He Took Our Fall!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Yesterday my wonderful husband took a fall that kept him from falling on top of our grandson, Lyrik, and possibly hurting him too. Bubba escaped serious injuries and Lyrik didn't even have a scratch. He said it all happened so fast. They were leaving his mama's to come home and as they were walking on her sidewalk, Lyrik fell and to keep from falling on him, Bubba pretty much dove over him and landed face first. Yeah, my sweetie has a gash on his cheek and black eye, and few cuts on his hands and arm. It could have been really bad, but GOD protected them both! God used Bubba to protect Lyrik.
Well, God sent Jesus to take our FALL-SIN! Jesus paid our debt of sin in FULL! I am so glad too! Not only does he protect us daily but HE provided for us eternal life!
I'm so thankful that Bubba and Lyrk are ok. Bubba's not even sore today! Yeah, prayers do work! I am also and even more thankful that GOD provided his only begotten son to die (take our fall) for our sins and providing eternal life with HIM. Have you accepted Jesus as your Savior? Don't wait til it's too late!
Have a great day!

My Favorite Psalms!
My Favorite Psalms!
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Ps. 51:10
Of course the whole 51st chapter is my fav. but this is my favorite verse out of it. I like to pray this verse every day. It's important to pray using scripture. I am reading through the book of Psalms but I go to this scripture each time because it gives me renewed hope of God's love and deliverance. I love my LORD and want to serve HIM as best as I can.
I know this has nothing to do with the verse, but I just gotta share it! I became a fighting bookworm with Children's Book Insiders. I have a lot in store for me so I can learn to be a children's writer. Some of you know that I've written a children's book, but it's not ready for publication.That's my goal!!!!!!! I truly believe that God lead me to this group. I'm really excited! I want to use the writing talent that GOD has given me. Thank you, Jon and Laura , if ya'll read this!
Have a blessed week and remember that we are too blessed to be stressed!
Love,
Vickie

Lyrik loves to Tithe!
Lyrik Loves to Tithe!
Our 2 yr. old grandson,Lyrik, surprised us a few weeks ago at church. One of the church members at Plymouth Primitive Baptist Church gave Lyrik a dollar bill after a church service, thinking he would stick it in his pocket to spend it later. Actually, we probably all thought that. Anyway, our precious grandson ran up to the offering table and placed the dollar bill on the table with the rest of the tithes. Then last week this same lady,Patsy, gave him a quarter during the preaching time, not thinking about it. Well, Lyrik, headed right up to the table. YES, while the preacher was preaching. It was funny,but so special! We all need to be that excited about giving to the LORD! I love my grandchildren so much and so proud of them!

Getting Out of the Boat
Getting Out of the Boat!
"And he saith unto them,Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." Matthew 8:26
I'm sure some of you are wondering why I posted this verse. To get out the boat, or better yet, to get out of our comfort zone to serve God better, we need to have complete faith in God. One of my favorite mottoes is :"If God leads you to it, He will lead you to through it". Many times we, yes me included, forget this. We want to continue doing what we're doing, instead of trying to grow in our walk with God. God has been speaking to me a lot recently about my writing talent He gave me. My first book I started writing is a children's book, called Lucky. Of course, it's not finished. Then I moved on to writing a Christian romance. It's not even close to being completed. Lately, even though I get ideas for the story, I come up clueless. I've been wondering,"what does God want me to do with this story? and "why isn't the story going anywhere?". Yeah, you guessed it. I'm stuck, but you know what? God is getting me unstuck. I'm sure you're asking how. I have felt God leading me back to my children's writing recently but I haven't been listening evidently. Hmmmm Maybe that's why my interest in my romance story has gone stagnant. I'm sure God will lead me with that story one day, but not now. He has been asking me to get out of my boat and write for children. I have been fearful and disobedient, but this weekend, I have vowed to God, that I will pull my children's book out and work on it til completion and study and write more for children. God is so good. He lead me to a children's writing website/group and another site for writing. That means more studying, but I love to study. If God is leading me to this, He will lead me through it. I don't know what my writing career will lead to, but I know with faith that God will help me serve children through my writing. I work at a Christian daycare/kindergarten center in Brookhaven, MS. It's the best! I love my babies, their families, my bosses, and coworkers. I thank my Lord for sending me back there to work and serve HIM. I also thank Ms. Kathy and Ms. Cindy for rehiring me and supporting me daily. I couldn't ask for better bosses! Thank you, if you read this! I know I've said before that I was gonna start writing here daily. But of course, I didn't. I apologize, but I've promised God this time, that I will! I've gotten out of the boat and I'm trusting God to help me with my children's writing career. I hope He will also help me be a better daycare worker. Well, I'm gonna close for now so I can study and work on my children's book. I wish you a blessed day and may God bless each of you. Please always feel free to comment.
Love and Prayers,
Vickie

Remembering Davy Jones
Remembering Davy Jones...
About this time last year, I lost a good friend and the best singer in the world! How I miss that wonderful man. I'm sure most everyone knows who Davy was.Davy was talented, dedicated, and a great family man.I was blessed to go see him in concert in solo shows as well as Monkee concerts. I even had my picture taken with him, not to mention getting winked at.But the best memory is Davy giving me a birthday kiss, and then a hug at later shows.I've been all the way from Maine to Oklahoma to see him perform.Those were some of the best times of my life.
I still grieve his passing. I have been listening to his music a lot this week such as I am now, in memory of him. It's still hard to believe that he is gone. I will never be able to attend another one of his concerts.Such a depressing thought. I could go on and on, but I'm close to tears again. But I will say that I gained some really good friends through him. He will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Davy! I will love you forever.
Have a blessed week, dear family and friends,
Vickie

Being Content
"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am , therewith to be content."
Phil. 4:11 (KJV)
Hello again, readers! I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted here on my blog, until I got on to reread my posts today. Goodness sakes! Well, I will try to not slack in my writing anymore. After all, God gave me the talent to write so I should be using it. I'm not making this one of my new year's resolutions because I have decided not to make those anymore. I never do them consistently or seriously. LOL So, starting this year, I decided instead to make commitments to GOD. So far, I"m doing pretty good at the ones I've made. Being content is one of them. I have such a bad habit of complaining. This year I am trying, with GOD'S help, to stop complaining and instead, to praise GOD and be thankful and content with what I have or don't have. As my blog title implies... I am too blessed to be stressed! That is so true! God has blessed me so much! I have other commitments and will try to touch on those in future posts. If you as a reader, has any ideas of subjects, please let me know. I am so thankful for my blessings! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May God bless!!!!!
Love,

Comfort Eating
Wow! What a subject! Right? I decided to write on this for a minute cause I am so guilty of this. Yeah, when stress hits, I hit the food! HA! I don't know why I'm like this, but I am. Some people won't eat when they are stressed or down in the dumps. Well, I will go searching for food, especially junk food, whether I'm hungry or not. I really want to change this pattern in my life. It's not pleasing to the LORD.
Our bodies belong to God and we are supposed to take care of ourselves. "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of GOD, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify GOD in your body, and in your spirit, which are GOD's." 1Cor.6:19-20 But we're also supposed to trust in GOD alone. Turning to food during stress, IS NOT trusting GOD alone. I read a wonderful devotional, by Lorraine Ezell recently, regarding this subject. This prompted me to write about this. I have been trying to change my eating habits for awhile now. I plan to pray the next time and each time afterwards that I feel stressed and want to grab food. GOD will always comfort me. Food won't! How about you? Do you use food for comfort? Well, don't wait til Jan. 1st to change your eating habits. Start today, start NOW! Trust GOD, not food!
