One Speed

Care taking mom 

is challenging me 
to plan our comings and goings 

a little more carefully

You see Mom has one speed 

Constant and S L O W     

You could write a tune to the click of her cane it is so on beat!

The Scripture says that God is faithful....

He does not change...

He is constant and timely  

Today Mom turns 96   

I praise God that she has been a true example of consistency  

As you listen to this song 

please pray a blessing over her life!

You've prayed

You've cried

You've believed

You've stayed in the Word

You've listened

You've quieted yourself

there is NOTHING else to do!!

AND WATCH FOR THE LORD TO MOVE

Years ago, when I found out that i was pregnant with my 4th child, I wanted to go into hiding. My oldest was 3, another 2 and the youngest was 3 months....I knew that the comments would fly!

4 years earlier i had answered the call to "trust The Lord for my children"...I had dutifully thrown away the pills and gotten pregnant immediately.  But it seemed that as soon as a baby was born it would be only a matter of months and another was on his or her way.

When I was about 5 months along with Emmalie ( whose birthday is tomorrow) I had a day  of "chatting with The Lord" .  It was a day like no other as we talked back and forth.  I remember it as He reminded me that "I had not planned my children BUT HE had had them planned since before the beginning of time.  He knew their names and their number"

He then began to methodically ask me questions like.; " have your pregnancies been good". Have the babies been healthy?  Had we ever gone without a need being met?"  Over and over I had to agree with His faithfulness.   Then He said.."I have tried to bless you but you have let others steal the blessing away by listening and being concerned about what they think or will say"

That stopped me in my tracks!  I had been blaming the "talkers" for my stress and embarrassment when here I was being told that it WAS ME!!  I was letting them own space in my life..steal my blessing!  I had no one to blame but myself!

I remember kneeling on that ratty old kitchen floor and asking for forgiveness.  Immediately I was free!  The burden lifted, my nerves went back under my skin, my antennae disappeared  and my emotions came back in line with the Throne!
I wish I could say I never struggled again but that would not be true!  But I can say I never struggled the same again .  I would quickly run to The Lord as soon as I would catch myself thinking outside of His truths.  His Promises are yes and amen and He never fails!!

Trust Him ~. Won't you?

It Will Cost You

Cell phone bills used to list "roaming charges"...

those charges added to your bill when 

you are making a call outside of your calling area.

I believe that Christians can get Roaming Charges as well.  

When we take a short cut,  a side trip,  

a vacation, and or an excursion...

when  we step out of His care ~ 

we pay the price.    

Prayerfully we only need to spend 

some time on our knees to get back our footing 

but too often 

the consequences of Roaming are very steep;   

unwanted pregnancy, 

illness, 

no education, 

broken relationships 

etc etc etc.

 STAY CLOSE

DO NOT ROAM!!

LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT!

"Safe in the arms of Jesus"

What Would We Do?

without the Lord??

Listen to the choir and sing it OVER AND OVER 

until you are standing in the place 

of 

faith and protection!

Friends

"Thou oh Lord art a Shield about me 

You're the Glory and the Lifter of my head"

HE is the only one that we can trust
HE is the only one who will never forsake us 
or let us down
HE WILL take care of us and bring us through

Proverbs 2

Psalm 3
Read the Word and 
decide today 
to renew your trust and faith 
in Him

Waging the War

The Lord says HE wants to fight our battles

Exodus 14:14

Deut. 20:4

Ps. 35

When the battle wages we SO OFTEN want to "put up our dukes"

We want to be involved.

When we are at war we are most vulnerable.  

Remember 2 Corinthians 10:3   

"We don't fight war as the world does"

Eph. 6:12

This is the time to Hide in Him ~ friends!   

RUN TO HIM

Bask in His care, covering and mercy.   

Stay out of the ring!!

Many times we feel the need to speak "righteousness" 

into the situation.   

This may be personally or on a social media of some sort~ 

hoping that others will hear   

that they will be convinced ~ 

(we can't believe that others are not seeing what we are)

when all that really is happening 

is that we are muddying the waters...

stirring things up.

Believe me you will be splashed on.

Brother ~  Sister ~

Please get out of God's Way

You can trust Him

This is the place of perseverance and maturing

So that you will be made complete lacking nothing 

James 1

Silence yourself and Listen

He will guide you

He will tell you what to do

and what NOT to do

again

HE IS FAITHFUL TO HIS CHILDREN!

Mom ~ on a Roll

At the end of our ladies prayer meeting today mom spoke out:

"There is a place of quiet rest 
near to the heart of God
A place where sin cannot molest 
near to the heart of God."

"Just because it's Tuesday is not why we come running.  We come because we CAN!  He's here!!  
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday....this seat is all warmed for me...I took it before anyone else could get it!  
God is so good!!   Near...Here... and Dear"

Well there you go ~ a complete sermon in a few words.
