I shared a beautiful photo of F.O.G. last week for WFW (Word Filled Weds.) and I have been finding so much about F.O.G. that I was beginning to think that my chosen ONE WORD for 2012 of LIGHT must somehow be connected to the*F.O.G. (I'm sure that God will reveal more as this year progresses and that I must press on in His LIGHT to be a light in the darkness, which is very much like a fog). Meanwhile, from the fog in my mind, as I reflect on His F.O.G., I have come close to giving up on "blogging" yet again... but instead for now, I am going to try something else first. (If I remember) I will be "Closing comments" on each post except Faith Focus and maybe SOS ... at least for now. So I will be depending more than ever on the 4 *REACTIONS: Amen! Insightful! Inspiring! No Interest! just to know that you've past by... I may try a poll to see what reactions you favor or any suggestions of range of reactions. I also will be trying to only post those two and maybe one more... which means only one post, will have no comments.
I also will no longer be joining memes, or carnivals... which seems to be the only way to get comments or feedback from like community or grow to more (I'm guilty of lurking without leaving comments myself at times) but when you join a meme and many visit and leave without a word...well, (sigh). I have hosted quite a few myself in hopes to create community but lately I am not being a very good host.You almost have to do one every day to stay active. It is not like it use to be when you visit someone, they visit you back and that's enough to initiate interest.
I'm still waiting on God's response as to what I should do with my 2 remaining ones: FAITH FOCUS and SOAKING ON SONday, which I would do with or without others joining me, it's just so much better when we share and encourage one another. I'm not complaining based on stats or any popularity status, yet I frequently get discouraged easily when I see that over 45 people have visited one post (unless it's the same person) and I get only my faithful follower comments of 4-5 dear souls. I hope that you don't object too strongly to my sharing and sorting my thoughts with you publicly, perhaps this is the FOG and the F.O.G. will prevail. I'm just keeping it honest.

I also was not going to add any more posts this week besides SOS, Monday Manna, and Faith Focus Friday (which looks like what I will be posting for now each week) ... I have SOS set up for a few weeks in advance... not so with Mon. or Fri. yet (but I will have Faith Focus set up through Jan. soon, I hope, just not my own choice for that week). I love to FOCUS on our FAITH in God's Promises. It has been a blessing to me... and I would hope that others also have found this to be so and also SOAKING
Yet today, I was being prompted over and over to share more on *F.O.G. There was something specific (it might have been "the year of unceasing fruit" 2012) but this one will have to do for right now (don't let that it opens with 2011 throw you off from seeing this for 2012 too, if you missed this in 2011) so much more to share ...
I plan to seek MORE *F.O.G. in the next 100 days in my own life...even though F.O.G may come at a cost, God is worth it

"The Power Of Looking To Jesus" from Day 1 of "100 Days Of Favor" by Joseph Prince |
Today's Scripture
2 Corinthians 3:18 |
He begins with this...
"I LOVE TO preach about looking at Jesus and being Christ-occupied instead of being self-occupied. But what is the value of seeing Jesus?... ... Miracles happen when they keep their eyes on Jesus. Look at what happened to a fisherman called Peter..." ~ Joseph Prince |
| "Keep your eyes on Jesus. While it may sound impractical, it is the most powerful thing you can do, and Jesus will cause you to reign over every storm in your life!... " ~ Joseph Prince |
"... But the greatest miracle that Peter experienced happened one night when he stepped out of his boat in the middle of a storm at Jesus’ word... Jesus was walking on the water and when Peter looked at Jesus, he became like Jesus and did the supernatural." ~ Joseph Prince |
| "Beloved, as Jesus is, so are you in this world. When you keep your focus on Jesus, you are transformed into His image from glory to glory. You are transformed by beholding, not by working. When you see that Jesus is above the storms of your life, you will effortlessly rise above those storms. No amount of self-effort could have helped Peter walk on water.When he did, it happened simply because he was looking at Jesus." ~ Joseph Prince |
| "Father, I know that a man cannot walk on water, whether in stormy or calm conditions. Likewise, whether there are problems in my life or not, I cannot reign in life without Jesus. Apart from Him, I can do NOTHING. Therefore, I ask that You help me keep my eyes on Jesus despite the many things that I have to attend to today. I thank You that as I look to Jesus for all my needs and wants in the midst of every difficulty and challenge, He will place me at the right place at the right time and provide me with every resource I need to experience good success!" |
| "I can walk above my problems when I keep my eyes on Jesus and trust Him." ~ Joseph Prince |
| GRACE is God's Unmerited Favor! |
Since my blog has evolved through HIS aMazing Grace... from my mazes, messes, miracles that I believe are happening and still to come... I must share as God leads.
Here's a highly energetic song of "Unmerited Favor" or with lyrics in big bold letters you can click and go to that one:
"Now I've got every reason to REJOICE Your unmerited FAVOR is on my life It's got nothing to do with what I did But it's all about what YOU'VE DONE for me"
"NO MORE STRIVING because I've been forgiven Made forever righteous and whole" (every line in this song speaks from my heart)

With all my love to my faithful readers who encourage me so often ... thanks Peggy
* ohh and in case, you missed last week's WFW or did not catch this yet F.O.G. = Favor Of God... and God led me back today where all this started back with Beth Moore's 5th point on "Wrecked But Not Ruined" (I shared this back last year) a powerful teaching... I did not realize the impact it was having and continuous flow of God...another F.O.G. and you may be blessed with my new addition of LOVE LETTERS page added above. "ONE LIFE can invite the FAVOR of GOD to many in the storm" ~ Beth Moore~
*don't forget to click a REACTION below* taking my eyes off of this and looking to Jesus!
