Have You Seen God Today?

Have you seen God/Love today?

 I saw God today.

He was there in my cozy, peaceful sleep this morning and the bird's lullaby outside my window.

He was there in my husband's good morning smile and sweet embrace and my teenagers'   "I Love You Mom" as they hurriedly set off for school.

 I saw Him, as I passed the friendly, waving palm trees standing at attention in front of my house.

He was there when the kind neighbor chased the squirrel away and replaced the lid on his neighbor's trash can.

He was the green lights which helped me arrive on time.

He's my reliable Ford that safely takes me everywhere I need to go.

He's in the text message of a dear friend reaching out to chat.

He's in the beautifully, varying shades of green leaves on our tree-lined streets and the pinkish, purply majestic Florida sunsets.

 He's there when I happily turn on my laptop in my pajamas and jump on a conference call.

He's there in my morning Mocha Coffee sessions with hubby.

He's in the gentle reminder that my two front tires need replacing.

He's in the predictable pitter-patter of my strong heart, unfurrowed brow and easy going smile.

He's everywhere I look and impossible to miss.

I Make My Own Sunshine

Have you seen the Lowe's commercial? You know the one that shows a woman rolling out a carpet of thick, green, grass already filled with these fuzzy, pink flowers accompanied by this incredibly peppy song? I found the song on Youtube by Alyssa Bonagura called "I Make My Own Sunshine" and fell in love with it! Thank you Alyssa! It really does make me feel like the sun is shining on me when I hear it. So for all of my friends that experience the Monday blues- listen to this for a pick me up: i make my own sunshine..ooo..ooooh..oooh..

Love- The Weapon of Mass Creation

The other day I was driving and meditating on God's love.  Then a car pulled up in front of me with a bumper sticker that read "God is the Answer" but I saw "Love is the Answer".  God is LOVE.   I am learning that when you pour love into any issue of life it will easily resolve itself.  Love never fails because God never fails.  Everything He does is inspired by love.

 When you pour love in your children they grow up secure, self-confident and happy.  When you unconditionally love your spouse, your marriage becomes

What's Love Got To Do With It

When I met my husband I vowed to find a way to use God's Love to seal our marriage and keep it fresh, sparkly and new.  I'm not talking about just romantic love, but the kind of love that's established in God's love. That's the only kind of love that gets stronger through time.  More than half of marriages fall prey to indifference and "day-to-day hum-drum" living.  This indifference causes a marriage to slowly become weak and vulnerable to strife, a lack of intimacy and separation.  Way before couples break up, they break-up emotionally.  One or both give up on loving each other. 

So from early on I began collecting the emails we'd sent to each other when we were first getting to know one another, the chats and the greeting cards. I even kept a journal which chronicled

Manifest the Best

I am so excited about life! Life is such an adventure when you understand that YOU are creating your life with your thoughts and feelings! Today while working at home, I took a break and sat out on the patio with my "The Power" book by Rhonda Byrne reading about how your feelings are the catalyst that create your life. I think about this past year and am so grateful by how far I've come and how God has mercifully showed me how to overcome the fears I had experienced.  It is such a relief to know that my responsibility in this life is not to concern myself with HOW something I want will come to me, but to only EXPECT it with my good feelings and God will do the rest.

Most people get stuck because they want certain things in life but don't see the money they need to get those things.  You don't need money to GET what you want.  Reality Check! There is nothing standing in the way to what you are seeking.  Before any business transaction takes place a spiritual transaction always precedes it. Your feelings are the currency required in exchange for what you want.  All you need to do is

Faith and your Emotions: Part II

What do your emotions have to do with your faith? Absolutely everything! If you feel down and discouraged it’s because you are not expecting the best therefore your faith is not working. Faith is always expecting the best and so it ALWAYS feels good! You are spending your precious time thinking or meditating on things that do not serve the very best life that you deserve. For most people it happens by default. You see, hear, feel, touch or taste something in your world then react instinctively to it. You either feel good as a result of what you have perceived or you feel bad. Let me show you what I mean in this scenario:

Let's say you’re driving to work. As soon as you get on the highway someone immediately cuts you off and runs you off the road.

You can react in 2 ways:
