COME…see the Victory we can share…..

Why do you wait for me to COME to you? Is this madness that You wait? I am just a sinner attempting to stay on the path of least resistance. Oh, but attempting in my own strength, this is where the confusion sets in.

You say to COME…not to GO…but to COME…not to hide…You, the God of the universe ask simply for me to COME to You and You will rescue my soul, walk with me and reveal the truth to set me free…So why do I attempt with---out You... when I can succeed with you?

Be Patient, Lord…I will COME to you, in my time,

no…Your time, because Your timing is so perfect in all You do. Emotions, feelings, desires all given to you and You change the attempt to a victory…..Thank you Jesus….Through Your precious blood…if only a drop… Victory….

Praise is a choice

Wondering how you ended up where you are? Feeling as if time is the enemy? Curious if you can ever change or make a difference in other peoples lives as you go through the muck yourself? The answer is simple....Praise the Lord.....that's it....Praise the Lord....It says this over and over in the Psalms...for believers. This action, this choice, this decision, is yours alone. He is waiting for you to make the choice, so He can change your perspective, renew your mind, and show you the big picture. How simple is it to Praise the Lord? Simple...just tell Him how cool He is, How awesome He is to have choosen to give His son for you....How His grace is enough, how His mercy is never ending and how His faithfulness never stops flowing....then stop talking....listen and ponder His character and wait....Wait to see how your life begins to have hope, peace, joy and love....and yes...even in the muck. Pigs are happy in the muck! So how much more can we be with a God that loves us more than the pigs! God allows us into the muck in hopes that we will choose to Praise Him no matter how thick or deep it gets. The muck may change, but God never does. In fact, when we see Him from the muck, how much sweeter His grace and mercy become....So let's do it...Praise the Lord...for the muck and all.....PTL....

Ephesians 3:20

Every morning is a new morning.....every day is another chance to start all over again....putting the past behind you and becoming closer to God and who He wants you to be.....how then to do this.....Prayer and supplication, letting your requests be made known to God. For He is the Jehovah, the El Shaddi and so much more. He is not the distant God when it comes to me and you, he is the near God who cares. So who is this God? How do I get to know His character and love in my life? Step into His presence. Rest there awhile and listen to what He has for me. He wants to be my carrier, my master, my friend and my father. I just have to slow down and be with Him and Him alone.

Praise God that He is a patient God and waits for me and you to come to Him when we choose. Don't wait any longer, because what He has for us is much more than we could ever ask or think of.......

A new day

Today is a new day for me. I am in the middle of an incredibly difficult time in my life. I have tried to change it, control it, ignore it and walk away from it, but it seems I have only one option left. That is to walk through it. Will I be alone? I feel alone and rejected, but am I? I feel left out, pushed aside, but should I live on my feelings? God says "NO!" He is the One to hang on to when things are difficult, painful and full of suffering. Am I the one to say, "Enough!" Sure! Does He hear my prayer? Absolutely. But He is God and knows all things. He knows that He is completing His work in me and what that will take. So as He reaches down to me, I am choosing to take His hand and take care of my buisness, not anyone else's. I am done acting in accordance with my circumstances. He is asking me to rise above, not alone, but with Him. So here I go, again. Feeling like I am in the last seconds and that the game is almost over. Feeling like the losing team. And yet, who can be against me, when God is for me? Is that easy to believe? No. Do I doubt God? No. But I do ask "How?" How will He accomplish all that He has for me and my children in the midst of such pain and suffering, along with me being me. Today I choose to focus on Him, all that He has promised me and my children and go to sleep tonight knowing He is my God, my Father, and my Friend. My protector and my shield. He is the almighty God.
