They Won’t Be Young Always
I really had been plundering over my cover story for this
month and God showed me exactly what to write on yesterday. I
was at DJ’s junior ring ceremony and there was this little girl
who was probably two and her little brother who was no more
than one. The little brother was trying to get out of the aisle and
she grabbed his hand and said, “Now you come back here.”
It really tickled me because right then and there, I
remembered my babies who were a year apart, when they were
the same age. No one could have told me back then that they
would turn out to be the children they are. All I could see was
that I was a twenty two year old married girl with three children.
I tell the story of how I came home from Japan to get an Jesus is no longer on the Cross, but

GOOD GOSSIP
DJ is officially getting ready to do his last
dance… He had his Junior Ring Ceremony on
Sunday. My baby boy is about to become a man!
Dobrielle has 25 days until graduation!
Please pray that we go to the best college
for her.
I really could have used that Holiday and
Dixie money that I was passing up daily! It
pays to open your eyes and look.
Easter is Sunday! I sure remember those
lacey dresses and socks. My mother had
three girls and she and her sisters believed
in dressing their girls alike! Boy am I glad
that’s long over.

The Blessing of Your Testimony
I went to the hospital with Reynard and ended up in a
room with two God fearing, Jesus talking young
women. One of them was just on the verge of going to a
new job but get this, she’d put in thirty-six applications
before she got her new job. I couldn’t help but think,
what in heaven’s name will give a person enough
tenacity to apply for all those jobs and never lose hope
after the first ten……Only faith! She said that she
believed God….and now not only did she get a
wonderful job, but the pay is higher than any of the
previous jobs she got turned down from. Friends this is
what Faith instead of fear will do for you. Thank you
ladies for sharing with me…you know who you are and
I love you dearly. And this story doesn’t end here…..
So, the Lord put my cousin in my spirit. I meddled on
FB but that wasn’t enough. He told me to call her. I’d
recently changed phones and lost a lot of my numbers
but as I strolled down the list, there she was. So, I
called. We talked about her recently graduating and how
she’d put in applications at a lot of places but no one
called her back so she just put it down. You know God
had me to call her to give her my new found friends’
testimony…and I did just that. Is that not something
else? God knows what we have need of and He knows
how to get a Word through to you. Don’t ever
underestimate the power of God and His love for you.
Share your testimony people; you never know who the
message needs to get to. Be Blessed!
BOOK OF THE MONTH
"Through The Eyes of God" by Sheila L. Jackson. I truly
consider Sheila as a personal friend and I am so elated to
feature her book this month. I began reading it about a week
ago, and I must say, it is absolutely GREAT! You know we
always can see something that we feel needs to be fixed, but
the reality is…We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Even
in our attempts to fix what God has created, we are making a
mess or our lives daily. Every teenaged girl and young adult
woman needs this book. Happy Reading!

Faith or Fear, Which Will You Choose
I have really been dealing with fear and the power
that it has over the believer and I have come to a
revelation and understanding that if we are not
walking in FAITH, then we are walking in FEAR.
Yes, it is fear that controls us, prevents us, and
even directs us, and this just should not be. What I
am saying is anytime you do not believe God’s
every word concerning the situations in your life,
you walk in the bondage of fear.
“For as much then as the children are partakers of
Flesh and Blood, Jesus also himself likewise took
part of the same; that through death he might
destroy him that had power of death, the Devil.
And deliver them who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews
2:14-15.
See, we should live like, “I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens me and what’s the
worst that can happen to me, will it kill me.” And
even that doesn’t matter because then I truly live,
because Christ took power of death and I’m no
longer subject to the bondage of my fear of death.
But instead, we live like I can believe God for
everybody and everything as long as it doesn’t
include me and my wants. We live like we are too
close to the case and any lawyer will tell you that
you never solve cases that you are too close to.
Because we do not truly recognize the freedom we
have in Christ Jesus, the one who paid a price for
our freedom, we subject ourselves to living under
the bondage of fear.
I would stop doing drugs, but I’m scared I would
really see myself as a failure.
I would stop sleeping with married men, but I’m
afraid if I do, my rent won’t get paid.
I know he shouldn’t beat me, but if I leave I’m
afraid he might kill me.
Can you see the effect of being bond by fear? Fear
will strip you of everything you know is descent to
do. It will rob you of a happy and saved life!

Okay, I know someone is saying, Danyelle I try
hard not to walk in fear but every time I realize that
I cannot pay my bills and do not have anyone that I
can call, I automatically get all nerved up and my
blood pressure goes straight up. I try not to let my
lack affect me like this but I almost feel like I
cannot control this feeling of fear. So, let’s deal
with this……..
“The fear of the Lord leads to life, then one
rest content untouched by troubles.”
Proverbs 19:23
The Fear of the Lord is
“Respect, Reverence, & Obedience”
To God
First of all let’s take it to the classroom; our
emotional experience is comprised of three
elements:
1) Physical- An expressed emotion; causes
heart rate and breathing to increase, pupils
dilate, and mouth becomes dry.
2) Behavioral- Face expressions; body
movements suggest it and your actions
indicates it.
3) Subjective- You label them; Labeling is a
learned response influenced by your culture.
There are 5 narrow subcategories whereby we label
our emotions and they fall under two brackets like
so:
Positive Negative
Love, Joy Anger, Sadness, Fear
Now out of all five of these emotions, The
Common Sense Theory of Emotion says that a
stimulus- which is an energy that produces a
response in our sense organ- leads to an emotion of
fear, which leads to bodily arousal.
In other words, it is common sense to be fearful,
and when we are fearful we: run, swing, fight, kick,
or simply do nothing. Now, get this fear can
paralyze you to the fact that you won’t do anything!

Continuation: Faith or Fear, Which Will You Choose

How many people do you know are so scared until they won’t do anything good or bad? Well, what
psychologist call a stimulus, my Bible calls a spirit and specifically says to me in Timothy 1:7... “God hath not
given us the Spirit of Fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” So my people, if you allow fear to
become your common sense response, you will be powerless. Not only that unstable! How? When people fear
one while they want to go, the next they are making excuses to stay. My Bible tells me that a double minded
man is unstable in all his ways. And it also tells me “Here in is our love made perfect, that we may have
boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect
love cast out fear; because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:17-18
So fear contradicts everything that the Holy Spirit gives us! Well I just know someone is asking…Danyelle,
how do I get rid of fear and completely operate through FAITH? You have to enhance your faith. Romans 10:17
says, “Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God.” This means if you hear God’s word, it gives you
faith! Now understand that nothing becomes a part of your long term memory unless you rehearse it. So in
order for the word to be based within you, you have to become repetitive in reading the Word and rehearsing it.
Don’t you understand that whenever you have more of something that is what overpowers you? If you get
God’s Word so embedded within you, you will begin to believe the Word of God before and over anything.
And as soon as the spirit of fear tries to peek its’ ugly head in your situation, you’ll go in the drawer that says,
“I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13, and trust me there are plenty more!

So which will you choose: FAITH or Fear?

SALVATION IS YOURS!

I refuse to take for granted this year that everyone who is reading
this publication is saved. So today, I offer you Jesus Christ Our
Lord and Savior. John 10:10 say “The thief does not come except
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have
life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Christ came to
give you a rewarding life filled with His love, grace, and mercy.
He is the good Sheppard that willingly gave His life for you and
me. If you desire to give your life to Him, repeat this: Lord Jesus, I
confess You with my mouth, and I believe in my heart that God has
raised You from the dead! With my heart, Lord, I believe unto
righteousness, and with my mouth, my confession is made unto
salvation. And according to Romans 10:9-10, I am saved, In Jesus
Name. Amen! Now Praise the Lord! And on Sunday Morning or
Wednesday Night, find you a local church to worship God in. You
don’t have to worry about having nothing to wear, wear what you
have on right now if you want…..just go. Don’t allow the enemy to
rob you of this opportunity to fellowship with those who have
experienced the same joys and hurts as you. You are your only
hold-up. And in the famous words of Danyelle Scroggins, Be
Blessed!
