WOW!!!!!!!! which was First Published on Wednesday, December 9, 2015 but was Re-Posted as the Inaugural #EncoreWednesday! **Featured Message** on January 25, 2017. Confused?! No Worries. Just Get Your Read On............😇

**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??? WHAT?!? WOW!!!!!!!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

For today's Mona Girl Blog, Holy Spirit has me sharing with YOU one of my Fave MIRACLES in the Bible, which you can read in its entirety here: Four Men in the Furnace!

It's an Off the Hook Testimony of FAITH, COURAGE, TRUST, LOYALTY and LOVE!! Whewee! Me so excited to SHARE with you today! Here we go......... Thanks Holy Spirit!!

**WHO???**
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Yeah, that's a mouth full...just rolls right off your tongue - LOL!), were three Hebrew Men back in the Old Testament Book of Daniel who LOVED and I mean LOVED and WORSHIPED their Lord...even until death. Back in their day, there was a King....King Nebuchadnezzar, who was ALL about himself.  He was the King, he was the Man, he was the Bomb! And because of King Nebuchadnezzar's over appreciation for himself, he built a HUGE gold statue and ordered all the important folks in Babylon to attend the dedication ceremony. At the ceremony, the leaders were informed that whenever the Band played, you were to fall to your knees and worship King Nebuchadnezzar's gold statue. And the down side to that mandatory request was that anyone who did not kneel and worship would be thrown into a roaring furnace.  (See Daniel 3:1-7, MSG) Geez!  Harsh punishment for not stroking the King's ego, don't you think?

**WHAT?!?**
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who were three of the King's leaders in Babylon, did NOT buy into King Nebuchadnezzar's self-aggrandising tactic. When they chose NOT to kneel in worship of the gold statue when the Band played, they were called out for their disobedience. In fact, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were called out in such a public way that they insulted and angered King Nebie (Mona Nick-name) but he gave them a second chance.  Oh Yeah!!  Here's where it gets interesting.......the Hebrew Mighty Men were not afraid of King Nebie or his threats of death by the roaring furnace.  They stood FIRM and UNMOVABLE in their Faith in God....their Almighty Sovereign Lord.....and, as a result, spoke some of the most Powerful Words in the Bible: "Your threats mean nothing to us. If you throw us in the fire, the God we serve can rescue us from your roaring furnace and anything else you might cook up, O king. But even if he doesn't, it wouldn't make a bit of difference, O king. We still wouldn't serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up." (Daniel 3:16-18, MSG - LOVE, LOVE the underlined portion of this Scripture!!!!) Family, Y'all notice how the Message version used the lower-case "k" when the Hebrew Men referred to King Nebie?!? Just adding fuel to the fire (pun intended).  

Soooooo, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego disobeyed/disrespected him publicly and THEN when he gave them a 2nd chance, they dissed him even further with their strong reply and allegiance to God!!! Oh Yeah!  King Nebie was DONE!!! As a result, he ordered the furnace fired up 7 times hotter.....7 TIMES HOTTER THAN USUAL.....ordered his strong army men to bind up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in every way possible and throw them into the roaring furnace. (See Daniel 3:8-23, MSG).

**WOW!!!!!!!!!!**
Now for those of Us who've been doing this Faith Walk thing for a while....or even if You just gave Your Life to Christ.......WE Know Our Abba Father DOES NOT LIKE UGLINESS.....especially when it's directed towards HIS Anointed, HIS Children, HIS Loyal Sons and Daughters. After all, it's part of Our Heavenly Father's Covenant Promise to US that He will ALWAYS look out for US because we are His.  Thank You Jesus!  Now, here's where it gets really interesting..........here's how the MIRACLE played out.........

After the Three Hebrew Men were thrown into the ferocious fiiery furnace, which by the way burned up the strong army of men who were obeying King Nebuchadnezzar's orders,.....(Hmmmmm, beware who you chose to follow/obey....you could get Burned, literally!!), King Nebie was shocked to see FOUR Men walking around FREELY in the Fire!!!  Remember they were completely bound hand and foot!! And it even further AMAZED King Nebie that the FOURTH MAN looked like JESUS!!  Oh YEAH! Like the seasoned Saints at my church in Harlem say: "Our God is an ON Time God......He may not always show up when we want Him to but HE's  Always On Time." 

But Ohhhhhhh Loves, because JESUS was in the Fire with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, when King Nebie called them out of the furnace,.......the Fire had not touched the three Mighty Men of God...the Fire had not singed ONE hair on their heads......the Fire had not scorched their clothing......they DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE SMELL OF FIRE/SMOKE ON THEM! So King Nebuchadnezzar, because of his arrogance and wrong choice in his godly worship, secured himself a front row seat to witness One of the Bible's Most Powerful MIRACLES!! Whewee!! All King Nebie could say after witnessing such an Awesome Sight was: ".......There has never been a god who can pull off a rescue like this." (Daniel 3:29, MSG) AND to put the icing on the cake with a cherry on top........Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were promoted by the True King!! (See Daniel 3:24-30, MSG).

Oh YES!  Family! When We STAND FIRMLY ON OUR FAITH, when We do NOT waver, when We are NOT swayed/manipulated/bullied by the world, when We are Loyal, Trusting and Courageous, when We are NOT afraid of what we are facing, when we Believe in Our Lord no matter what, when We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight, when We really...REALLY Love & Worship Our Heavenly Father........HE'S GOT OUR BACKS no matter the firey trials, challenges and stuff life brings!! Oh Yeah! Take it from my boyz, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, when You Love, Honor and Respect Our Sovereign Lord -
Get Ready for Miracles.........Get Ready for Promotions!!

"And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king's counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them." (Daniel 3:27, NKJV)

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!

Metsies Winning Season - Scripture #16:

FYI......*ALL* Means *ALL*! 

Not a few things, not some things, not just the Big Things, not just the Small Things.......*ALL* means *ALL*.....even the day-to-day Life Stuff!!

HE'S POWER *AND* HE'S LOVE!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves......Today, Holy Spirit's Word He penned through Me for You has Totally Wrecked Me! In an Ohhhhh so God Way!! So Here We Go...........

Fawn Sighting Back Story:
Last Sunday. I was chill-laxin with Chosen One Susan, looking out the window watching the Deer on the trail behind their home. To be specific for those who will email (smile), White Tailed Deer. They are so very Beautiful. It's exciting to watch them on a normal day but On Sunday!! WOW! We got to see a Fawn!! He (or She) was Sooooo CUTE!!!!!! Lookin just like Bambi (with its brown fuzzy fur with white dots),  nursing on its Mommy!! Its legs were so long and lanky it had difficulty maintaining its balance......wobbling back and forth trying to keep up with Mama Deer to get its drink on. It looked just like this: 

As we were so excited in watching, while trying not to scare them off.......BAM! All of a sudden, Bambi begins to wobble away from Mama Deer and lay down in the high grass, completely hidden from view. Then Mama Deer trots off the other way.  Loves, I was just DONE! I panicked. I screamed........"Mama you forgot Bambi." I went outside and looked through the fence and saw Bambi's Big Brown Eyes peering back at me through the tall grass. Susan and I were beside ourselves..........."What's Going On?!" "Did SHE just leave Bambi?!" "What should We do?!" 

Family it's clear what Holy Spirit did NEXT, is what Today's Message is ALL about. It's clear what I Lived Out on Sunday was NOT just a "God Wink Word" for Mona but a Corporate Word. Meaning a God Word for ALL of Us!!

And for those of You who read His Mona Girl Blog on a regular basis, you'll remember Our Father God is A BIG FAN of the *PROCESS* when it comes to our lives (See LIFE'S A *PROCESS*). That HE is in Every Single Solitary Detail of what's necessary and required for Us to "Walk By Faith and Not By Sight."

Sooooo. Being that I was Totally UNDONE! And wanted Answers.....here's what Abba Father did NEXT  with Me that's Also a God Word for YOU. This is the Detailed *PROCESS* I walked out with Him.........

OK! Did Mama Deer Ditch Bambi?!:
1) I went upstairs. Shut the door and began to cry. And then I began to Pray: "Father God, I KNOW Your Ways are Not my Ways (Isaiah 55:8-9) but Lord, I don't want to hear that right now. I am not going anywhere, I LOVE You with my entire life but PLEASE help me understand why the Fawn is Lost in the weeds and we saw Mama Deer run away?!"

2) Then just like Abba was sitting right next to me. I heard: "Google Why Mother Deer leave their Fawns." And here's what He led me to: DEER! - Don't Touch That Baby!  Oh Yeah! PEACE came INSTANTLY! Thank You Lord!

3) About an hour later, after MORE Praying and just Being Still........went back downstairs. Fawn still in its spot in the high grass.

4) Went back upstairs and Prayed: "Father God. Please Show Up because YOU Control EVERYTHING!"

5) And then I heard IT!! Nothing but God speaking directly to Me and Now to You!! The Lord said: "The Same Way I am protecting MY Fawn. I've protected and cared for You. Use this Faith Test as an opportunity for Me to Show You how I protect My Fawn and You." Oh Yeah Again!! More PEACE came along with Tears of Humility for doubting My Father God.

6) Then Daddy God said: "Go downstairs and make your dinner." So when I got downstairs, I made a bee-line for the window where I saw Mama Deer, across the field, eating grass. She would eat, then stop and look directly at the spot where her Fawn was laying in the tall grass. Then she would move closer to that area. Eat some more, then stop and look again at the spot where her Fawn was. This Process (smile) went on for about 2-3 minutes (which seemed like Forever!!). And each time she moved closer, I kept trying to Will her to keep coming to Bambi's hiding place. NOT realizing SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING! NOT realizing SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHERE HER FAWN WAS! And then BAM a "Divine Revelation"...........I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD NO CLUE!!

7) As I was standing staring out the window, rewinding the "Deer - Don't Touch That Baby" article in my mind, realizing (in my humanness and lack of knowledge) I had completely misread the entire situation the Lord said: "Sit down and watch."

8) All of a sudden!! Bambi runs out of its hiding place to Mama Deer and begins to nurse again. And Mama Deer continues to lick, clean, groom and care for her Fawn. As evening led into night and night into the next day and the next and even this morning........I continue to see Mama Deer continuing to Protect and take Great Care of her Beautiful Fawn!!!

9) ASKED & ANSWERED!! Thank You Father God for Blessing Me to See and Share this Miracle God Wink! And Thank You Lord for the Intimacy We've Shared with You through this entire Story of Process of comparing Us with Your Fawn!


Whewee Loves! As I continue to type His Message for Us, I continue to be so wrecked by the Divine Timing and the Meticulous *PROCESS* Daddy God took me through on Sunday via the entire "Bambi & Mama Deer Parable".  Abba Father wanted to make it crystal clear.....to SHOW Us (cuz He knew we'd be together with Him this Wednesday) that HE'S TRULY IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING!! No matter what We are dealing with. No matter what We are walking through. No Matter What or Who..........HE'S IN TOTAL CONTROL!!! HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE! HE'S PROTECTING US! WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY because Family, HE'S POWER *AND* HE'S LOVE!!

The Almighty All Sufficient God (El Shaddai), The All Powerful Creator of the Universe, Our Sovereign Lord is Also our Heavenly Father, Our Abba Father, Our Loving Shepherd. HE'S POWER *AND* HE'S LOVE!! 

Whewee!! Hallelujah!! I just can't stop saying IT........(Speak Holy Spirit).......HE'S POWER *AND* HE'S LOVE! We can Cry Out to HIM to Show Up with ALL Power and Authority in Heaven and Earth but We can Also climb up into His Beautiful Loving Lap and rest our head against His Chest just like a child does with its earthly Father.

And here are the Scriptures Holy Spirit led me to, to confirm His "Bambi & Mama Deer Parable"......

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which  you do not know."  (Jeremiah 33:3, NKJV)

"For we walk by Faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7, NKJV)

"Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm." (Psalm 105:15, NIV)\

ALL of Psalm 91 which you can read here: Assurance of God's Protection but especially Verses 14-16. PLEASE Insert Your Name  and make IT *Personal* to YOU!!

"Because Mona cleaves to me in love, I will deliver her;
I will protect Mona, because she knows my name.
When Mona calls to me, I will answer her;
I will be with Mona in trouble, I will rescue Mona and honor her.
With long life I will satisfy Mona, and show her my salvation." (Psalm 91: 14-16, RSV)


Loves, I Need You to REALLY REALLY GET THIS!! The Same way Our Lord is protecting and taking care of Bambi, is the Same way Our Lord is protecting and taking care of You and Me!!  As Chosen One Susan said: "The same way Bambi is covered with the protection of Mama Deer's Imprinting, is the same way We are Covered in the Blood of Jesus!!!!!!!" Hallelujah! Speak Holy Spirit!

My Beautiful Family.........Do You See?!  WE DON'T NEED TO FRET OR GET ANXIOUS about Anything or Anyone because OUR FATHER GOD'S IN EVERYTHING!! HE'S GOT US! HE'S POWER *AND* HE'S LOVE!! That's How We Roll!! Oh Thank You Lord!! Thank You Father God!! GLORY!!

*REST* In This! Take *PEACE* In This! And *LIVE IT LIKE A BOSS*!! 😇

Metsies Winning Season - Scripture #15:


**Matthew 19:26**

"YOU ARE SOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!"

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Do any of You remember this? "YOU ARE SOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!"

Well, if you're a Seinfeld Junkie like me, You'll Know It! It's the line Jerry used (instead of saying "Bless You" or "Gesundheit") when someone sneezed on that particular episode. Awww Yes. The mindless "Show About Nothing" that resulted in Seinfeld becoming an "era defining phenomenon". And Family, I'm One who Still drinks the "Episodes in Syndication Kool-Aid." 😁

Anywho.......Today's Mona Girl Blog is Not about Seinfeld but It's one liner makes for a great Intro for Today's Message. Holy Spirit dropped this Wonderful Read into my lap and just had to Share IT with His Global Family.  It's a God Word on what some of Us (I can raise my hand in this class) sometimes have a hard time doing......*Receiving A Compliment*. 

So I will step aside and let Madisyn Taylor's Divine Words of Wisdom give Us something to Put Into Practice the NEXT time (and Loves, I assure you, there'll be lots and lots of "Next Times") You *Receive A Compliment* or hear these words......"YOU ARE SOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!"


Accepting Compliments: Receiving a Gift with Grace

When we willingly accept compliments, we are reminded that others see us through different eyes.

Many of us find it difficult to accept compliments but easy to believe the slightest criticism. Today, right now, let's make a choice to fully accept compliments as we would a gift. Sincere compliments are gifts of praise. They are kudos given for wise choices or accomplishments or perhaps for just letting your light shine. There is no reason not to accept the gift of a kind word, but some of us argue against them, even giving reasons why they aren't true.

If we visualize the energy of a compliment, we would see beautiful, shining, positive energy being sent from the giver. That energy, if accepted graciously, would brighten our personal energy field. Our gratitude then returns to the giver as warm, fuzzy, glowing energy, completing an even circuit of good feelings. But if we reject a compliment, what could have been a beautiful exchange becomes awkward and uncomfortable, making it a negative experience instead. Misplaced modesty can ruin the joy of sharing this connection with another person. But we can accept a compliment and still be modest by simply saying "thank you." However, if compliments are rejected due to a lack of self-esteem, then the first step would be to start believing good things about yourself. Try giving yourself compliments in the mirror. Beyond the initial feelings of silliness, you will notice how good it feels and
can watch the smile it puts on your face. The next step would be to see how it feels to give compliments to others. Notice how great you feel when you've made another person's face brighten and how differently you feel when the gift you've offered is rejected. Having experienced all sides, you will be ready to play along fully and willingly.

We are our harshest critics. When we accept compliments, we are reminded that others see us through different eyes. All living beings crave positive attention, and we all deserve to have positive energy shared with us. Perhaps if we happily and gratefully accept compliments, we will give others permission to do so as well. (www.dailyom.com)

Metsies Winning Season - Scripture #14:

LIFE'S A *PROCESS*

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves.......Today Holy Spirit's got something for Us that He's been mulling around and around in my mind space for a few days. And here IT is......LIFE'S A *PROCESS*.

I'm sure some of you can complete that statement with another word 'bout the stuff of Life (smile) but Mona Girl Blog is a Positive Pure Blog (that's why You pop by every Wednesday) so We're going with what He put on my heart........LIFE'S A *PROCESS*. 😇

*PROCESS* as Dictionary.com defines the Noun is: "a systematic series of actions directed to some end." "a continuous action, operation, or series of changes taking place in a definite manner."

Soooooo, as we peep the literal definition and drop It into our lives, it's easy to see that as we Walk Out Life....there's a continual series of activities; a methodical plan of action; a series of detailed steps ......that make up the day-to-day stuff which creates the overall Bigger Picture of our lives.

And because I'm HIS Scribe and Everything I pen is for HIS Glory, we always end up back at HIS Word for Revelation and Confirmation. So let's peep just a few examples of how Important the *PROCESS* is to our Sovereign Lord God.........

*God Spoke the World into Existence: Genesis 1 

*God Created Adam & Eve: Genesis 2

*Jesus' Awesome Wedding Gift: Water Turned To Wine

*Jesus' Picnic Lunch: Jesus Feeds Thousands

*God's DIY Project for Noah: Noah's Ark

*God's Chosen One: David Anointed King

***FYI:  If you Really want to See Adonai at Work In PROCESS, check out the Book of Leviticus in the Old Testament!! Oh Yeah! It's ALL About God's Meticulous and Precise Instructions to the Israelites via Moses on how to make Holy Offerings, Sacrifices & Blessings!! Talk About *PROCESS*!!

WOW! OK?! Now We See just how meticulous, and detailed, and perfection-oriented, and methodical, and Flawless our Father God is when it comes to Having His Hands in the Pot!! We See, in just a small sample size, how Critical and Essential PROCESS is to El Shaddai (Almighty God). And Loves, if Abba Father is so Uber Focused when it comes to bringing His Plans and Promises in The Bible to fruition, and keeping in mind We're His Sons and Daughters created in His Image.........why would We even begin to think that the PROCESS of how We Walk Out Life is not high up on His Holy To Do List.

If our Father God is so Into and On Point with the orchestration of the Divine PROCESS of Everything of this World, then We're part of that Divine PROCESS too.  Rinse & Repeat: LIFE'S A *PROCESS*.

And because He uses "God Winks" to confirm things in my spirit, Holy Spirit's dropped two quotes and a Scripture in my lap that fit perfectly with His Word for us today.

*"Treasure the PROCESS to the Promise" (Apostle Joe Joe Dawson)

*"PROCESS and Routines Matter Most." (Coach Mickey Callaway, New York Mets)

"My thoughts," says the Lord, "are not like yours, and my ways are different from yours.
As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours." (Isaiah 55:8-9, GNT)

Family, it's crystal clear. Pretty much Everything We Do, Say and Are, is part of a "systematic series of actions directed to some end" that make up the Bigger Picture of our lives. Now our choice is to be Open and Allow our Father God to Lead and Guide us according to His Life PROCESS for us, which will at times mean We Won't Get Our Way or It Won't Be According to Our Life Plan/Agenda just like He tells us in Isaiah 55.

But Loves, I've learned from first-hand experience that doing life Mona's Way can get pretty gnarly and chaotic at times. And We Know Our Lord is Not about disorder and confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).  So my gentle suggestion to those who are Heading Into PROCESS, In PROCESS or Coming Out of PROCESS, is to keep your eyes fixed like flint on your Abba Father and hold tightly to His Loving Hand.........as you let His meticulous, methodical, Flawless PROCESS mold, shape and transform you into His Divine Masterpiece.......so you can Stand Strong and say with All God-fidence........LIFE'S A WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL *PROCESS*! Hallelujah! Thank You Jehovah Jireh! Love You Lord!! 

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!

Metsies Winning Season - Scripture #12:

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

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves, Y'all KNOW what Day It Is! So Let's Get Right To It.........

For Today's **Featured Message** for #EncoreWednesday!, we get a helping hand from a Family Member in South Korea (Thanks Min-suh!!) who's taking us back to *BREAKING*: Nothing Like INNER PEACE!! from Wednesday June 7, 2017.  Oh Yeah! We can NEVER  have enough INNER PEACE!! Amen Goes There!!

**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! 


Oh! One More Thing: HAPPY BLESSED BIRTHDAY CITRA!! My Beautiful Sister from Jakarta!! Love You!! 

*BREAKING*: Nothing Like INNER PEACE!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves......Holy Spirit's been in my Ear the last few days regarding folk's INNER PEACE......folk's SOUL PEACE!

And because I'm HIS and I'm Obedient, I've been PRAYING mightily for some of You and Your INNER PEACE.  The kind of PEACE that breaks the negative yolks of anger, resentment, bitterness, worry, unforgiveness, meanness, spiteful/vindictive spirit, fear, doubt, low self-esteem, lack of joy, lack of self-discipline, unbelief, living life as a pretender, living life with a hardened heart toward God, jealousy, pride, etc.

Wheweee, that's some kind of Prayer List. But to be honest, there are many walking around Right Now, Right This Second with their All-Is-Well-Hallelujah! Christian Mask on when in reality their Soul......their INNER PEACE is alllllll jacked up! And Loves, my soul aches...it hurts when I see some of our Brothers and Sisters walkin out life this way!!!!

And how can I be so forth-right and sure of this you ask?!? Cuz Family, I know EXACTLY what it looks like. That used to be ME!  Been There. Done That. Got the T-shirt!!! I was fabricating a Life of Peace when in reality, I was lacking INNER PEACE! Not a fun way to live and if Not for the GRACE of God, I would have missed out on God's Divine Purpose for Mona...the very *Reason* He created Me! God cannot live and dwell and abide and speak to a Soul when it's in a constant state of unrest.....when it's lacking INNER PEACE. And as I learned first-hand, YOU CAN FOOL OTHER FOLKS BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL GOD.

So today...Holy Spirit's message is to PLEASE, PLEASE seek PEACE in your Life. Seek INNER PEACE deep in your soul.  And Loves, if you're struggling to get to this sacred place of INNER PEACE due to the laundry list of under-belly stuff  listed above......... 

*Holy Spirit's Loving Suggestions?* Reach out to someone for Prayer....a consistent Prayer Partner. Join a Prayer Line that focuses on PEACE. Google "Scriptures on Peace" and Read your Bible, get into His Word. Sit quietly with Jesus and let Him speak comfort and PEACE to your Soul. Humbly and Honestly ask the Lord for Forgiveness and Repent of the "stuff" (and you know what "stuff" I'm talkin 'bout) that keeps your soul void of Peace. Distance yourself from toxic/negative folks.  Create a "Songs of PEACE" PlayList to chill-lax to. Take a Yoga Class.  Schedule a time with your Pastor, Priest or Rabbi to talk about your feelings. Find a Genuine, Trust-worthy friend or confidant (who's NOT a Gossip) to confide in/share with. If possible, do a **Real Talk Session** with family, your spouse or significant other. EMAIL ME at wincty@aol.com...I will Pray with You and I will Help You because I Love You! 

As most of us Word Abiders know (and I'm paraphrasing)......."Our God is NOT the author of Confusion but of Peace." (1 Corinthians 14:33).  So this is the Last Place HE wants Us to Live....this is the Last Way HE wants Us to Walk Out Our Lives. Family, Our Daddy God has Soooooo MUCH for Us to Experience and Do as we walk out the Gift of Life He gave to Us. He wants to Bless Us so we can be a Blessing.  He wants Us to reflect the Image of Jesus and be His Light in the Darkness to help others. He wants Us to take our Imperfect selves and be Living, Breathing Testimonies of His Goodness, Mercy, Compassion and Love! And we can't Do and Be ALL He's got for Us To Do and Be if we're lacking INNER PEACE.

So Loves, as I close out our time together today, I'm leaving you with: 1) Three *PEACE* Scriptures to get you started and to ride shotgun with you (insert your Name to make them Personal); 2) A Mighty Powerful God Word to Pray Over You; 3) A Soaking Song to give you PEACE (Love the Santana-esque Guitar Solo!!).  

AND Family,  I encourage You to turn off the TV; shut down the iPad, Laptop, Phone, Tablet; stop the mindless, unproductive busyness; remove the annoying distractions; silence the Noise and **BE STILL**.........and seek to find some INNER PEACE via *Holy Spirit's Loving Suggestions* above (in red).  I can PROMISE You as a one who's Been There. Done That and Got the T-shirt!! It's the ONLY way to Truly Live an Awesome-sauce Life of INNER PEACE and to Live Out Your God-Ordained, Divine Purpose! #PureFreedom!!

#1:
"And the Peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7, JUB)

"You will keep him in perfect Peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." (Isaiah 26:3, NKJV)

"Keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you Peace and prosperity." (Proverbs 3:1-2, NIV)

#2:
"My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth.  I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit - not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength - that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in.  And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love.  Reach out and experience the breadth!  Test its length!  Plum the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:17-19, MSG)

Metsies Winning Season - Scripture #11:

WHY WE ARE NOT SHOWN THE BIG PICTURE

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves. Got an Inspirational Word for Us Today through our friend Madisyn Taylor from *Daily Om*

The Full Title of the Mighty Read is: Why We Are Not Shown The Big Picture: Fully Committed To Now.

And Family, while I agree with 99% of this Word of Confirmation from Ms. Taylor, I do have to raise my hand up Real High with a Warning that I'm NOT in agreement with some of the sources she sights that folks use when "fleshly searching for their bigger picture" (i.e., psychics & tarot cards).  Cuz I'm a God-Abider and my Father God is my ONLY Source when it comes to my search for direction and guidance for my life.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, NKJV)

Sooooo with that said, I encourage you to get comfy, brew some soothing tea or bev of choice and get your Read On.  So you can soak in some knowledge of why Our Lord sometimes does NOT Show Us the Big Picture of HIS Awesome Plans for Our Lives..........

Often, we want to be shown the big picture but it is not always in our best interest, as we can easily become overwhelmed.

Sometimes, we may find ourselves wishing we knew what our lives are going to look like or what gifts and challenges are going to be presented to us in the coming months or years. We may want to know if the relationship we're in now will go the distance or if our goals will be realized. Perhaps we feel like we need help making a decision and we want to know which choice will work out best. We may consult psychics, tarot cards, our dreams, and many other sources in the hopes of finding out what the future holds. Usually, at most, we may catch glimpses. And even though we think we would like to know the whole story in all its details, the truth is that we would probably be overwhelmed and exhausted if we knew everything that is going to happen to us. 

Just think of your life as you've lived it up to this point. If you are like most of us, you have probably done more and faced more than you could have ever imagined. If someone had told you as a child of all the jobs and relationships you would experience, along with each one's inherent ups and downs, you would have become overwhelmed. With your head full of information about the future, you would have had a very hard time experiencing your life in the present moment, which is where everything actually happens. 

In many ways, not knowing what the future has in store brings out in us the qualities we need to grow. For example, it would have been difficult to commit yourself to certain people or projects if you knew they wouldn't ultimately work out. Yet, it was through your commitment to see them through that you experienced the lessons you needed to grow. Looking back on your life, you would likely be hard pressed to say that anything in your past should not have happened. In fact, your most challenging experiences with their inevitable lessons may have ultimately brought you the greatest rewards. Not knowing the future keeps us just where we need to be-fully committed and in the present moment.

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!
