Memorial Day 2010 my Mom, Frances Mae Carson Willis, went home to be with Jesus...
Memorial Day 2009 my cousin, Patti Ann Brower Hatcher, went home to be with Jesus...
Memorial Day 1989 my Daddy, Eston Franklin Willis, went home to be with Jesus...
Memorial Day 1952 I was knit together in my birthmother's womb by El Shaddai, my all-sufficient Heavenly Father...
I re-wallpaper my mind with the Truth of God's Word...all my days were ordained for me before one of them came to be...He knows the plans, the hope, and the future He has for me, the best is yet to be...God is Who He Says He is...God can do what He says He can do--nothing is impossible for Him...I am who God says I am--in Christ, I am blessed with every spiritual blessing, accepted in the Beloved Son of God, adopted as a child of the King, chosen before the foundation of the world, redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, forgiven by His Grace and Mercy, and loved with an everlasting love and underneath are the everlasting arms, a love that will not let me go...I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength--His grace is sufficient...His Word is alive and active in me...I am believing God...
...praying continually for a circumcised heart which seeks to know Him and believe Him more, turning away from unbelief, doubt, worry, fear and insecurity...
...seeking to Glorify God, turning away from pride, which is self-absorption...
...seeking to find my satisfaction in Him, turning away from idolatry, which is putting anything ahead of or instead of God...
...seeking to experience His Peace through prayer, turning away from prayerlessness...
...to enjoy His Presence through my relationship with Him moment-by-moment, turning away legalism...
...praying that the Spirit of Christ Who dwells in the innermost part of me will take authority over my soul--the seat of my emotions, and my body--my fleshly desires and appetites...
...praying, Lord Jesus, Bless us indeed...
...do something so big in our lives that it is obviously from You...
...increase our influence and opportunities to make a difference for You...
...give us a continual sense of Your Presence and direction as we make decisions...
...protect us spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and relationally...
...keep us from falling into satan's evil traps...
...praying Heavenly Father, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with You forever in the next...
...praying the prayer that never fails...Thy will be done...
