By My power I will make My people strong,
and by My authority they will go wherever they wish.
I, the Lord , have spoken!”
[Zechariah 10:12 New Living Translation]
And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in His name, saith the LORD.
[Zechariah 10:12 King James Version]
Good Afternoon Beloved,
I hope all is well with you … if it isn’t it soon shall be
. I like Zechariah 10:12 … especially the “walk up and down in His name” part. You see, I had this crazy freak accident Friday night that landed me in the emergency room, and my poor foot in a splint. This could not have happened at a more inopportune time, we have a production this weekend. This stageplay is a phenomenal piece of work, because of the prayer, time, talent, love and energy that has gone into it. Not going is not an option for me. I remember so many other times, when the craziest things would happen right before ‘show-time’. Theater Ministry, is ministry. We have fun, laugh and cut-up, but understand, anytime God is glorified, people are edified, and the enemy is exposed, prepare for little hindrances. I hold to what I was taught long ago by my theater school teachers, “the show must go on”. That old adage is not just good to remember in theatrical circles. That “stick-to-it” attitude is necessary in whatever we do. Many people give up to easily. Discernment is crucial. It will let us know whether, to hold on like a pit bull, or let the thing go. As children of God, we may be down, but we are never ever, ever, ever out…. know that! As long as there is life in us, things can and do change. Seasons come and go. For those who do not like Winters on the east coast… hold on spring is right around the corner. For those who do not like the rainy, pollen-saturated days of Spring… hang on, hot Summer is coming, and just when we think we are about to roast alive… here comes cool, laid back Fall. Seasons change, situations change. Our natural environment thrives best when all of the seasons operate together in harmony. The same with our ‘seasons’. If things are too easy all of the time, we have a tendency to become lethargic, passive and unprepared. If things are too harsh for too long, we become despondent. God knows this. He knows what we’re made of. He knows what we need so much better then we do. We need to develop a “bounce back” in us like the little weeble toys of old. Remember them, “they weeble-wobble, but they don’t fall down!” .

Each of us has our own destiny. A path our Creator knew we could handle. I have vowed not to waste any more time lamenting over what I have, or don’t have and what somebody else has or doesn’t have. What God gave them, He gave them and jealously is unbecoming, and completely beneath a child of the King of Kings…. ‘isms’ and ‘skisms’ eat away at us, and make us weak … God said that He would make His people strong…
… and that Beloved is Good News!
U Blessed
Have A Fabulous Day
