Shipwrecked Faith

                                               
                                                      Found Picture off of the internet


               Do you have SHIPWRECKED FAITH? OR Do you have ANCHOR faith?

Just soak that in for a minute and look at that picture. GOD clearly sent him help . .. SEE the other ships in the picture (during this storm) which we all have. Or are they in the midst of their own storm and they all just have SHIPWRECKED Faith (praying but not truly trusting that all will be okay). I find that often times people do not realize you can be your own deciding witness .  I had a pastor one time that I visited in the hospital . He was diagnosed with Cancer. I said why didn't you tell anyone ? He said I want to be my own deciding witness. I know GOD can and will HEAL me. The others will be kind and pray but in their soul and self they really will be thinking poor Pastor and be some what doubtful. He said I know what I know and I am and believe I am healed. (And he was). The others would of had Shipwrecked faith ( how I see it and HEY what do I know really) just my thinking LOL

And He had ANCHOR faith. I have never looked at that the same BEING your own deciding witness.

Well I am trying this year to spread the word and Love of our father in heaven and I thank  you for this time you spent with me. I will be painting some furniture soon . I have not felt like it LOL So hey GOD is surely proud though …We are thinking and blogging about him.

Love, Sherry and have a SUPER blessed weekend.

Lead and follow me

 Hey friends… First of all..check out this little nudge from GOD himself ( I have no doubt )

I was walking and FULL stop in my walk I look down and this was what I see. A beautiful Leaf which I did not disturb. I wanted to leave it for others to hopefully see. It looks like a cross. I was just frustrated with BOOMER . (BAD ON A LEASH ) and then he passed this and I did a double take whipped out the phone took a picture and all of a sudden.. I cleaned out the clutter (YOU know thoughts that don't matter ) the ones that shouldn't be in the BOX. .. So then I began to focus on how beautiful it was and the peace and started humming .. OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD .. I hummed it all day and reflected on things of the week and blessings and the LORD. That one leaf did all of that for me… LOOK AT what I saw on my walk .

I just stood back and watched them as I walked and I prayed and soaked in my surroundings.

I think PRAYER IS KEY .. The words came to me.. LEAD and FOLLOW ME .
I don't know why .. BUT isn't that awesome. Lead by example maybe . FOLLOW ME (from GOD)
Thats how I want to look at it. What do you think . It is pressed on my heart.

and in the end as you can see HE got better on the leash. 

I think sometimes it is okay to pray for simple things too. 

GOD is in all things big and small. 

I have a prayer request for a girl (Who I do not know)

A friend asked me to pray for her. 

She is having a hard time and just gave up her baby . 

I just know this must be hard for all concerned . 

She did a selfless thing and I ask that you join me in prayer and not judgment for her. 

Thank you for any prayers sent her way . 

GOD bless you all 

A BOX

Well we all need a happy place (MINE IS THE SEA) 

Good Morning my fabulous friends. First of all ..ISN'T GOD  just so good. I am on this journey of love and peace and it has made a difference in my life, My sleep, My appearance, My soul, My family. I can say this . I am looking at this life like a BOX.  It starts out empty. WE have to fill it up. YOU can only take so much with you around every day and its very important that you only put in what you need and are willing to carry and how will it bless others. I am trying to live this now and I just want you to know I am my own experiment LOL . AND it has brought me great joy !! SO GET IN THE BOX 

Earlier today someone really ruffled my feathers and I was so happy with my response to that person. I never dwelled and I even called that person up and said HEY I am going to church tonight do you want to go. The amazing force of GODS love was felt in their response. 

I am learning that the only true thing we can do in life is control OURSELVES in fact i think my Facebook status today was ( one thing we  can do in 2014 is we can control is ourselves. ) . I think as humans once we get the fact that we are in control of our JOY that life will become so much happier. 

I don't know what moved me to blog about this . BUT you know this thinker here LOL I blog what ever i feel about that day ..SO this is where I am at. Right along with DRINKING Water these days LOL I was told take half your weight and that is the amount of oz of water you should be drinking. IT has changed MY skin and I feel FULL all of the time so hey this RUSTY PEARL is sharing the news. I hope that my little post finds that your christmas was blessed and your new years is bright . I truly am blessed to share my life and apart of me with each of you . LETS ROCK This 2014 

Its all about what we put in that BOX. NO NEGATIVE energy . ONLY put in the GOOD 

TOODLES 

Paint is like lipstick for your furniture LOL

ON a serious PAINT note…. Me and My sweet sister have been painting at her house. .. She has decided to spruce it up a bit. Paint really is like Lipstick to your furniture. A little paint makes the world of difference. PLUS This Rusty Pearl has not painted in awhile ….SO it felt good to hold that brush !!!

 Here is a little of the Before . The fireplace was my project

She has had this house for 20 years.. SO she wanted to freshen things up !!

Here is the after 

She has new beautiful furniture to go with it 

Then she and my niece hit the walls with that beautiful sea foam green color. 

That is my sister ..hard at it 

Thing that happened The extra gallon of paint …DIDNT MATCH

Lowes did the right thing and gave her new paint.

BUT BROOKLYN my niece had to paint the walls over again 

She is a senior in high school and when I say she did a professional job 

I mean it.. OMGOODNESS turned out fabulous 

That is our super painter !!!

Here is the finished job she did 

The best thing was hanging with family. 

My little Niece played all day with her fancy purse I gave to her 

Have to brag isn't she the cutest ever !!!

She keeps her coupons and her sea shells I gave her in there …. Love that bundle of cuteness
Now Last night I was driving home and this was on the CURB.. HELLO
I see it as a rusty pearl my friends.. I am going to paint it like Pottery BARN .. I think its a diamond in the SOLID OAK  rough ..

                                                    Hey that is what I call FREE 90 FREE

And I will close with this ..Spread positive vibes today . SHOW love to everyone and be kind.

GOD bless you all .. Love Sherry (thanks for spending some of your day with me )

SEEK

From Jesus Calling !!!

Seek My face, and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings. My world is filled with beautiful things, they are meant to be pointers to Me, reminders of My abiding Presence. The earth still declares My Glory to those who have eye that see and ears that hear. 

God chose to pour his light into us, so that we can be beacons to others. There is no room for pride in this position. Your part is to reflect his Glory … For he is the Lord. 

 I read this today and just wanted to share. Isn't this picture just beautiful. A gift for sure. I called these wishing weeds when I was itty bitty. I still pick them today and wish on them … Hope that your day is blessed. … Sherry @ THE RUSTY PEARL 

TOODLES… 

NUDGE

I have felt kind of BLAH !!

Normal every day life things going on  BUT 

Just Blah..

Then I was driving in my car to go and get lunch 

AND GOD 

NUDGED ME!!!

DO you see it? I know it is probably the traces of air craft -- etc. 

BUT when I see these I kind of consider it 

my nudge that GOD  is near me 

HE of course is in my heart. 

But its just a sign. I say give me a sign LORD and 

usually when I look up ..

I see the cross up there. DO YOU SEE IT ? 

Changed my whole day and BLESSED for it. 

What are some little nudges that you get? 

It was just a little reminder to me that even feeling BLAH he is near. 

KIND OF A VISIT 

Wanted to share this scripture with you. I saw it on a sweet friends blog yesterday and I wrote it down i loved it so much . 

I am the fruit you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit, Apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my fathers GLORY. That you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 

I just thought on that all day after I READ it . 

GOD IS GOOD 

Thanks for spending apart of your day with me. 

xoxooxo HUGS 

GOOD SHOES - RE(POSTING)

If God gives us STONY paths .. He will give us GOOD shoes ....God has no problems ...ONLY plans. .. I read this in a mothers inspirational book today and LOVED it !!! Not to mention was able to use one of my pics for the title picture... YAY !!!

Day 2 Picture ... I found this old shell.... I took pictures of all sides... YOU cant really see it but its very weathered and has little holes in it.  Prompted me to hold it feel it ...TOUCH it and appreciate the textures of it and the edges etc..  I then thought ..WOW wonder where it came from. What journey it had been thru to be now in my hands.. What it survived .. made me feel thankful. So this i will write in my book for Day 2.. I have now placed it at the end of my desk (shell) desk that is a constant project LOL .. BUT it has a home...and FREE 90 FREE cant put a price on that kind of beauty or GIFT from GOD .............The simple things.......

There is my shell desk that I have been working on for awhile.. It is all the shells over the years that i have saved or kids have given to me etc... Special vacations you name it . PRICELESS to me ..

The shell now has a home on my desk for me to admire and ponder where it came from and what JOURNEY it took to get here...............  (knowing full well its a gift from GOD )

Now Little Jelly  - Bean has been part of it all !!!!!!  She is for sure My little gift from GOD !!! OMGOSH who knew she could be such a JOY and bright spot in life .. LOVE little Jelly

She is not RUSTY but she sure is a PEARL (a PEARL to me is all things special)

I will close with this ....

I am ever so near you, hovering over your shoulder, reading every thought . People think that thoughts are fleeting and worthless, but yours are precious to me.  (says the LORD) ..

Isnt that awesome to think about GOD being near us .. I really do feel like I know GOD . I talk to him daily . I do have a relationship with him.  I loved when I read this .. Made me feel accountable for my thoughts and more conscious of my thoughts.. OUT with the YUCKY and only putting positive in sort of thing. ........................Thanks for following along.. HUGS and going to start a paint project this week YAY ................................... GOD bless and have a great rest of the day ...

TOODLEPIP !!!!!!!
