I'm sure it's safe to say that everyone of us at some point in our life have struggled with feelings of insecurities and other horrible thoughts, if you haven't WOW can you tell how you've done that. I have struggled for years with my weight and with just feeling like I'm not worth alot. So recently I have had several things knock me to the ground with my feelings and I have been fighting and praying my way out of that area.
I know that as a child of God I completely trust and rely on my Savior Jesus Christ. So when feelings of insecurity come how do we handle it. For me I turn on the radio or my mp3 player and look for a song to lift my spirits. So recently when I was having a moment this song begin to play, it ministered to me so much. I am so thankful that no matter what we go through and no matter what we face in life there is going to be a brighter day.
Through Christ we can always have a brighter day. I realize that life is not always going to be roses, but I do know that as it says in Philippians 4:19 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I also love what it says in Luke 18:27 - I learned this when I was in Honduras so I learned it first in Spanish which says "Lo que es imposible para los hombres es posible para Dios" which translated says "What it impossible for man is possible for God!"
So through Christ we can have brighter days!

Miracle Needed
Today there are so many things going on in this crazy world. Have you ever just stopped to think it’s to much to handle? I know over the last few months I have been feeling that way. I kept thinking Lord enough is enough but every time I think that I hear a song or a word is spoken to me from a friend or family member or into my Spirit from the Lord Himself.
Of course today would not be different. I sat this evening listening to the song “Miracle” by Aaron and Amanda Crabb. I listened to the words and thought to myself, Lord that’s me I need this miracle! It seems like mentally and emotionally it has been one thing after another for me this year so today in desperation I began to cry out for a miracle to happen.
I was talking to my cousin Jennifer at Bible Study tonight and she was telling me how she knew God had something good in store for my life, and as those words came out of her mouth they hit me like a ton of bricks; and on Sunday in church God spoke to my Dad about how He framed the worlds into existence and the miracle of providing me a job was just a small thing for Him to accomplish because He’s God!
To that I say Lord you know my heart, you understand my thoughts and you know there is a definite miracle needed in my life but today more than ever I trust you and know that the miracle will come and these never ending trials will pass.
So if you feel as if you life is falling apart and you can’t make it trust in the one who created the world. Trust in Jesus Christ and that miracle needed will happen!!

Lesson Learned
Charles and I had an eye opening experience this weekend.
I would like to share it with you and I hope that it will be a blessing and help to you.
IT KEPT COMING TO ME FOR WKS TO GET CHARLES BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND I KEPT IGNORING THE THOUGHT. IT WOULD COME TO ME AGAIN AND I WOULD PASS IT OFF TO TAKE CARE OF IT LATER.
CHARLES WENT TO GET HIS LICENSE RENEWED ON AUGUST 28 AT THE DMV. WE THOUGHT HE HAD THE MONTH OF AUGUST TO HAVE IT DONE. COME FIND OUT IT EXPIRED ON HIS BIRTHDAY AUGUST 1. HE WAS TOLD BY DMV THAT HE HAD TO SHOW HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE BEFORE THEY COULD RENEW THE LICENSE.
WE SEARCHED THE HOUSE OVER. CLEANED OUT CLOSETS, CABINETS AND DRAWERS. WE LOOKED THE HOUSE OVER FOR 2 DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE. I PRAYED AND CRIED OUT TO GOD TO PLEASE SHOW AND DIRECT US TO WHERE IT IS, CHARLES JOB DEPENDS ON THIS. WE WENT OVER THE HOUSE WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB.
IF YOU WOULD HAVE CAME IN OUR HOUSE YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A TORNADO HAD HIT. WE PULLED EVERYTHING IN THE CLOSETS OUT AND JUST THROWED THEM IN THE FLOOR. WE LOOKED IN EVERY PHOTO ALBUM; YOU NAME IT WE LOOKED IN IT. WE FOUND THINGS WE HAD FORGET ABOUT SINCE WE MOVED IN THE HOUSE 30 YEARS AGO.
WE BAGGED UP EVERYTHING THAT WE HADN’T USED IN YEARS AND EITHER TRASHED IT OR PUT IT ASIDE FOR YARD SALE. CHARLES BURNED OLD PAPERWORK AND DOCUMENTS FROM YEARS PAST ALL DAY SATURDAY.
ALL THE TIME I KEPT PRAYING “PLEASE GOD” IT CAME TO A POINT THAT I WENT OUT ON THE PORCH AT MIDNIGHT, EXHAUSTED AND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE WE COULDN’T FIND IT. I SIT AND CRIED AND WAS REALLY ANGRY AT GOD BECAUSE I DIDN’T THINK THAT HE LISTENING TO MY PRAYER OR EVEN WANTED TO HELP US.
TO BE HONEST I GOT MAD AT GOD. I WENT INSIDE AND TOLD CHARLES THAT I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED AT GOD. IF HE COULDN’T HELP US / OR WANT TO HELP US FIND SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, THEN HOW COULD WE TRUST THAT HE WILL HELP US WITH THE BIG THINGS IN LIFE.
I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING STILL HURT AND LET DOWN BY GOD. I WENT INTO WORK IN A REALLY BAD MOOD AND JUST FRUSTED WITH EVERYTHING. I FELT I WAS WEIGHED DOWN WITH A HEAVY LOAD AND JUST WANTED TO GIVE UP.
ABOUT 9:00 GOD SPOKE TO ME. THIS IS WHAT HE TOLD ME:
“DON’T BLAME ME” I HAVE GIVEN YOU WARNING AFTER WARNING FOR YOU TO LOOK FOR THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND YOU KEPT PUTTING IT OFF AND IGNORING THE WARNING. SO IT IS NOT MY FAULT YOU
DIDN’T LISTEN. I TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. I TRIED TO PREPARE YOU FOR THIS MOMENT.
YOU NEED TO GET YOUR PHYSICAL HOUSE (LIFE) CLEANED OUT AND IN ORDER. GET RID OF THE THINGS
THAT IS NOT NECESSARY. THROW AWAY ANTHING THAT IS NOT OF USE OR BENEFIT TO YOU. CLUTTER
AND TRASH IN UNFRUITFUL. GET ORGANIZED.
JUST AS YOUR SPIRTUAL LIFE, YOU NEED TO GET ANYTHING OUT THAT IS NOT NECESSARY AND NOT FRUITFUL AND I WILL POUR MY BLESSING OUT ON YOU EVEN MORE BUT I CAN’T WORK IN A HOUSE THAT IS CLUTTERED WITH JUNK AND UNNECESSARY ITEMS.
IF THESE THINGS ARE THERE, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ME.
CLEAN OUT / GET THINGS IN ORDER AND WATCH WHAT I WILL COME IN AND DO”
THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN A REAL EYE OPENER FOR BOTH CHARLES AND I.
BECAUSE OF MY PUTTING OFF SOMETHING THAT THE LORD KEPT DEALING WITH ME TO DO, I NOT ONLY SUFFERED FROM IT BUT CHARLES SUFFERED AND ALSO THE COMPANY CHARLES WORKS FOR WILL SUFFER.
BECAUSE CHARLES LICENSE HAS EXPIRED HE CAN’T WORK AND THAT MEANS NO WAGES FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
I HAD TO CALL RICHMOND TO GET A COPY OF HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PAID EXTRA MONEY TO HAVE SHIPPED FASTER, BUT STILL IT CAN TAKE 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS.
WHEN GOD DEALS WITH OUR HEART WE DON’T NEED TO PUT IT OFF. WE NEED TO DO IT RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE PUTTING OFF WILL CAUSE HEARTACHE TO YOU AND THOSE AROUND YOU.
WE HAVE LEARNED THRU THIS, TO BE SENSITIVE TO WHAT GOD IS TRYING TO TELL US. HE LOVES US AND GIVES US CHANCES TO GET THINGS RIGHT AND IN ORDER. HE PREPARES US FOR THE FUTURE, BUT DON’T BE LIKE ME AND IGNORE HIS VOICE AND THEN HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE SOMETHING HE WANTED TO HELP ME WITH.
SO ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS NOT GOD’S FAULT. IT WAS MY FAULT AND THE ENTIRE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF I HAD ONLY LISTED TO HIS WARNING.
THE GOOD SIDE OF THIS SITUATION IS…WE HAVE A CLEANED OUT OUR HOUSE. NO MORE JUNK OR CLUTTER
ANYMORE IN THE DeBORD HOUSE. THIS APPLIES TO PHYSICAL AND SPIRTUAL.
GOD BLESS YOU

Giants.....they fall
So through all the battles that I feel like I have been going through lately I have came across a song that has really ministered to me. It is one of my uncles Charles favorite songs it’s called “Giants” and I love listening to that song because it lets me know that even though I am going through these trials those “Giants” the bigger they are the harder they are going to fall under the power of God.
I know that in life it may seem so easy to just feel like when things come our way that we can’t handle to just give up and run away. That’s where I have to come to realize lately that I don’t need to run away. I need to just cast my burdens at the feet of Jesus. I need to hide myself in the cross. I need to open my eyes and realize that the “giants” that are in front of me are nothing compared to the Christ I serve who is protecting me!
I love the scripture in Romans that says, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us who can be against us? It is true with God being for us we have no one that can be against us. No “giant” is big enough to defeat our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No “giant” is a “giant” at all with God on our side.
I think about David versus Goliath – Goliath yes he was gigantic but David had the Lord on his side so one tiny smooth stone in his hands was far greater than any weapon that Goliath could have potentially had. That’s why I think of it this way – no matter what trial or test I go through I know that if I stand on God’s Holy Word and if I maintain an open line of communication through prayer and reading God’s Word, that no weapon formed against me is going to prosper and I AM more than a conqueror. (Can I get a witness!)
So I must say if you are going through a battle, struggling through a trial, rest in knowing that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and soon those Giants are going to come down and remember that the bigger they are the harder they will fall.
Be Blessed

Jesus My Best Friend
This week has been a very busy week for me at church. It has been our Vacation Bible School. As part of what I do for Bible School is the praise and worship each night along with my dad, my nephew and one of our young ladies in our church. One of the songs that we sang each night was the coolest praise and worship song….I may have to send it out next week as the weekly update.
The song was called Jesus My Best Friend. I love the chorus so simple but what we should all strive for…the chorus said, “Jesus you are my best friend, you will always be, nothing will ever change that, Jesus you are my best friend, you will always be, nothing will ever change that.”
I wish you could have all been there to see the children’s face as they sang that song and has they did the simple motions to the chorus. One girl, she’s in my Sunday school class, I wish I could have captured her face on camera, and I hope someone did. She was singing her heart out on that song and worshipping God, and you knew by the look on her face that she meant the words to that song.
It made me realize more and more this week that no matter the storms no matter the trials that we are going through, we absolutely must put our faith and our trust in our best friend, Jesus!
Blessings!

The Best is Yet to Come
I was sitting here thinking about so many things that have been happening in my life here of late, all the hardships I’ve seen people go through, all the struggles that family and friends have had to endure, when a old song began to play in my mind. I remember as a child hearing my parents and some of my uncles and aunts sing this song together and it’s meaning means so much to me even more than I think I ever realized it would.
The song goes like this “Oh the best is yet to come when I walk through Heaven’s gates, oh the 1st time I see Jesus oh I can hardly wait, He’ll show me to my mansion and say this is your home, I have a feeling in my heart the best is yet to come.”
Even now thinking about those words, I can imagine my great grandpa Blevins and my great grandma Blevins, my great uncles David and Yokeley, my Mommaw DeBord, my great aunt Ellen all walking through Heaven talking to each other and worshipping at the feet of Jesus.
Maybe it’s because July 24 is a special day to me since it’s my birthday, but I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic and think about my family who paved the way before me, I can’t help but think, wouldn’t it be something just to get a little glimpse of what “the best to come” looked like. I don’t think our human minds could comprehend it all, and that’s ok, because I don’t know about you but when it comes right down to it, I love surprises, so when it’s my turn to get to see “the best that is still yet to come” I want to walk through those pearly gates of Heaven with my eyes wide and my mouth dropped open in awe of the splendor and glory of our home in Glory!
Even thinking of that song just gives me a reminder that for today and everyday – the best is yet to come, God’s got something great inside of each one of us, something He wants us to do before He calls us home to be with Him. I want to challenge you today to know that The Best Is Yet To Come and you may not know what it is yet, but keep seeking God – He will open your heart and reveal to you everything, in His time!

I was reading my devotion here at work and the Scripture I read meant a lot to me this morning, so I am passing it on to you.
I know myself I get mis-understood as in verse 5 and people will twist your words. Satan will use that against you to
Bring you down. In this evil times we are now everyone is out for themselves, and anyway they can bring you down they
Will to make themselves look good. They are eager to see you do one thing wrong, and from there they "lurk" you try
To destroy your name and your walk with God. But keep trusting God and he will take care of you. God knows the
Intent of your heart and he is all that matters. So do the best you can, and the others will be taken care of that tries
To come against your for no reason.
HAVE A GREAT DAY !
Psalm 56 (New International Version)
Psalm 56
1 Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.
2 My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.
3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.
6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
7 On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
8 Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise-
11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Be Blessed
