About Me

My Photo
I am Qui... Latin for who. I am Yada... Hebrew for "to know". I am one who has learned a lot through my spiritual and physical journey in life with multiple scars. Basically, if you get to know me you will be glad you did ;)

Pray when you don't know what to say!?!

 
 
I found comfort in the following scripture:

And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weaknesses; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27

I am thankful that God helps my weaknessess when I communicate with him. I don't know how to pray as I should. It is the Spirit himself that intercedes for us. A interceder attempts to reconcile differences between two people or groups and that's what the Holy Spirit is between us and God. He mediates. What a great relationship to have.
 
Someone somewhere may need this... I know that I did. Have you ever prayed for something and it seemed like the situation didn't change? I know full well that God hears my prayers but I am convinced that HE answers them according to HIS will. If you have been praying for something for a while don't be discouraged and let God be God. Pray that the will of God is fulfilled in your life and rely on his sovereignty in all things. This poem by an unknown author blessed me. I pray it does the same for you.

I Asked God

I asked God to take away my pride.
God said, "No. It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up."

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, "No. Her spirit is whole,
her body is only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, "No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations;
it isn�t granted, it is earned."

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, "No. I give you blessings,
happiness is up to you."

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, "No. Suffering draws you apart
from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, "No. You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful."

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, "No. I will give you life
so that you may enjoy all things."

I asked God to help me LOVE others,
as much as God loves me. God said..."Ahhhh...
Finally you have the idea!"

NOTHING WILL GET BETTER FOR YOU - Deal with it!!

I don't mean that literally but have you heard that before? Well you don't have to listen to anyone diagnose failure...  I think this will bless you. Read on.
Happy New Year everyone. I may not be actively online in the next few days but I wanted to share something with you. When I was diagnosed with MS the doctor confirmed that I had MS or multiple sclerosis. These were scars on my myelin sheath that were causing damage in my central nervous system... that was the diagnosis.
I cried like a baby for at least a month. Then it hit me.. multiple sclerosis is not a death threat it's just another journey in this thing called life. Medically, a diagnosis is the process of determining by examination the circumstances of a diseased condition. The spinal tap, the MRI and the other tests confirmed a medical degree for MS. Everyone who knows me knows that I view MS spiritually and physically. Spiritually, a diagnosis is a determining or analysis of the cause or nature of a problem or situation. Let's talk... flow with me for a second.
Spiritually, you may have been diagnosed as "a person that will never do better". People may be looking at your past, or your scars, and they can only diagnose you with failure based on what they see. Don't accept a FAILURE DIAGNOSIS! I understand that we all have made mistakes but that does not have to be the course of our life. That's just something that happened to teach us how to live better. Even though you may have been diagnosed with failure or damaging scars... don't let the diagnosis define your PROGNOSIS...
Medically, a prognosis is a forecasting of the probable course and outcome of a disease, especially of the chances of recovery. My diagnosis did not look promising. According to one doctor my mobility would not be certain before the age of thirty. He was forecasting the probable course of my disease. According to the circumstances I was wheelchair bound. Well, thank God there was a different prognosis. I am walking, working and becoming a thirty year old woman next week. God is definitely good.
Spiritually, your prognosis is the forecast of your future. Don't let a negative diagnosis define your prognosis. A matter of fact, don't let negative people define your life. You can and you will do better... if you trust God and believe you can have a positive prognosis. We all have a past but that has nothing to do with our present. Will you make mistakes again? You wouldn't be human if you didn't. The truth is we have a forgiving God and HE wants your love. So in a nutshell...No more damaging scars... no more sclerosis. Here's to you and your best life in 2012! ;)

Proud to be a Christian but...





...I do not have Christian pride. The kind of pride I am speaking of is Christian arrogance. I'm sure you have met people like that. They have done everything right and they don't need to learn anything. The Bible says in Proverbs 11:22 "When swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with the humble (those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by trial, and renounce self) are skillful and godly Wisdom and soundness."


When people possess that type of pride it brings emptiness and shame. I experienced this type of pride a couple years ago. I pointed out something I discovered in scripture. I didn't add any personal commentary to the scripture and I presented it in context. The individual told me they didn't agree with it. This person was well respected in the "church world" and I thought they would help me further my knowledge of the Word.


Instead of telling me they did not understand the text they said they didn't believe it. I didn't understand the response because how can you not believe something in the Bible if you are a Christian? Pride! If the person doesn't understand the scripture they can't believe it. That's pride. They would rather say they don't believe in it rather than say they don't understand it. 


I hope I never have that type of pride because God cannot effectively use people like that because they can't be told anything through his Word. It's not about having a theology degree it's about accepting the character and person of God.

I CHEATED! NEW EDITION RELEASED 2012

I am up before 6am on Christmas Eve because I just had a heart to heart with God. Even though my first book was an inspiration to many I pulled it from publication. I did it because someone stole the content of the book and tried to publish it under their name. Thank God I have been able to prove that the work was mine but I never republished the book. I decided to make a  new line of novels, called the Proorizo Chronicles. However, I am convinced that spiritual fidelity is my ministry. I will be releasing a new edition of the book in 2012.

Poetry, playwrights, short-stories... I love it all because I like to write :) Something just feels different with the message of this book. I don't have to work on character development because I am speaking from my heart. It's not about how many books I can sell but it's about how many lives I can touch. That's the message behind social entrepreneurship anyway. While others look for profit I look for spiritual progress. My heart goes out to those who have a real desire to change but they don't feel like they are worth it. That's why I do what I do... I want to show you love on a divine level.

Thanks for being patient with me. God is definitely not through with me or you yet.
