Jimerson's AWESOME ANGEL Page

I "snitched" the prayer below from Susan's website (with her permission, of course!) I liked it SO much and I wondered if it was ME that prayed this prayer! After you read it I know you'll want to visit Susan's website cuz I bet you'll love it as MUCH as I did!

Dear God,

So far today, I've done all right

and I'm really feeling good about myself for that.

I haven't gossiped, and I haven't lost my temper.

I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent,

and I haven't harmed anyone in anyway that I know.

I believe that I've done everything exactly the way You would want me to do,

and I'm really proud of myself for that God…

But Lord, here in a few more minutes I am going to get out of bed,

and knowing me the way I do, from then on I'm going to need

a whole lot of Your help!!

Thank you, Lord

AMEN

Mary gave birth to a King but she didn't complain that no one had made reservations for her at the inn. Serving God means serving Him without guarantees --regardless

Troubles got you down? Ever feel overwhelmed? Take Heart! Trouble don't last always. Hang On! Because JOY comes in the Morning!

If God gave us indisputable evidence of His being, we would have no need for faith

Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes he calms His child

Before you go to bed, give your troubles to God. He will be up all night anyway.

Preach the Gospel to all the world and if necessary, use words
--St Francis of Assisi

The best way to never worry about anything is to always pray about everything.

Now here below is ANOTHER little something I "snitched" with permission from ANNIE, and if you haven't seen HER website you are missing something!

Good Morning!

This is GOD!

I will be handling all your problems today.

I will not need your help . . .

So, have a good day!

And don't worry or fret about a thing.

I can handle anything....

nothing's too hard for me.

Because I seek the Lord
and He delivers me
(Psalm 34:4) I have

NO FEAR

Because I can do all things
through Him who strengthens me
(Philippians 4:13) I have

NO DOUBT

Because God
will give me everything I need
(Isaiah 58:11) I have

NO WANT

Because He who tends
to the birds of the air watches
over me (Psalm 84:3) I have

NO CARE

Will I ever stop trusting
in the Lord my God?
(Proverbs 3:5)

NO WAY!

IF YOU WANT ME TO

The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to

Cuz I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When You lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will walk through the darkness
If You want me to

Cuz when I cross over Jordon gonna sing, gonna shout
And I'm gonna look into your eyes and see You never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to You
And I will walk through the valley if You want me to
Yes, I will walk through the valley if You want me to

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above

The gift of true friendship is the most important we can ever give
and the most precious we can ever receive

AND GOD SAID

I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, I know.

I said, "God, I cry a lot.
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears.

I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."

I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross."

I said, "God, but your loved one lives.
And God said, "So does yours."

I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."

I said, "God, it hurts.
And God said, I know."

“For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.” Lamentations 3:33

Even as we suffer, God knows our pain and our suffering. He watched in agony as His Son was beaten and bleeding. He could do nothing to help Him, for it was the only way to save the children He so dearly loved. When we suffer, it is for a greater purpose. God promises that He will work all things, even suffering, to the good of those who love Him. We may not understand it, but we don't have to. Instead, we need to trust in Jesus to take us through life's darkest hour. The road is narrow and dark. It's treacherous and deceitful at times, it seems that if we take one wrong step we will fall, never to recover. What we so easily forget is that a set of footprints already exists in the road, the pathway to heaven. They are the footsteps of our Savior, who paved the way for us so long ago. He suffered more greatly than any of us can ever imagine, and yet He made it home to His Father in heaven. If you look closely, you can see the footprints of Jesus before you. Let Him guide you, trust in His Word and promises. Walk by faith, and not by sight. The Lord is in control of your life. Trust in Him and rest in His unfailing love, for you are in His hands. He shall lead you safely home, where there are no tears or pain. When you feel so alone, heartbroken and in pain, remember that He already knows what you're going through. Yes, He knows.

Some say that my eyes are just like my Daddy's
Some say that my smile is just like my Mama's
but I want everyone to say
that my heart is just like Jesus.

--Roy Lessin

I KNOW YOUR NAME

...Yes, I know your name
Every prayer you pray
I'm the one who brought you to this place
The voice who sings to you
The hand that clings to you
Oh my child, I've always known your name...

--from Michael W. Smith's "Live the Life" CD

JUST THINK...
You are here not by chance, but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you and made you the person you are.
He compares you to no one else-you are one of a kind.
You lack nothing that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation.

--Roy Lessin

KEEP ON

...I want you to trust Me with your future--
I will do what is good and what is best.

When things are shaking, I will keep you steady...
when things are hurting, I will heal the pain...
when things are uncertain, I will be your guide...
when things are unclear, I will be your wisdom...
when things are overwhelming, I will be your strength...
when things are dark, I will be your light...
when things are hectic, I will be your rest.

It brings Me great pleasure to know your heart is trusting in Me. Keep On in My strength, keep on in My joy, keep on in My peace, keep on in My love.

--Roy Lessin

NEVER BEEN UNLOVED

I have been unfaithful 
I have been unworthy 
I have been unrighteous 
And I have been unmerciful 

I have been unreachable 
I have been unteachable 
I have been unwilling 
And I have been undesirable 

And sometimes I have been unwise 
I've been undone by what I'm unsure of 
But because of you 
And all that you went through 
I know that I have never been unloved 

I have been unbroken 
I have been unmended 
I have been uneasy 
And I've been unapproachable 
I've been unemotional 
I've been unexceptional 
I've been undecided 
And I have been unqualified 

Unaware--I have been unfair 
I've been unfit for blessings from above 
But even I can see 
The sacrifice You made for me 
To show that I have never been unloved 

It's because of you 
And all that you went through 
I know that I have never been unloved

--by Michael W Smith/Wayne Kirkpatrick

Hebrews 13:2

Dance Like No One's Watching

Author Unknown

We convince ourselves, that life will be better
AFTER we get married, then have a baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough
and we'll be more content when they are.
After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.
We will surely be happy when they grow out of that stage.
We tell ourselves that our life will be complete
when our spouse gets his or her act together
when we get a nicer car,
when we are able to go on a nice vacation,
or when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right NOW!
Because if not now, when?
Life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said,
"For a long time it had seemed to me
that life was about to begin -- real life.
But, there was always some obstacle in the way,
Something to be gotten through first,
Some unfinished business,
Time still to be served,
Or a debt to be paid.
THEN life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see, that there is no WAY to happiness.
Happiness IS the way.
So, treasure every moment that you have and
Treasure it more because you shared it with someone special,
special enough to spend your time.....
and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting
until you finish school, until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids, until your kids leave the house,
until you get the job of your dreams, until you retire,
until you get married, until you get divorced,
until Friday night, until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid for,
until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter,
Decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Thought for the day:
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And.....dance like no one's watching.

THE WARRIOR

This morning my thoughts traveled along
To a place in my life where days have long since
gone. Beholding an image of what I used to be
As visions were stirred, and God spoke to me

He showed me a Warrior, a soldier in place
Positioned by Heaven, yet I saw not the face
I watched as the Warrior fought enemies That
came from the darkness with destruction for me

I saw as the Warrior would dry away tears
As all of Heaven's Angels hovered so near
I saw many wounds on the Warrior's face
Yet weapons of warfare were firmly in place

I felt my heart weeping, my eyes held so much
As God let me feel the Warrior's prayer touched
I thought "how familiar" the words that
were prayed. The prayers were like lightening
that never would fade

I said to God, "please, the Warrior's name"
He gave no reply, he chose to refrain. I asked,
"Lord, who is broken that they need such
prayer? He showed me an image of
myself standing there

Bound by confusion, lost and alone, I felt
prayers of the Warrior carry me home. I asked
"Please show me Lord, this Warrior so true"
I watched and I wept, for Mother...
the Warrior, was you!

I'm a little angel.
Of course I'm just pretend.
I'm nothing like the angels
that heaven sends.
I'm here as a reminder
that in everything you do,
you're shielded & covered
by the Father's care for you.
You will never be forsaken
or left her all alone.
For Jesus is your shepherd
and heaven is your home.
