Thank you Jesus!!!!


Thank you Jesus for change, change of attitudes, situations, people, lives, surroundings, careers, families, friends, hearts, and change itself. Last night you Lord asked me to pray about something to change me. I know that you want me to rush to your feet and lift others to you. I want to not let my flesh get in the way like it does at times, Help me to be quick, to be faster at running to your feet and laying it all down, AGAIN! Thank you that even in those places you meet us. Thank you that no matter what I do nothing can separate me from your love. Thank you so much. Thank you for speaking to me when I need an attitude adjustment and thank you that you reveal things to me that are what I need to hear at that particular time. Thank you for loving me through it all. Thank you for showing me that you have me here, "For such a time as this." Esther 4:14 Thank you Jesus, Thank you for molding me, even as a young girl, and making me with the people that you have made my lifetime friends. I know that you have used every situation and thing in my life to make my testimony better. I know that no matter what every second of it was worth it. Thank you Lord for the Laughs and Heartache, the joy and the tears, the taking pleasure in others and the pain they cause as well. Thank you that you are still Sovereign and that nothing that happens in my life hasn't passed through your hands first. Thank you for that filter. Thank you that even when I don't feel like praising you, you allow me to choose it and command that of my soul. Thank you that today I have the opportunity again to choose to worship you with all of me. Jesus I just want you to be my source of everything so that I may be a blessing to others, to pour out what you pour into me. I want to be that pitcher that is filled with only you Lord and just be the vessel that it is poured from, I want to make myself available to you. I want you to use me and let only you be see. Please Lord, make me invisible. I want only you to be seen in and through every fabric of my life. I know I see it but please allow others to only see that. Just like when you are wanting water and you pour it out of a pitcher, you don't honor the pitcher that it was poured out of you are only concerned with getting the water that is in it. Lord I know that may not be clear but please know that I am so grateful this life isn't about me. Thank you that my life is only about you. Please help me live that way and show others how to as well. Thank you for the opportunity that you have given to me to love you and love others. Thank you that today is new and that you have new things for me. Thank you that no matter what you are my life source in everything. Thank you that I can come to you with any situation and you give me direction. Thank you that you change my heart all the time. Thank you that you love me just as I am and that you created me to be me. Thank you for dying for my sins and that I get to spend eternity with you. Thank you for everything and thank you that tomorrow will be even better. Thank you Jesus and I love you!

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Image
Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be,

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie. We run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction.
