Happy Holidays from the Webb's

Happy Holidays!  The picture on today is my 3 beautiful children (from left to right) Magen  19  Tee 7 and Haley 13....Merry Christmas from the Webb's!  Enjoy your time together this season! XO M~

Many of us are suffering from the ever upsetting economy....Myself a small business owner and my husband a builder :)  BUT....I am encouraged when I read the Bible and seek God's wisdom in all of this....I am also reminded what HE tell's us in Matthew 6:25-

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear.  Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?"  

We Forget these things when bad news is heard....We forget we are to praise God at all times....I'm reminding you today....you who are seeing this for a reason....GOD says...STOP WORRYING.  He is on the throne and in CONTROL of all!  Doesn't that comfort you?!  It should....I do TRUST in you today LORD....I PRAISE YOU TODAY LORD, No matter GOOD OR BAD, I PRAISE YOU!  Thank you God that we can lay all things before your feet.  Do that now....don't carry that baggage one more second!

I pray FAVOR, BLESSING & ABUNDANCE ON YOU TODAY!  

In Christ, 

Marion

Draw near to God....

I feel closest to God sometimes in the warm sunlight....you know the feeling....a cool day...and just where the sun hits you and warms you all the way to the inside....it's quiet....quiet enough to hear God....I love these moments!  

My daughter shot this picture of me in my parents yard Thanksgiving day.  She is an amazing photographer and can see things so differently through the lens of a camera.  She knew the sun would hit my hair that way....I didn't...although I was hoping for a great picture...and when I saw it.....it reminded me of my God who loves me so!  

James 4:8 NKJV

" Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." 

Thank YOU GOD for drawing near to me.....in the smallest moments!

Don't forget to draw near to God today....just start with talking to him in prayer....draw near...

Simple hearted....

Psalm 116:5-6  "The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.  The Lord protects the simple hearted; when I was in great need, he saved me!"

I am just so amazed at how much God loves me!  He loves you that much too!  I love the scripture in Psalms....it's so beautiful!  I especially love the scripture above....GRACIOUS, RIGHTEOUS, FULL OF COMPASSION!  There is no one else like this!  He protects the simple hearted....OH LORD....LET ME BE SIMPLE HEARTED!  I have been in GREAT NEED many times....trust me! AND...GOD ALWAYS see's me through.  There is much going on in the economy....but I am reminded, that God tells us not to worry in Matthew and here in Psalms, He says HE WILL PROTECT ME!  I am NOT worried....I will NOT limit my GOD!  I will trust HIM and will strive to be simple hearted...I praise your name ABBA FATHER!  Thank you for loving us all so much!

Jesus is the only way to the Father that leads to eternal life....JOHN 3:16  If you don't know Christ as your personal saviour ....Accept him today!  IT"S SO EASY....humbly asks for forgiveness of your sins and for Jesus to come in to your heart and save you.....then find a Christian, bible based church and seek the counseling there......Trust in HIM....and ask for BLESSINGS, FAVOR  and ABUNDANCE!  God Bless YOU!

Amen & Amen....

Are you a Daylight Chaser??????

My dear friend Suzanne gave me a wonderful gift....a book titled "Chasing Daylight" by Erwin Raphael McManus This book speaks of seizing the power of every moment ....on the inside cover she wrote from one Daylight Chaser to another. I don't know if Suzanne will ever even realize what a treasured gift this is to me! I hope anyone who reads this blog will realize ONE THING...that GOD created YOU for a DIVINE DESTINY!

"You can choose to play it safe, you can choose to settle for less, but never forget this; You were born to live a great adventure; You were created with a divine destiny; You are called to fulfill a great mission. You were designed for a unique purpose. NOW...you are called to live it out." --
Erwin Raphael McManus

We should NEVER stop trying, learning, growing, seeking...loving our CHRIST! We are so blessed to even be here....now go, GROW, LEARN, LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH, BE YOU, BE UNIQUE!!!

In GOD WE TRUST!

I will PRAISE YOUR NAME!

"O Lord, you are my GOD;I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago." 

 Isaiah 25: 1

(Pictured Right Marion age 16 at a photo shoot in Savannah,Georgia.  Pictured Left, Marion age 36 featured in 6 Degree's Magazine for her new business Marion Model & Talent Agency, titled 6 Degree's closer to Marion Webb.)

I have often wondered......knowing what I know now......would I have changed anything.....I can honestly say NO.  You see, everything was planned out for me before I was even born....the same with you too. God knew even then that I would make stupid mistakes!  And yet, He still loves me! AMAZING!  

I look at the young girl in the picture on the right and realize, this young girl, trying to be a "model" .....did not even realize the things that were about to take place in her life....AND then I look at the young woman in the picture on the left and realize that God knew exactly what HE was doing......giving me a business at age 36 and a whole new career!  "LIFE" here on earth is never over!  Not while we are living!  We are suppose to continue to GROW and LEARN and THRIVE!  We are suppose to be happy and PRAISE OUR FATHER even in the tough times! WHY you ask????????  Because as Christians, it's our responsibility to set the example.....to be that model 4 Christ!   It's also our responsibility to invite others to be happy and fulfilled in Christ by accepting HIM as their Lord and Saviour! And it is our mission and purpose to EXALT and PRAISE the name of the LORD FOR EVERYTHING!  That means, the good, the bad and the ugly.....no matter how hard....HE can see us through.    After all, it says in PERFECT FAITHFULNESS, HE PLANNED THESE THINGS LONG AGO!  Notice the word PERFECT....GOD is the only one who can proclaim being PERFECT!  And I am so THANKFUL that I serve a PERFECT GOD!  

Today and everyday I will PRAISE YOUR NAME FATHER.....

Faith, Love & PEACE!

"Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels."   2 Timothy 2:22-24

In life, it is difficult many times to be the bigger person and walk away from a "fight or quarrel", but here in 2nd Timothy, we are instructed to do so.  Wouldn't it be GREAT if EVERYONE walked around with FAITH, LOVE & PEACE on their minds all the time!  I often used to think of myself as a defender of the weak or quick to jump to someones defense.  Although I don't like controversy, I am not afraid to speak up for what I believe in....The problem was, it led to me sometimes thinking my way was always the right way and would cause me to react quickly out of anger.  I recently had a "quarrel" with someone in business, I actually maintained my temper and didn't feel angry at all...even as I was being attacked.  This person even accused me of not making a Godly decision which any other time would have angered me.  How dare anyone question my decision making right?!   I was surprised at my self-control............but, I was also on my knees for about 48 hours seeking God's guidance through it all!  And God spoke the solution to me so loudly that it awoke me in the night and He gave me the solution on what to do.  Once again....the words SEEK GOD are on my mind..............You see, I know if I had tried to handle this type of problem with out God, the outcome would have been terrible!  But because I was obedient and really prayed my way through, God blessed me for it!  I lost a business deal over something I truly believed in and sought my God for wisdom in truth and He BLESSED ME for it!   AWESOME!  So...that sting we sometimes feel when something doesn't go our way, can be blessed by God if we are His FAITHFUL, LOVING, PEACE FULL Servant!  

I  PRAISE YOU HEAVENLY FATHER for WISDOM and YOUR LOVE and YOUR PEACE that passes ALL UNDERSTANDING!  

I long to see your face Oh God!  Amen and Amen!

Being a Model 4 Christ.... Where to start.....

Being a Model 4 Christ....

How can I be a better Model 4 Christ Lord?  Where to start.....

SEEK & TRUST....

When we SEEK CHRIST and yearn for that relationship with Him....we are focused....we are focused on what matters most....our relationship with our Heavenly Father!  "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For EVERYONE who asks receives; he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."  -- Matthew 7: 7 & 8

Seeking goes along with TRUSTING....

"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the rock eternal." -- Isaiah 26:4 

I think the word ETERNAL is so key here as we know how important it is in our Christian walk....We must SEEK CHRIST, TRUST HIM & EXCEPT HIM to have ETERNAL LIFE....

It is so important to have QUIET TIME with God everyday....It's hard....I KNOW....we all get busy....but isn't wonderful that God is NEVER to busy for us!  Praise GOD!

Until I see HIS face....

Love in Christ, 

Marion

What are your strengths?

What are your STRENGTHS??  No, not your physical strengths silly!  Your gifts, what your good at, what is special about YOU?  God made each one of us UNIQUE!  We are ALL special!  God gave us our OWN special design...our own special gifts.   Why then, do we try and conform ourselves to the way others look or sound or dress?  Why do some of us have such low opinions of ourselves that we try to "be" like others.  

It upsets me to hear young people say things like "I can't do anything special like sing or act or model".    Do you think those are the only gifts that can come from God?   If your gifts are not that apparent to you, then spend some quiet with God, asking Him to reveal to you your path and the gifts He's given you.  Sometimes it's the gift of ministering to someone in need. It may be teaching or being a member of a team. Sometimes it's being a friend to someone that no one else will be friends with.  It could be public speaking or a knack to fix things or paint or draw.    

Even the way we look, we must LEARN to EMBRACE our GOD GIVEN BEAUTY!  You are special by just the way you look!  Remember, I said God made us each UNIQUE!  Just because you may not look like your favorite movie star doesn't mean you are not beautiful!  

Being a model 4 Christ....you must learn first to EMBRACE who you are and the way to do that is to SEEK Christ!  Spend time learning about who you are and how God made you special.

Be POSITIVE about your life!  You are what you make of it! Find your special gifts and your strengths today!  After all, God doesn't make mistakes and you are created in HIS image!  

Romans 12:6  -- "We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us."

Becoming a Model 4 Christ

Have you ever felt like you were suppose to do something special?  You couldn't quite put your finger on it...but you KNOW you were meant for more!  It's almost like this longing, searching, at times desperation of what am I doing?  Where am I going?  I did too.  I could suppress that feeling at times "in the world", but it would always came back....almost taunting me.  After I turned 30, I got really discouraged and felt unhappy and after years of UP's and DOWNS..... the only thing I knew to do was PRAY... And not just pray...let me tell you.....FALL ON YOUR KNEES, crying and sobbing prayer!  I asked God to reveal to me the path that He had for my life, to remove all the sin and doubt and fear that I was feeling and show me what He wanted me to do.  I pleaded with God and told Him I  was and am willing to give everything to Him.  

You see before, when I would pray, I would limit God...."Well God if you just do this for me or that....I would be so appreciative" But what was I giving God?    Not nearly enough!

I started a business late in life at age 36 :)  I was excited and barely slept the first year.....it was definitely another of my "I'm so unhappy, let me start a business and drowned myself in that!"  I was killing myself.   After the first year and feeling beyond frustrated with everything.... so frustrated that I fell on my knees and cried out to God, Lord, your will be done, I don't care about material things anymore, I give myself, my husband, my children, my business to you.  All of it is yours....please show me what I am suppose to be doing for you GOD, not my will but yours!  How can I serve you LORD??  My life didn't change instantly...but...the more time I spent with God...seeking Him...seeking His will for my life....the more I understood.   I dedicated my business to GOD.  I remembered that I am not the owner of my life, God is, he just wants me to manage it. It sure has been a much smoother ride with God at the wheel.

 God wants us to continue growing and learning.  In all the years of my life, with all the good and bad...... I realized that there are so many different stages. But the best part is that EACH STAGE prepares us for the NEXT STAGE!  That hits home with me....because I know that everything I have been through or done is not in vain.  It had a purpose ....and it prepared me for what's next.  With that said, that searching that I had been doing and feeling  for so long thinking I was suppose to do THIS or THAT in the world.....all of sudden....it didn't matter anymore........it was God ALL ALONG.....calling to me....quietly....I just wasn't listening.   You see....He placed within each one of us this feeling, this longing to SEEK HIM.  We mistake that feeling so often because of a euphoric feeling we may get about something else material in the world or someone else......but....that feeling of "what am I doing here?"  is from God.  He gave us a choice....it's so simple...but we make it so complicated.  

I choose GOD....... I am not perfect, I am a sinner still, but I strive everyday to seek God!  Trust me....I fought it for years and years!  I'm not fighting anymore, I am working for the kingdom of God.  I am doing my best to seek Him everyday and say, Lord how can I be a better Model 4 Christ?  Have you asked God yet?       He's just waiting for you to....

"For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance & the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." --Romans 15:4
