Quotes From 'Reduce Me To Love'-Joyce Myer


"It is hard to keep showing love to someone who never seems to appreciate or even respond to it. It is difficult to show love to those individuals who take from us all we are willing to give, but who never give anything back."

"We are not responsible for how others act, only how we act. Our reward does not come from man, but from God. Even when our good deed seems to go unnoticed, God notices and promises to reward us openly for them."

"If a person quits and gives up the task God has assigned him/her because no one is noticing, he/she is not serving from a pure heart, but to get love for him/herself. We must realize that love is something we are to become; it is not something we do and then don't do. We cannot turn it on and off, depending on who we want to give it to and how they are treating us."

"Unconditional love unselfishly loves selfish people, generously gives to stingy people and continuously blesses unappreciative people."

A Matter of Time

I don't think it's any coincidence that God's time  seems to be the theme for this month. There just always seems to be a time line involved in everything we want to get done. Anyway, as my birthday is fast approaching I've been spending time reflecting, going through pictures, reading my journals just really reflecting to get some perspective. What was interesting was that while going through the journal I just happened to buck up this to-do list...yea...one of those goal to-do lists  where I need to do x by y time . Funnily, the list was written back in 2006 and it had check boxes placed next to the goals. I noticed that at least 3 boxes were still not ticked at the time, while others were ticked and dated...and now for the surprise the unchecked were: 1. Become a lacto-ovo vegetarian  2. Go Natural and 3. Something else that I can't quite remember now.. . It was very funny to me, as reading it marked the 8th day since I had gone vegan with no desire for mea...

Good Night Sweetheart!

Publish Post Today is my birthday!! As I approached my birthday I have been going through a series of reflections and I am very thankful for all the many experiences and memories, good and bad that I have had in the past year and the years before. Somehow in my reflection I was led to reflect on my time spent in the West in solitude. I never realized just how many videos I made. This clip is one example of how much I enjoyed my own company in my 'minimalist' home. Lol. As I thankfully and happily embrace this new chapter of my life I want to dedicate this clip to this past chapter of my life... Good night sweetheart! ~Live Life, Love God, One Encounter at a Time~

Reflections from Unlimiting God by Richard Blackaby

Listening to God "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." "(But) when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is yet to come."  "Daughter (and son), be of good cheer; your faith has made you well." The song, 'He is Able' by Deitrick Haddon also spoke to my heart today and is very much in line with these reflections: ~Love God,Live life,One Enkounter at a Time~
