Please CLICK THE BABY PICTURE, read her story and pray for her...Her parents have asked everyone to pray .
God is ever so kind ever so good and I love Him to pieces.
I had a major *fall out* and honestly thought no way could I begin again but you know what? That is not the case. With God He waits for us with open arms as we repent and respond to His love.
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
I have been informed that my favourite site is back up and running , it is a totally Christian program to help those like me get rid of those extra pounds or in my case stones!! with God’s help. Take a look at Thin Within
I have also created a new blog in addition to this one to help me journal my journey…Visit me at Thin4Him
Well, do havea blessed day and enjoy the goodness of God…
The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in You
With all I am I’ll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You’d let Your will be done
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in You
I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You
You are a voice that called the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I’ll trust in you
You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name
This has been one of my favourite songs we sing in Celebrate Recovery.
God is KING and LORD over all the earth…we just need to remeber that He alos wants to be Lord of our lives at all times.
Had a wonderful day today, spent my afternoon with a very special woman of God…My Pastors wife. She is a loving, sacrificing and giving woman who desires to see women mature and grow in the things of God and reach their destiny in Him.
We shared, we prayed, we laughed and most of all we had fellowship that was encouraging and inspring because the spirit of God dwelt among us..Thank You Lord for a wonderful day…and everything that has happened in it.
You Know when times are hard and you really struggle to make sense of the situation? well, turn up the volume and Praise God…there is NOTHING like worshipping God, nothing can compare with it…
There is No drug, no fix, no nothing that can give you a buzz like praising Jesus!!
We had an awesome worship service at church last night!! God is doing such great and mighty things amongst His people!
As it was good Friday, Pastor broke tradition, if you like, and chose to share some of what God has shown him regarding the meaning of this awesome time in the Christian calendar.
Pastor researched all about that time in history, including what happens ( physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually ) when someone was crucified.
Wow! what an eye opener I am sure for us that had little or no idea. How Jesus suffered!
In between bits of the info, Pastor showed us scenes from the film, The Passion. There was not a dry eye in church last night……
It has had an impact on my life, I know how mcuh I love Him and I also know how little I really give to Him…
I woke up today with this song on my heart. There really is No one like Jesus!!
I have just returned home from spending 8 days in hospital with my sick daughter who suffers with Crohns disease. She had been poorly with a flare up and so ended up in hospital. It has been a hard time for both of us HOWEVER, we had prayer going up for us worldwide and we know almighty God has worked a miracle in her.
On sunday we had our Pastor and a visiting Pastor annoint her with oil and pray for her. She is still pain free Glory to God!!
Over and over, God proves His faithfulness to us His children. All He asks is that we trust and believe. We can complicate our faith and the gospel even without trying too hard…
I am so blessed to be here today, to be able to acknowledge my Lord and Saviour.
To you, 0 LORD, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, 0 my God. (Psalm 25:1)
This video is simply awesome.We sing this particular song in our Celebrate Recovery group and to be honest hadn’t seen it as I did today.
God sees me as His friend!! whoo Hoo, that gives me such joy…such incredible worth from One who deemed me worthy to die for..
I know He counts us all the same, we are the apple is in His eye, we are the love of His life. God’s heart skips a beat am sure when we call His name…
Presently, I am going through one of the hardest times in my life. Spiritually I feel so far from my friend but I know this time will pass, I can only be what I can as long as I am reaching forward.
There is a great sickness upon my family and a lethargy has settled in on some but I refuse to let that stop me. God has called me to serve, and serve I will.
I came across another blog today and was reminded of why I had originally added this beautiful, poignant music video. You see, I have been thinking seriously about how I am with people , other christians and how they act around me.
I wonder that I am not only one who isn’t always real!! You know what I mean, and yet we should be able to be as real as we are with each other.
God wants us to be so real with Him. He accepts us the way we are, warts n all as they say…
You know, I got up this morning feeling somewhat assaulted in my mind and I know exactly where that has come from! The enemy of my life is not going to let go of me that easy,…after all, he had me right me where he had wanted me.
I am making determined efforts to combat every lie, every assault, every mind battle with the Word of God. There is Power in His Word, there is life and everlasting truths that we as christians need to get a hold of and apply to our lives…
Time is of the essence, lives need to hear that there is hope, there is light for them.
God, in His infinite wisdom took hold of my life and even when I as a christian for 20 odd years lived as a hypocrite, had plans for me.
Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Lord, help me to reach even just one soul today, to share with them what you have done for me, they too can have also. Cause me to meet someone who has cried out for help, for guidance and let them see your son Jesus through my life, In Jesus name, Amen
Am certain of this one thing, that my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ thinks on me every moment of the day because His word tells me so…It is that knowledge that has me thinking, WOW Lord, I , with all my failings, messups, you name it I do it, and yet you still LOVE me with a love that can never be changed by anything I say or do…EVER!!
I am in a state of awe today. you know, those days when you get up and can only worship God Almighty..because mere words fail me.
I was thinking over my life, and yes I have had a difficult and painful one, but I don’t believe I would change anything about it. Not for anything. It is those things that have drawn me to the Lord at the most rock bottom times of my life.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.
Sometimes I have two very different voices I hear in my head whenever I have trials and tribulations going on in my life.
The first one is the voice of truth; it tells me that God loves me, wants the best for me, and wants to take care of me. It tells me that regardless of how I feel about a situation, I can know — because of promises that God makes over and over again in scripture — that if I just invite God into a situation, God will give me whatever I need to take care of whatever is going on. This voice is the voice of my faith, the voice of truth, and it is where I want to stay all of the time.
BUT
The other voice is the voice of my fear, doubt, and depression. It tells me that nothing good can come from my bad situation, that everything isn’t going to be okay, or that while God could definitely change things if God wanted to, I often doubt that God will.
I am learning, when these voices compete for my attention, that I can change which one I decide to listen to; notice I said “decide”. It becomes an act of will, regardless of feelings, to believe God’s word. I’ve heard that feelings aren’t facts, and in truth, this has been my experience. I have to pray “Lord I believe, help my unbelief.”
The part of my faith that I’ve been thinking a lot about lately is the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life: Comforter, Counselor, Friend. Jesus told us before he left that he would send us a Helper. As I grown in my faith, I’m learning that the Holy Spirit is the voice of truth that I’m hearing. That other voice is just me, in the flesh. Even when I don’t know how to pray, or what to pray for, I can know that the Holy Spirit is helping me more than I can know.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. Romans 8:26 (NIV)
Which takes me to something else I’ve heard before;
