My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don't lose sight of them. Leet them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.
DEFINITIONS:
Guard - watch over, defend, protect, prevent from escaping, take precautions, shield, watch, alert, lookout, guardian,
I think this scripture pretty much wraps up the WHOLE bible and what Jesus Christ is all about. It sums it up in nice laid out verses. I love the part it says "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life". This is so true...if you do not guard or protect the things of the heart, your life will go down a path that you do not wish to go. Your path won't be straight and your eyes will not see what lies before you. The heart controls. Take Jesus there and guard it with your life. The Holy Spirit will indwell in your heart and make you the person God wants you to be.

Psalms 19: 14
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my
heart
be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my rock and my
redeemer
This is my prayer, Oh God, I'm trying hard to get back into your word so that you again can speak to my heart. I meditate on your words, chew them around and in hopes that you will redeem what I'm learning. I have so much to learn. I'm still so young in my wisdom regarding you. But I do know that you have revealed a lot in my my life time. Keep on ...and please do not give up on me. I love and praise you Lord...Amen!!!

PROVERBS 4:11-13
I will teach you wisdom's ways and lead you in straight paths. When you walk, you won't be held back; when you run, you won't stumble. Take hold of my instructions; don't let them go. Guard them, for they are the key to life.
God is talking to me today. I'm really enjoying my reading with my ladies at work. God is showing me that I can inspire even when my transgressions lurk into my existence. God has a path, I know it. I'm just that quite where he wants me to be at this time in my life.
I've decided to read "One Year Bible for Women" with my co-workers. Together we are trying to inspire each other in the word. But I'm afraid I'm the one that's been given a gift. God is talking to me again and I'm sure enjoying my conversations with him. He's not giving up on me. He's here for me, as long as I keep my focus He will not let me stumble and give me the confidence to run and not hold back who God wants me to be. Not really sure what that is but I know he is polishing me!!
PRAYER:
Dear God, Bless you and PRAISE your holy name. I know that I don't deserve all the gifts you have been given to me. You have been gentle and loving as I continue my search for your will in my life. I thank Lord, In Jesus name I pray....AMEN

Psalms 18:32-33
God arms me with strength,
and he makes my way perfect
He makes me as surefooted
as a deer,
enabling me to stand on
mountain heights
This is so comforting to me. Today I'm filled with anxiety and not really sure why. I really feel God is making me deal with an issue in my life that constantly keep creeping in my life. This scripture says "he makes my way perfect"....MY WAY? PERFECT? OK time for my definitions ...I once defined "perfect" because I hated the word. But can't find my previous notes on this so I'm having to totally redo and redefine.
DEFINITION:
PERFECT - polish, cultivate, improve, complete carry through, finished, whole
CULTIVATE - nurture, polish, promote, encourage, advance
ENCOURAGE - confidence, give courage, urge advise
IMPROVE - upgrade,, enhance, refine make better
ENHANCE - boost, upgrade, strengthen, increase
REFINE - purify, gracious, pure, clean polish
POLISH - become smoothe, refine, improve, accomplished, sparkle, gleam
SUREFOOTED - never stumbling or making a mistake, confidence
ENABLE - to make possible
God is telling me something here because this scripture is LEAPING literally off the page...never mind that it's in red..Hahaha!!! but it gives me comfort. As long as I have GOD to give me strength, He will polish me into a confident person to handle or make anything possible. Going through the definition process, the word polish was what spoke to me. God is still polishing me and I will need his strength while going through this polishing process so that I can do or have confidence for any obstacle sent my way.
Right now the biggest obstacle in my life is my lack of confidence. My lack of confidence to get the things I want out of life, friends, family and love ones where I can find peace and joy. Confidence where I feel I don't ALWAYS have to compromise ME as a person. To be able to be ME and love ME the way God does. God obviously has a plan for me that he is polishing me for because this obstacle is a BIG one for me!! One that keeps pressing on me when I thought it was gone. But it is back pressing down on me and this time I have to deal with it. I can no longer put on a back burner.
Dear God,
With your arms of strength, you will make my way perfect, surefooted to enable me to do anything for your perfect will. Take your strength and lift me up so that I can do what you have set for me to do. This way you can finish your polish of my life to give me your perfect gleam. In Jesus name I pray....Amen
