Today I’m grateful that I woke up this morning, and I’m thankful that chewy woke up this morning

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.
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.
Today I got the official confirmation email that said I’m no longer a Beachbody coach. When I began my time with them in late 2014 and becoming a coach in February 2015, I was looking for something that would keep the health and fitness momentum going that I had built with the team atmosphere of Live Big with Ali Vincent. At first, because it was a “shiny new object in my life. I loved going to the events that were called super Saturday and meeting the celebrity trainers. Eventually, the new happy feelings wore off, and I began to feel like I had to be pushy about what I had to tell people about the products, and I wasn’t very good about telling people what they had to do, for example, drinking shakeology daily. I had stopped drinking it myself because frankly, I got bored with having a shake every day and I missed eating. Recently we looked in my closet and found five unopened boxes of shakeology. A bag that has 30 servings costs $130 in the United States. I forgot what they cost in Canada and the United Kingdom. Once I found out the financial toll purchasing products can have on people, I began to serve my community of friends for free. Checking in with them as they did their workouts. I found that I loved that so much more.
I also began to feel that the #GirlBoss mentality was way to young for me. I had began to want to change myself image in terms of the language I used about myself and I began to call myself a woman. So needless to say the image did not gel with what I wanted. I’m excited for the next chapter of my life. I’m not fearful because I know God has got me.
My dream is to continue speaking God’s truth on my social media outlets and maybe one day in person at churches and hospitals. I want to yell people what is possible if you trust God and allow him to work in your life.
We say this hoping that people will.be comforted, but what if their world is falling apart around them. There are three reasons we should not say this to anyone.
Why it’s important to watch what we say:
- The truth matters
- God holds us accountable for what we say
- We do each other a disservice when we say these things
Big Idea
God often and purposefully gives us more than we can handle.
When they cried out to the Lord because of Midian,
Judges 6:7
Three Truths to Hold on to
- God will never give you more than he can handle
“Ah, Sovereign Lord , you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
Jeremiah 32:17
2. God will be with you in whatever he gives you
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
Matthew 1:23
3. God always has a purpose in what she gives you
Memory Verse
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
I’ve heard a lot in the past three weeks about identity and giving up one thing that you feel overwhelmed by because we feel like we are so many things.
If we know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, then we only have one identity. We are a child of God
Every title we have or tasks we do are only tools that we serve him with.
A few months ago took on the challenge of writing a little bit for 30 days, and I stopped at day 23. Today I’m starting a daily challenge. My day was pretty good. I didn’t do as much as I wanted to, but that is all on me. I am proud of myself for continuing my story in Becoming a Master communicator through imperfect action
Aren’t all religions the same?
- It’s one
Memory Verse
There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”Acts of the Apostles 4:12
So many voices, so many choices.
Aren’t all religions the same?
- It’s one thing to say all Religions are similar
- It’s another to say all religions are the same
what’s the difference?
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”
John 14:6-7
- Jesus is God’s choice
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
Isn’t it Elitist to say their is only one way?
It would be if it wasn’t available to allFor everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:8
For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 10:13
A verse speaking to the people who already follow Jesus
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.
1 Peter 3:15-16
Memory verse
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.1 Corinthians 15:58
Enthusiasm comes from En Thos, which means in God
There are two types of people
- Those who let their circumstances influence their enthusiasm
- Those who use their Enthusiasm to influence their circumstances
It’s not what you do that makes it meaningful; it’s who.you do it for.
But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 NLT
King David’s Enthusiasm
When David was a kid, he was an Enthusiastic person who
- Trusted God daily
- Walked with God daily
- Worshipped God Daily
When David lost his Enthusiasm:
With Enthusiasm, David ran into Battle to serve his God ( when he killed Goliath the giant)
With apathy( as King) He stayed home to serve his comfort. ( He had an affair and had his lovers husband murdered.
But he Got his Enthusiasm back when Nathaniel call to his attention what he was doing and the changes that.needed to be made in his life. David was ultimately called a man after God’s own heart
