” Today if you feel like everything is against you , instead of considering  our circumstances , consider your God.  He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all you could  ever ask, think or imagine.He has plans are for your good and he can make a way where there seems to be no way- Look to him, trust him, hold fast to what he’s placed in your heart because he is working behind the scenes Just like  Abraham you’ll see every dream and desire fulfilled for  the Glory of God!”

Wow,  Now that is a positive quote from joel osteen.. actualy most of his blog posts are so very positive… today i had a call from a person  in his ministry…. and she said an amazing prayer….  thanking God for his blessings.. and such a positive, unwavering  belief that her prayer would be answered… that God would and could  answer our prayers…

recently i have had so many people who have wanted me to believe  for less… to dream less.. to want  less… and  its so different than when you have your  supportive and loving family and  friends  around …..   having a bully call twice on the  phone tonight…     made me a bit worried that i would have to go through all sorts of hell again…  but i immediately called  the  police  and wanted to put a stop to it right  away….. and that is how i feel about the people who really aren’t my true friends… or family… who could  care less about me…  or my happiness…

then i read the quote by  joel osteen… and hope and pray that one day.. i can brag that evil was defeated… that a criminals who are intent on committing fraud by manipulating…were not only stopped from  harming me.. but stopped permanently….. and that i can be blessed… i mean really blessed… with all that i ever wanted…  family, friends, beautiful home, great, successful business….  everything…  even everything the scum has stolen these last 8 years….

For some reason and i don’t know why.. but so many catholic people are afraid to believe that god can really allow them to be really happy… to have it all…  i was told by father kelly that  joel osteen was like a santa clause preacher…    but what  is so wrong  with santa clause?…..   why can’t  we have it all…. be happy… have a great family, a successful business… beautiful home, and great friends… and even have all your wishes and dreams come true?  I mean santa clause… what a great guy… gift giver… bringing joy and merriment… laughter and presents.. the fulfillment of hopes and dreams… of wishes and all that is great and wonderful… why can’t God be like that?…. full of love and……

I like hearing that all  things are possible…   i guess that is why i like when father john ludden says  ” without a shadow of a doubt”…. it makes me fees that there are  certainties… that without a shadow of a doubt….
god is an absolute…  one true thing…

I had someone today tell me that  everyone wants to win the lottery… or have a miracle of their own..and tha god  will not or does not  answer all prayers…  they put  hope and god and dreams all  in a very small box…
so i asked them…. if god wont answer my prayers… was it because i wasn’t  tall enough? thin enough… blond enough?  or prayed long enough? not sincere enough? cry enough?  what criteria will allow a prayer to be answered… or not  answered….. anyone have an answer? …..

If there is no true and certain answer why my prayes cant be answered.. then i guess i can believe that all things are still possible…
luke 11:9:  “So I say to you , ask and it will be given to you see and  you will find knock and the   it will be opened to you for everyone
l so i am still  anticipating that prayers will be answered…. so lets see……
