I Look To You - Written by R.Kelly /Song By Whitney Houston
Lyrics:As I lay me down,heaven hear me now.I'm lost without a cause,after giving it my all. Winter storms have come and darkened my sun. After all that I've been through. Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to you.I look to you. After all my strength is gone,in you I can be strong. I look to you.I look to you. And when melodies are gone,in you I hear a song.I look to you.
About to lose my breathe,there's no more fighting left. Sinking to rise no more,searching for that open door. And every road that I've taken, lead to my regret. And I don't know if I'm going to make it. Nothing to do but lift my head.
I look to you.I look to you. After all my strength is gone,in you I can be strong. I look to you.I look to you. And when melodies are gone,in you I hear a song.I look to you.
My levees are broken. My walls have cometumbling down on me. The rain is falling. Defeat is calling. I need you to set me free.Take me far away from the battle.I need you. Shine on me.
I look to you.I look to you. After all my strength is gone,in you I can be strong. I look to you.I look to you.A nd when melodies are gone,in you I hear a song. I look to you!

The Winning Inspiration!
I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence comes my help. My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. (My Help... All of My Help Cometh From The Lord!) Psalms 121
I Look To You!
Hello BLOG! Its been a while! Because of technical difficulties on the web and in life... I almost lost you and I almost lost myself. You were out there somewhere in cyberspace and yet unreachable. And here I was around those I loved and who loved me, and yet unreachable. For the last four months our paths have been syncopated. Your status has mirrored my status... dormant. For months I had nothing to say, therefore you had nothing to say. But today, I hear a still small voice awakened. And though it is still faint, it desires to speak... although weak. So while searching for answers and reaching out to those and that which I put on hold, low and behold I found you in a hidden place. Little did you know, I too was hidden in a secret place. And after calling a technician to find out how to make you operational again; he said "Rhonda you simply must go into "tools" and clear out all of the cache's and cookies.
A "cache" is a place that stores up and compresses hidden things or compresses what should be private information. And a 'cookie' in its simplest form can carry viruses and are accepted by default. You can open up your computer for one purpose and an undetected "cookie" can creep in the back door, and gathering information that can eventually hurt, harm, overload or cause your system to become inoperable. Together their combination can be dangerous to your computer and your website. WOW! When you think about it spiritually, there are cookies and caches that can also be dangerous and lethal to your life.
I became inoperable and ineffective when the caches of my life, the hidden sin, the oppressed thoughts, the inner hurts and pain that were compressed began to leak its poison into my system. Then the cookies or the gathered information began to be shared with others, who were uninvited and came in undetected. My private information began to translate into opinions filled with words of criticism, judgmentalism, and negative opinions...., those same private thoughts , concerns, situations and detrimental circumstances shared began to poison and plague my mind with words of despair, thoughts of failure, fatigue and even finality. I became so oppressed and depressed, that one day my system shut-down and I was no longer functioning in the manner God created me to. Weighed down by all of the information and revelation, I was forced to reevaluate why it was easier to hide in a secret place within myself than to believe that I was more than a conqueror, because of the Greater one who lives within me. My soul was dominated by caches and cookies. But His Spirit in my spirit was longing to FREE me!
So today, as I went into my 'tool box'- The Bible, I began to delete those hidden things of dishonesty and replace them with TRUTH, and began to declare what the Word of God says about me. I AM who it says I AM. I AM created in His IMAGE and HIS Likeness. I possess the Winning Image - internally and externally. And old friend.... as I begin to express the image of the invincible God in words, thoughts and deeds... once again... "I Look to YOU"!

The Law of Cause and Effect in Action!
What occupies your mind determines what eventually fills your mouth; your outer world showcases all that has dominated-and at times subjugated-your inner world. Because the law of cause and effect is continually at work, there is always an inner cause for every outer effect. Your outer world is a direct result of your inner world. Every circumstance in life is a result of a choice-and every choice is the result of a thought. All those things that fill your mind hold the keys to your reality. Your thoughts provide the fuel for your words, and your words provide the fuel for your world.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Today Choose to Frame your Outer World with these inner thoughts. For you shall decreee a thing and it shall be established.
And so it is........

Yesterday's Tragedy, Today's Victory!
Except from "God's Minute" and a note from me!
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,f that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ( John 3:16 *NIV )
Dear Rhonda, Today we remember all of those who have lost their lives or became wounded because of the shootings that occurred in Alabama and Germany yesterday, knowing that; The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God,and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seem to have died, and their departure was thought of as a disaster, their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. Therefore, today, I would like to dedicate this message in remembrance of those who have lost their lives yesterday in those two tragedy's. Finally, Rhonda, let us bow our heads and say a prayer for the victims of these two horrible tragedy's, and for their loved ones as well. Amen
The scripture says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land".
In spite of yesterday's tragedy, we as believers have the opportunity to rise up in triumph knowing that God has given us a remedy - a four Step process ... an answer for these tragic events in our Nation and around the World.
#1- First, we must be called by HIS name. For there is no other name that man or mankind can be saved!
#2 - Second, we must HUMBLE ourselves.
#3 - Third, PRAY and SEEK HIS Face.
#4 - Fourth - Turn from OUR Wicked Ways ( repent - change)
Then and only then does God PROMISE to hear from heaven, forgive our sins and He and He alone has the power to heal our land.
Today's Victory for you, your household, your extended family members, your neighborhood, your community, your city, your state, your nation and YOUR world, rest in OUR ability to obey HIS Word and Follow the Four Step Process.No man knows the day nor the hour that the Son of Man shall come. When He does, will you be ready?
Yesterday's Tragedy is Today's Victory, because you and I Know the answer to the World's problems. Satan may be God of this world, but he is not God of ALL! The enemy's strategy is to Kill, Steal and Destroy. BUT... WE have the answer!
After you have done your checklist above then..... Call HIM Up and tell him what you want!
Now, let us PRAY!
