A little about me

Hello my dear friends! To all of you that have recently joined this page, welcome!

So, a little about me. I realize I haven’t really shared much about myself. I tend to just jump in and post either something I've written and want to share with all of you or a video clip that I'd like to share of other teachers or singers.

So, who is Mildred and why did I choose the name “Reflecting Truth Ministries.” I am happily married. My husband and I have been blessed with 18 years of marriage. We have three kids, 2 boys and a girl sandwiched in-between them. I have been teaching the Word of God for a long time now, like for twenty four years. I am a writer, not just of the short teachings I share with all of you but, I also am in the process of writing a novel. I have other projects I'm working on as well. Praying to become a published author soon. I'll keep you posted on that. I’m also working on setting up a YouTube Channel. I’ll also keep you posted on that.

The name "Reflecting Truth Ministries" was prayed over. God gave me this name. Why? This is what we are to do, day in and day out, reflect Truth. We are to be a reflection of our God daily. "Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 (NIV) “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom…the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.” James 3:13, 7-18 (NKJV) The ministry’s verse is Proverbs 27:19: "As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart." Proverbs 27:19 (NIV)

This ministry page is such a blessing to me. I pray that all the Lord leads me to post may be a blessing to you. Know that I pray for all of you. I welcome your comments. You’re always welcome to share my posts with your loved ones.

How about you? I’d love for you to share something about yourselves too.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post! God bless you!

Time Keeps on Moving

    Most people consider themselves to be busy. Busy seems to be the norm for a lot of people. In fact, if you're not busy people think there's something wrong with you. Our busy-ness keeps us distracted from the reality that no matter what we are doing time keeps on moving. If we are not careful time will slip on by us and before we know it we have lost precious time. It's not necessarily that we do not spend time on what's important. It's that we need to watch how much time is being spent. How much time do we set aside for God, our spouses, our children, friends or even for ourselves? If we were to actually stop and pay attention to how much time we actually spend with God, our loved ones or on ourselves, I think we'd be surprised. Yes, grant it, there are some of you out there that do spend time wisely and if that is so, then Amen! But, if not, it's time to do some introspection.

It is important for all who are part of the Body of Christ to understand how vital it is to appreciate time. Time is given to us freely by God. It is not given to us to waist. It is not given to us to only do what we please. It is given to us so that we will use it wisely. God will do what is necessary to help us use our time wisely even stop time if necessary. During a very important battle the Israelites were in that was headed by Joshua, God answered Joshua's request to stop time. "And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day." Joshua 10:13 (KJV)

Unless God answers our requests to stop time, it will continue to move on. Using our time wisely keeps us from being distracted with things or people that we shouldn't spend any time with. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV) Stay focused on God and everything else will fall into place. "…and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to." Matthew 6:33 (TLB)
