Prayers & Thoughts

I'd like all to take a moment to use our power of prayer and thought to lift up those that are in tragic situations. When time of natural disaster strike us, we feel many things. Among the massive amounts of emotions that flood our being are feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. When our hands seem tied and we feel we are without recourse, we must look elsewhere. If we look deep within ourselves we will find the means to connect with a force that is well able to help us. It takes only honesty and sincerity to activate this connection and communicate what you really desire Him to know. This means that words are not always needed. And you definitely don't need to be long-winded or eloquent. You can direct and straight to the point.

"7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

(Matthew 6:7-8)

Many here in the USA are trying to come to grips with the devastation left by hurricane Katrina. This natural disaster also left much devastation in many of the neighboring islands. But we must realize that there are many things that never make it in the media's limelight. So we can help in many ways but the first and best way to start is with our thoughts and prayers.

Special Thanks to All

I want to take this time to say Thank you to All of you that took time out of your busy schedules to come out and support me at my first book signing in Jacksonville, Florida on August 20th. It was very nice to meet the people that support me through prayers, comments, word of mouth, and purchases.

Someone somewhere is always doing something but it is very heart-warming when special people take the time to give of themselves to help or build others up. There is no shortage of prosperity in this world so we can all give of ourselves to help another. Whether the assistance you give is big or small you will be edifying another and maybe even help them make the most of their time (we can all benefit from better time management).

So Kudos ...Bravo Zulu ... Toot-Toot !
for all of your support

Do you have a hard time giving?

I would like to say the principle that tells us: we receive more blessings by giving than receiving, works for any who will embrace it with a joyful heart.

The world use the principles in the Bible and they prosper but many Christians don't embrace them or if they do it's not with the right heartset.

The Principle Works! And it works quickly.
" ...it is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35)KJV

Those words appear in red letters....so you know those are words from the Christ. I wouldn't question those words. I'd accept them and apply them to my daily actions and every motive/intent that's in my heart. Ask the Father for directions and wait for the answers. Once I hear the answers, I follow them to the letter.

I'm always looking for a way to help someone or give something away. Many days I leave the house shopping for something to give away. I must say most of the time I receive multiple returns on the gift before I get back home. The word of God is true and if you (this means anyone) want to receive then look for ways to freely give.

Don't look at what the person you're giving something to will do for you. In fact, I don't want them to do anything for me. Why? Because then the word that God sent out will have to perform a thing on my behalf. God can bless much greater than man. And you never know when he'll cause a man's heart to be turned towards you and show favor to you.

Principle in action:

One day my family was out driving with no particular destination. At the stop light a man had a sign asking for money (which put a smile on my husbands heart). Not that the man had a need but that he was willing to ask for help instead of stealing and that this man was presenting an opportunity for my husband to give. He hadn't stopped the car completely (the light was red), and he had already undid his seatbelt and was lifting himself out of the seat trying to get his wallet out of his back pocket. He quickly pulled out $5 which was all he had and excitedly giving it to the guy. It did take the man by surprise the way my husband was acting.

And here's the reward to that gift:

Later that evening we were browsing through a store and I saw some vitamin supplements that I thought were identical to the bottle we had purchased earlier that day. I took a bottle to my husband to examine. He then told me that they were a little better than the ones we can gotten earlier because they had not only an extra ingredient but that they were stronger. His thing was that it would have been better to get those than than the ones we had purchased. I have no problem returning an item for a refund so I told him I'll return the one item that we'd purchased for $30 and purchase this new item.

And now for the kicker:

Why is it more blessed to give than to receive? We purchased 50 bottles of that supplement that day. The reason we purchased so many was because I believe in stocking up and taking full advantage of a blessing that presents itself. The new and better supplement was only $1.00 per bottle. WOW! Look at the principle of God work.

It is better if we concentrate on building up spiritual wealth not natural wealth (nothing wrong with wealth either it's just not what's driving us), because the spiritual will cause the natural to manifest. We do good to stand on the word and trust in the Father and not be moved by what we can see or touch.

Moments that refresh

I've been trying to quiet my inner self in order to better enjoy my surroundings. I feel it is very beneficial to take the time to thoroughly enjoy some of the things you come in contact with during the run of a day. It's like taking a personal timeout without physically leaving an area. There's no need to use vacation or sick time and it doesn't cost you a penny. Whether it's sunshine, rain, landscape, people, or roses take the time to enjoy something that you're not closely connected to. These moments are refreshing and can be quick "picker uppers". There is nothing quite as calming as the warm rays of the morning sun gently touching your face. Nor is there anything as relaxing as the sound of waves crashing against the rocks or rushing to kiss the shoreline. Well at least in my world. I'm sure if you stop for a moment or two you'll find some special things occurring in your life.

Vacation over - back to work

Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for your patience. The intimatewalk.com site has been updated. We're halfway into the summer break(school let's out differently here in VA). My trip to Florida was very productive. I was privileged to meet so many new people. I remember faces very well but names seem to escape me. All in all I really do enjoy meeting people and helping when and where I can. I look forward to edifying the body of Christ. It seems that many take to tearing down(speaking negatively about people or situations), but I must say it is exhilarating and comforting to build others up. The opportunity to build up or tear down will present itself today so when it comes take full advantage of it. Your growth comes when you can act like Christ without trying to.
