HEART 2 HEART

Some days I doubt my calling? I write because it truly is my connection with God. I find if I am not writing and reflecting on what I read in the word my mind tends to doubt. Am I on the right track?

Today, I opened my bible and this verse popped out at me!

“So that with one heart and one voice I may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15:6 NLT)

Perfect timing! A reminder that I live by this mission.
God's uses my voice to teach.
God gives me words to write from His heart to my heart. One Heart! Heart 2 Heart.

PRAYER: Thank you God for one heart and one voice. May You always get the glory!

GET DRESSED

Romans 13:14 "Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh." (NIV)

In the the Message it says "Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!"

What is God’s desire for me now, this very moment? I am clothing myself with the Lord Jesus Christ. I cannot think about what will gratify my desires. Simply to be at peace with Him and that He is enough for me to get through the day.

My mind wanders to those suffering. Those waiting for healing. Those that are getting ready for procedures. Those that aren’t healing. The suffering. The Lord says “blessed are those who are grieving for they will be comforted.” I always make sure I look up words to see if I am using the right word. .

grieve =to distress mentally; cause to feel grief or sorrow or suffer.

I am not suffering or distressing mentally because I know that Jesus is enough for me. But I ache for those that don’t know that Jesus is the comforter and healer. I just want to glorify in my journey. My choices of what to do with my time.

That’s why I am writing at this moment. To just be with God, pray for those who are suffering and make sure I have clothed myself with Him.

PRAYER: My rest is with You Jesus. Lord I trust you today. I clothe myself You. Amen.

PILLOW TALK

Dear Friend:

"Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever." Brennan Manning

I came across this saying quoted from a author I respect and appreciate. I was reading the verse “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you along, O Lord, make me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8 NIV).

Scripture reading provokes me to ask myself questions in this case two question came “When I am sleeping at night do I feel safe? Am I sleeping in peace?”

If you are like me I have nights where I am easily in peace and feeling safe but every once in a while the devil creeps in and my mind reacts to his loose thoughts I may all the sudden have.

What should I have done today…

I could have done that…

I should have done…

I worried about…

What do I do about…

This list of demands compile and then I find my mind at war. I am on my guard from this game, but I have to admit sometimes the thoughts get to me. I have had to come up with a plan of what will work for me to make these battles far and few between, even in crisis.

Brennan is honest about life and truth. If I read scripture and trust Jesus (who personifies hope and truth) it calms my spirit and that remembrance helps me to form a prayer and then finally I drift back to sleep.

The gift of a new day, the peace of mind resting on our pillows is God’s gift. It is sometimes easier said than done.

The Power of the Word! A powerful God tool. No evil can resist grace forever. His time is short…

PRAYER: May the Lord of Hope help and me to be disciplined with my loose thoughts. Thank you for helping me cast down the thoughts in obedience to You. Amen.

Topics Elaine Speaks On

A DAY IN MARJORIE OVERLOAD'S LIFE

Your closets may be clean, your spices in alphabetical order, but how’s the space between your ears? When the pace of life leaves little time to process and organize our thoughts, our minds can become cluttered with “woulda, shoulda, coulda”. When the temptation to put ourselves down or compare ourselves to others strikes, defeat and condemnation can lure us into faulty thinking,

Through humor and drama Elaine shows what a chaotic mind looks like. Listen as she helps to identify “stinkin’ thinkin’ and what the Bible has to say about it. Then learn about the tools God has given us to overcome these thoughts and move to become the person God created you to be.

Personalities Plus

Do you find yourself trying to change the people around you? Frustrating, isn’t it? Why can’t everyone be just like me? But do you really know yourself? Take the test; find out what makes you you. Understanding ourselves – and others – better allows us to change what we can and live with what we can’t. Truly, a life changing experience. Elaine’s passion for teaching the personalities comes from the great success she has had personally in her own relationships, especially with her husband and children. She bases the teaching on Romans 12:18 If possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Elaine is a certified Personality Trained through Florence Littauer’s Classervices, Inc. Classervices, located in New Mexico, is a Christian Organization that teaches individuals how to speak and write professionally. They have been around for over 40 years.

The Greatest Gift Ever

Using a wrapped gift, Elaine demonstrates that Jesus Christ is the greatest Christmas gift ever given. Using Scripture and her testimony, Elaine clearly communicates the gospel message and invites listeners to receive this incredible gift from God. The Greatest Gift Ever is a wonderful message for a Christmas tea, or any other evangelistic event and can be customized with a skit for your special gathering. How can you create your testimony, so you can share with others?

LOVING GOD-We love because He first loved us. Busyness always keeps us from meeting with God, where our deepest satisfaction comes from. King David writes in Psalm 63 his desire toward God. His satisfaction in God. His dependence upon God, and assurance of safety. Elaine does a drama called “I Invite You Into My Sanctuary” describing the place where she sees God’s power and glory. She will challenge you to commit yourself to God, to be easy and pleased, and quiet from the fear of evil. Explore with her the answer to the questions “how and why David loved God more than his own life?”

Theater with a message:
RUTH- There is many messages that can come through in the story of Ruth. As Ruth trusts God with her life she finds God blesses her and unimaginable and amazing things happen in her life (length of this one women show can be altered to fit the duration of any event).

THE INNKEEPERS DAUGHTER- A woman, Ana, tells her story of living and working at an Inn, where the miraculous event of Jesus’ birth occurred, and her life was changed forever.

A LOOK AT CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD- The wonder of childlike joy is expressed when three young sweet innocent sisters come together to read the Christmas story that always teaches them the rich beauty of Christmas. This year they realize they need a gift for the baby Jesus, what will it be?.
