Awkward or Blessing

Good Evening

Have you ever had one of those moments when you just were not sure if it was an awkward moment or a blessing?

Well, I am still trying to decide which one I have had...

I know that God is still in the business of making miracles happen so I am going to stand firm on that the moment I am referring is a Blessing.

I will not let satan take my joy because he does not have that power over me...Jesus is still in control of my life...and no matter what that moment tried to do...I am ok with the moment...

Because:

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me...
I once was lost but now I am found...was blind but now I see...

T'was Grace that taught my heart to feel,
and Grace my fears relieved...how precious that day that Grace appeared...the hour I first believed...

My chains are gone...I have been set free...My God, My Savior...has ransomed me...And like a flood, His Mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing Grace...

The Lord has promised good to me...His word my hope secures...He will my shield and portion be...
As long as life endures....

My chains are gone...I have been set free...My God, My Savior...has ransomed me...And like a flood, His Mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing Grace...My chains are gone...I have been set free...My God, My Savior...has ransomed me...And like a flood, His Mercy reigns, unending love, Amazing Grace..

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow...the sun forbear to shine...But God, who call me here below...
Will be forever mine...will be forever mine... YOU are forever mine..."

Sung by: Chris Tomlin...

These are many of the words that get me through the day no matter if it is "a moment" or arthritis...

God has saved me...He is forever mine...My Hope is secured in His word! Amen!

God's love has taught me to truly understand the difference between Awkward and a Blessing...I choose to see this moment that I speak of as a Blessing...because God is in all things...He is in control...no matter what...

Thank you Lord for getting me through this moment and so many others...that have were in the past and I am sure there are many more to come....but I will not fear for thou art with me...

So until next time...pray for me and I will continue to pray for you....

God Bless....

What a beautiful Sunrise!

Hello everyone,

I used to think the best time of the day was when you could jump into your bed and sleep! (back when I was a teenager and all I did was sleep!!!)

Now as an adult I truly believe that the best times of the day are sunrise and sunset!
This is the time of day when you can see God's artistic creativity at it's best! The colors are amazing! They are vibrant and exciting! They make you say, "Thank you God for giving me the gift of sight!"
Wow! I enjoy waking up each and every morning to see what He has painted for me!
It is so beautiful and it never ceases to amaze me!

See what I mean? The colors are beautiful! There are purples, yellows, pinks, blues, etc.

It makes you want to get up in the morning to see what will be there next!

It helps me to remember the good days are  still good days....and the not so good days are still good days!

This tells me: Tammy, Look at what God has created so that you can enjoy it! Get up! Go to work and forget the aches and pains that may come on occasion! Enjoy life for what it is worth. Don't worry about things that we can not change but work on what you can...Go out there and exercise...walk...walk and pray...walk and praise Him...walk...and see what God has done for you!..Amen...

Until next time....please keep me in prayer and I will do the same for you!

Enjoy the sunrises....Amen

Hallelujah

Thank you God! Thank you all for all of your prayers! What a great meeting today! God is so good! Amen! All the time! Outcome of meeting: 1) new committee member assigned 2) person assigned has been assigned because of their experience with biblical matters. (others not sure what to do with papers that have scriptures throughout) thank you Lord! 3) we are in track for graduation Other info: 1) friends and family calling with their flight schedules 2) so excited 3) mom and auntie always praying 4) grandmother is excited and can't wait to come 5) haven't had time to feel the issues with RA because it's been a great day even with the rainy day! 6) love my students! They are truly the most interesting bunch! God bless you all...until next time please continue to pray for me and I will continue to pray for you! Amen!

Bittersweet!

Hello everyone

God's Blessings!

It has been such a great weekend! We have been to a wedding, we danced, and
enjoyed our friends from church!
We were able to see Tajah! yeah!
But tomorrow Jazzy will go back to school to finish her Freshman year!
I can not believe that my girls are all in college!
Two are about to graduate and the third is just at the beginning of her journey!
What a blessing that is to have three girls in college and taking that journey to being leaders in this world!
Thank you God for the blessing of my girls and their wonderful gift of being strong Christian women!

Until next time...please pray for me while I continue to pray for you!
I have an appointment with my committee chair on Monday evening so please keep that in prayer and ask God to intervene with my committee! In Jesus' name...Amen!

It has been such a blessing!

Hello Everyone!

First I want to thank my aunt for reminding me not to claim the RA as MINE!
So, I hand it over to Jesus and let Him deal with the issue.
I am so blessed to be able to do the things that I do!
I can walk, run, jump, jog, exercise and work out!

It is so great to have family! It is great to have people that care surround you and pray for you!
I am so blessed to have each and everyone of you that follow my blog because I have prayer warriors on my side each and every day that pray for that Rheumatoid Arthritis to be delivered from our bodies. Amen!

So I thank you for always being in my court, on my side and on my prayer team!

It is such a blessing to have each of you on my side!

So back to writing my dissertation it is!

God Bless

Until the next time, please continue to pray for me and I will continue to pray for you!

If you hear of any new treatments for RA please let me know!
I am trying not to eat red meat so we will see how that goes...
Thanks

Thank You! Martin Luther King, Jr.

I do not say thank you for the day off but Thank You for the fight you had within you to make a change in our lives for today!
Thank you to your family for their sacrifice!
Thank you to those that marched with you!
Thank you for having a dream!

Today was one of those days in which I can just be excited to just be me!
Nothing special happened!
Nothing special occurred!
I was just free to be me!

I woke up this morning and although the Arthritis that runs through my body...keeps me on my toes and at times in pain...I am free to be me...Free to dream....Free to vote...Free to speak...Free to pray...Free to sing...Free to just be...Just free...

Thank you to all of those who have paved the path for all of us!

So until the next time, I will pray for you and continue to pray for me....
God Bless...

Great Sunday

Today was a great day!
Church was amazing!
The message was good!

My hands were swollen and joints were achy but I was able to raise my arms and praise Him!

So my message for RA today is God is good and I was there to tell Him yet another day how great He is!

Praise Him in the morning!
Praise Him in the evening!
Praise Him all the time!

Until next time...please pray for me and I will continue to pray for you!
