Love

Welcome and thank you for coming to Beyond Measure:)   If you're a mother, I hope that you were honored with the utmost of love on Mother's Day.  If you are not a mom---guess what???  I pray that you've had a  special day of love in which you were honored, too.:)

I believe that the Lord used my mothers' huge heart to be a conduit of His love. She spent many a night rocking me in her arms, making sure that I could breathe, hoping that I could get at least some rest. The many hours she sacrificed for my life AND to create masterpieces of fashion especially for me---is  an inkling of an example of the love that my momma gives so freely.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  1 Corinthians 13:8 (NIV)

 Love never gives up. 
   Love cares more for others than for self. 
   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. 
   Love doesn't strut, 
   Doesn't have a swelled head, 
   Doesn't force itself on others, 
   Isn't always "me first," 
   Doesn't fly off the handle, 
   Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, 
   Doesn't revel when others grovel, 
   Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, 
   Puts up with anything, 
   Trusts God always, 
   Always looks for the best, 
   Never looks back, 
   But keeps going to the end. 
8-9Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. 1 Corinthians 13:7-9 (The Message)


I think I hear a song coming on, "All you need is love!!--------All you need is love!!!! All you need is love---love---Love is all you need---love is all you need---love is all you---love is all you need......":)

He wants the best for his children even more so than a Mother wants for her babies:)  You are the Princess of the King that desires to shower you with His love.  His love changes the atmosphere--His love heals, delivers, makes us free of worry, and any other 'stuff' that we may entertain that is less than desirable---if we allow Him to do so.  His love is uber powerful.   
  Will you purpose with me to allow Him to make us a conduit of His love even if it means showing love in a not so comfy situation?  It would be a blessing to hear of a moment in time (memory) that fills your heart with love:)   I am so very thankful for you. . . . . . . . . .be blessed

Hello and welcome to Beyond Measure:)  Thank you for buzzing by ---it gives me such a warm fuzzzzy feeling inside to have you:)  Sit back, grab some yumminess to sip on, and 'bee' blessed. {hug}

Honey. . . . . . . . . There are 3 key health benefits of honey:
1.  Honey is a natural energy booster. -  The next time we reach for that  energy drink (for energy boosting), we could step out on a limb and have a spoonful of honey to help us go the extra mile:)

2.  Honey is a super immune system booster. -(IF you are not watching the glycemic index of your food)  It has antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties that can help improve our immune system to stay healthy and fight disease. Honey does not cure cancer, but it possesses carcinogen-preventing and anti-tumor properties. This mouthfull means that it is a cancer preventative.

3.  Honey is a natural remedy for many ailments.  -  It can bee used to treat cuts/burns, yeast infection, athletes foot, arthritis pain, sore throats, sleeplessness, and it's a natural humectant that can bee used on skin and hair.
Honey. . . . . . is a cherished, nothing less than desirable, health food mentioned numerous times in the Bible..   It is a gift from the Lord.  Ezekiel 20:6, Deuteronomy 8:8-9  Prophetically speaking it represents a "happy life".

 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”  Joshua 1:9New King James Version (NKJV)

Isn't it so apropos that Tiffany from www.tiffanydoodles.com created this May release digi stamp, Bee Strong, combining the commandment reminding us that He is with us in whatever we do and wherever we go--- PLUS she included the uber cute little 'bees' that create/give honey- (such a complete/take good care of you food) 'happy life' to us?   He is all inclusive like that.  All bee-cause He loves us:) buzzzzzz  bee blessed

Welcome to Beyond Measure:)  Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to bless us with your presence.  Wooo Hooo Hallelujah!!!! Celebrate good times---Come on!!! :)

What do you think of when you see or hear a rooster?  Old Mac Donald, a farm, chickens, an early morning alarm clock, the ornament atop many european churches, Leghorn Foghorn, cock-a-doodle-doo!, Church's or Kentucky Fried Chicken, a McDonald's Restaurant commercial, the crow of the rooster in the Bible that confirmed Peter's denial, or maybe even  Tuscan decor? 


Unforgiveness. . . . . . . .when a certain person's name is mentioned, does it make us a lot or even just a little uncomfortable a/or does this person's name cause any negative thoughts/feelings to surface in our minds or heart?  If so, we could be harboring unforgiveness.  It's no biggie---right??  


 Unforgiveness/bitterness is a dangerous , dangerous thing to hold onto for us mentally, physically, generationally, and Spiritually. Statistics show that those that hold onto unforgiveness have a 500% chance of passing by the age of 50.  It can also be an invitation for cancer, heart issues, stress, wrinkles, depression, high blood pressure, heart issues, substance abuse, and even thoughts of suicide. :( 
How can something as 'little' as unforgiveness affect us in such a HUGE manner? We are all a part of God's design. ("We are family---I've got all my sista's with me!")  When we do not do things as He so lovingly shares in His Word, then our lives won't work properly no matter how hard we try.  
Matthew 18:21-35 contains a parable on forgiveness. In verses 34-35 Jesus said "And his lord was outraged, and delivered him to the tormentors, (tormentors can be disease, illness, spirits of suicide and depression) till he should pay all that was due unto him. In the same manner shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if you from your hearts do not forgive your brother/ sisters unintentional or willful offenses." Whoah!!! Muy importante!!

     Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'  Matthew 22:37-39 (The Message) 

Forgiveness. . . . . . . .an UBER powerful word! It doesn't mean that we deny the other person's responsibility for hurting us, and it doesn't minimize or justify the wrong. Through Him~ we can forgive the person without excusing the act. Forgiveness brings His peace that equips us for life. It's super-natural:)

Here's what the Mayo Clinic has to say about the benefits of forgiveness:
What are the benefits of forgiving someone?
* Letting go of grudges and bitterness can make way for compassion, kindness and peace. Forgiveness can lead to: 
* Healthier relationships
* Greater spiritual and psychological well-being
* Less anxiety, stress and hostility
* Lower blood pressure
* Fewer symptoms of depression
* Lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse


           Forgiveness is a little but HUGE part of His design.  AND when we do things His way---we are promised to have not only life---but one that is over the moon and back! This is the truth:) 
In the New Testament, the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) record that when Peter had denied Christ, he really didn't realize it until the rooster crowed.   Jesus had warned him of this happening, but he really didn't believe that he , being a devout disciple of Christ, could deny Him----this just goes to show us that we are all capable of disobedience and/or denying Christ. 

 The infamous crowing brought about repentance--humility--Peter immediately asked forgiveness.  The rooster is our reminder to do as He so lovingly shares in His word ,  that we must immediately turn away from and ask forgiveness of our uglies/sin---be it against another or just ourselves.  And the rooster is also a reminder that He is always there---ready and waiting to forgive---because He loves us.  Really:) (insert warm fuzzy and pic of heart here)


You are so very very special and hope that we can all purpose to ask the Lord if we are harboring any unforgiveness. If unforgiveness surfaces, we need to ask forgiveness and throw it into the trash can.  He will be sure to rid us of our unforgiveness--in doing so we'll be sure to feel like a new person. Break through  and peace unlike ever before. :)

Upon reading , reading, praying, reading, reading, praying and reading the above I sensed that it may seem as if this is directed not only towards you but "AWAY FROM" me. As if I may have an inkling of a haughty  thought that I am beyond correction or have arrived a/or even be close to perfection. This is so not true. I am asking you to please forgive me if anything like that came to you as you read the post above.  

You have no idea how much the Lord uses you AND Beyond Measure to touch and change me as I'm such a work in progress.  I do hope and pray that together we can sharpen/shape one another to become all that He has created us to be.  Because YOU are so special.   be blessed

Thank you for visiting Beyond Measure:)  It's so very special that you chose to stop by today.  {insert happy dance here}  If you're looking for the EASTER BASKETS post, aka New Life, please click here.

In our daily lives, there are times in which joy---is certainly unspeakable.  Bills, rent, Aunt Sally is sick, you tweak your back, or you get laid off. Lumps, bumps, and humps can sure let the air out of your beautiful balloon in a hurry.  Never fear---the Joy of the Lord is here!!

James 1:2  Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3) for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4) And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (Easy-to-read)

You're on the right track!! Yee-haw---Hallelujah!!
1 Peter 1:8 . . . . . . .You are filled with a wonderful and heavenly joy that cannot be explained (Easy-to-read)

Amazing!!!!  Celebrate good times--come on!!!
Nehemiah 8:10. . . . . . . The Joy of the Lord is your strength.

Will you purpose  that the next time you're in the midst of a trial a/or not so comfy situation---(when life has dealt you a lemon or two--do your best not to make a sour lemon face!!!)--- choose to count it all joy (make lemonade!!!)---which will be a heavenly joy (special for you) from the Lord giving you His strength to carry on :0)  Have an uber awesome Easter! be blessed

Welcome and thank you for taking time out of your schedule to visit Beyond Measure. It's getting to be that beautiful time of the year~ Easter.  Easter is often associated with eggs, baby chicks, flowers, bunnies, baskets, hunts, chocolate, dresses, hats, lovely colors, crosses and Springtime:) The Easter holiday season also consists of thoughts/celebrations of The Last Supper, Passover, and Seder dinners. 

Something to ponder:
Eggs (new life, resurrection)
Baby chick (new life)
Flowers (new life)
Bunnies (new life/multiplication)
Baskets (tomb)
Egg Hunt (searching for new life)
DarkChocolate (antioxidants for anti-aging, heart healthy, magnesium, endorphins)
Dress (endorphins help you feel happy)
Color (Life, happy)
Spring (new life/beginnings)
Seder (celebration of Life given for us)
Passover (enabled/protected life)
The Last Supper (do this in remembrance of the Lord giving His life for you)
Cross (Jesus died as a sacrificial lamb so that we can have New Life)
The Promise of Easter that brings joy and peace that surpasses all understanding is the resurrection of Jesus on the third day!! No other god conquered death and the grave:) Don't you think that the power to conquer death is sufficient to conquer the lumps, bumps, and humps that are a part of your life? It is through this supernatural love and power that He promises to give you New Life:) Forever. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God has great mercy, and because of His mercy He gave us a new life. This new life brings us a living hope through Jesus Christ’s resurrection from death.     Peter 1:3 (The Message)

So many of us have been 'burned' or 'put out' by people that are a work in progress. (as we all are) You cannot allow this amazing abundant life to be held back from you due to imperfect people being imperfect--taking you on a bunny trail (hippity hoppity Easter's on its way) causing you to not focus on the life-giver Himself: Jesus. No one is perfect except for Him---and people will be sure to let you down a time or two or maybe even three??? Ya think?
He loves you so very much.  This Easter season go on a hunt for an abundant new life---you're sure to find the golden egg!!! :) be blessed

Welcome and thank you for coming to Beyond Measure where your presence has been long awaited:) We are so very thankful and excited to get back in the saddle again! We've been having huge tech difficulties that halted production for a while---please scroll down and view previous post.

 Have you ever set out to do or create something but you didn't have a vision or shall I say direction for achieving the task? When you awakened this morning, did you have some'thing' or 'things' --on your heart that need your attention/focus at some point during the day? You may have felt a bit lost because you were clueless and did not know of the special plans that were set for your day.  OR is it a day in which your mind is racing with a huge agenda in which you do not know where to begin???
Yes, yes, yes, and yes:) You are not alone..  Whether you are a natural born leader or a follower, you need vision for your journey.  Sometimes vision/direction--at the beginning is incomplete and vague, but as you follow what He's showing you and continue seeking Him--it will unfold before your very eyes NEVER to disappoint:)  Other times--He may show you the whole picture! He's awesome like that!!  You are ALWAYS in His best interest!! Either way, it is such a privilege to get to ask the Lord what His vision/direction/plan is for your task. Huge cyber {{HUGS}}

For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. Habakkuk 2: 3    

  And then God answered: "Write this. Write what you see.  Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run.  This vision-message is a witness pointing to what's coming.  It aches for the coming it can hardly wait!!  And it doesn't lie.  If it seems slow in coming, wait.  It's on its way.  It will come right on time.   Habakkuk 2:2-3 (the Message)
 Right on time . . . . .   Without His vision, it's like trying to ride a bike or drive a car with a completely flat tire.  You can go, but it's laborious and many times discouraging. 
Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. John 13:17 

Will you join me in purposing to ask Him for His vision/plan/direction for the task at hand?  . .When you seek---you will find---He will deliver!!!!  Woot! Woot!! Hallelujah!! 

Picture
This is the premier of the inside treasures of the  Faith Journal Kit by Faithfullyyours.net!! This is sooooooo over the top and a HUGE HUGE blessing to create, possess, and gift to someone.  It is such an over the top Journal that can be personalized to be passed along for generations--It is an heirloom that will be filled with His Word~ His vision/direction/plans for the journey. :)  It is 'the' 'Journ'-al for the 'journ'-ey! :) (insert smile here)

 You may click on pictures if you'd like to see more details.:)  If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, it would be a blessing to help out:)  I think I hear a song---I get by from a little help from my friend---wooooo!!!  hooooo! Hallelujah!!!  Thank you so very much for your love, patience, and time. You are so very special!!! be blessed

Welcome and thank you for coming to Beyond Measure.  
Is there gold at the end of your rainbow?   
Gold is one of the most precious metals on earth.  It goes through a refiners fire to become the purest of pure.  Prophetically speaking , gold symbolizes divine nature.  Something REAL special---a treasure unblemished.
A Rainbow is beautiful, brilliant, and glorious. Multifaceted, it is a phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines on droplets of moisture in the Earth. Prophetically speaking, a rainbow symbolizes God's promises.  His Word. The treasure that is way beyond measure:) 
 Matthew 6:21 New International Version
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Where is your treasure, or in other words, where is your heart? Did you leave it in San Francisco? (don't slap your knee too hard)
 Is your hearts' primary shareholder your family?  Or would you rather be creating, cooking, eating, working out, watching TV, or dancing more than anything in this world or beyond?  Will you join me in purposing to direct our hearts to the most special treasure that exists?  

Absolutely. . . . . . . . . . . . .there is gold not only at the end of your rainbow but all around it, too---because YOU are so very loved:) Your powerful treasure is here, there and everywhere ---yearning to love on and converse with you:) (insert warm fuzzy feeling) Absolutely:)  HUGE cyber {{{HUGS}}} Until next time 
  be blessed

The power and beauty of His love is UBER amazing!!!  He literally transforms a person clear from the inside out~  IF we allow him to do so. Through many life experiences He has enabled that very transformation to be documented/witnessed/observed in pictures. (whether it be for the good or the not so great---it shows) 

New International Version  1Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

The Message (MSG) 1 Samuel 16:7 7 But God told Samuel, "Looks aren't everything. Don't be impressed with his looks and stature. I've already eliminated him.God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart."

It is impossible for anyone to be beautiful without Christ's love on the inside. They can be pretty but not Beautiful. Really? True Beauty comes from Within.
 Have you ever heard the saying: Beauty is as beauty does?. . . . . . . . . .ponder ponder ---think think think Will you join me in purposing to allow Him to make that transformation in our lives?
It's all a part of His BIG PICTURE:)  Really:)





I can hear Him singing now, "You are so beautiful to me---You're every thing I've hoped for--You're everything I need~ You are so beautiful to me". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .It would be such a blessing to hear from you via a comment under the post or by hopping over to the contact page. It would be UBER awesome if YOU would become a Beyond Measure VIP by subscribing to our once a week updates at the top right side of this page. Know that prayers are being lifted up on your behalf!  You are so over the top special!!!  Until tomorrow, beautiful.  HUGE cyber {{{HUGS}}}  be blessed
