TEAPOT BLESSINGS,Heartfelt Devotional Stories

I can't believe I did it! I've had so many opportunities to do beautiful things in my life but always choked at the end out of fear. I have finally conquered my bad habit of starting something and then finding an excuse why I can not complete it.

I have published my first book; Teapot Blessings, Heartfelt Devotional Stories by Cooky Morales...now available at www.lulu.com

No it is not perfection nor is it grand; but it is mine and I completed it.
I joyfully celebrate and I humbly ask for you to enjoy the devotional stories within it's covers.

MY PRAYER

LORD I KEEP FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU MORE AND MORE EACH PASSING DAY.
Your Grace is Amazing
Your Mercies tender
Each of which I call upon daily
Lord Let the perfection of You within
Cancel the imperfection of me

From Glory to Glory
From Day to Day
You mold me till the day of Jesus
I will strive, I will press on
Be my guide

Yesterday I praised You
Today I'll praise You more

Yesterday I worshipped You
Today I'll worship You sweeter

Yesterday I seek You
Today I want to see your face

Yesterday I needed You
Today my need for you is greater

Lord yesterday I loved You
Today I love You more

THE DREAM GIVER

I'm getting ready to go to Victory Outreach Intl World Conference, and I can't put into words the excitement I feel. Everytime I've gone to conference, I've received fresh illumination from the Lord. Everytime God has positioned me to do something wonderful in His Name. Not because God needs me to do a particular task, but that He allows me the honor of doing something that blesses the Kingdom.

I feel the rumblings of a new foundation being built within me and He has placed a new dream in my heart. He is the Dream Giver, so if I take my steps of faith He will set the path for me.

Last night I attended our weekly Leaders Meeting and our Pastor showed us a DVD by Bruce Wilinson (he is absolutely the best). The subject matter was about unlocking the dream that was divinely inspiried and uniquely placed within you. Find your Destiny with 'THE DREAM GIVER'.

He started off with, how many people are living their dream life, and are working their dream job. Not one in the audience raised their hand. Then he said, "well how many at least know someone who is living their dream life and working their dream job?" Very few responded.

I have had many dreams that have been shattered and broken. There were many reasons they were not fulfilled, but the common denominator was, I GAVE UP. I feared stepping out of my comfort zone. I was paralyzed by the unknown.

I have served the Lord for twenty years now and I know He's not finished with me yet. So by faith I will step out of my comfort zone, and trust that God will guide me through this new journey.

What dream is stirring within you? Trust the Dream Giver, Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

The greatest composer ever, producer, writer, etc. is none other than the great! I SAID THE GREAT! The Great Lord God almighty! Listen, and listen closely. To do this you must be still, and be not concerned with the troubles of the day. Trust me, they will be there later, and tomorrow, and God will see you through. But for now, right now, just listen.

Listen to the stillness of the night, to the greeting of the sun-rise in the early morning. To the applause that the ocean gives to God with its' crashing waves.
Listen, to the praise song of the birds in the early hours. To the unique sound of an Eagle wings as it soars. To the echoes in the canyons. To the rustling sound of leaves on a tree when it meets up with a gentle breeze. Just listen!

Is not God the greatest composer of all times. I think so, but that's my humble opinion.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

INDEPENDENCE DAY
While many are getting ready to celebrate the 4th of July, Independence Day, they are thinking of fireworks, cookouts, parks and beaches. There are many who do take the time to remember our Soldiers and say a prayer for safe returns and to be kept out of harms way.

This is the time when we reflect on the freedom we have in this wonderful Nation and of the great price paid to gain our freedom.

I also celebrate the Freedom I have gained in Christ Jesus. The Independence from sin and thank the Lord Jesus because He alone paid the price to set me/us free.

I celebrate His love and favor upon our Nation.
I celebrate His Grace and Mercy.
I celebrate His eternal plan for us all.
I celebrate His Glory.

I CELEBRATE BECAUSE, WHO THE SON SETS FREE IS FREE INDEED!

A TRIBUTE TO RUTH BELL GRAHAM

TRIBUTE TO RUTH BELL GRAHAM What a legacy! I was watching the televised Home Coming Service for Ruth Graham and found myself in tears. While I've never met the Graham Family personally, I have benefited from their ministry. I've received books, letters and even Christmas Cards from Rev. Billy & Ruth Graham. It was a beautiful service, testimony after testimony they proclaimed her praises. She was truly an example of a Proverbs 31 woman. Ruth was spiritual yet very much down to earth with a keen sense of humor. Rev. Billy Graham was given assistance to stand; he leaned on his walker, faced the congregation thanked them all and began to testify her praises. When he smiled and said," I gazed upon Ruth in her resting state, she still is so beautiful to me." That was it, I lost it right there. I remember the first time I read Proverbs 31, my thought was; this woman does not exists. Ruth Bell Graham was a present day version of the proverbs 31 woman. She left us all a great example. Thank you Ruth, your life has blessed us all.
