GO GOD !

SHOUT-OUT to God on some praises and blessings in disguise.

So many of you know that I've been praying about a particular brother...and thanks to so many of you who prayed for & advocated just how amazing I am   Honestly, I was greatly encouraged and strengthened. The brother's answer was "no"...due to personality incompatibilities. (On the funny side, I said...You let the best thing walk away from you. Call it a healthy self-esteem and knowing my worth in J.C.)

After some time to process, it is such an incredible blessing in disguise...as God is reminding me the kind of godly man I am to be waiting on. #1. that is full of and sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.  My prayer is to wait with peace & joy as He is grooming him.  So I'm starting to see that "no" is really not such a bad thing after all
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More praises...I AM GOING TO BROOKLYN TABERNACLE !!! and NYACK COLLEGE (in Tribeca) !!! for my second year of internship.  GO GOD !  This is incredible...just feeling so incredibly excited and ready for the Lord to refine me further as a Christian counselor-in-training. Thank-you Jehovah Jireh.

My prayer is to walk in humility and point the glory back to God.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And more dynamic praise...teaching a Christian Education course on Singleness/Dating/Courtship for six weeks starting April 15th to all sisters.  God is truly opening doors. I feel sooo incredibly nervous...the one thing I pray to communicate is God's vision for spiritually and emotionally healthy relationships!

Pls pray for a brother to teach the guy's side of this course.  Following the six weeks of gender segregated classes, we will be going co-ed for 5 weeks.

Just Loving BASIC Appreciation :-)

Hallelujah Go GOD !
So tonite's fellow was about BASIC (brothers & sisters in Christ)
 Appreciation~

I've am sooo proud of & impressed by my
C'stone brothers in JC~
They've really stepped up to the plate in many ways.
The whole group of guys got up on stage to sing-
'Stand By Me', 'Lean on Me', 'Listen to Our Hearts'

Personally, I was dying of laughter. Eric, Garrick
 & Charles were hilarious !
- Eric had his eyes closed & snapping his fingers
(looked like he was having a private party w/ it)-
Garrick had this pretend face of great agony and
pain singing- Stand By Me- Charles- he was about
 a solo man trying to sway back & forth...appreciating
the effort though

It has been my prayer that my brothers would
 take more the initiative in showing appreciation
to the sistas...as well as in beginning relationships.

Too often times, including myself...we'll be
dropping MAJOR hints to the guys we're
interested in/ practically chasing the boy
down with a cave woman bat to hit him over
the head with. Not that I am advocating domestic
 violence (bad rep for me as a relationship
counselor) but that we as sisters need to learn
to acquire PATIENCE and wait on God's timing.

On and off for the past 2 yrs, I've anxiously and
prayerfully was waiting on a specific brother(s). 
After a season of fasting and praying, the
Holy Spirit was showing me that God desires
for me to wait with His PEACE & JOY &
CONFIDENCE! This type of attitude honors
our Jehovah Jireh. AMEN.

Only God can write my name in this brother's
heart and his name in mine.  I praise God for
guarding this brother's heart and pray for only
His ultimate best for him.  I really do care about
my bro(s) and if that woman is not me
(God knows what each of us needs), then I am
thankful to Him for answering my prayers.  

It is not the easiest answer to receive from God
but I have learned that He strengthens me with
His special blend of comfort, counsel and a new
hope...that He is my Heavenly Potter...diligently
refining me to be a woman after His own heart...
as well as grooming my future Mr. Godly Man
to be one that walks in the sensitivity of the
Holy Spirit's prompting.

I end by saying...look to Proverbs...as it says,
"Guard your heart, for it is a wellspring  of life~"

Happy Early Valentine's Day

Discovered a NEW word today...

roseate \ROH-zee-it; -ayt\, adjective:

1. Overly optimistic; bright or cheerful.
2. Resembling a rose especially in color.

I loooove food And so...thinking..."rose ate."
In Cornerstone last wk, we were talking about the son of encouragement...Barnabas. I shared that I enjoy encouraging people but trying to hold back from being overly optimistic. 

Wanted to share this nugget of wisdom...from Chuck Swindoll

"It is possible to move men through God by prayer alone."

AMEN
