Speak Lord For Your Servant Is Listening!!

Last night the tears came!  I know  God is truly leading, molding, and guiding me.  The church is going thru changes and will be stepping out to those areas of necessary risks!  Speak to me Lord as I know you love us!  Colossians 1:17 tells me that You are before all things and by You all things are held together.  Roar , Lion of Judah for we need to hear you !!

Necessary Risk

I have come to realize that it is certainly time to risk stepping out with the necessary!!  I have access to the most powerful weapon know to me--God's Word.  My world is changing and is unsettling at times.  I feel bound to do all that I can do to reach out.  While my world is changing, my soul is at peace.  There are many that are qualified to reach out and do not for one reason or another!!  My place in the shadows is becoming very fruitful. I am sensing God all around me helping me to grow.  A risk can be unsettling in its own; but, with God leading and giving me direction, I feel a risk in my horizon.  The shadows gave Paul his urging to grow and learn.  Shadows aren't all bad!!  Ready to DIVE!!!!!

Becoming More Than Myself!!

I began reading Not A Fan by Kyle Idleman recently.  My bible reading this morning was in John 14.  I am intrigued by verse 11 in this chapter.  The Message by Eugene Peterson translates this verse:  What I am saying is, If you walk around with your nose in he air going to end up flat on your face.  BUT IF YOU ARE CONTENT TO BE SIMPLY YOURSELF, YOU WILL BECOME MORE THAN YOURSELF!!

God's word never ceases to amaze me or shed more light than this  morning!  I dont have to be or become anything supernatural.  I only have to be what God created me to be!  God's plan for me is unfolding every minute of my life.  God created me for something  and He is very gracious never to unfold but what He wants me to see or learn at the appointed time He sends it.  I am just one person who tries to read between the lines and interpret what is happening.  Ugh, I will not anymore!  My prayer is that I learn more and go deeper still in His word.

A fan is not what I want to be !  A totally committed follower is the desire of my transformation!!  Stay tuned for more seams to be sewn.

Ride Of My Life

I am seeing so many things change in the last few weeks.  I have a feeling God is beginning to reveal some of His plan for me.  I am equating this to a thrill ride at a fun park.  I am thrilled to be on this ride.  Knowing that the best for me is in His plans makes this certainly a ride I want to be on.  Imagine being on a thrill ride and being scared out of your wits!!  This journey is so different!  Staying and studying the Word has reinforced and taught me many new things.  The one thing that I know is :  I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT GOD HAS MY BEST IN MIND!!    On to the next ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Procrastination :(

As you can tell by this title, I am a procrastinator.  It is one of my worst habits and I hate it.  I agreed awhile back to do some sewing for a friend.  Well it has been brought to my attention by God that this is a sin!  Ouch and did this ever step on my toes.  


I have laid open my heart and the seams of my life to Him.  Nothing has been left hidden.  A process has begun to go even deeper in Him.  My life has a specific purpose created by my Heavenly Father and know only to Him at this time.  I have never known such peace and strength ever in my life.  Of course, I am still unraveling, at times, and picking up the pieces!  My motto is now:  FALL DOWN BEFORE I GET UP.  I have fallen too many times without first consulting my Father.  I came upon a verse this morning that will become a treasure to memorize.


Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.           Hebrews 12:1


Any of you that sew will know you have a royal mess if spools of thread ever become tangled!  When a seam is properly sewn with proper tension, the seam will hold very nicely.  The right equipment, lighting, and supplies are essential. 


I have sewn since I was a little girl watching my mother, the expert.  Oh the words I would long to tell my mother, if she were still with me.  I have learned now before beginning any project to fall down before I get up, go through the patterns, gather supplies and FINISH.  A project begun will get finished if I follow my path!!


My path has a light that will never go dim and keep me aligned to my specific purpose!!
