Use Your Sword

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 NKJV Again, I find the words of Joyce Meyer so right on! As I've said before, I try to read her Confident Woman Daily Devotional everyday. "No, Satan, I am good in God. I am not good in myself, but His goodness dwells in me, and He has a good plan for my life. I have overcome my past because I have let go of what lies behind and am pressing on to the good things that lie ahead," "Speaking the truth of God's Word to the devil is the only way to see a mind-set change. Bring your thoughts into line with the Word and press on toward the good things He has in store for you. The choice is yours!" Joyce Meyer. This reminds me of a bible study I was in years ago. The leader of the group always said "Satan, get behind me!" She said she told herself that several times a day, I always got a kick out that. But you know what? It works. And it has stuck with me all these years. If I find myself with negative thoughts or actions, I often whisper to myself-"Satan, get behind me!" Like Joyce says, choose God's Word to defeat the enemy! Get behind me Satan! You dirty dog! :) God Bless!

Morning Coffee

"I've been on a few diets because I can't get enough to eat on just one!" This is the saying on the front of my favorite coffee cup. I drink coffee out of this cup almost every morning. My son gave me this cup, what do you think he was trying to say? Love him anyway...;)

Wise Words

We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much. — Ronald Reagan

Lost My Vision......

Greetings People! A couple months ago I posted about our "vision." A piece I got from Joel Osteen. He talked about our vision...how we see ourselves. How we need to stay positive to move in a positive direction. It was a great lesson, I totally agreed, I got it. I vowed to get positive, be thankful, vision myself happy, healthy, thin, debt free, diet free, yada yada! Well, as I was reading through my posts and came across that one, I realized how I had slipped back into the old whiner I often am. UGH! Message to self: I am blessed, I am loved, I am healthy, I am smart, I am HIS child, I am forgiven. I AM a Groovey Mom! Okay, good, I needed that, have a great weekend- and remember-You are AWESOME!!!!

John 14:6

John 14:6 New International Version (NIV) 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. I love the book of John....read it. That's all I'm gonna say. :)

Earth's Final Moments

This is what I posted on my Common Sense Page today-and then realized this is what I want to say today as a Grooveymom as well.
I have been reading John Hagee's Earth's Final Moments.
As disturbing as it is...it also brings me peace and security knowing God's Word is true. With all the turmoil in the world, simply turning on the news can be one of the hardest things to do these days. Obamacare, nuclear war, Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, the Middle East, Egypt, terrorists, killings, riots, you know what I mean, the list goes on and on. These are truly turbulent times!
But here's the deal, the bible tell us all of this! As Christians why are we surprised when we hear this news? I know one reason, amidst all of this turmoil, HE gives us HOPE. He tells us what is to come, but also says no one will know the exact time of His return. HE will come like a thief in the night. And while we are here on earth, we are to love, work, live our lives as Christ would, but know that HE will return!
So, how do we get through all these scary times? Faith. Keep your faith. Keep your focus on HIM. And know all things to come are in HIS hands.
The last line of this book (I recommend you all read it) says "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad-the best is yet to be." Amen! :)
