POTS AND PANS

Good morning, "Safe Haven" Group Members

(Psalms 9:9-10), The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed; a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsake those who seek you.

My siblings and I always had chores, just like any other family. Bussing suds at my home were a lot different than normal ones. Each dish had to be cleaned, dried, and put away for the kitchen to be clean.

It was 3a.m. in the morning, and in our silence, we were trying to remember whose turn it was pretending to be asleep while hearing dish after dish, being thrown from the cabinets into the sink. The sound of water and dishes hitting the sink wakes the entire household. No one cares that it is 3a.m., the only concern is that one dish was dirty. I had the chore of washing dishes that week so I'm the one getting out of bed at that time.  

The water was so hot I could barely put my hands in the water to grab a dish out to clean. Behind me is shouting, "pick it up", I'm crying profusely, my hands are burning, it feels as if my skin is going to start peeling off, and I haven't washed one dish yet.  Am I going to be late for school? Is anyone coming to save me?

TARRY 1 HOUR

Good morning, I speak blessings upon your life. I pray that all of your needs are met and no weapon formed against you shall prosper and may the angels of the Lord keep you and protect you.  (Matthew 26:36) Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them,  “Sit here while I go over there and pray .  (40)  Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.  “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour? ”  he asked Peter. As I was in my worship time, the Lord said to me, "tarry one hour". In Matthew 26:36, Jesus went to the Father to pray. If Jesus prayed, that should tell us that we have no excuse when it comes to prayer. How is your prayer life today? Could you tarry for one hour?  When I began having my prayer time with the Lord, it was not easy. I had to get up 1 hour before work and pray. There were times when I rolled out of bed. I did this every day and soon I couldn't wait to get up to meet t...

YOU NEED A SPOTTER

Good morning, I pray that you are blessed and highly favored by the Lord Jesus and allow Him to guide your footsteps and create in you a clean heart and righteous spirit. Acts 2:25-28, "I saw the Lord always before me.  Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.  Therefore, my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.  You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with your presence". For games like golf, bow & arrows, and weightlifting you need a spotter.  The spotters' job is that they must have extra eyes.  With golf and bow & arrows, the way the wind is blowing, the temperature, and other things play a huge factor in both.  When lifting weights, you have a spotter standing over you to make sure that you don't hurt yourself and that you can lift the amount of weight that is put on that barbell.  If s...

DON'T CLOSE THAT WINDOW

Good morning my sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus! (Psalms 32:4-5), For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah I acknowledge my sin unto thee and mine iniquity have I not hid.    I said I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Don’t close that window.    Each time that you pray, asking the Lord for His forgiveness you are keeping that glimmer of hope open, the window slightly open.    Each day that I loaded my body with drugs and alcohol I still prayed and worship God.    There was a time in my life when I considered myself to be too deep in sin. I should have or could have at any given time died.    I’m telling you about me, who I used to be.   You're not a hypocrite because you attend worship service or praise God, you're a sinner that loves the Lord, and that's why you praise and worship God! I always share my st...
