Keeping my mindset on positive ~ my choices of thoughts makes such a difference. I have learned to live by Philippians 4:8 ~ Think about these things, whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Life takes us down roads of happiness, but also sorrow. Testing times of faith and the big wonder of why. It takes time to process somethings that happen to us. Other days of trusting beyond our own thoughts and letting God lead the way. Just standing still and letting hope come alive.
Romans 12:1-2 New International Version (NIV)
A Living Sacrifice
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

It is good to think about where God has brought you from in life. The many small miracles he has does for you, your family or friends. Time shows us many things and I can look back to see God at work in lives of those I care about this day. I remember the miracles God has given my family and the times we struggled to put food on the table. I have wondered where God was at times of life and realize now he was always there. My own choices pushed God away and I see that during younger years. I did not quite know how to hold onto God during hard stuff. It took time for me to grow up, grow stronger in God and see his plan unfold for my life.
Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God's love this day
We must all look into a mirror of yesterdays and let it develop us into a stronger person. I say this a lot but I truly know we can grow into a better person. Letting God lead the way is a must for my life. I started the youdontevenknow.org ministry years ago. People do not need to know your complete story of life, God already knows it. He says we can come to him to ask forgiveness and then move forward. People like to stare your mess ups of life and remind you of things. Someone who truly forgives you, does not remind you. My husband Terry pointed that out to me many years ago. My mind thanks God for not reminding of certain things I've done.

Are you ready to forgive yourself? It's time to live in freedom of God's word and his plan for your life. Maybe you already have given your heart to God, but if you haven't, it's simple. Just ask God to come into your heart and forgive you of all your sins of life. Start reading the Bible and letting scripture come alive to you. Ask God to help you connected into a Bible bases church to learn even more. I have found church to be a community of people who connect on different levels. If you live close to Napa, my church is a good one to attend. Hillside Christian Church 100 Anderson Road, Napa Ca. Check out our website for what's happening. Three services on Sunday 9am, 11am and 6:30pm.

God saved my life at point where I needed him. I ask God for friendly who truly would love me and care about me. A family who is amazing and sticks together through it all. I have beautiful grandchildren and time with them. I see the importance of one life and how it can change others. I hope you can see all the things God has give you and the option to grow into a better person daily. Life is too short to get stuck on things you can not change. Change you by prayers and watch God release amazing things into your life. Freedom of yesterdays and freedom in today is amazing in God. Live with heart of praise and a mouth that speaks kind words.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
