Making a Difference in a child's life...
http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid648722446001?bclid=648729282001&bctid=628050874001
I had such a blast shopping for toys and other items for the 5 shoe boxes I am donating for kids in other countries throught Operation Christmas Child!
I found a Dora the Explora, Eyore, Santa Claus, and my favorite Classic Teddy Bears! As I shopped I kept thinking about what my grandson and I talked about as he went thru the Toys R Us Advertisement from Sunday's paper excitedly asking for every toy that caught his eye which was every other. I told him that Christmas was actually when we celebrate Jesus' birth and it's His Birthday, this is why we give gifts during this time! Reminded me of the same conversation I had with my firstborn, Marcella who the next day shared this with her friends at school. The next night was the Christmas Play at her school and a couple of Mother's came up to me and asked, "Do you know that your daughter is telling all the kids that Christmas is not about Santa Claus that it's really about Jesus' Birthday?" To which all I could do was smile...

Hope in God's Word is Eternal
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
God's Word is eternal and it contains 7,000 promises to cover any circumstance you'll ever face. And, no matter what happens in this shifting, changing world you live in, those promises will forever be the same.

We can have Joy in all circumstances!
"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." I Thessalonians 5:16
I have found as Paul, the Apostle said, that I can be thankful and happy in all circumstances because of the Unfailing Love of God!

How are you using your "Single" status?
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:15–16).
Have you considered Jesus' "single" status before? How does it offer you hope in your season of life today? Bide the time doing God's will to bring other's to the saving Grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Have you ever thought about your talents and gifts? Are you a strategic thinker? A great listener? Can you motivate others to action with your words? Are you skilled at building things? I suggest making a list of the things and activities that interest you in which you excel. You can also ask yourself, “What’s the one thing that I do better than others?” This can also clue you in to your God-given purpose. Pray and Ask God to show you the things that move you and make a list. And remember, He wants you to use your skills and talents for His Purposes. This is true fulfillment!

Cultivating Community
The wisest man in the world, King Solomon wrote in Eccesiastes 4: 9 &10
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
if one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
We are relational beings, we need one another, to encourage and lift each other up! We need someone to hold us accountable! I am thankful for the inspiring and loving people God has put in my life to be a friend and mentor. I pray God help me to be the friend, mentor encourager, woman of God, he has called me to be.

Being a Loving Mother...
I spent the past two days caring for my youngest daughter. She manages a shoe store in Abq and is a very strong leader, responsible, caring young lady. She had a stomach flu, (first time she's been sick in a year) so I went by and checked on her. She ended up coming back to Santa Fe with me & her Dad. She spent the night at her Grams, who she adores & her sister, who was her best friend growing up. Grams made them frito pies and they all stayed up talking late, having a great time of fellowship!
My husband & I prayed for her and with her. We discussed these times that we live in and she admitted when watching the news and hearing all the bad things going on, it can be a little depressing!
I encouraged her, reminding her that there is Hope! We read scripture together, In Psalms 112:7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings, His Heart is steadfast, Trusting in the Lord!
I told her that God is Faithful and has always helped me when I am faithful to read His Word and cry out to him in prayer. Tonight, I am reading, Isaiah 12:2, Behold God is my Salvation, I will trust and not be afraid for YAH, the Lord is my Strength & my Song, He is my Salvation! Many have been calmed and assured by the words, "Fear Not"! I pray that God give us the Grace to Trust Him, no matter what is going on around us!

More Patience, More Joy, More Peace
Something I have noticed, when I start my day in prayer and God's Word, reading scripture, I am in a more positive & cheerful mood. I am more intentional in choosing words that impart Life, Hope, and Ecouragment.
This morning I read: Ecclisiastes 10:12, The Words of a Wise Man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool shall swallow him up.
Words are incredibly powerful! My daughter, who not so long ago, thought I was so not cool, is working for me in my business, and now actually listens to me! It's awesome seeing her eyes light up when she really understands and is open to what I'm trying to impart to her. Our children truly are a blessing!
He Who has Knowledge spares his words, And a man of Understanding is of a calm spirit. Proverbs 17:27
God's Word truly Renews & Refreshes Your Soul! As I read his word I pray for more Patience, Joy & Peace and God is Faithful to let us have the Fruit of the Spirit!

Success At Last...
I did it! I swam laps for an hour at the Genoveva Chavez Center in Santa Fe! Loved it! Doesn't feel like you're exercising when you're swimming. I prayed, spoke to God, asking Him to give me Strength, Energy, Wisdom, everything I need to fulfill my destiny in Him and Live my Life for His Purposes.
It seems like we're always soo busy, our calendars are booked, we're looking after our family, keeping up with shopping, schedules, responsibilities & commitments at work, church; it's go, go, go. We stress out, our hearts are heavy and long for Rest, Peace. And yet, if you read God's Word, He has promised us Rest and Peace!
As the Psalmist cried out to God: Hear my Prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to You. Do not hide Your Face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me, in the day that I call, answer me quickly! For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned like a hearth. Psalms 102: 1-3
In Mathew 11:28, Come to Me, All You who Labor and are Heavy Laden, and I will give you Rest. Take my Yoke Upon You and Learn from Me, for I am Gentle and lowly in Heart, and You will Find Rest for Your Souls! For My Yoke is Easy and My Burden is Light!
I thank God for His Lovingkindness and Longsuffering that no matter what I am going thru He is with me and He will carry me thru when I feel like I don't have the strength.

Manana will come, I promise...
Okay, so I didn't work out today. Took my workout bag and forgot my shoes. Had a meeting with fellow Marketeer, (after got out of J-O-B),who has his own IT Biz. We're building Strategic Alliance, referring clients to one another.
Got back to Santa Fe after 7:30 pm. Ate a Caesar salad. Watched Dancing with the Estrellas with Grams. I put my work out bag in my car with athletic shoes so I am set to work out manana. I'll workout before I go to church, come heck or high water.
Read this scripture before getting ready for bed:
Consider the Lilies, how they grow, they neither toil nor spin and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all His Glory, was not arrayed like one of these. If God then so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and then tomorrow, is thrown into the oven, How much more will He clothes you, o ye of little faith. Luke 12:27-28
In the midst of our hurried lives, we just need to take the time to pray, (communicate) with Almighty God. He who has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. It is under His Loving Wing that we can rest and experience His Love, His Peace, that surpasses understanding...

Getting back with the program...
I am so ready to start working out tomorrow or as we say where I'm from, manana. I commute to Abq 3X a week so I've had the excuse that I get home too late. No more excuses, my body is screaming, "Work me Out"! I'm going to join Quick Gym, the home of the 4 minute workout! Yes, 4 minutes, 4 min upper body, 4 min lower and if I can't work 8 minutes into my schedule, something's wrong with me. I was a member last year for a few months and loved it! Between working a J-O-B, doing consulting on Business & Marketing and helping business people with a website, going to church Wednesday & Sundays; I have got to schedule in some physical fitness! I am starting manana! Come heck or high water! What do you do for health & fitness?

What are friends for?
Friendship is one of God's Greatest Gifts! Thank God for friends that will be open, honest & encouraging. My friend Rose & I attend a Market America Workshop/Training once a month in Pheonix. While we drive down we share what's going on in our lives & we pray for one another. We strategize ideas to grow our business. We are both very alike, same age, both empty nesters, strong business women with background in Marketing & Sales. Who are you mentoring or being mentored by?
