In The Beginning

Greetings to all my sisters-in-Christ,

From the title you probably think that I am going way back, well not way, way back - but I am going back to the beginning. Beginning - yes it began with just a little thought that I should do this and off I went on my own little trail - I got ahead of myself and started to grow impatient with my journey. I have been anticipating the end - the final end. Well the final end is death and only He knows that day. A time of worshipping and seeking and I am back on track. My September Journey is about done and I have learned much during these last 26 days. I desire to see with the spiritual eyes that the Lord has given me. I desire to hear the WORD of the LORD. I desire to have a heart for JESUS. I desire to have my hunger and thirst satisfied with the Living Water and Bread of Life.

Abba Father, thank You Lord for Your New Mercies for Today. Lord I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ that she be so overwhelmed with Your Love for her that she falls prostrate before You and cries out in expectancy. Knowing that she has a GOD who is Sovereign, a Father who spoke and It Is, a LORD who whispers her name. May each dear sister-in-Christ remain complete with the blessed assurance that the Great I AM is Enough. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until Next Week,

Your dear friend and sister-in-Christ

Do You Ever Surprise Yourself?

Greetings,

I received an email from a dear sister-in-Christ which got me thinking about things in the past. The way it might have been...
Do you ever surprise yourself? Do you ever wonder if? Well I took way to much time dwelling on it to the point of becoming bothersome. A decision that is made, a statement that is expressed, or an action done can change the outcome. Do I continue to dwell on the what if or do I change my dealing with the "bothersome"? Which brings me back to the question, do you ever surprise yourself? I choose to take the bothersome and take it captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. Dwelling on that which is pure and lovely. My GOD is the most amazing and awesome God who took that which was meant for evil and made it GOOD. He is worthy of PRAISE and GLORY and HONOR.

Heavenly Father, Glorious and Righteous, our Strong Tower. Thank You that we are able to dwell in the secret place of the Most High and shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Lord I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ who is reading this today and who will read it in the future, may they dwell in the secret place of the Most High, may Your goodness and mercy fall into the cracks of their broken hearts, the bruised areas where they have been wounded, the empty places in their souls where dreams have died. Yes LORD You are our completeness in whatever has been, is here and will come. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,

Your dear friend and sister-in-Christ

September 12, 1986

Greetings my dear sisters-in-Christ,

Dates, some we want to forget and some we keep as reminders. Twenty-one years ago today, September 12 was one I will remember for it was the day that I walked away. Yes, I walked away from my husband, my children, my home, myself and my GOD. The world labeled it, my mind labeled it but God placed a Nathan in my life and showed me what it actually was. My Nathan was my daddy, his comment was, "You can't stay here forever you are going to have to face it when you get out." It was at that point that I began to hear and see. I REPENTED. The numbness went away, I awoke to feelings. I started to become a needy person. I needed help, I needed acceptance and I needed to know that I was loved for the wretch that I was. September 12 is a date I remember for it was on that date that I began to learn how to love and how to be loved. I fell in love with my husband, my children (there are 7 more grandchildren to love), my home, myself, and MY LORD. I'm a needy person - I need Abba Father, constantly and continually to keep me on the right path. Psalm 119:105 "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."

Abba Father, thank you for Your Heavenly Hugs, Your embracing Presence in our lives. LORD I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ this day and this week. May Your tender mercies which are new every morning be evident in their lives. That it would show on their faces and flow out from their hearts and their mouths words of kindness to a world which has become numb. Lord may Your Power embrace them and may they be filled up to overflowing with Your JOY, HOPE, and LOVE. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,

A Change is in the Air

Greetings to my dear friends and sisters-in-Christ.

Jesus told the disciples to get into the boat and go to the other side. They did this part without questioning. Of course if Jesus says to get into the boat and go to the other side it will be smooth sailing. Today - I am getting into the boat and knowing that Jesus has said that I am to go ahead of him to the other side.

Heavenly Father, our Compassionate and Gracious Lord, thank You for leading us in the direction You have planned and purposed for our lives. I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ who has entered into the boat, who heard Your command to go ahead of You to the other side. Holy Spirit I pray for remembrance to come to the minds of these precious sisters-in-Christ of Your goodness and kindness. I pray that each one would see that it is the entering into that boat is when Faith in You began. Lord come and reveal Yourself to these precious children - may their faith be increased by the storms. May they WORSHIP You this day and REJOICE in knowing that You, oh most Sovereign LORD have said it and You are a FAITHFUL and COMPASSIONATE GOD. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,

Your dear friend and sister-in-Christ.
