Philippines Chronicles: When God Speaks! Part 5

So I am now back at my home. I'm defeated and embarrassed. I leave my luggage in the car because I don't even want to think about I was supposed to be on a plane flying over the Pacific Ocean right now. 

I went into my room and gave myself 15 minutes to wallow in this depression that was creeping over over. I cried, I screamed and I said every thing I could say to get my anger out. I was so frustrated, I got a pillow and punched until my arms hurt. then when the 15 minutes, well maybe a total of 30 minutes, was over. I washed my face. 


I went to my desktop and at down to begin making plans to get on the Thursday flight. I called China Southern first. I was hoping they would have better news than the ticketing agent had at SFO. However, they did the same told me to call Priceline. I went to their website, to confirm that there was a flight on Thursday. Then I called Priceline.


I told the Representative what happened and they conformed that there was a flight on Thursday on China Southern identical to the flight I would have been on today. Which means I would leave at 1:55 PM on Thursday April 23rd. For the first time since realizing I left my purse I smiled. There was a ray of hope. then the man I was speaking with told me to get on the flight I would have to pay 200.00 change fee to China Southern, $30.00 fee to Priceline to make the change and the difference between the price of the ticket I had paid for and the new ticket.  The total was $463.30. I thanked the ticket agent. Told him I would call back.


I checked my accounts to see if I had the money to pay and all I had was $300. I was short $163.00. So I said to myself, "God this is when you step in."What do I do now? Help Lord!"


Now the ticket agent told me that he could not secure the price and if I called back later the price could be different. It could go up or down. At this point I was not phase by that becasue I didnt even have the amount he was asking for. I had to wait on God. I asked a few friends that knew what was going on, to pray for God's intervention. 


I can admit my faults, and at this point I felt doubtful. I even began to questioned if I was really suppose to God. I had questioned it on the drive back to Stockton and God had rebuked me strongly. He forced me to remember what He had done up to this point. However, here was another impossible situation and why does it always have to be hard for me? Why do I always have to fight for my blessings? Why cant things just go as planned for me?


I knew that Stephanie might not know so I got on FB and sent her an inbox ato inform her what was going on and bought her up to speed with the latest news. then I said, "Help Lord!"


I wanted to post something on FB and ask the people of God to pray like they had prayed before, this would be waht I would normally do. this time however, something said no. I could hear Stephanie saying not everyone is supporting you that says they are. You cant tell everybody everything. The One thing I knew was I wanted God to work this out and I did not want anyone to hinder or speak negatively. So I did not post anything.  I didn't even call my mom to tell her that I missed my flight. I would wait on God to speak and move on my behalf. I did not want to manipulate the situation at all. So I vowed to myself that I would not tell anyone else at this point until God fixed it. 


Keep reading, tomorrow more will be revealed.

It's A Real Change that is Needed

Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. As a man thinks, so is he. Our mind is a powerful muscle. Yep I said muscle because we must use it and exercise it. Just as you can sculpt your natural (bodily) muscles and train them to cause you to have a healthier body mass, it is also true for your mind.

The Bible says that we should have the mind of Christ. That his mind should be in us, however you can't do this effectively if you don't allow transformation to take place. You must allow renewal to occur.


So many of us have stinking thinking and that tarnishes our lives and purpose. It blinds us because we are so afraid of the unknown.

What if we just allowed God to be God and asked him to help us think as he thinks. Well.... I use a theory about the scripture about God being slayed even before the foundations of the world. One day, I was depressed about what I had gone through in my life, and God gave me this understanding. With this, it broke my depression instantly. Imagine this: one day God was sitting on his throne and wondered what if.... I created a world. A world that would house free will creatures that would be able to chose a relationship with me or not. He saw this world being created. He saw the events of our choices... He even saw the end of this world. But most importantly he saw his sacrifice on the cross and that it would not matter to some. He saw the hatred, the love, he saw the evil and the good. Think about what you have gone through in life and know that God saw it and when it was all said and done. God's thoughts became a reality and he spoke let there be!

Now some would find this to be disturbing. .. I find it to be comforting. Why? Because it allowed me to see that God had a plan even before I took my first breath. Just as Christ had to bear the cross, his resurrection had been planned. Let that sink in. So let this mind be in you.... The mind of Christ. You are not forgotten, there is a plan for your life and all the things you have endured and experience is a part of his plan. Nothing has taken Jim by surprise. So if we sit still... I promise you his thoughts will rush in and consume you... The healing (Resurrection) you need will emerge. ‪#‎DontCountMeOut2015‬

In today’s microwave society, we want everything in an instant. And we want it now. Between instant gratification and a sense of entitlement, we often forget that GOD is GOD and HIS will be done. We can’t lag behind HIM and we surely can’t jump ahead of HIM. Linda A. Hillman’s new book, IN THE MEANTIME, addresses this very subject—waiting upon GOD. 

Through vignettes of the Prophet Elijah’s life, Linda reveals GOD’s plan for waiting upon HIM. This concise but rich study provides insight into the character of GOD and how HE takes us through steps of preparation, motivation and confirmation in getting us through our seasons of waiting. The beauty and truth of Linda’s message is that you can have the same glorious breakthrough as Elijah had.
