Rain


I've got the sweet victory in Jesus! Today it is raining and I am here thinking about all the things that I am facing in the next few days. I know that God is moving and I know that God is bigger than the storm I am facing today. He says to me to keep my eyes on Him and allow the waves to crash around me and to remain faithful in all he asks of me. Thank you Jesus that you choose to even talk to me. Thank you that you are moving and shaking things today. There is something different about today and I know that His mighty power is going to change things for me so that I don't have to worry about anything but Loving my King. I just need to keep focused on the fact that I am here and I am walking to my victory. We are victorious as we walk through these things in our lives that show us who we really are. I just want to come out as pure Gold! I want God to see that I will be faithful to the end. I Thank you Lord that I am able to stand here today and look back and see that you have brought us through so much to get us to this point and move us on. Thank you that You desire to show us how amazing you are and all we have to do is let others know how these things in our lives have come. BY YOU and YOU alone! Thank you for the amazing testimony that we will all get to share with others so that you can bring them into the fold. Thank you Jesus that you came to this earth as a baby to save us all from Hell. Thank you that in this Christmas season you are still moving and shaking up this earth. Thank you that we can learn how to humbly move in this world because we have the BEST example of that. Thank you that no matter way YOU are making things work out for our good. Thank you that no matter what we see, we listen to what your heart speaks to us. Thank you for the ability to know your heart for me. Thank you that you are giving me insight to things so that I can better pray for others. THank you Lord that you choose to love us so that we can love you right back. Thank you for your faithfulness, many blessings, friends, family, and material things. Thank you that the only way to see your heart sometimes is to seek it out in others. Thank you that ONLY YOU complete us fully. I love you Father for your many blessings. Thank you for loving me enough to give me what you have and desire to pour out more. Thank you Jesus that TODAY you have opened the flood gates of Heaven and began to change things in all of our lives.

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....
