friend Learns, Listens and Desires Your Plan for his/her life.  I know there will still be obstacles, drama, hurts and life stuff that will come across my friend's path.  But Lord, NOW that my dear friend has made a commitment to Walk with You, he/she will be able to weather the storms of life, make it over the mountains and through the valleys, and remain unshakable and steadfast as the winds of drama blow.  May my friend Stand Tall and Strong in his/her Faith with YOU as a VICTOR and not a victim.  Thank you Jesus for my friend's new found Friendship with YOU.  Thank You Abba Father for his/her Glorious NEW Beginning. Thank You Jehovah Jireh, Our Provider, for being a Generous God and Blessing my friend with a Wonderful Abundant Life! May my friend continue to fall more and more in Love with You every second of the day.  May my friend continue to Rest and Trust in Your Mighty Love and Protection, Knowing You will NEVER Leave or Forsake him/her, No Matter What! In Jesus' Name. Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Oh Yeah!! I am soooo excited and happy for YOU my Love!! All types of GOOOOD stuff is going to begin to manifest in your life......food is going to taste different (LOL!), you are going to look different, you are going to feel different, you are going to act different.  Not in a scary, I can no longer have any fun kind of way BUT in a WOW! I want to be the BEST Person I can BE and Live for Jesus and His Love kind of way!! You Know I'm here if you need me, have questions, etc. wincty@aol.com

My Loves, 2018 is OUR YEAR! Embrace It! Live It! Believe It! Love It! Share It! Enjoy It!

You're NOW riding shotgun with Our Lord and Savior in the FREE and At PEACE Zone!! Your Life will NEVER be the same.  Just WATCH how Our Heavenly Father SHOWS UP and SHOWS OUT in Your Life and Be AMAZED....Be Very, Very AMAZED!!!

"Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this.  He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!  He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you!"  (Ephesians 3:20, The Passion Translation)

P.S. Family, THANK YOU for **THREE YEARS** of Mona Girl Blogs! We have come full circle, with the inaugural Mona Girl Blog in December 2014!  Oh Yeah! Thank You Holy Spirit for your Weekly Wednesday Wisdom!

HAPPY HANUKKAH!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves, Today is the First Day of HANUKKAH and Holy Spirit dropped this Devotional Message in my lap this morning that I so enjoyed reading.  It's from my fave Rabbi, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein and I just had to SHARE with You.

It's not a long read.....it's a wonderful Word on the History of Hanukkah along with a Message of Encouragement, Motivation and Inspiration.  And based on what I've walked through this last few months of 2017, and I Know some of You have been on a similar Divine Ordained Journey of Faith & Trust as well, this Holy Spirit Word is just what We need!! As We're moving into 2018 ("8" Biblically Meaning - New Beginnings) and are already walking out the Jewish Year 5778 (the Year of the Open Door), it's truly a Time of Reflection, Renewal, Recovery, Restoration and, like today's Message says, "Re-dedication".

So for those of Our Mona Girl Blog Family who Celebrate Hanukkah - HAPPY HANUKKAH! and for those who don't, let's All pour a cup of tea or bev of choice, silence all the noise and just Soak In and Walk Out Real Time, this Word of Hope, Peace and New Beginnings from Rabbi Yechiel..........**REDEDICATION**

*P.S.* If you want to grow a little deeper over the next Eight Days of  Hanukkah, check out this
Hanukkah Bible Study. 😇

Your FAITH ARSENAL!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves, *Today*, Holy Spirit's got me downloading to You some of my Fave Scriptures to add to, replenish, build up, fortify, Your FAITH ARSENAL!

What's a Faith Arsenal You Ask? Well, I use those Two Powerful Words to describe My List of Fave Scriptures that I have saved on my phone and archived in my email.  They are my Go To Verses from The Bible that I can Access In An Instant when I need Encouragement, Support, Guidance, A Reminder to Me of God's Promises.  It's a Divine List of Daddy God's Mighty Truths that I have hidden deep in my heart and soul to Speak and Decree and Declare over my Life or someone else's Life in a Moments Notice!!

Our FAITH ARSENAL is Our Life Source of God's Powerful Living Hand in Our Lives!!!

As We walk out this thing called Life, our relationship with Our Heavenly Father should continue to grow. We should have a desire to have a closer, deeper more intimate relationship with Our Lord. We should hunger and yearn for His Presence in our lives.  We should be motivated to Read, Spend Time in His Mighty Word on a Daily Basis (aka your Quiet Time) in order to not just *KNOW About* Our Loving Lord but to *KNOW Him* Personally!!

And Loves, I can tell you from personal experience, Spending Time in the Word, Chill-laxing with Abba Father as He speaks to me through His Word........has caused me to become a Word-Abider.........has brought me to a point in my life where His Word is a BIG Part of My Life......I am actually Living, Breathing and Experiencing His Promises in Real Time! The Bible has come to Life in My Life!! Oh Yeah! Thanks Holy Spirit!

Family, I say ALL this to say..........Your FAITH ARSENAL is Personal! It's Scriptures from the Bible that are Special to You.  They Mean Something to You. They Impact Your Life.  They remind You of Your past. They speak to Your present and future. Your FAITH ARSENAL is constantly growing, evolving, equipping and edifying You as You continue to learn more and more about Your Heavenly Father........as You continue to Reflect His Image.

Following is a look-see at a Few of My Fave Scriptures that I've gathered over the last few months from reading Daily Devotionals, from Sunday Sermons, from Friends, from Holy Spirit's nudges, etc. And Loves, please keep in mind (as I noted up top), Your FAITH ARSENAL should Always be "In Play".....meaning It will Always reflect Your current mood, circumstances or need. **NOTE: Make sure You Personalize some of Your Scriptures by inserting Your Name in the Verse! Oh Yeah! Takes His Promise to a WHOLE Notha Level!!

“When I was weakest, my enemies attacked - but the Lord held onto me. His love broke open the way and He brought me into a beautiful broad place. He rescued me because His delight is in me. He rewarded me for doing what is right and staying pure.” (Psalm 18:18-20 - The Passion Translation)

"See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you." (Isaiah 42:9, NIV)

"Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4)

"Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise." (Psalm 51:12, MSG)

"You will keep Mona in perfect PEACE, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because Mona Trusts in You." (Isaiah 26:3, NKJV)

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7, NIV)

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers." (Psalm 1:1-3, NIV)

 “…God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God...” (2 Corinthians 2:14)

**And Lastly..............

"'Yes indeed, it won't be long now.' God's Decree.

'Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I'll make everything right again for My people Israel:

'They'll rebuild their ruined cities.
They'll plant vineyards and drink good wine.
They'll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
And I'll plant them, plant them on their own land.
They'll never again be uprooted from the land I've given them.'
God, your God, says so." (Amos 9:13-15, MSG)

Whewee!! I am ON FIRE after re-reading these Scriptures for Today's Mona Girl Blog!!  Family, I soooooooo encourage You to take on this Holy Spirit Assignment and Start or Add To Your FAITH ARSENAL! You will experience a Peace and a Heavenly Assurance that is like NOTHING else in this World as you begin to Memorize and Treasure His Word for Yourself! Share His Word to Encourage Others! Mediate, Pray and Soak In His Word! And Just You Watch....YOU will organically, naturally, effortlessly grow into a closer, deeper, more intimate **Relationship** with Our Daddy God!!

IT'S ......................#EncoreWednesday!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Before we get knee deep into #EncoreWednesday!, I gotta STOP and give a Big Shout Out Warm WELCOME to our newest Mona Girl Blog Family members from the Philippines, Japan, and Portugal!!

Thank YOU Father God for continuing to Grow Your Mona Girl Blog Family!! Welcome Loves!!

OK, now for Today's **Featured Message** for #EncoreWednesday! we get a helping hand from a Family Member in Chicago who's taking us back to WHO YOU ARE!! #DropTheMic!! from Wednesday, June 8, 2016.  Thanks Rev. Marlena!!

**Remember**: Email me at wincty@aol.com or Post in Comments below or DM me on Twitter @MonaGirlNYC to have your Fave Mona Girl Blog re-posted the last Wednesday of the month for #EncoreWednesday!

WHO YOU ARE!! #DropTheMic!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Holy Spirit is BLESSING Us with Two POWERFUL Messages!

Mona's Suggestion: WALK IT OUT.....LIVE IT BOLDLY........RIGHT NOW!!

WHO YOU ARE: A MESSAGE TO ALL WOMEN:

WHO YOU ARE: A MESSAGE TO ALL MEN:

"So God Created humans in his image.  In the image of God he created them. 

He created them male and female." (Genesis 1:27, GW)

But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him,

to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you -

from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted." (1 Peter 2:9-10, MSG)

"You are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16, NKJV)

"And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God
and are fitting into his plans." (Romans 8:28, TLB)

"How beautiful you are, my love;
how perfect you are!" (Song of Solomon 4:7, GNT)

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!

FORGIVE?! YES! FORGIVE!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves, Holy Spirit's been keeping this Word, this *Action* in my heart space for the last few weeks.  It's something We should ALWAYS be doing in our lives but lately it's been riding shotgun with me. And from the Prayer Requests I've been receiving, it's ALSO something a lot of You are Walking Out in Real Time as well.

And just like Today's Mona Girl Blog Title states: FORGIVE?! YES! FORGIVE! We have to be folks who Do Just That! FORGIVENESS is Not just a One and Done Action.  It should be a Way of Life......it should be a Life Style!

As most of You already know....FORGIVENESS is NOT just something We Do/Give to Others, FORGIVENESS is also something We should Do/Give to Ourselves!

Over the last couple years, FORGIVENESS has been Big on Daddy God's To Do List for Mona and He's given me the humility and discernment to see Why sometimes folks Do What They Do.  The majority of the time I've been personally hurt, wounded by other's words/actions, etc. has been because they are lashing out at me for something that is hurting inside their hearts and souls.  The best way to describe it is: "hurt people, hurt people." Easy to Say but harder to Justify and even more difficult to Accept when it's happening to US!

But Loves, if we Step Back, Call on Jesus (Who KNOWS ALL about being Hurt and Wounded), instead of taking off and running down *I'M OFFENDED ROAD*, Our Lord will give us the Compassion and the Humility to see the situation clearly enabling us to Step Forward in FORGIVENESS.  FORGIVENESS of Ourselves and FORGIVENESS of Others!!

And after all Family, if Our Heavenly Father Forgives Us on a 24/7/365 basis for ALL the sinful, petty, just-not-right stuff we do, My Lord, WE as His Children should be Living Out Life the say way. Amen Goes There!!

I know, I KNOW, I hear ya loud and clear!! "But Mona, You don't KNOW what they Said to me." "But Mona, You don't KNOW what they Did to me." "But Mona, You don't Understand, my situation/circumstance is different." Oh Yeah! I hear ALL the "But Mona's" and I say this with Love deep from my Heart.......YOU Must begin to Forgive Them and Yourself if You want to live a Healthy, Happy Life of Love & Peace!  Again, easier said than done but You Know as well as I do......It Must Be Done for Our Own Peace of Mind!

FORGIVE?! YES! FORGIVE! FORGIVENESS of Ourselves and Others!

Loves, please Forgive me if I stepped on any toes or hit too close to home......but as I said up top, Holy Spirit's been on *Repeat* with FORGIVENESS.... and I had to be Obedient and get His Word to You.

As I close out our time together this Wednesday, I leave you with Two Takeaways: 1) A Prayer and 2) Five ("5" biblically meaning Grace) Scriptures on FORGIVENESS for Your Faith Arsenal.


Father God, We come boldly and humbly to Your Throne of Grace, asking for Your Guidance, Your Strength, Your Courage in Us to Forgive Ourselves and to Forgive Others.  We cannot do this without Your Help Lord.  It's too painful and we are angry, embarrassed, hurt and wounded.  Please Forgive Us Lord for what We have done in the past to hurt or wound Others and Please Forgive Us Lord for holding on to what Others have done to hurt or wound Us. Right Now, We Release ALL these unhealthy,  poisonous, toxic feelings of  Unforgivness to You Jesus.  Knowing You are here beside Us helping Us to be Your compassionate and loving Children who choose to Forgive as You have Forgiven Us. We Thank You Heavenly Father that we are NOW stepping into a new Life, Free of Unforgivness, and seeing Ourselves and Others through Your Loving eyes and Caring heart.  In Jesus' Name. Amen. Amen. Amen.


"Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges.  Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." (Colossians 3:13, TLB)

"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.  And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32, NKJV)

"Lord God, you are merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against you." (Daniel 9:9, CEV)

"God is faithful and reliable.  If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we've done wrong." (1 John 1:9, GW)

"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.  The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" (2 Corinthians 5:17, NLT)

P.S. Loves, if You take up FORGIVENESS as a Way of Life, You will step into and enjoy a PEACE that's like Nothing else!! I Promise You!! Just Watch!

*WORDS OF WISDOM*

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Popping by this Week to give you some *Words of Wisdom* from a Wise Man we all Know and Love........

Soak In and Enjoy!!

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!!

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

No Intro.....Holy Spirit's Getting Right Into *IT* Today...........So Here We Go.........

Family, after experiencing my own version of the "back side of the mountain time with Our Lord" like Moses, I've come to KNOW how Our Daddy God speaks to Me. And Today's Word from Holy Spirit is just that.

One of the Ways (and there are several), Abba Father Speaks to Me is when HE puts something on Repeat...meaning when He brings something back around to my mind space over and over and over again.  Holy Spirit plants something in my Heart and Then, a little bit down the road.....He brings it back on Repeat to Confirm, Encourage and Keep Me On Track!

And He's done just that with the Pic Quote that's the Center-Stage-Focus of Today's Message......

Oh Yes!! Powerful Isn't IT?!  Well, not sure if you can relate (cuz this Message may NOT be for Everyone), but for those of Us who have Prayed that Deep, Personal, Just-Between-Jesus-And-Me kind of Prayer........this Holy Spirit Word is for YOU!!

When You've asked the Lord to do something Special in Your Life; when You've asked the Lord to Use You in a Special Way; when You've asked the Lord to Bless you with a Special Gift or Skill to be used for His Glory; when You've asked the Lord to Lead You down the Road Less Traveled........Oh Yeah! All of these kinds of Prayers when Asked Require some Special PREPARATION Time as Our Lord begins to Answer these Prayers!!

And depending on Exactly What *Special* Something You Asked/Prayed for.........I Know from personal experience........that dictates the Intensity, the Length of Time, the Out Of the Box kind of PREPARATION that's Required in order for Our Lord to Fulfill our Prayer request. And just like Today's Title states....this Special PREPARATION that's Required of Us.........can get us to the point of uttering to someone at some point on our PREPARATION Journey......BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR!

Whewee!! LOL! Can I Get An Amen?!  It's like You get to the point where You Know what You Prayed for; You're being PREPARED by the Lord to Receive what You Prayed for; but You're going deeper and deeper into the PREPARATION Process and You suddenly get a jolt of reality in your Heart and  Soul of.........Is This Really What I Want?! Can I Truly Do This?! Are You Serious?! Lord, Are You Listening To ME?! All these questions (and s'more that I'm sure YOU have yourself), come into our mind space.

And this is exactly the Time on Our PREPARATION Journey when We *Realize* what is Truly Required to Live, Walk Out Real Time Our Special Prayer Request. This is exactly the Time We *Realize* Our Heavenly Father is Actually Answering Our Special Prayer Request.

"And we are confident that He hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases Him.   And since we know He hears us when we make our requests, we also know that He will give us what we ask for." (1 John 5:14-15, NLT)

So Loves, for those of Us who are on this PREPARATION Journey with Our Daddy God, Obediently doing ALL that's Required in order to receive the Answer to Our Special Prayer Request, I encourage You to Keep This Pic Quote in Full View of Your Eye Gates! Print it out, Carry it in your wallet/purse, Copy it to your phone, Tape it to your fridge or bathroom mirror, Make it your computer wall paper, etc. I urge You to Keep It In Focus to Remind You, Ignite You, Motivate You, Push You, Inspire You to NOT GIVE UP and to Never again utter the words......BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR!

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24, NIV)

"But it is sure that God has heard.  He has listened to the voice of my prayer. Honor and thanks be to God!  He has not turned away from my prayer or held His loving-kindness from me." (Psalm 66:19-20, NLV)

Family, as I close out our time together this Wednesday, and as You Soak in the Confirming Words of Scripture......Please Rest in the Peace, the Assurance, the Comfort, the Trust and the Faith that You're Just Fine with *ALL* that's Required by Abba Father in order to get You Perfectly & Powerfully PREPARED to Receive Your Special Prayer Request!! All for His Glory!! Thank You Jesus!


Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!

IT'S.......................#EncoreWednesday!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

For Today's **Featured Message** for #EncoreWednesday!!, we get a helping hand from a Family Member in Australia who's taking us back to TRUST HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from Wednesday, November 16, 2016.  Thanks Noah!! LOVE Your Name!!

And Loves, depending on What We're Walking Out in Real Time, **TRUSTING DADDY GOD** is Always a God Thing to Do!!

**Remember**: Email me at wincty@aol.com or Post in Comments below or DM me on Twitter @MonaGirlNYC to have your Fave Mona Girl  Blog re-posted the last Wednesday of the month for #EncoreWednesday!!

TRUST HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

For the last few weeks, I've been **Walking Out Real Time** a Scripture that's at the top of the Bible's Greatest Hits List......a Scripture that's on the tip of the tongue of every True Word-Abider/Believer: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV)

TRUST HIM! No matter what our circumstances/situations look like in the natural, no matter what we are growing through, no matter what folks are saying about us. And We are to TRUST HIM WITH ALL THINE HEART! Not just the portion of our heart we parcel off and give to Our Lord because it's comfortable but We are to TRUST HIM WITH OUR ENTIRE HEART! OUR EVERYTHING!

Whewee Family! That's TRULY easier said than done!  Depending on the exact date and time, the foolishness of folks in our lives, the intensity of the Life Stuff that's hovering around (smile), that's a Tall Order from Our Lord!! But Thank God that's Not the end of this If/Then Scripture from Our Heavenly Father!

HE says If We TRUST HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART......Then HE WILL GUIDE US, DIRECT US, LEAD US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!  So If We do our part and do not give into our Will, our Wants, our Shenanigans of trying to fix things on our end (that's called Pride by the way) and Give Him the Glory! Give Him a Shout Out! Acknowledge Him as Our Ride or Die!.....Then He's Got Us!! And Loves, what an Awesome, Loving,  Peace-of-Mind **PROMISE** from Abba Father that gives Us the courage to Hold On.....that gives us the Bold Confidence to KNOW that We KNOW that We KNOW no matter the insurmountable, seemingly impossible task(s) Life throws our way or the "Stuff" that comes across our path, He's Got Us!

Commercial Break: And Family, if We Push Pause and just think about, reflect on ALL the Mighty Saints of God in the Bible who TRUSTED HIM! TRUSTED HIM WITH THEIR ENTIRE HEART!! Oh Yeah, the list is endless........Moses, Queen Esther, Mary (Jesus' Mother Mary), Jacob, Isaac, Joseph, King David, Rahab, Hannah, Ruth, Naomi, Job, Joshua, Caleb, Elijah, Elisha, Noah, Deborah, Elizabeth, Apostle Paul, the TWELVE DISCIPLES, The Woman with the Issue of Blood, The Samaritan Woman at the Well, Jeremiah, Sarah, Abraham, JESUS!!!!!! Whewee!! Google their names and You'll have a lifetime of Encouragement, Inspiration and CONFIRMATION on Why, **WHY** Family We Can, Should and Do TRUST HIM!!! 

Y'all know me and I LOVE to feel Your warm, around-the-globe energy, so Please say with me Right Now what thus saith the Lord because there's POWER in His Word when We speak it Together out loud: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV) Oh Yeah! That's God Stuff! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!

Now Loves, if you haven't gotten your fill of today's Scripture, take a look at Proverbs 3:5-6, Message Version for an Icing on the Cake/Cherry On Top Read! Oh Yeah! Once again.... God Stuff!

Holy Spirit brought a read across my path earlier today (Thanks Shalawn!) that He's nudging me to drop in right here before we close out our time together.  I hope it gives You even more reason.....encourages You even more to continue to TRUST HIM!

There are benefits, advantages and promises directly correlated to one’s absolute TRUST in God. God loves each and every one of His children and just like a parent or guardian displays love and protection for their child, God abounds even more than that in our lives, because He has the resources, wisdom, knowledge and power to do more than we can ask, think or imagine. We are covered by the LORD regarding all aspects of our lives. Nothing about you is insignificant and as a child of covenant you are covered in God’s: 

Love, Grace, Mercy, Increase, Promotion 
Loving Kindness, Joy, Peace, Gifts 
Protection, Healing, Son-Jesus Christ, Redemption 
Forgiveness, Future, Fulfilled Calling for your life, Care 
Peace, Favor, Timing, Relationship 
Promises, Blessings, Rewards, Plan and so much more! 

The Lord completely covers us when we TRUST him completely and know without a doubt that He is our refuge, strength, promise keeper and protection.  In life it is easy to pick up the futile acts of worry, anxiety, fear and doubt but when we completely trust God no matter what is going on in us and around us worry, fear, anxiety and doubt will be forced to leave because our faith in God is greater than any circumstance. We are truly covered by the LORD. 

God knows who we are, what He has created and what we are equipped to accomplish. God is completely aware of our inabilities and He possesses all ability to cover us in every area of our lives.  When you read God’s word let it sink in as a direct promise to you, because that is exactly what it is. God has covered ALL in your life but we are commanded not to worry, not to fear and TRUST God no matter what it looks like. In the natural it may be tough but spiritually and with God’s grace "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you." (Philippians 4:13).   

Life is full of challenges, choices, changes and characters but remain encouraged today by Psalm 91 that you are completely covered by the LORD in all things regarding you.  To God be the Glory! - Dr. Kennetra A. Bryant

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!!
