God meets me at the corner of my house…
You know in my life I have had some troubling times, things that I may not have spoken to anyone, and when these troubles would keep me awake at night, I would pray and seek God for deliverance, mostly in the late midnight hours, I would walk my house, and read my bible and pray, and each time I would walk out on to my deck, as though I was looking for God, (and I was!) I would look up in the sky as if I could see him, but as I would turn, and walk back towards the house just at the corner of my house and the deck; I would look up again and say “God are you there… can you hear me… where are you”? I would stand there a minute and wait for his reply, although I did not hear an audible voice I knew he was looking right at me…! I have been to that corner many times now, and it seems that I always return to that spot, and God meets me there it seems every time… I just feel an overwhelming sense that he is listening, and sure enough he has always delivered me from the one who has tried to set so many traps for me and my family. I am not sure where your meeting place is with God, but “God meets me at the corner of my house”!

Thankful...!
Thankful…!
Well I was reading my devotions for today and it is amazing they were all talking about being thankful, and being aware that your adversary the devil is the author of discontentment… You bought a new car, after 6 mos. You don’t like it, and you want another one, the house you live in could always be better, bigger, or smaller, or just something other that what it is, your hair is just not right, your job is not what you want, your husband/wife is just not what you want, we live in a world of discontentment... There is certainly nothing wrong with prospering, but it is even better to prosper when you’re perfectly satisfied with what you have! As I have gotten to be the ripe old age of 44, I have become perfectly satisfied with things, and with whatever I have been blessed with, and when that old feeling of discontentment tries to creep in I remember who is behind that feeling, and I began to pray! If you started to make a list of things you are thankful for I’m sure your list would grow, and grow, and grow as you began to write… If your sick, be thankful that God is a healer, If your lacking, be thankful that God is a provider, If your lonely, be thankful that you can talk to God, If your lost, be thankful that Jesus is our savior, If you have a bad habit, be thankful that God is a deliverer! If your are feeling down just get out a pen and paper and start to make a list of things you could be thankful for, I guarantee it will pick you up, and your heart will start to feel thankfulness, and joy! Don't let the enemy trick you with discontentment!

Sweet Moments...!
Sweet Moments…!
Well it’s day number 3 and I am still blogging, I guess I really enjoy this… My daughter Erica is having a end of the school year party tonight, and she is so excited! Then Tuesday June 2nd my daughter Dawn will turn Sweet 16, then on June 7th my only son of 6 children will be 8 years old, my mother will turn 65 June 23rd, and ad Father’s day in there and our family vacation to Florida and I have a busy month, but all these things will be sweet moments…! Last night one of the sweetest moments was as my granddaughter (MaKayla) and my son Colby lay in bed with me and I was story telling about the birth of Jesus, and how Jesus grew up as a boy, and was going around doing the will of his father… It was amazing to me that some of the things I told them about Jesus having an earthly father and his heavenly father seemed very easy for them to understand, they were mesmerized my the story and listened with full attention… of course Colby is a pro and would look at Kayla and finish some of my sentences for me because he knows the story… which made me feel good that he has retained those things, and the story took us to “Heaven” and they had so many questions, and they seemed as thought I was telling that Christmas was coming! They wanted to know “Oh when will we be able to go” It was the sweetest thing, and that is how we should feel… looking forward to that Wonderful day and place Jesus is preparing for us! I wouldn’t take anything for those story telling moments, and this morning at about 5:30 I heard my other granddaughter (Jayla) and I went into the room where she was and she was just laying there looking so sweet playing with her mother’s face as thought she wanted to wake her, so I leaned over an picked her up and took her to my bedroom, and we laid in bed and played together she was so sweet she smiled and laughed and played with my husband and he was just taken away by her sweetness… she touched his face smiled and laughed and he was wrapped and tied in a knot around Jayla’s little finger. I thought about this and thought that maybe we could present ourselves to be sweeter to our family and just people we come in contact with everyday, I think that is what Jesus meant when he “with love and kindness have I drawn thee”… we know that we are drawn to sweetness even in those things we love to eat! So pour a little extra sweetness on today!

Talkin Right!!!!!
Well God has been showing me in many ways that…. I will have whatever I say (Mark 11:22-24) and although again this way of thinking seems a little radical… I am radical about God’s word! If I think back over my life and look at where I am today it lines up with the way I have spoken through out my life, and actually God showed grace and mercy or it would have been worse, have you said things like “I don’t have any money”, I am sick and tired”, I am screwed up, loving people to death, my head is killing me, I know we think these are cliché but what if they aren’t, what if they are subtle ways for the enemy (and we know who he is) to trick you into designing your own future… hmmmmm. I love how God shows us things through small things… I really started thinking seriously when my daughter Erica said “why do we call them deviled eggs mama, why can’t they be angel eggs” Well I guess you know what we call them at my house now… I believe the bible says what it means and means what it says; I have started in recent months to adjust my way of talkin… not stop saying things as much but stop speaking death, defeat, and poverty into my life altogether! You know God spoke things into existence, and he tells us to speak to the mountain (meaning mountain situations in our lives Mark 11:22-24) He didn’t say write about them, or think these situations away but he said “speak to them” (out loud). Get your bible and look up the scriptures regarding speaking, and you will be surprise, and you will want to start Talkin Right…! I am also teaching this to my children these principles, they get things quickly… we have years of negative cliché’s to renew our minds from, but just think if we can start our children out now! It’s not positive speaking, or positive thinking… I mean stop saying the wrong thing, and replace with the Right (The Word of God)! I know if you do this the rutter (your tongue) on your boat of life will start you going in a new direction…. And you will love the new places you will go in God!

Just Startin Out!!!!
Well I am a new blogger… and I’m not sure what this is all about, but I thought about what do I want to accomplish by blogging? Well I think I want to just share how awesome God is working in my everyday life. Just to let ordinary people like you and me know as you read my blogs that if you can believe what the word of God says is possible for you, and then teach these principles to your children so that you leave a heritage of faith. I am married to Phillip Minter, and the mother of 5 girls and 1 boy and yes I gave birth to every one of them, the ages range from 26-8 years of age….. God is doing awesome things for my family and I just want to share them with the world and maybe this is that avenue…. Just like Sunday night my daughter was sick and the Dr.’s office was closed when we tried to go for a visit, and it wasn’t really an emergency room kind of thing, not that God can’t handle emergencies also, but my daughter Erica came to me and said “mama can you lay your hands on me and pray for me to get well … I told her o.k. I ask her to do some soul searching and repent of anything she may have done that was not pleasing to God, I ask her also to find a scripture that she would like to stand on... Meaning holding fast to what God has said about the situation, Erica found James 5:13 (read it when you have time), so we read this scripture out loud, and I laid my hands on her and prayed and literally within minutes she said “Mama I already feel much better”! This excites me…. If the secular world can dabble in all kinds of weird supernatural things, why can’t we believe God! I know I am a radical believer, but an Awesome God, deserves us to have awesome faith, since he went through more than you or I will ever know so that we could have the opportunity to take him at his word! This is just one of many stories I have of how God has showed up for me when I have taken him at his word for my self and my children.
Dare to stand on Gods Word and believe!
