I'm testing out the new format and colors of text.

Impossible!

You know I recently endured a situation that I thought there honestly wasn't a win situation to. I thought that either side would never be happy. It was totally out of my control, and I have to admit I hated every minute of it. Was it a horrible circumstance? No, but it did try my faith.

I had decided I would leave it in God's hands. He was bigger, and He could handle it. When I found that I couldn't sleep. I would pray about it, and leave it at his feet. I wanted to do what was right, not what I was being pressured into.

I am thankful that God heard my prayer. He is indeed bigger than any storm we face. He did calm the sea some 2000 years ago. He did talk out of a burning bush. He did heal the leaper. He made the blind to see. The lame man walked again. It's all because of a loving God.

I'm not going to lie about it. It was hard to leave it at the feet of Jesus. I had to say I'm sorry a few times. I found I was hashing out what I was going to do. I didn't want to do that, just human nature.

In closing I wanted to share a scripture that has been ringing in my mind.

">Luke 1:37

God is good, and He still does the impossible today. We just need to have the faith!

A Strong Tower?

You know, tonight I am humbled by a friends blog. She quotes Psalm 61, and I thought man I really messed up tonight!

God is our strong tower, and we can indeed still today, take shelter under His wings.

You know, a circumstance came up this evening, that I wasn't prepared for. I guess, it was coming I just always think the best of people, and always take people's word. In today's time, sadly, that isn't always the wisest.

So the situation came and the battle has begun, and instead of asking for God's help, little ole me can handle it. I soon found, that I should have prayed about this from the start! Honestly, I think it's human to forget to ask for God's guidance and direction ... but that doesn't make it right!

Now, things may not be easy, but I could have had God's strength to endure, and His peace that passes all understanding (instead of why am I doing this ..., is it really worth it attitude). His way

Taken from Psalm 61:

3 For You have been a shelter for me,

A strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;

I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

My greatest desire is to have a deeper walk with Christ. Here's the start. Resting in the Shadow of the Almighty.

Thanks A Child of the King! For reminding me of this principle in God's word!

He's in the Midst

You know an old yet familiar scripture, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them." Matthew 18:19-21

This scripture has proven true time and time again. Today, once again, it proved to be true.

I'm so glad to be a part of a ministry to help people with whatever life deals them. Celebrate Recovery. It has something for everyone.

With all that being said:

Tonight I met with a group of 8 people. 8 people that love the Lord. 8 people that want to help people live their lives to the glory of God., and help them over come with God's grace whatever problems they are facing.

We worshipped together and had a little study, and the best part was God's presence was there. It filled the little room. The music minister sang a few songs, and we had a guest who played his guitar along with us. Just the presence that filled that room.

I, for one, needed to feel that comforting Holy Spirit say, "I'm here." You know, "Shh, be still."

The words of the songs stood out, and some of them we even sang this morning! I got absolutely nothing out of them then! The same song tonight and it seemed to speak novels to me.

I'm so thankful we serve a God who isn't dead. He is still in the healing business. He still comforts. He still brings peace. He still strengthens. He still is Love.

I just wanted to share, on an off note tonight about how thankful I am for God's love. He loved us enough to send His one and only Son to die on that cruel cross for us so that we will never be separated from Him.

Where two or three are gathered ...

He's here. He wants to speak to Your heart. Will you open the door? Let Him in and let Him do all of the wonderful things He has in store for you?

Thank you, Jesus.
