A's Happiness Blogs

We all go through life with things that may cause us to worry and to be stressed out. There are things that is beyond our control, but we find ourselves trying to figure it out on our own.  The only thing that will make us feel better and get us through is having peace in our lives.  God is the only one who can give us peace when we find ourselves in this state.  “ Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.”   2 Thessalonians 3:16 Having the peace of God in your life is a wonderful feeling. The scripture states that “the Lord of peace himself will give you peace by all means”.  What does that mean for us as children of God?  Well, it means that because we are his children, the Lord knows all and no matter how me may feel, he will give us peace for our lives.   Because he is the Lord of peace, he will give us that peace that helps us throughout our lives.  Having that peace from God is a calm feeling...

  As we begin a New Year, let us not start out the New Year making resolutions that we are not going to keep.  As children of God, let us look to him for the things we need in life.  We need to trust in God and make sure we lean on him.  As Moses had to remind the children of Israel and Joshua in Deuteronomy 3l: “And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8 God will always be with us. No matter what this new year will bring in our lives, God is always going to be with us.  He will show us what he has for our lives in his time. He will never leave us alone. He is always there for  us.  He knows what this year is going to have for us before we do, so we have to have faith and trust that whatever this year is going to bring, that he will Always give us the strength to endure it! God bless and have a Happy New Year! 

  Philippians 3:13 & 14

  Just get started   I was talking to my good friend, I call him big bro, and we were talking about exercising.  He was telling me that he walks so many miles a day to get his exercise and I told him I needed to be like him. He said “ the key is to just get started”. I like that, it make since.  But why did God show me somthing in those few words. We often say that we want to do a work for God. But in the same breath, we make every excuse we can think of as to why we have not done it or even started the task that God has given us.  Just like us wanting to do something meaningful in our lives and we do it, we have to have that same attitude toward our walk with God.  2 Corinthians 5:7 : "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (KJV) We may not know where God is leading us. He may be taking us to a place where it is new territory for us. But if we just get up and START, who knows what blessing he has in store for us.  God bless. 

Have you ever thought about why it is that we praise God?    Is it because it is something that our mothers, fathers, and grandparents told us to do? Or is it because we read it in the bible and that is what we are supposed to do?    Or is there a purpose in us praising God?   I think that is a great question to ask yourself.    “I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalm 18”1- 2       Just take a moment to read Psalm 18. Not just Palm 18 but the bible in general. What is the one thing that no matter what is going on that happens?   God is always there.    God is always there for his children. No matter what is going on, he is always by their side.    There may be times, that you may feel like you are alone, but you are not. He is always there.   T...

Life can be going great. You are happy and it seems like you find yourself on cloud nine.    And you find yourself having zill to do something for God, or God has giving you an assignment to complete, and you are up for the challenge. You want to do for God, because that is what he requires of us.    But then, it seems like everything starts going wrong in your life and the feeling you had is gone.      1 Peter 5:8 “ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeing whom he may devour”   It is funny how God brought this scripture to my mind.  When I wrote this blog, I was getting ready for a women’s program at my church, and I was getting my mind and my heart ready for it. It seemed like everything was coming my way to get my mind off what God had for me to do.  But I had to realize what was going on.  To give a better understanding, I had to look up the meaning of a few words.  ...
