Moment of Impact


Howdy,

Life has a way of changing even when we don’t want it to, even when we work so very hard to keep it in balance and harmony, I always thought our actions created a direct result of the life we are living as adults.  I am here to share this is not true, sometimes life (trauma) steps in and everything we knew to be true is forever changed without our actions having any factor.  Dictionary calls this the victim, a victim is just in the wrong place at the right time and they suffer the consequences of another persons actions or natural trauma (flooding, fire, hurricane, tornado) for the rest of their life.

I did not fall to my knees for Jesus until I was in my early forties as I had suffered such horrific trauma from life that I just did not believe in GOD. Then in my early forties I was given the news of a spinal cord tumor and at this point I gave my life, soul and heart to Jesus.  The world we live in is indeed not heaven it is a fallen world I do my best to stay in deep prayer with Jesus and believe things will not only get better but turn out to be GOD’s plan of taking what evil has tried to destroy me and move me up to the next level in life.

Frustrating for sure to work so very  hard to make our life be a certain way and then in a “Moment Of Impact” everything changes and there is just no time for planning or changing our actions to stop the consequences spinning into motion of another.  Thinking about this can destroy a human life as dreams, plans, love, relationships, family, everything we know to be true is forever changed at the “Moment of Impact” it is indeed a tragedy to be a victim and suffer from trauma at the hands of another human beings actions. 

The bible says forgiveness is the most important of all for us humans as if we don’t forgive we are consumed with rage, revenge and hatred that will destroy our fragile perfect human body and I believe GOD weeps for his children.  I believe GOD holds out his mercy and love trying to comfort his children and let them know not all is lost forever, I believe GOD whisperers a new dream into our fragile human minds.

And whenever I stand praying, if I have anything against anyone, I forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that my Father in heaven who is in heaven may forgive me my (own), failings and shortcomings and let them drop.  But if I do not forgive, neither will my Father in heaven forgive my failings and shortcomings.  MARK 11:25-26

Putting one’s life back together after the “Moment of Impact” can be difficult to say the least and when the person is trying so very hard to put their life together their partner (husband or wife) is indeed running a marathon of their own trying to adapt to the change that has been forced upon them.  Sometimes marriages can withstand the “Moment of Impact” and sometimes they cannot.  Why?  Prayer, perseverance, love, patience, the ability to adapt to the transformation created from the “Moment of Impact” leaves the scars internally and physically deeply intertwined into ones soul.

Like a hot fire the “Moment of Impact” burns and destroys the human and animal who has survived the trauma.  From the outside looking in the human and animal looks great but internally they are forever scorched and changed. Only GOD in Jesus Christ precious name can protect and renew what the evil one has stolen. 

I pray GOD restores everything that has been stolen from you and me and gives us double for our troubles, I pray GOD releases his angels on the blood of Jesus Christ to protect his children and bring love, forgiveness, and laughter back to his children’s minds.

GOD is amazing and he is looking for people who are not afraid to say they believe in Jesus Christ.

Blowing In The Wind


Howdy,

When depression hits I work very hard to remember this is not the life GOD wants me to live.  Everything seems to be heightened my heart aches for the way things were before the car accident.  Sometimes I get angry and cry out to GOD as I just don’t understand why me.  I don’t understand why I  have to suffer with pain day in and day out, why I can’t go back to the way life was before the car accident.  Everything I do is more difficult now, grocery shopping, standing, bending, walking it’s just more work now with the large screws in my pelvis. 

GOD whisperers in my ear “Why Not You?”, I guess I thought I was the apple of GOD’s eye and he would not allow me to suffer this much.  Guess what I am the apple of GOD’s eye he not only shows up to help me he gives me the strength to encourage others.  GOD is amazing. The bible is clear that we are not to stay angry, we should be quick to forgive let GOD take care of our enemies. 

The bible is clear we will all suffer, we will all endure persecution for following Jesus but GOD will give us the supernatural strength to endure whatever is blowing in the wind. 

Psalm 3:3 says GOD is my shield, my glory, and the lifter of my  head! When life starts tossing us humans around we need to speak the word of GOD out-loud.  Remember Jesus is still on the throne and he is still in control.

I am the property of Jesus Christ, I am GOD’s witness that he and he alone is the king of all kings.  Jesus is my father in heaven and for this I am grateful. I am grateful that when I pray in Jesus Christ name GOD releases the angels to go to work on all my problems.  Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word. PSALM 103:20

When pain and suffering comes the bible is the only answer to help me.  Pslam provides the words and strength I need to endure for each day and believe tomorrow will be better.  I highly suggest the teaching of Joyce Meyers as she explains everything and her pocket-book named The Secret Power of Speaking GOD’s Word is an excellent way to combat life and stop my mind from blowing in the wind.  Each chapter has the verses added per the emotional and mental trauma we all endure navigating life today, i.e. depression, stress, death,anxiety and worry.

Cracked Pots


 

Howdy,

Reading blogs this morning I found this post named Go ahead  select to view and turn up your volume.  “Thinking about how the human body is like a cracked pot to GOD after we have been here on earth a while.”  Trauma (loss, pain, suffering, death, drugs, alcohol, divorce, cancer, car accidents, and family division) can change our beautiful bodies into cracked pots. 

Guess what?  GOD can use a cracked pot to help others as we can all relate to real life issues more than book smart stuff. GOD is amazing!

God in Jesus Christ precious name uses the cracked pots (hurting people who have given their life to Jesus) to spread light to all of his children.  Some of us have physical scars from the trauma we have endured but most just have deep emotional scars from the suffering and loss of this most difficult world we live in. We indeed live in a fallen world but with Jesus life is peaceful and rewarding.  

I say let your light shine through your cracked pot and be a human angel to another living person or animal.  Age has taught me I am not smart enough to handle all of the problems in this world, I submit, I give everything to Jesus.  

Select The bible  to receive a free bible app for your computer or smart phone.  The bible is still my favorite book as GOD is amazing!

All that I am and all that I will become before I leave this human body I give to GOD as Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.  Please remember how fragile each and every day is; live life humble and grateful for every person and animal that is in our life, as each day is indeed a gift from GOD. God is amazing! 

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Animals Make Everything Better


Howdy,

As I sit at my computer writing my three dogs and two cats are all laying next to me.  My  female dog Jewel is the oldest dog in our pack of three Jewel is laying under my feet to provide the foot stool I need to type and be next to me.  Our big dog Sampson is laying right next to me and the little Carin terrier beside him.  My two female cats I adopted from a local shelter four years ago are sleeping in their kitty beds just inches away they are both manx mix a little bob tail like a bunny rabbit. 

My husband often jokes that I am Dr. Doolittle as each time I get up to move from room to room all the animals follow me, “I guess they know who the momma is.”  Since I was a child I have loved animals actually wanted to become a vet as a kid but life came in between me and my dreams. 

 

Animals are healing no doubt they help us humans feel connected when life has left us traumatized and burned out.  People can let people down but animals are loyal to the end they just know how good they have it when they get a great human to love them.

The last photo of me riding my horse Lily training Rio our Mammoth donkey 2010 – God willing I will ride again one day for now I have the memories and for this I am grateful :)

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Faith Is Something We Cannot See, Feel Or Touch


Howdy,

I found this blog and had to share it select A facebook find!

This really got me to thinking this morning when things are really tough in life and I just can’t see the light beyond the darkness I rely on faith from GOD to help me.  Faith is all I had to believe I would not die but live after surviving a life threatening car accident. Faith is what I hang onto when the pain is insane and I can’t take another minute of it, Faith is what I cling to when I cannot understand in my mind how things will work out. Faith is peace for me. 

 ”Faith for me is believing (knowing with no doubts) I am GODs child and GOD can restore everything, GOD in Jesus Christ precious name will give me the super natural strength to move forward when my body and mind is broken and crushed.”  GOD is amazing, we must use faith when we cannot see what tomorrow will bring.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

I pray for peace for his family.  Life is so fragile we just never know when our time is up!
