For Pete Sake's It Is Never Too Late

Sometimes I feel like boy, I just can't get being a Christian. And more often than not I find myself thinking: " What is it that I can do, to get my life right. And for Pete Sake's why is it that it seems I get stuck doing those nasty things I hate in myself."

( Answer) There is absolutely nothing that I can do that would make God love me anything else. " How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!!!!" 1John 3:1

There are times I wonder if that nasty infected sin that has devowered me will go away. And then the truth comes. Like a wave the truth washes over all lies and untruths and shines a bright light on the things in the darkness. God reveils to us not only the truth but it exposes the lies. And as one of my major resources that I have in my home I open it, and in God word it states that knowing the truth. the truth will set you free. Amen to that!

So I quess it is not imparitive that one exactly knows why they do what they do, but turn 360 degrees in the other direction. Exposing all the lies that surrond that area in one's life, repent, ask for forgiveness, then know with all the love that God showers on you THAT YOU ARE FORGIVEN.

This is been one journey in my life. I am so walking this out still. And will continue too until the Lord comes to get us. For Pete Sake's It Is Never Too Late, for you my friend. You can, do it. Believe it and it will happen.

My Faithful Friday

( I want to start faithful Friday. This is what it means to me. Being faithful as we all know is a huge part of a Christian walk. We are called to be faithful in everything we do. Please do not hear this as perfection, because we do not need to be perfect....just faithful. I'll show you what I mean....)

Today Lord help me walk in faith. That I leave this day unto you Lord.

I Stand and Glorify you today....

Help me to be faithful in getting my cleaning done.

I will faithfully memorize one scripture today.

I will faithfully show someone grace and mercy today

I will believe, and walk out in my faith, in those areas where I struggle today.

I will love my children faithfully today, no matter how many fights I may have to break up, no matter what

This is my first faithful list. And I believe in knowing I will be faithful today in these areas will give me something to say: I walked in being faithful in the small things Lord, help me to be faithful in the big things.

I have something profound to say............

GOD IS LOVE...HE LOVES US ALL.

TODAY, IF YOU FEEL YOURSELF STRUGGLING...WANTING TO COMPLAIN. REMEMBER GOD LOVES YOU AND WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS TIME. HE ALONE CAN HELP YOU....HE ALONE CAN COMFORT YOU.

TAKE REFUGE IN YOUR SAVIOUR, AND REMEMBER WITH EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON. THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

I SO LOVE YOU ALL,
EACH ONE OF YOU WHO COME, READ AND LEARN.

BLESSINGS TODAY!!

VICTORY

Don't you feel like jumping in? Want to be refreshed? Jump in then, to God's word. Trust me the word of God feels fresher than jumping into the water on a hot summer's day. It can refresh you, answer those deep down questions, it reveils the truth to sustain you. Trust me, if you don't have a bible...........get on today!

I have been on a journey of healing this last couple of months. And I want to share just one victory that I have had...to prove that God is who he says he is. I have been working with one amazing loving couple, over the last little bit. They, I believe, truly demonstate the love the Lord has for me. Anyways, when I was 5 I was sexual abused by a babysitter that I had. He raped me, laughed in my face and left. And I never, and I mean never told anyone for sixteen years. Then one day in lifestyle class in highschool I had my first melt down. After that I went to see a therepist which was an eye opening experience. I had to tell my parents...and that was the hardest thing I had to do...even after years. I was afraid of hurting them, disipointing them. And sure enough they we upset, but not in the way I thought. They cried for me, reached out for me, and loved me.

This burdened I carried for 23 years. I was reliving it over and over again. Until, Ron stepped up and reached into my heart. He reveiled the truth in that circumstance. We renounced the devil and he ran.......terrified and was about to happen. God stepped in and healed that hurt...so much so my physical body felt it all over. And today I can say strongly that I have victory over those lies that the devil stated to me about this circumstance. Complete and totally victory. I no longer live it day to day, and in fact I can't even try to remember that which happened to me. God will not allow it, and trust me I tried to make sure that it was for real..And it was, totally completely.

There is something amazing about walking through something hard. God meets us....joins us...and covers us. After this experience I was totally drunk in the Spirit, which was another sign that God had completely removed this from my life.

So be enriched, encouraged, excited because God can and is waiting to give each one of us victory in our lives. Whatever that is, he is waiting for you, to be broken so he can restore you. He loves you all, be richly blessed!

Sometimes, things need to be done one step at a time.... one foot forward, and one foot back. And eventually we will get where God wants us to go.

I had an extremely peaceful weekend...yeah gotta love that peace. I have grown in areas I never thought I would grow. And my eyes are wide open to the areas that still need growth.
" For you are God, O Sovereign Lord. Your words are truth, and you have promised these good things to your servant." 2 Samuel 7: 28

So I need to ask for accountability. I am feeling the tug of my heart in one specific area in my life... and I know that I could ask for people who are around me, and I will, but I want to extend my hand to those lovely Christian women who I am getting to know. I am going to join Weight Watchers, again, and I am asking that those who feel lead to hold me accountable to this weight loss journey, do. I have been examining my heart over the last month in prep for this soon to be challenge. I have been listening to God's inner voice. And least to say that he wants me to be radically transformed. To solely depend on Him for every word, breathe, and life. But I need to cleanse myself of the things that I have been placing into my temple. To honor, respect, love, and cherish this earthly vessel that I have been given.

So if you feel that you would love to join me in this personal journey, feel free. There is no pressure, at all. I thank each one of you who have come into my life, I am truly grateful.
