These are the names God gave me.
For most of these names above, I have no idea what your religious affiliation is, or even if you pray etc.
But I know I need your help.
Just ask God to help Bria hear clearly.
I want to do what's right according to Him, not me. (Proverbs 3:5,6)

Uplifting One Another When We Can't Stand Alone...

"Strength" by Frank Morrison, Morrison Collection

Recently I became a member of an awesome group that seeks to uplift, empower, and strengthen women of color called,
"Colored Girls Who Have Considered Cutting Off Their Hair..."
check out the blog here

Not only are words of encouragement exchanged among my sisters,
but Christ is ELEVATED.

I'm asking the regular contributors and LQQKY-LQQS (aka lurkers--i love you too!) of You Better Recognize to hold up one of my sisters, in prayer. Her name is LJ, and very recently she lost her husband. One can only imagine what it feels like, and even then it's still inconceivable.

Pain, is pain. Hurt, is hurt. And loss, is loss.

Assist in her healing, by putting her before the Lord, and ask God to bring comfort to LJ during this time of mourning.
It costs you nothing, but it'll mean everything.

If you would like to leave a personal message of upliftment (seems like a real word to me) to LJ

I bet she'll apreciate it! :)

Love you and God bless, LJ

A Very Happy Ending!

Autistic hiker found alive in W.Va.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - An autistic 18-year-old lost in the wilderness for four days was found alive Thursday, weak but apparently fine, and reunited with his family, searchers said.

"To the best of our knowledge, he was just hungry and thirsty and fatigued," Jim Reneau, one of the nine searchers who found Jacob Allen, said at a news conference at the command post near Davis, about 90 miles south of Pittsburgh.

Allen, who wandered away from his parents while hiking Sunday, was found lying in a clearing about a mile from where his hat was found Monday.
Allen, who has the mental capacity of a 3- or 4-year-old, opened his eyes and rolled over to
meet his rescuers when Reneau's son, Jeremy Reneau, called out his name.

"He was very quiet, he was nonverbal," said Jeremy Reneau, 25, the first to spot Allen. "But you could tell by his body language he was hungry."

Rescuers fed him candy bars and peanut butter sandwiches and tried to walk him out of the wooded Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, part of the Monongahela National Forest. When he became too tired, they carried him out on a litter, Reneau said.

"The family is all together," search group spokesman Chris Stadelman said. "As soon as they heard the report he was alive and doing fairly well, they gathered in a prayer circle." (emphasis by Ivent)
The Inter-Mountain newspaper reported that Allen was taken to Davis Memorial Hospital, but a spokeswoman for the hospital declined to comment.

"I think the whole state's relieved," said Lara Ramsburg, spokeswoman for Gov. Joe Manchin, who visited the Allen family Wednesday night. "We're all relieved for him and his family."

Allen wandered away from his parents Sunday afternoon. Hundreds of volunteers and trained professionals had been combing the woods, calling for him to come to them for candy bars, ice cream and other food.

Allen had no food or water with him, but Stadelman had said there were natural water sources in the search area, which consists of about 10 square miles of often steep and brush-covered terrain.

Overnight temperatures dropped to as low as 38 degrees on the nights Allen was missing. He was wearing hiking boots, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a wind jacket and wind pants.
(This version corrects the spelling of the rescuers' name to Reneau instead of Renau.)

I'm so happy this young man was found. Most stories have the opposite ending.

God is good!

Amen!

Do you know the Lord's Prayer? She does!

God's Daily Word...

"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. "

(Phillipians 4:6,7-Amplified Bible)

*************************

Like it or not, we've all been guilty of worry. However the Bible tells us NOT to worry. How is that possible? From personal experience, I've realized that worrying has NEVER, EVER changed 1 situation or circumstance. But praying and thanksgiving CHANGES my views towards circumstances and situations.

Worried about a bill? Think about all the times God has made a way.

Family have you down? 1 John 5:13, 14 tells us we can be CONFIDENT in God that if we ask according TO HIS WILL He hears us, and if He hears us, then the petition we asked for is ours.

Not only should we pray, but pray according to His Will. What His desire for your life? Find out and pray accordingly.

You better recognize-sometimes the one holding up progress, is YOU.
