Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let Israel say:“His love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say:“His love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.” (Psalms 118: 1-4)
Hello Everyone!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, HOORAY! Many of us will either travel to gather with families and friends or remain in the comfort of your own home with your families. Whatever your pleasure, ENJOY....ENJOY...ENJOY!
Isn't it amazing how time flies?!? Lord willing, we're about to embrace another season and New Year. Reflecting on past events, there are some things such as people, places etc that have either withered or passed away. Only remains left behind are its memories. You may not ever be able to receive or give back love in return but at least you have the memories, right?!?
Now picture God's love. Isn't it beautiful? It's not a fleeting memory but it's an everlasting love that's available to all mankind, whose not afraid or unwilling to receive it!!! No matter how old or young we are, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. Regardless of our circumstances, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!! Even with unanswered prayers, KEEP PRAYING, because HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!!
Pray this message will marinate your minds and hearts. Remember God loves you and so do I.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Chaquita

Putting Your Feet To Your Faith
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to take a quick moment over lunch to share this thought with you.
This week at my church we are having revival services. For those of you who don't know what that is, revival is a service were Christian's come together to hear the Word of God, be encouraged in our faith and rededicate ourselves to doing God work. (I had someone ask me what is revival yesterday.)
Last night the speaker talked about faith. She quoted Matthew 9:29 which says, "...according to your faith be it unto you." You can read the entire chapter to get a clear understanding of the scripture text. This chapter in Matthew tells the story of the blind men who were following Jesus asking to be healed of their blindness. Jesus lays His hands on their eyes and then says according to your faith be it unto you and instantly they received their sight.
So how did feet come into the picture? Well the speaker really talked about how the blind men followed Jesus although they could not see him. Then it hit me... they put their feet to their faith. They believed with all of there hearts that Jesus could and would heal them. They began to walk in the direction of were their faith which was in Jesus. So many times we have faith in people and things and therefore we begin to follow them. Place your faith in Jesus Christ and follow after Him.
Okay, I hope you get this with me. If you are believing God to do something in your life. If you have been praying, asking God, seeking God and knocking on God's door for something put your feet to your faith!!! Follow Jesus and begin walking in the direction that you are wanting to go.
If you have been asking for a job, begin get your feet in line with your faith and go after the job you want. Have you been asking for God to help with financial provision? Begin to put you feet to your faith and look for ways to earn income while you keep faith that He will pour down a blessing upon you.
Now for my single Sisters seeking a spouse. Do not, I repeat do not take this to mean that you are to hunt down a man like a tiger hunts down its prey. It is up to the man to look for the woman. "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord." Proverbs 18:22 NIV. Putting your feet to faith in this area is to begin to prepare yourself to be a wife. Ask yourself, do you need to improve your relationship with Jesus Christ so that you can be a true blessing to your husband, do you need to work on being a better housekeeper, better at managing your finances or becoming a better cook. If the answer is yes to any of those questions then put your feet to faith in those areas and follow Jesus Christ as you prepare yourself.
What a revelation?!?! I so love God. He just blows my mind!
Asking God to bless each of you in a mighty way.
Much Love,
Jamison

November Memory Verse In everything give thanks!
Hello Everyone,
It is time for the November memory verse!
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
(1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)
As Chaquita said in her last post, our minds become so bogged down with the issues of daily life. Work, church and family can all be sources of stress. But when life hits us in the face and we are in the middle of whatever the issue may be, give God thanks while in it. Thanking Leads to Blessing!
The pain, struggle and disappointment you are dealing with in this season are only for a moment. Yes you may feel that it will never end but God holds your future. He knows the plan He has for you. Thank Him in advance!!!
Much Love,
Jamison

What's In Your Heart?
Gooooooodddd Moooornnnnniinng!!!
(If you haven't noticed, I AM EXCITED about today and this blog)
Last night, I received an opportunity to commune with my King; no ladies, not my husband but with the Lord himself. Exploring through various scriptures and Christian articles, to "set aside time" was the main principle for us to live by. Have you ever wondered about the daily activities you spend so much time in? Do you receive enjoyment out of these activities? We've all been there... rushing to a child's event, church meeting, or dinner date and once we arrived, how did you feel? IMAGINE if we gathered that same energy and centered it on HIM? Now ask yourself, "how would that feel"?
Praying God will continue to grant you joy, peace and love everyday. May you discover your personal enjoyment in this life and trust God in knowing He will be with you, even to the ends of this earth. Love you all and have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Chaquita

A Spirit of Excellence!!!!
Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much for your prayers during our families time of loss.
The last few weeks I have been praying about the ministries I work in at my church, particularly the Membership Support Ministry. Well, our faithful God has answered my prayers and I just have to share this with you.
Last week I was speaking with my mentor Sister S is what I will call her because I don't have permission to use her name online. Sister S was speaking to a group of use and she mentioned having a Spirit of Excellence in regards to our worship. That hit me like a ton of bricks. That is what I need to have in regards to not only the Membership Support Ministry but also in every area of my life. At work, at home, at church and in my relationships with family and friends. A Spirit of Excellence!!!!
My friends and fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, please pray that God will give you a Spirit of Excellence in all that you do. Write it down and share with others, it is time that we all strive to have a Spirit of Excellence.
My God Bless You All,
Jamison

Salutations Bloggers!
Our very own sister, friend and confident Jamison Price experienced two deaths in her family. Both an uncle and godmother passed away. As believers in Christ, we know that God makes no mistakes and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So although tears may fall, we trust and believe that God will provide strength and comfort to The Price Family during their time of bereavement.
Please remember Jamison and her family in your prayers. Love you and God Bless!
Sincerely,
Chaquita
