Far from perfect, many battle scars are showing... but if the light of Jesus shines through them, we have lived our purpose. Our desire is to point each one that crosses our path to Him, The One for whom we live our life.

Is anything to hard for God?
I want to share my
heart with you as if it is the last opportunity to do so.
I’m not trained; do not come from a manicured or Bible School
back ground.
According to statistics I should be divorced,
Remarried,
On drugs,
Or in prison!!
I gave the devil lots of ammunition to use on me,
Some of what you may
know of my background is probably true,
The rest I assure you have not a clue to the reality of how
far and into what pit I allowed Satan to take me.
But I no longer live
in the pit amongst the swine;
I know who I am,
Where I am at,
And where I am
going!!
I am a daughter of the most high God,
Blood bought through the saving,
Sanctifying and keeping power of His Son Jesus Christ my Lord.
My past is erased,
My present redeemed,
My future secure!!
The potter who is making my clay has made no mistakes,
He took the broken pieces I came to Him with and He melted
me down to nothing, and started over again.
Lovingly He has pulled, pushed, scraped, smashed and
stretched me,
Put me through the fire over and over again,
And when I thought I could not stand the heat one more
moment,
He pulls me out for a
little while to rest and works on polishing the cracks that sin created by my
own doing.
He lovingly shapes me
into the design He had for me from before the foundations of the world were
formed.
He keeps His hand over me at all times,
The pressure of that can get intense
But as He applies
that pressure to my hemorrhaging heart I can feel healing taking place.
Once a wound is
healed it is stronger yet leaves an ugly scar…
But because of the marvelous works of this Great Physician,
the ugliness of the
scar is overshadowed by the beauty that shines through those cracks.
It is not me,
It is HIM!!
His Holy Spirit
shining through,
His love,
Peace,
Joy,
Contentment,
Surrendered dreams,
Changed desires,
And so many blessings to contain they are spilling over the
brim of my life.
This is where YOU come in!!!
I want to pour out all of this as a praise offering to
Jesus,
and I need you to bring yours to the same pool of healing waters,
and together we can pour into our families, friends and churches.
and I need you to bring yours to the same pool of healing waters,
and together we can pour into our families, friends and churches.
I long to empty myself out before the Lord for His glory,
His Kingdom,
This life is not our
own we have been bought with a price no one else could ever match.
My passion, desire and burden are for the ones like me,
That think they are a hopeless case…
No use, no hope, so
broken and ugly, so shattered to ever be put back together again.
“I want to love them like Jesus and carry them to Him” (CC)
The Great Healer!!!
Be willing, humbled, determined, to keep that stake in the
ground.
SATAN, WE ARE NOT FOR
SALE, I am
claiming this through the power of Jesus!!
I am sick and tired of being a punching bag to the enemy;
I am tired of not
taking God at His word for what it says,
and allowing the enemy to get a good jab at me.
and allowing the enemy to get a good jab at me.
I will not stand by
any longer and continue to watch those around me become casualties of this war
we are in.
It is time us as God’s people rise up
and suit up
and put on the full armor of God.
and suit up
and put on the full armor of God.
Realize who our Commander and Chief is!!!
GOD ALMIGHTY who is
sitting on HIS throne!!!
Who has ALL power to
give to us through His Holy Spirit!!!
We already know who wins this thing why don’t we FIGHT like
it???
It is time to put up or shut up, the line is drawn;
There are only two sides to this thing
PICK one and STAY ON IT.
PICK one and STAY ON IT.
It isn’t about if you
believe in sprinkling, dipping, or dunking…
It isn’t about how
high the bun is,
how low the dress is, how high the neck line..
how low the dress is, how high the neck line..
If we are suited up according to God’s word all those things
are already in place.
Are we going to continue to sit and sniffle
like little school girls on the side lines because
he said,
like little school girls on the side lines because
he said,
She said,
No one knows who said,
And loose your family
and friends to the enemy?
If we got as fired up about the work of the Lord like we do
what fox news has to say,
what on earth would be happening right now in our homes and churches?
what on earth would be happening right now in our homes and churches?
If we got our face
off the book and IN the book,
Got back to living
the way we should,
Where right was
right,
wrong was wrong,
and there were no middle grounds up for discussion!!
wrong was wrong,
and there were no middle grounds up for discussion!!
What would that look
like to this generation?
Look I am not talking
at you;
I am talking to myself,
I am talking to myself,
I am praying the Lord
helps me
to step up and step in the gap,
make up the hedge,
roll up my sleeves and GET TO WORK.
to step up and step in the gap,
make up the hedge,
roll up my sleeves and GET TO WORK.
What happened to “No turning back”?
All bridges burned behind and beside me
looking only to the narrow one that is straight ahead.
looking only to the narrow one that is straight ahead.
Yes at times it looks dark, at times painful,
But oh the joy and peace that floods my soul
to know I am on the winning side.
to know I am on the winning side.
My Savior goes before me,
beside me,
behind me,
and under me
to give me strength to walk this thing out to the end.
beside me,
behind me,
and under me
to give me strength to walk this thing out to the end.
There is a song that says
“ Every step I take
is a step of faith,
when I can’t see what’s in front of me I walk on and just believe,
that He hears my prayers and when I get there,
the miracles promised by my Father will be waiting in the water”
Glory to God!!

Glory to God!!
It’s almost morning,
those Eastern skies are going to burst wide open and it will be worth it all!!!
those Eastern skies are going to burst wide open and it will be worth it all!!!
I think of Sis. Judy Williams preaching “KEEP THE LIGHT ON”
and
Bro. James Plank “HOLD THE LINES- the little things really DO matter.
They mean the difference between Heaven and Hell.”

They mean the difference between Heaven and Hell.”
So my sister lets Push on,
Hold on, Walk on,
Pray on,
Stand on His word and His promises.
They will NEVER fail!!!
Please excuse the grammatical errors as I just wrote and
left it.
Maybe I will get a
chance to go back over it and correct it. Not to worried about that right now =)

Is anything to hard for God?
Another sleepless night.... so much on my mind.... so much to be done....
BUT
For some reason it does not feel as important to me right now. With this new season of life that is slowly setting in, I find myself reflecting, anticipating, meditating, and pondering.
I guess to some degree I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, as I know most of you are with your own stuff. I am feeling.... STILL... the kind of " Be still and know HE is God" Still...
Ever feel that way?
I know HE is God, I just can not put my finger on what is exactly going on, but it is there. Maybe because this new season is bringing COMPLETE change... but change we have known was coming for a LONG time.. Change that is good, and exciting.... BUT it is here.. and I do not feel prepared, equipped, or ready like I think I should be...
YET I know, GOD does the equipping to what He calls us too... I love that.
This makes no sense.... but perfect sense at the same time..
I hear a really good Bible Study calling my name... I ended one a few weeks ago, and I feel the need, the call, the desire, to get into this next one.
I love being in the throngs of a good Bible Study. Learning, searching, growing, and working this daily walk thing out with my Father and Savior.
One thing I am sure of and am so thankful for is...
NOTHING is to hard for my GOD, and HE is in control, and I do not have to worry about driving............ Just stay in the car and read the map....
God is good...
Trust all has a Blessed week.
Please pray for our family, several unspoken prayer requests.
