If It’s Monday, It’s Mama........
D is for Quadruple D’s” (Yea, you read me
right)
Sweet Madison,
As you know, this is week four of 2013 “If It’s Monday, It’s Mama” blog
and thus, the week for “D”. This year
begins our fourth year of writing our blog…and, people are starting to ask me
where I get my ideas each week. The
obvious is that I blog on things going on in your and my life (thus, the frank
discussions about life), but
ultimately, whatever I write comes from God or from someone God is using to
grow me and through me, you. This week
is no exception.
I Decided this week to solicit the assistance of my Facebook friends in
giving me some “D” words to use for this blog and several were kind enough to
share. I appreciate those friends/family
members….and their “D-words”…..all of them!
Yes, uh huh, I really do!
From them, I received things
such as: DING-DONG,
DELICIOUS , DUMMY, DANDY, DIPSTICK, DORK....Determination,
Destined, Darling, Devine, dainty, deploy, deceit, decoy, delectable,
desirable, deliver, Daughter, dedicated, dependable, dear,
divine, and if she is anything like my girl d-hardheaded, d-stubborn, etc.
Which just goes to prove that I have
family/friends with a sense of humor and a sense of what matters in lifeJ.
All of these “D” words are frankly
probably applicable to you and me and all of us if truth were told, at some
point in our lives.
While trying to figure out how to
use all of these “D”-words from my family/friends, I ran across a video of a
sermon from Southland Christian Church which says about the “D’s” in our live
and I put it here so you can be blessed as was I.
The gist of the minister’s lesson is
this:
“Your DECISIONS determine your
DESTINATION; Your DESTINATION determines your DIRECTION; and your DIRECTION
determines your DISTANCE” (THUS, the four D’s)
Decision
Destination
Direction
Distance
Jon Weece, Lead Follower (a/k/a
Senior Pastor at Southland Christian Church) brings to home the lesson of the “Ds”
in a way which is powerful and true and more importantly…
Godly
And, it is likely that if you follow
his instruction, which is really God’s instruction through Jon, you will likely
become friends with all of the other “D” words mentioned above from my
family/friends.
So, this is your homework for this
week of “D’s”
Go…listen and more importantly apply
his lesson to us from HIM
You may have to put this in your
address bar, but Do it! And, Don’t
DELAY! You will be blessed, I promise.
Go watch it NOW before you continue
on in this blog:
Ready, set, Go…..:)

DIDN’T you love it??
Now, wipe away your tears and keep reading…
We have a Father in heaven who understands how DIFFICULT it is to walk
in this journey of life we are on….and, who does not want us to walk it alone…but
with HIM and with the others whom He places in our lives to help us make it
through, our “DIUS AMICUS”. (try Latin
translations)
But he requires of us….to DECIDE to choose the old path…the good way….Jeremiah
6:16 and it is there we will find “rest for our souls”…
Thus saith the Lord: “Stand ye
in the highways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest
for your souls.
Madison…..DETERMINE in your heart that you will DELIVER your
DEDICATED and DAINTY and DESIRABLE heart unto HIM….your heavenly DADDY, the
DIVINE DAD of ALL who chose to seek Him with all of their hearts. DEPLOY your feet onto the path which leads
his DIRECTION. Yes, you will run into
some Ding-dong, delectable, dipstick, dorks on that path (for aren’t we all at
some point in our lives?), but you will also meet some DEPENDABLE, DEAR and
DEVINE people on your way who will make a Devilish, Deranged, Dufus and Damned
life more bearable in that they walk with you and for you and loving you with
each step you take, always headed toward your heavenly DESTINY….
Those DIUS AMICUS who God places DIRECTLY into our lives to
help us on our journey.
Dancette’ yourself (indent HIM on your heart and soul), in a
DIAPHANOUS (transparent) and DEVOTED way which is DURUS (enduring) and you will
be the DELECTATIO (Delight) of HIS life…
And, in that DELIGHT, you will find all you need to not only
have a good life, a DESIRABLE life, a DECENT life, but you will have a
DAUGHTER of the KING
kind of life…
And, “DAUGHTER on loan from God of mine”,
THERE is no more DESIRABLE life than being HIS and letting
him “lift you high” in surrendering your life, your heart, your ALL to Him,
your Heavenly DAD.
Blessings,
ILYAOYMC,
Mama
