Good evening blogger,

I just wanted to share with you a post I put on my Facebook page 
(http://www.facebook.com/pages/By-Grace-Only/401452736583997?ref=hl )
here is what it said:
I have a project that will finally start next month, something that simple, small and I pray to God it's a blessing to those that will be on both ends. If you live in Florida, near my neck of the woods (Sanford) or would like to help from wherever you are please inbox me for details. God bless you all. Our drop in the bucket is more then what we think. God bless you all. 

So I ask you if you would like to help please email via my contact page or my Facebook page.

Good morning bloggers,
Well this past week and weekend I was thinking about deleting my Facebook accounts, just because I think it's taking to much of my time that I can be doing God's work and spending time with Him. But at the same time I've been getting alot of feed back from people telling me that they read my post, that the bible verses or comments that I put up encourages them and so forth. So I decided that I would delete my old accounts and start a new page and a community page for this blog. Not only to share with others my happenings but most importantly to share Jesus with whoever wants to hear His word. You see because when I sit and start typing away I also get lost in the word of God and there are those times that I will be typing something and read it before I hit post and say to myself "you can't post that you're crazy" but it's not that I'm crazy or more special than the next person but at the moment God is reaching to someone via through my typing hands onto Facebook. Believe me not only does it I believe ministry to that person or person but also to me. So although my FB page has changed I will still have one for it's part of my job as a solider of God, to reach those that otherwise I would not be able to reach. You FB page is for you to do how you please but just remember that as Christians on FB we should just it for more than just posting 100 videos on cats, sometimes it's the only Jesus they see (I hope that makes sense to you, I hope so). God bless you all and keep pressing forward.

Good morning bloggers,
Well I know it's Tuesday but I wanted to share with you something that happened on Friday. I posted about it on Facebook but what to go a little deeper. Any who, am on of the 2 teachers for the youth in the church I attend and on Friday I wasn't able to go to church. As the evening came I thought to myself I've prepare this lesson of tonight's class but I don't have a class to teach.....but then I realized that I have 3 of the my students at home (my daughters). So I decided to tell my daughters (including my youngest daughter) that I would be teaching the class after all. After dinner and their chores were done, I set up for class. The girls got their bibles and other needed supplies and sat at the dinner table. My daughter was speaking to her friends on oovoo and told them "My mom is about to have bible class with us, would you like to come" and,they said yes. So we started class and as I was handing out the lesson work sheets, my daughter said "mom wait how are they going to do the lesson if they don't have the paper", so to her credit she asked the girls for their email and ask me to send them the lesson via email. So we went on with the class....sharing, learning, discussing.....it was great. The class went on for about 2 hours I think (which in church because of time limit would not been able to happen). After to was said and done, I smiled and thanked God for He does know what He's doing. I thought that I have prepared a class for no reason but there was a big reason, God set it up perfectly. Who would have thought that via oovoo and email I would have been able to teacher two beautiful young ladies along with my lovely daughters. So even though if you would have driven by my house on Friday and have thought nothing of it God was working in a mighty way within the walls on my home and across miles in the home of my daughter friends. God is AMAZING!!!
Well on Sunday after a powerful service I spoke to my pastor about what had happened on Friday and she was very happy to hear what had happened but was shocked on the way it happened.  
I have to say that Friday I went to bed full of joy.

So many tears, sleepless nights, laughs, fun, fights, sorrow joy,God,friends, family, ups & downs, changes, faith, pain, beauty, distance, misunderstandings, growing, Jesus, love, surprise are just a few words that can describe my life over
the years but when I think of all that I have today and share this with God the only word I can say is THANK, thank you for loving me through the mess, struggles, good times and all the times in between cause when I stop to look around at my husband, children, grand daughter & son in law I can clearly see how God has taken the brokenness of my life and has created beauty and with every passing day I lean, grow, love, hurt more and with every one of those steps I see beauty continually being created in my life and that of my loved ones. <3lovethemthroughtherainfiregloryvictoryandjoy♥
 

Well today is Sunday and here I am trying to get everyone ready to head to church. I got the baby fed and dress, got my nails done, got my clothes ready, got the baby's bag packed, got all my daughters up and my husband.....now everyone is moving at the speed of slower than slow. My two oldest daughter are in the room "getting ready", you know the usually, fixing their hair for 2 hours to look the same as always, putting on a outfit one stitch at a time (it must be cause on long can it take to put on an outfit, it's not like their dressing for gala) and oh yes how can I forget sharing every minute with their friends on the iPod o_O, I tell you. Any who then the 2 younger girls do everything but what they have to, you know get dressed and stuff. So am sitting here finishing my breakfast about to go get ready and I'll still be done before any of them. (Sigh) Well at least we'll hopefully get to church on time....right?

Well got to go cause I need to get to church and praise my God!!!!!! :)

Ok so it's been a bit since I've posted but I'm back. 

Wow Facebook, internet and other social media has so many good uses, can really be a blessing to people and at the same time it can be a nightmare. I pray that we (myself included) use it for the more positive, I'm glad God has allowed me to learn how to use it as a positive tool to reach not only loved ones and friends but it reach across time, distance and other barriers to those that are looking for Jesus, His word (if God used a donkey to speak to a man, why wouldn't He use you and the internet/facebook as a mighty tool as well). So let His shine light through you even on Facebook or whatever other media you use. God bless you all. I hope I made sense, cause running on a few hours of sleep sometimes cause me to get things all jumbled up. 

Good morning Blogger,

I tell you I got more out of the week then I thought I was going to get. Sitting around just hanging out and chatting a door was opened. As this door was opening I just thought to myself wow I've been talking to my husband about this for some time now and the same thing was brought full circle back to my ears.....all my husband said was with God we move forward......I'm really excited and so ready to make this happen....so holding onto to God's hand, His word and His promises we're off.....thank you God for when we least expect it you do amazing things.
So I tell you if there is something you want to do put it to God and when He says go, just go with it for God will have your back.

Good morning bloggers,

Well today is Monday and our summer vacation is over, it always seems so short but I'm thankful to God we got sometime to just relax. Was it perfect not but when is it ever, we laughed, ate, splashed, played, and all that so yeah all that out weight the few bad moments I had. Let's see what did we do, went to downtown Disney, golden corral, the beach, enjoyed eating out, went to West Palm Beach....didn't get to go to St. Augustine cause I had my period, and it rained so the drive-in trip was a bust :( and my hubby got to rest and spend time with the kids and me of course (he works like 45/50+ hours a week)
The great news is that we get to have a mini vacation this weekend, so we're off on Friday to enjoy the few things we didn't get to do this week.

When a Christian asks a person to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior, many say no thank you, not right know, I'm not ready....I know, I use to be one of those people. In my case I thought I'm going to have to give up having a good time, no more parties, music, having to answer to a God (silly cause at the end of it all we all have to answer to HIM), etc. After I was born again I realized that what I "gave up" was nothing compared to what Jesus did for me and you. I see it this way now, in my tiny hand I place all my sorrow, depression, worries, confusion, all  the things I didn't want anymore (the devil lied to me so much for so long it costed me things....) and I handed it to Him, I put in at the foot of the cross. Now when I did that God turned around and just started just started to give me what He has in His hands for me.....love, joy, peace, complete marriage, eternal life and still has so much more lies ahead of me. So what are you afraid of giving up? To Be Continue...............
