Jul. 6, 2007 - ~* One Woman Making a Difference to Many *~

Watch this amazing video at A Flyover Blog 

  What an important reminder to offer what we have...and that what we have can be multiplied and blessed beyond our wildest imaginings.  Remember the little boy with the loaves and fishes?  Remember after that little lunch was placed in Jesus' hands how the multitudes were fed and how much was left over?

What's in your hand?

Jun. 16, 2007 - ~* Reality Check *~

"Reality is what God says it is, not what we think it is."

The Israelites thought reality was death by drowning in the Red Sea, which was before them, or death by Pharoah's army riding swiftly up behind them.  God's reality was a dry path of deliverance through the Red Sea and the death of their enemies in the Red Sea.

The little woman thought reality was a life with no husband and now her only son - dead.  Reality was
her son being raised up and given back to her.

"Reality is what GOD says it is, not what we think it is."

" Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3

Jun. 15, 2007 - ~* What is Most Important*~

Heather has an amazing post (most of hers are!) that brings  focus back into a world that is often blurred by non-important stuff.
It's something I needed, something I'm really chewing on today.  Read LEGACY.

Jun. 1, 2007 - ~* Promises to Cling to...*~

Here are some encouraging words and promises I am clinging to right now:

"...The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.
The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth."
Ps. 145: 13b, 14, 18

"The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love."
Ps. 147: 11

"The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17

"...I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4: 12b-13

What promises are you claiming?

May. 30, 2007 - ~* Well....I did it!....And it wasn't just my template that was changed... *~

It was soooo hard to do, but the time had come.  I uploaded a new template, which of course, meant losing all my personalizations from the last template.  I had finally gotten my template to where I loved it....there was just one problem, more and more visitors complained they couldn't read all of my posts. Something I'd added seemed to have overridden my actual posting space.

It's funny, but the Lord really spoke to me this morning through this little template change-up.  Let me give you a bit of background:  I like security...I'm not fond of change, unless my mind, emotions, heart have all had time to think it through, absorb it, and accept it.
 The last four years of our lives have been total upheaval and change, and very little of those changes or that upheaval was in my control.  How I've battled and struggled.  How I've cried.  But then, the tears became tears of anger.  I began to withdraw from the Lord because He hadn't protected us from the hurt and disappointment, when all we've ever wanted all of our lives, was to please Him and serve Him (I don't like how that sounds, but it is how I felt).  I wondered how he could allow us to go through such a yo-yo experience day in and day out.
Then, slowly, through friends (some IRL, some ol friends that I may never meet in person until Heaven), I felt myself being lifted to the throne of grace, even when I couldn't quite bring myself there.  I began to hear the music again and it began to minister healing to me.
No, I haven't fully recovered, it's been a slow journey...one that I'm still traveling.   but today I began to understand, that maybe I'm not supposed to "fully recover".
Maybe, just like my old template,  just maybe we were adding too many items, even if unknowingly, into our lives.  Items that were actually, somehow interfering with the message that our lives were created to share.  Maybe He needed to break the old template and give us a fresh uncluttered one.
And just like I'll add my little flourishes here and there, while trying to avoid interfering with my actual posts, just maybe He's going to do that to us.  Maybe once His message starts shining through again, He'll begin to add in little flourishes bit by bit....as long as they don't interfere with the postings He wants written on our hearts.
