This is day 3 of my journey in Faith and I have to say it has begun to stir and build already. Hubby and I have set aside time to do this TOGETHER...yes together and that makes this process even more exciting. New revelation is being birthed through us both. PTL Father God, guide me into YOUR truth and make me (US) aware of it when not responding in faith.<br />

Here are some of the things that I have read that has been important to me:<br />
<br />
Day 2 (taken from the book): "The definition of reasoning outside <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">The WORD</span> is <u>worry</u>. When you begin to reason outside God's WORD, you automatically begin to worry. 'What if that happens?' 'What are we going to do if the Holy Ghost does break out in our denomination and people start talking in tongues right in the middle of church?' 'What am I going to do?' The big<i> I </i>- that is selfishness. The roof of selfishness is fear, NOT faith."<br />
<br />Day 3: " The power used to overcome the world is faith. Think of it! There is enough of God's very own faith residing on the inside of you right now to overcome anything the world can throw at you! God is a faith being. You are born of Him, so you are a faith being. God doesn not do anything outside of faith. With His faith living in you, you are to operate the same way."<br />
<br />
Wow, just wow. If Jesus is inside of me - which HE is then I have HIS KIND of faith. I believe it is time for me to take a step forward and utilize what HE has given me.Querm Poob (Marsha)http://www.blogger.com/profile/01700072931623004304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646060537956127083.post-84419315853836275752013-04-23T10:30:00.000-07:002013-04-23T10:30:13.578-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was <span style="font-size: small;">super excited when I opened my Su<span style="font-size: small;">gar n' Spice </span>VoxBox</span></span> </span></span>I received from <a href="http://www.influenster.com/">Influenster</a>. Especially when I opened it up and found the <a href="http://www.colgate.com/app/ColgateOralCare/Whitening/ColgateOpticWhite/US/EN/HomePage.cwsp">Cologate Optic White</a> Regimen: toothpaste, mouthwash and toothbrush. I couldn't wait to write my first review on my first use. This is what I wrote at that time: "The toothpaste was extremely minty with a slight burning sensation in my
mouth. Talking about burning...that would be the mouthwash. I had to
spit it out quickly because it shocked me so bad. I'm sure I will get
accustomed to it and will love it. The mouthwash claims to be alcohol
free and to use the same whitening ingredients as strips. All in all it
was a great product for my first try and it left my mouth/teeth feeling
clean." After using these products now for a month I now have to say that I never got accustomed to the mouthwash. I stopped using it after 3 tries because the burning was way more than I could handle. I continued using the toothpaste for the rest of the month. At this time, I started receiving red splotches on my throat followed by bump looking things on the tongue. Not really thinking anything about it because I thought I was just fighting a cold or something. Then I started loosing my voice and being a singer that is just a no no. So I started to examine what could be going on. Then it hit me - STOP using the toothpaste!!! So I did and sure enough my throat and tongue started recovering. I knew going into this testing that I was sensitive to things in my mouth....going to the dentist has never been easy for me. This has showed me just how sensitive I am. I was truly looking forward to have whiter teeth and fresher breath but I just can't handle how strong these products are. I do have to say tho - I LOVE THE TOOTHBRUSH and hubby is enjoying the toothpaste. I just wish I would have taken before photos of his teeth for my review but he wouldn't let me. I don't feel it would be right for me to give my normal Shmoo ratings because of my obvious sensitivity. </div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f;">I would like to introduce <a href="http://www.dickinsonbrands.com/">Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes</a> - an American tradition since 1866. Upon receiving this complimentary product from <a href="http://www.influenster.com/">Influenster</a> I recognized the name right off the bat even tho I have never had the privileged of using this product. So first I had to read up and I learned that this products gently removes oils and impurities leaving skin feeling soft, smooth and balanced. I have to say they are right on with that statement. It has been roughly about two hour since using the towelettes and my skin still feels as smooth as when I first used it. It refreshed my skin and reading that it fights blemishes is just an added bonus. I am excited that they have 20 individually wrapped wet towelettes for "on the go" people like myself. They are so easy to use and they will find themselves at home in my purse for those multiple church services when I just want to freshen up. The only negative I have is the smell - I find it to be strange. Luckily the smell does fade rather quickly! Awesome product even with the smell, I give this product 5 out of 5 Shmoos!</span></div>

I ac<span style="font-size: small;">tually think that part is quite interesting b<span style="font-size: small;">ecause f<span style="font-size: small;">rom what I have see these celebrity chefs can always pick <span style="font-size: small;">who has had train<span style="font-size: small;">ing.

<br />
<br />
I hate blow drying my long, thick hair because it takes so long. This brush
really sops up the water and helps to cut the drying time down. I love the vents on this side of the brush that helps to keep air flowing. The paddle styler has microfiber bristles, which remove 30% of water as
you style. YES!!! This means less damage from heat! It left my hair smooth and shiny!<br />
<br />
The only problem I found with it is that after a few brushes the microfibers seem to be pushed down. I will then have to dry them and push them back up to continue to use. I'm not sure if this is just bc my hair is so long and thick that it can't handle it or just what. However, if I towel dry some before using this brush it doesn't seem to happen. <br />

This is a pic of the brush with the microfibers pushed down after use.<br />
<br />
With this all being said, I really do enjoy this brush and I give it 4 out of 5 Shmoos (still an A in my book).<br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i></b></span><span style="font-size: small;">I received this <a href="http://www.kissnaildress.com/">Kiss Nail Dress </a></span>in my box from <a href="http://abun-danceblessings.blogspot.com/2012/12/influenster-holiday-voxbox-12-voxbox.html">Influenster Holiday VoxBox</a> on Christmas Eve. Well, I had wanted to try this myself but on Christmas Day as I headed out the door to my parents for some reason I put these in my purse. See everyone was gathering at my parents home for the Holiday festivities and what we thought would be a normal Christmas Day turned out to be much more than we expected.<br />
<br />
Everyone was there: mom and dad, my sister and her two children, hubby and myself. The table was full of good food and gifts were under the tree. Everything started out normal and just after we had finished eating and opening gifts we hear sirens going off in the distance. We all rushed outside and noticed the sky had turned dark...eerie dark. We turned on the tv to see what was going on. Right then the tv station was showing a live shot of our county of the dark sky when they noticed the clouds starting to rotate. As we sat there watching a tornado formed. We continued to watch as it started hitting transformers and power-lines. Although it was off in the distance we could see the sky turn green.<br />
<br />
It wasn't an invited guest to anyone's home but it showed up none-the-less. It dissipated just shy of my parents city. PTL but with this being said, I decided to let my teenage niece try these out so the day would not be all about the tornado.<br />

She sat there on the couch and got lost in applying this nail fashion to her toes. She spoke of how easy it was to apply. She stated that she had used other brands before and that these went on with ease. We spoke as she shared her newly manicured toes with everyone in the room about how she would rate them. With what she said and since I am all about Shmoo, we give this product.....<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Genesis the first book of the Bible begins with the creation of the universe: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.<span style="color: navy;">" </span>Here we find out that this beautiful earth is HIS glorious creation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Bible is crystal clear that the earth and everything in it was given by God to man to rule over and subdue. "And God blessed the, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth'" (Genesis 1:28) Therefore, we were created in His image - HE gave us (men and women) this privileged place among all creatures and commanded us to exercise stewardship over the earth. Stewardship expresses care-taking, not abusing. So when we live and act in a way that shows disregard to that which God has created, we aren't honoring him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I feel that this is what today - Earth Day is about to me...Honoring and Celebrating our Heavenly Father. Elohim wants us to enjoy this earth to the fullest and He wants us to have days of Heaven on Earth. In honor of Earth Day - I honor my Lord!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T<span style="font-size: x-small;">his Friday my niece will be getting married and she is bursting with excitement. She has been making plans and preparing for weeks and the time is now upon her. This made me want to read up on the "Jewish Wedding" and how it paints a beautiful analogy of a bride and groom to the relationship of Jesus to the church. I will not go into the traditional "Jewish Wedding" ceremony but I would highly recommend studying it further. A better understanding will not only deepen an appreciation of God's <i><span style="color: #990000;">LOVE</span></i> for us, but it will give us insights into prophetic events. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As every groom pledges his love to his bride, so Jesus committed His <i><span style="color: #990000;">LOVE</span></i> to believers. I understand that Christ has fallen head-over-heels in <i><span style="color: #990000;">LOVE</span></i> with me and I in Him. We just finished celebrating His great <i><span style="color: #990000;">LOVE</span></i> for us the past weekend when He was willing to die for us. It had to be <i><span style="color: #990000;">LOVE</span></i> to suffer all that He went through. The beatings, the crown of thorns, and the nails...all for His BRIDE. He could have stopped it all at any point, but He <i><span style="color: #990000;">LOVED</span></i> you and me so much he couldn't bear to spend eternity without us. As I have seen it written so beautifully, "With His blood He paid the price for a royal wedding."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm in the process of helping my niece with a few of her preparations for this big day of hers. The last minute touches to the dress, the flowers and the music are important. It is just as important for us to spend our time preparing for His presence in our lives on a daily basis. Being the Bride of Christ is more than standing in a white dress at the altar, it is having an intimate relationship with Him. As others stare at the Bride in her beautiful white dress, her eyes will be fixed upon her Groom that she has prepared for. All she will see is the <i><span style="color: #990000;">LOVE</span></i> He has for her. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In that moment, all the preparations she went through will be worth it - they will be husband and wife. As believers in Christ Jesus, we the Bride of Christ have waited with great anticipation as well for the day we will be united with our Bridegroom. Until that time comes, I will remain faithful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and will say "Come, Lord Jesus, your bride awaits!"</span></div>Querm Poob (Marsha)http://www.blogger.com/profile/01700072931623004304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646060537956127083.post-27273420242060394792012-04-05T17:26:00.000-07:002012-04-05T17:56:44.472-07:00It's Friday...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

=o) This is my first blog post and how fitting it is to me that I am sharing this very powerful video. I want to say thank you Lord Jesus for being willing to die me and for this Blood Covenant I now partake in.</div>Querm Poob (Marsha)http://www.blogger.com/profile/01700072931623004304noreply@blogger.com1
