A new day and A new way

I am finding that approaching certain persons to inquire of their faith can be very simple. Without complications just casual conversation can lead to sharing JESUS with those who may not know him or those who have just not made the committment to make him first in their lives. I have had so many times to do this recently and it has opened up many doors. The funniest thing has been sharing JESUS then you hit your hand with a hammer or slam your fingers in a door and the word shit instantly comes out  of your mouth to be greeted with I thought you were a good christian woman with a chuckle to let them know because I said shit does not change my love for JESUS or his love for me. Can I come up higher and find a new word of course yet this has opened up new life for these kids.. Thank you Lord that you can use even my shortcomings to Glorify you.....

Mine eyes are open

When I awake at 3am I am always a little apprehensive about why the Lord has chosen for me to not still be sleeping. Who is it he wants me to pray for ? What are there needs ?  Is it one of my kids ? There have been so many times in my past that this would annoy me, for some reason I now find it so peaceful to turn on the channel that has beautiful pics and scripture.. Well whoever you are and whatever your needs may be god is in control and eah step has already been planned i ask only thay you allow the spirit to move on your behalf and that you seek the Lord with all your mind soul and strength..may peace flow like a river and Gods healing hand comfort you.In the Mighty Name of JESUS AMEN....

Proverbs 3:24 When you lie down you will not be afraid, when you lie down your sleep will be sweet.

Can You !!!

Can you go thru a day and make no mistakes ?
Can you no matter your surroundings rise above unwavering ?
Can you Love no matter what ?
Can you forgive even when the offense still stings ?
Can you be kind to those who use you ?
Can you be gentle in the toughest situations ?
Can you ?
I cannot !
Jesus can thru me ...
Thank you Lord for coming into my heart and changing me for every situation for every victory and for every loss...

Carry On

I remember this song so vividly from my younger years
Days seem to come so swiftly and missed opportunity is everywhere
What is the measure
Why can I not be bold
Lord I hear you
May I be able to give an answer
The needs surround us and seem to swallow us up
I cannot meet them
Yet I know the one who can
Stepping out of the comfort zone right now seems difficult
I lift mine eyes to the hills for where does my help come from ?
My help comes from the Lord...
I prayed to be used and it's arrival has been met with the fear of rejection.
I will come boldly to the throne even if I am wavering in the boldness...

Carry on...

If only I could take back all the stupid or insensitive words I had ever spoken I would do it in a heartbeat
Sticks and stones is so untrue.
I don't have any excuse or need anyone else to make excuses for my tongue.
Think  on these things.
Whatever is true.
whatever is lovely.
Forgive and Forget.

Still small voice and a second chance

I knew I would pray for a friend this week.
The intent was Thursday was a big decision day in her life.
Monday however was the day she needed the prayers the most.
A shower.
A sharp knife.
Many stitches.
An ER visit.
An admittance to behavioral health.
I knew she wanted out yet had no idea how badly.
I thought I offered good advice.
I did not share all I should have
I prayed on Thursday and sent messages on Tuesday.
The Good News I held back
 I was waiting in fear of rejection.
God has graciously given her and I a second chance
I will not waiver, I will do it afraid or not in total confidence but it Will be Done...

Friends

What are they ?
Do they acknowledge you only at church or in chance meetings.
Do they call for no reason or invite you to be part of their lifes activities.
Do they support and encourage you no matter what ?
If you told them your deep dark secrets  would they turn there back on you ?
Do they judge in ignorance ?
Do they act like your friend only if you run into each other or do they take the time to let you know they care even when lives go in differant directions.
Do they leave you out of dinner parties and concerts cuz your just not on the list of the most prominent and influential.
Do they judge you by the clothes you wear  or the kind of car you drive or maybe the size of your home or wallet.
What are they ?
