PRAISE HIM

Hey Treasures, I am sorry, I didn't get to post my face of the day yesterday. It's been crazy busy but today is Thursday, which thanks to Amanda at A Royal Daughter I know it to be a day to share about your Desire to Inspire.  She usually has a link up but I checked and didn't see it.

I wanted to share with God's lovely treasures, the message that was shared at my family in love's church on Monday.  If you missed that post, you can read HERE.  So these are my notes, just try and hear my speaking. I am going to add in a couple nuggets that I shared as I was speaking. The good stuff that wasn't on my notes but just Holy Spirit inspired. I pray this will bless you.
PRAISE

ISAIAH 12:1-6 (NKJV)
A Hymn of Praise
12 And in that day you will say:
“O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’”[a]
3 Therefore with joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day you will say:
“Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His name is exalted.
5 Sing to the Lord,
For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst

I will just go verse by verse using Isaiah 12 (found above)

Verse 1

And in that day you will say:

“O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.

 

--In this scripture the prophet Isaiah writes "in that day(Possibly referring to the day of salvation?)  you will say, 'O Lord, I will Praise You;' “Praise” in this scripture means “to give public acknowledgement” and/or “to declare aloud in public”,  if you are making a public declaration or acknowledgement then more than likely there will be a gathering you won't be alone. At the time that the book of Isaiah was written, God was angry at the children of Israel, they had continuously worshipped other idols and were rebellious. The prophet Isaiah is prophesying how "in that day"  we will praise the Lord and He will comfort us. Before we may have felt alone or isolated but once the day of salvation comes for us we now we will be gathered together to give PRAISE to the Lord. 

Verse 2

2 Behold, God is my salvation,

I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’”[a]

 

When I read, “I will trust and not be afraid;” This reminded me of Psalm 34:4 which is a scripture that I have been declaring over my life.

PSALM  34:1-6(The Happiness of Those who Trust God)

34 I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked to Him and were radiant,

And their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.

Here I shared about my fear of failure. I am going to save that for another blog post.

VERSE 3

3 Therefore with joy you will draw water

From the wells of salvation.

With JOY you will draw water (Springs of Living Water)
Well of salvation (Jesus)

JOHN 7:38 NKJV

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

ISAIAH 55:1a  (An invitation of Abundant Life)

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;”

VERSE 4

And in that day you will say:

“Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His name is exalted.

 

In this verse, Call upon His name can also be said as “proclaim in HIS name.”

Here we are NOT ONLY proclaiming-Declaring something publicly, declaring somebody to be something, show what something is-BUT we are doing this is HIS name.

There is power in the name of JESUS and not in the name of Victoria THEREFORE as we praise, call upon, proclaim, declare, publicly speak of what the Lord has done for you and for me, we must do it in HIS name.

We should be declaring our victories publicly, being careful that God gets all the honor and glory, Sharing ALL that God has done for us.

DECLARE that we are victors, more than conquerors, victorious, over comers, free, transformed, royalty. (you fill in here) WHO DOES GOD  SAY YOU ARE??? Start with yourself and then impart that into others.

Then we SHOW others by the way we live.

We make mention which means “to cause to remember”

This verse is urging us to publicly speak out on these things, to verbally express, acknowledge, share and spread the goodness of God. His love, His mercy, His grace.

VERSE 5

Sing to the Lord,

For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth.

 

This verse tells us to sing TO the Lord. He has done EXCELLENT things (NOT mistakes, Not accidents, Nothing questionable, or uncertain)

PSALM 5:11(NKJV)

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout (SING) for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name, Be joyful in You.

VERSE 6

Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,

For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst

Cry out and shout OR Shout Loud with Joy (like extra joy)

Shouting out ( Singing out) because the Lord isn’t angry at us,

He is our salvation

Our salvation from captivity (the people of Zion use to be the people in captivity in Babylon)

We are no longer captives but set free in Jesus!

That is worth shouting over;  that is worth singing about.

To close up, let’s recap what we have learned in this chapter 12 of Isaiah.

It is a hymn of praise and we see different ways to give praise.

·        Directly speaking to God (Verse 1)

·        Declaring about God (Verse 2)

·        Drawing near to God (Verse 3)

·        Publicly speaking of God (Verse 4)

·        Directly singing to God (Verse 5)

·        Shouting (SINGING) out loud in joy (Verse 6)

These are some things we can ponder about regarding Praise.

  

1.      Attitude of Praise
2.      A will to Praise
3.      Mentality of Praise
4.      Heart of Praise
5.      Spirit of Praise
6.      Time of Praise

I HOPE YOU GOT SOMETHING FROM THIS. SINCE THESE WERE JUST MY NOTES AND CERTAIN THINGS I DID ELABORATE ON MORE WHILE SPEAKING BUT PRAYING THAT GOD WILL SPEAK TO US. THANKS FOR READING THROUGH. TAKE SOME TIME TO STUDY  ISAIAH 12 AND LET ME KNOW WHAT GOD SHOWS YOU FROM IT.



PEACE AND BLESSINGS,

The Colorful Skirt

Hey Treasures!!!!

I have another outfit post!! Say what??

 So as Life as Mrs. Aguila,  I have been blessed to marry into a family who loves Jesus. My family in love has a Spanish church in the heart of East Los Angeles.  They are doing an amazing work for God there and God always uses my mother in love to pull on me. 

Every other Monday, they have "Dia De Las Damas" which means "Ladies Day". On this day the ladies of the congregation, direct the service. They also get to go up and each lady shares a scripture that the Lord impresses on them or that they want to share.  They also share testimonies or give praise reports and then usually they will have a lady minister.  This is probably my 5th time as a guest speaker for their church.  It is always a blessing for me.

I wanted to share what I wore (Mr. Aguila was taking the pics)...

As I was rushing to get ready, both me and Mr. Aguila just getting home from work, he chose my outfit.  He did really well I'd say.

Even though I am no where near my goal weight and haven't been doing really well as far as exercising and eating, my clothes are really fitting me big.  I bought this skirt from New York & Company, which I love to shop from, awhile back but had never worn it and now it was a little big. I didn't mind because I was going to church.

Be sure to stop by the blog tomorrow for my FOTD and on Thursday to read the message I shared and what God has been speaking to me and showing me and working on in me ALSO make sure to enter for a chance to win some fabulous prizes from three different giveaways I am a part of.



Of course you know I have to show you the shoes from Mrs. Aguila's collection that made an appearance. 

And here you have it, what I wore to church.

Blouse:  Worthington from JCPENNEY

Skirt:  New York & Company

Shoes:  Andrea Shoe Catalog

Saturday Inspiration

Hello my Lovely ♥Treasures♥

Today I am going to bring you some hope inspiration.

I read alot of inspiration this week and I would like to share it with you.

When you can live authentically, you will become a beacon of light and hope for others! Free to pursue God's perfect plan for your life!! By Paula White

This has got to be my life mission statement. The Life of Mrs. Aguila is to live authentically to be a beacon of light and hope for others and to be FREE to pursue God's perfect plan for my life. AMEN!!!

God's Word is always so encouraging to me. I mean anyway you are feeling or any situation you are facing you can find something to encourage you and fill you with ♥Faith♥ and ♥Hope♥  I love God's Word.

When we are feeling down and out, if we seek the Lord our heart will rejoice.  God's word tells us to guard our hearts. I like the way this version says it.

Proverbs 4:23 New Life Version (NLV) "Keep your heart pure for out of it are the important things of life."

I read this on my GIG's Facebook from Barry Cook 

"God does not want to bring you out of your adversities all beaten up and bedraggled; no, you are not simply a survivor, you are “more than a conqueror” (Rom. 8: 37). He wants to bring you out PROMOTED and INCREASED, with ABUNDANCE. Beyond that, God wants to make the enemy pay for the wrongs done to you, His child. God wants to bring you out to a flourishing FINISH. If you’re in a tough situation today, you need to develop a RESTORATION MENTALITY. Mentally ENCOURAGE yourself that God IS going to turn your situation around. REMIND yourself that you don’t just defeat the enemy; you gather up all the spoils. Your attitude should be, Father, I thank You, for I know I’m going to come out stronger, healthier, and happier than I’ve ever been. In Christ, we are loved lavishly, covered, carried, cared for, healed, restored, revived and rewarded for our persevering faith!"

“I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him.” (ISAIAH 57: 18)
This reminds me of shifting our waiting perspective to The Waiting Treasure. Oh what treasures are inside thee Greatest Treasure of all. He holds the spoils from every battle and I don't know about you but I've been through many battles in my life. I have found the Treasure and I want all the spoils, how about you?



Psalm 16 (NKJV)

The Hope of the Faithful, and the Messiah’s Victory

A Michtam of David.

16 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

² O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
³ As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

⁴ Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,
Nor take up their names on my lips.

⁵ O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
⁶ The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.

⁷ I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
⁸ I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
¹⁰ For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
¹¹ You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

 

Amen and Happy Saturday

Turquoise Crazy

Hello Treasures,

It's a short work week. I have a four day weekend and I am so ready. I dont know what Mr. Aguila and I are doing yet but I dont want to waste this weekend being lazy, Thats a first!! LOL  Do share what everyone is up to this weekend so I can get ideas.

So anyway I am on a Turquoise craze since last week.

Maybe cuz i am working on my blog design and one of the colors is turquoise, guess what other color I am using??

So anyway today's post will be a little bit about everything. If you have read my previous posts, you will know that for whatever reason I get my make up inspiration from what i am wearing, but it is not so much about matching just the color inpiration.

I mentioned to you before that I won a giveaway from Maria-Isabel of Agape Love Designs for some My Beauty Addiction products and one of the items I chose was Turquoise Eyeshadow. I love it!

So here is the look.

For the eyeliner I used Avon glimmersticks liqui-glide eyeliner in Brown and as a highlighter I used Nudey Booty from My Beauty Addiction but you couldnt see it on my skin color so I will have to give that color away. I usually use the Shroom from Mac as my highlighter but its a nice neutral color just to nudey for my booty!

And since I am on a Giveaway and a Turquoise craze right now. Let me share my latest giveaway win.

It was hosted by The Stitchin' Mommy and her sponsors Cuddlebug Cuties and Sew Crafty Angel. Stop by their blogs for some pretties and crafts PLUS Giveaways and Blog Hops and me on their side bar!

Here's what I won! YES I LOVE GIVEAWAYS and I just had to brag about what i won. It was such a great giveaway. I think you will agree.

Amy from The Stichin' Mommy does some amazing crocheting and she is a very attentive and sweet person. I am super impressed with her work and I love the colors and even the way she packages is so pretty and comes with care instructions which I didnt take a picture of, sorry BUT you have to check out her work. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

So there you have my turquoise craze.  Thanks for reading.

My Treasure, My GrandDaddy

Hey Treasures, how are you?

I have to admit, since my last post, I have not had any time to sit and think and/or write. I am not really sure why. It hasn't even been the procrastination thing, I mean procaffination.

I had a busy weekend, making memories with my grand daddy and my family.  My cousin had a fundraiser to the "Stateline".  I am a Cali girl. Lived in Los Angeles all my 30 something years. So when we say state line, we are heading to Nevada.  I hadn't been on one of these turn around trips to the Nevada/California state line in years, like over 7 years. My family goes pretty often but I usually opt out. 

This time, my grand daddy, who by the way will turn 89 this month, wanted to go so I told him that if he went I would go to keep him company. So off we went. I am thankful for the time I get to spend with him. He is such a blessing to me. I just love him and our relationship.

I had the honor of having him walk me down the aisle and give me away to Mr. Aguila on my wedding day in March 2009.
Isn't he cute?

This is my maternal grandfather. This man raised 4 girls and 2 boys all by himself. He became a widow when his last child, my uncle Emilio, was being born. He is so talented and sharp wtih his hands. He fixes anything and everything.  As you can tell, I am proud to be his granddaughter. 

Everytime I am around him, I just fill up with joy. His love is radiant, his presence cheers me up, his endurance teaches me, his perserverance encourages me, his smile brings me joy, his life blesses me. Does it sound familiar?  This is also what Jesus is and does for me and he also does it through my granddaddy.

My dad died when I was just five years old.  Even until this day, I am still getting healed of daddy issues. I have now found my Heavenly Father who completes me and restores me and is giving me back all that the devil has stolen from me. Although I never seen my Grandfather as a "Father figure", he was the closest thing I had to it.  He has always been my loving granddaddy, who use to work at my junior high school (yes when I attended) and who would give me rides to high school, to college and even to work before I got my car and started to drive. 

Father's Day is coming up and so I guess it was a good time to honor my granddaddy. I did not plan on this post but I am ever so thankful that I have an amazing Grandfather that I am so proud of and that I was prompted to write about him today.

Who will you honor this Father's Day?  (Your Father, Your Husband, Your GrandFather, Spiritual Father, Baby Daddy, All of the Above).  Leave me a comment and let me know.

God's Treasure,

Victoria

The WAITing Treasure Continues

Hello Treasures,

So how many of you have been working on your WAITing perspective?

I was praying this morning and had to repent, God said you seem to trust and even desire or yearn for people to give you confirmation on your baby more than trusting in Me and My confirmation. He said, I have given you MY Word and you still waver! He reminded me of the lady who kept approaching the judge and approaching the judge and the judge finally said yes. He said, that parable is there so that you will be reminded to continuously ask me for what you desire. I will, I am, going to give it to you! {Big Sigh} 

You can read more on this parable in Luke 18:1-8.  It will teach us persistence, faith and prayer, with a promise of God's faithfulness and justice.  Read it and leave me a comment on what you learned.

Many times we think WAITing means to remain idle, to do nothing but simply WAIT. We say, “I am just WAITing on the Lord” and “His timing is perfect, He’s never late always on time.”  Yes God gives the promise but we still have to do our part.

The truth is that if I want to conceive in 2013, I need to do something. If you want to get that job that you really need, you have to apply and go on interviews.  If you want answer to your prayer, you need to pray. If you want wisdom, you have to ask for it. If you want the door to be open, you have to knock. If you want to find, you have to seek.  If you want to get, you have to ask.

Chapter 8 in the book of Joshua, starts off with a promise from God.
Joshua 8 (NIV)
Ai Destroyed
"Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land."

The Lord tells Joshua, I HAVE delivered into your hands the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land. If you continue to read the rest of this chapter, you will read that Joshua did not just go home and wait for this to happen. The Lord spoke this word directly to Joshua but it did not just happen. Joshua had to take his army and not only attack Ai, but he had to strategically position his army and at the right time go in and attack. I want to inspire you to read these encouraging stories in the Bible.

When we are WAITing for our husband to get out of work, so we can go to dinner and he is running late, do we just sit and do nothing while WAITing on him?  I know I don't, I call him (or text) and remind him that we have a dinner date (in a very nice way{evil laughing})

When I am WAITing at the doctor's office for my appointment and the time scheduled has passed, I remind the receptionist that I am WAITing.

Well you get the point right?  While WAITing God does not want us to remain idle but He wants to meet with us, He wants to hear the desires of our hearts and HE wants to give us the desires of our hearts. He is our WAITing Treasure and in Him we find rest, peace and patient love.

Keep WAITing, Keep praying, Keep asking, Keep declaring.

Jeremiah 29:11(NIV)
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

More AVON Treasures

Hello Treasures!

Today is my 2nd attempt at a Beauty Blog, Makeup Blog.  Please be kind to this rookie Blogger/Make Up Artist.  I have to admit, I am not a MUA at all but I am a MUJunkie. I love love love to buy make up. Even if it just sits in my 10 make up bags in the corner of my room along with my perfumes, body sprays, lotions and all that fun stuff.

On a side note:  on a day like today when I ran out without putting on my ANEW day moisturizer for my face, I am so thankful for my AVON  BB Cream. It moisturizes with just the right coverage for a sunny day in Cali. You can check out more here It's All About Avon Treasures.

So yesterday, I got home from work and started thinking about my next blog. I took out ONE of my many make up bags and seperated all my AVON products and decided I'd work with whatever I found in there.

I shouldn't be surprised that I found so much AVON make up but I actually was because this isn't my daily make up bag. Ijust had some overflow stuffed away. Some of the products are older and may not be available anymore.

I mostly focused on my eyes for this post. I found two eyeshadow quads in the bag. I thought perfect since I have two eyes, I will use one quad for one eye and the other quad on the other eye. Good thing I was in for the evening.

These are AVON eyeshadow quads. I think it's worth mentioning that the case also has a mirror. It comes with the little applicator (which I used because my make up brushes were in another make up bag, in my car.) The names of the eyeshadows are listed and there is a diagram to help you apply. I followed the diagram, (Remember my disclosure at the beginning of my post, I am not a MUA.)  In most AVON campaigns you can get an eyeshadow quad for $4.99 on sale, regular price is $9.00. I seen a post for a MAC eyeshadow quad, $38.00. At Victoria's AVON and MARK shop you can get one of each quad for $40.  The colors really are True Color.  I really encourage everyone who reads this to try at least one of these quads. All AVON products also have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if you dont like the results, then you can exchange or return any item and get your money back.

I used the AVON eyeshadow primer in Warm Beige to help prevent fading and creasing. It is lightweight and waterproof. Also available in Light Beige. It is pictured above in a little glass container. I apply it with AVON concealer brush. It is priced at $7.00.

So here are my EyeS of the Evening.

I used all four colors on each eyelid, (since I used the small applicator that comes with the quads and not an eyeshadow brush the colors are not as popping as they could be.)  I used the Ultra Luxury Pencil eyeliner in Khaki, Sale price $1.99, Reg. price $6.00, for the eye look on the left side(my right eye).  For the eye look on the right side (my left eye) I used a MARK eyeliner in a turquoise color. Again these were just AVON/MARK items I found in this make up bag.  On my lips I used Avon Super Shock lip gloss.  I also had a MARK powder brush in the bag, some AVON lipliners, a few AVON lip glosses and two cream to powder foundations.

Before I am a sales rep. of AVON/MARK products, I am a consumer. Before I started selling the products, I would also buy them and I still do. Yes I want to encourage you to buy AVON/MARK products but I am also sharing to make you aware of this great product at a great price and well you should just order all your AVON/MARK products from me  =). Please and Thank You! 

If you have any questions or comments please let me know. You can also visit me here Facebook.

The WAITing Treasure...

How many of us like to WAIT?  (My hand is not raised) I don’t like to WAIT 45-1 hour at a restaurant to be seated for dinner or WAIT at the doctor’s office 30 mins-1 hour even though you have an appointment or WAIT to hear back from an employer you just interviewed with or WAIT for the finances to pay your bills, or how about WAIT for a dream or desire to come to pass …WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

I don’t know about you but when I hear WAIT, I usually cringe. The WAITing Treasure.  (HMMMM) To WAIT, does not seem like a TREASURE does it?  I agree but today I want to encourage you to allow a shifting in your waiting perspective, and this is for me also.  How can WAITing be a treasure, you ask? Let’s look at a couple of scriptures.

Psalm 38:15, "But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer." (ESV)

Here we see that, we are waiting for the LORD. It is you, O Lord my God, whom we WAIT for. So we are not waiting for the answer, we are waiting for God, who will answer. If we shift our waiting perspective not on what but WHOM we are waiting for, there we will see The Waiting Treasure.  Our Lord is our Treasure, our Waiting Treasure.

Isaiah 40:31, “Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.” (NASB)

This scripture in Isaiah, tells us what we can find in The WAITing Treasure. I like the way the Amplified Bible Version says it,

Isaiah 40:31, “But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” (AMP)

It's All About The Avon Treasures

I will attempt my first make up blog today.

I remember as a young girl, my mom always use to order AVON from my Tia Elodia and now my mom is one of my faithful customers. Love her! AVON products have been a household item for us all these years. What do you use from Avon?

Before I got married, I use to sell AVON/MARK, let's just say I loved buying more than selling so I stopped selling it for sometime and recently begin selling it again.  It's been going well. I have my regular customers, whom I love and so thankful for their support.  This time around I wanted to expand my wings and not just stick to showing the catalogs around but also promote my AVON/MARK website for your shopping convenience, AVON Representative Victoria Aguila. I also created a Facebook page where I share specials, promotions and new product introductions. You can like and share my page here, Victoria's Avon and Mark Shop.

Since I started selling AVON/MARK, I made a promise to myself that if I was going to shop, I was going to shop AVON/MARK products especially the make up.  This came after, I had made a trip to the MAC Cosmetics counter and spent $100 on three items. Yes you read right, three items. I ended up returning the blush I spent $25 on and ordered one from AVON for  a sweet $4.99 which was so close in color and most of all I love it. Eventually I want to do blogs on comparisons and such but I am not there yet so be patient =)

Ok so now, for todays make up look, I used all AVON products.

First I applied the new BB cream in the Medium shade using the Foundation Brush for an even application. The BB cream will be available in Campaign 12 in six shades for a low $7.99.

Next I used the Glow Blusher Bronzer Duo in Peach Glow on my cheeks. I was a little thrown off by the duo color to be honest but it blends very well. I just swiped across both colors and had a nice glow all day. This is available now on my website in four different shades.

On my lips I used Totally Kissable Lipstick in Coy Copper. CONFESSION, I have one of almost each shade and there are 16 shades available.
For my eyes I used Always On Point Eyeliner in Black and this eyeliner is available in 6 great shades.
Lastly I used the SuperExtend Infinitize mascara in Black. I love this brush as it pushes your eyelashes up and no need to use an eyelash curler. This is available in two shades. I use a great mascara technique I learned  from Maria-Isabel's Blog, Agape Love Designs.  Check it out on her popular posts. She's awesome.

So here's my look.




Stop by my Facebook page, Victoria's AVON and MARK Shop, for links to purchase all or any of the products I used today or you can shop on my website Avon/Mark Rep. Victoria Aguila.
