Hi I’m Marie Nicole. I’m 43 and I have cerebral palsy. I love sharing the story of what God has done in my Life and I hope I can use my story to inspire and encourage you to follow him and his plans for you and your life.
As a blog post, this celebration is a day late, but I celebrated yesterday on my other social media outlets. October 13th, 2014, was the evening that I met my dear friend John Lloyd Young. That was a night that I will never forget.
I’ll always remember the music for Can’t Take My Eyes off of You Starting and wondering where John was because we could hear him, but he was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, my mom elbows me and says
Turn around. He’s right behind you!And he was looking right at me. During the show he came out into the audience singing, Hey There Lonely Girl, and tried to hold my hand. I wouldn’t let him.
At the end of the night, I asked for a hug, and he said,
How could I say noAnd hugged me. Little did we know that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing and cheering on my handsome and talented friend 36 times. The majority of those meetings taking place at Sterlings Upstairs at the Federal in North Hollywood and the rest of our time together has been at Feinstein’s at Vitello’s in Studio City.
Below are some of my favorite memories of us.
We all have pieces of our lives that we feel are missing because of the safer at home situation we are in. What do you miss most?
For me, I miss going out regularly. I’m not only referring to dressing up and going to concerts. I miss the weekly routine of going to Bible study, sitting on a comfy couch, and chatting with my friends. I also miss freely being able to hug someone with.
Tonight I was able to participate in a Webinar called women in media and ministry. It was a conversation about women media and relationships.
I We learned that to maintain our sanity; we need to first and foremost need to stay in God’s Word and maintain our prayer life. We also need to place importance on taking care of our relationships with one another. We need to make time for virtual tea times and coffee dates, and if we are comfortable, we need to invite friends over for some socially distanced lunches ask them to bring their lunch an sit on your porch while you sit in your door way and talk to them.
When I first became a Beachbody Coach, I was the annoying woman who would only share , the products she was using on social media. I quickly learned that to truly be successful and have an impact; you needed to be willing to share other things about yourself.
well listening to a mentor of mine named Bob Heileg that you should share the notes that you have tucked away in your desk drawer. The notes that I always have tucked away are the sermon notes from church, so one day, I decided that I would start reteaching what I learned in church. It has grown into something bigger than me and is something that I will continue to do because God commands me to do and I want to see all my friends and family come to a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The reason for this post is to tell anyone reading it that if you have a desire to reach your community in any way start by sharing the notes you have in your desk drawer.
Do you think there is a difference between saying im sorry and repentance?
I think there is a huge difference between using the words im sorry and repentance because anyone can say im sorry, but it takes action to repent. To repent means that someone completely changes their behavior.
If someone tells you they are sorry, but their actions do not change, you have the responsibility to forgive them, but then you have the right to end or change the relationship.
For instance, if you have a best friend who.is always late.picking you up, eventually, you may have to them
I’m still happy to be your friend and hang out with you, but. i’ll find my own way to get there.
If you are in a relationship where someone has told you continually that they know that you’ve had trust issues with them because of past behavior that scared you, and you recently saw the same behavior. Forgive them in your heart and leave the relationship
Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea until they have something to forgive
-C. S. Lewis
The Myth of a forgetful God
No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord ,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord . “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”Jeremiah 31:34
For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
Hebrews 8:12
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.
Genesis 8:1
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded. “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’ “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
Matthew 18:21-35
What we learn from the parable of the unmerciful servant:
1. God specializes in unfair tradeGod made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2/Corinthians 5:21
God does not treat us as our sins deservePsalm 103:12
2. Forgiven people forgive people
Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’
Matthew 18:33
3. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting
I can choose to forgive people when I:
1. Remember how much I’ve been forgivenWhen you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
Colossians 2:13
2. Release the individual
3. Refocus on God’s Grace.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
Memory Verse
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Colossians 3:13
Today I’m grateful that I woke up this morning, and I’m thankful that chewy woke up this morning
Tonight, I watch another Amazing show online called The Super Heroes in Love Variety Hour. The Dromard’s are a Broadway Love Story ❤ I have had the opportunity to see four of their performances so far, and with each performance, they get better and better than the one before. This show, in particular, was moving because of a tribute to Tommy Divito. The cast of Jersey Boys from New World stages in New York sang a medley of Apple of my eye and stay
A showstopper from Desi came when she and a group of friends performed The Cell Block Tango from the musical Chicago. As we speak, this couple is on a road trip that will lead them home to New Jersey, they began their Journey to California on Father’s Day
Today was very special for me. I had the opportunity to watch two concerts today performed by two talented and Handsome gentleman. I’d always dreamed that I would be able to spend a day seeing these two back to back, and now I have. 🙂
What makes the day interesting though is that both of these fellas did Broadway inspired concerts and some of the Songs were the same Empty chairs at Empty tables was an outstanding moment for both men, in my opinion.
In Josh’s show, I loved when he performed Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. I have to say, though; my heart melted when he sang What I did for love from A chorus Line. I think that song sums up how most performers are feeling right at this moment in time because we aren’t sure when we will be able to be on stage again.
Both of these men have announced upcoming shows.
Josh will be performing on November, 26 at 1 p.m. PST and John will be performing on December 4. Time to be announced
My day is going good. It’s super Hot in Los Angeles, California. I spent time watching The Boys in the Band with Jim Parsons, seeing him so serious is a very different experience, but I liked the movie. I recently finished telling my life story to a group called Becoming a master communicator through imperfect action. I had a lot of fun with it.
