Reminder

The Lord has just reminded me of what my calling, of what my heart's desire has been for years.  I just keep getting stuck in "me-ism" and can't seem to reach out and help others.  Like I said a day or so ago, this is a new day.  A new season in my life.  I have believed for many years that my calling is to see people, namely women, "set free, healed and delivered".  

Father God, help me learn to walk in freedom so I can reach out in Your strength and in Your Son's Name to help others.

A New Day

Today is a new day.  I received a good report from some tests I had yesterday.  God is good.  Now to start looking up and not inward.  It's about Him and His power in me.  It's the heart that counts, not my falliable actions. 
 
Lord, please help me bring you honor and glory in my body as I present it to you, a living sacrifice.  In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Believing God

1.  God is Who He says He is.
2.  God can do what He says He can do.
3.  I am who God says I am.
4.  I can do all things thru Christ.
5.  God's Word is alive and active in me.

I'M BELIEVING GOD!!

I need this. 

I'm wearing a bamboo ring with a cross and the word Grace in Hebrew as a gentle reminder that no matter what I'm up against, I'M BELIEVING GOD!!  God has all things in His hands.  Even when I think I know best, He knows better.  He knows what is going to happen down the road.  He's the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega.  He is my hope and my strength.  My deliverer. 
 
I have Bible study with a group of ladies tonight.  Looking forward to the fellowship with like-minded women.  So nice to join in with others who love the Lord and depend on Him for their very lives - knowing He is the giver of life and all good things.

My Tummy

My tummy is bothering me.  I have a physical on 1/8/13.  I am going to stop being weak-willed and make a firm decision.  I am going to eat and drink well between now and my appointment.  Prayerfully and hopefully my tummy will be much better by then.  This is a good reason to do better!!  I have backbone and I can do this because I can do all things thru Christ who gives me strength!!

No Title (that's a title)

Another workday almost done.  Bought my sweet hubby a couple of Christmas gifts today at lunch.  I love that man.  Would buy him anything he wanted if I could afford it.  He's such a gift giver too.  Two of a kind in that aspect.

Planning on watching the first DVD in Believing God tonight.  I have done this study before but feel like I want to do it again.  I feel that I cannot get enough Word.  None of us can get enough Word.  It seems that the older I get the more I realize everything else is just fluff.  I want something that is going to hold me up when I need it (every minute of every day).  I want something that I can share with others and help them when they are feeling helpless and hopeless (which they are and I am without Him).  I want something that is going to make a difference in my life and the lives of those around me.  I want more of Him. 

"On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.  All other ground is sinking sand." 

Isn't that the Truth?! 

Well, not much else to say about this day.  At this point anyway.  :-)

Simply Today

What can I say?  This is Wednesday 12/5/12.  Can't believe it is only 3 weeks til Christmas.  I really believe time is accelerated.  Jesus will surely be here soon!!
 
Going through a lot of different things right now.  Lots of growth opportunities as I seek to serve the Lord and fulfill His purpose for my life.  His purpose - love people!!
 
I will be heading up a new Middle School class/ministry at my church.  I've never worked with this age of kids before but I am excited.  I feel like God is in it.  I have asked Him to help me fall in love with every child that He places in this class.  Everybody needs to feel and be loved.  My church is the most loving church I have ever been in.  God is good.  And God is LOVE.
 
Trying daily to give myself anew to the Lord.  My life, my body, my health, my family, my home, everything that the Lord has entrusted me to be a steward over.  Asking for His will and His glory, not mine.  So imperfect I am.  Thank God that Jesus perfection covers my failures.  I know that in my head and probably deep in my heart.  Sometimes I don't feel it.  I digress,...
 
Loving my husband more every day that I live.  He is such a wonderful blessing from God.  He treats me like a princess.  I am amazed at him.  I would love to be like him. 
 
I thank God for new mercies every day.  I need them.  I feel sure I use up all my mercies daily. 
 
Working on 3 Bible Studies and getting ready to start a 4th one.  I want to be immersed in the Word.  That is my hope and my life.  Without Him, Jesus, The Word made flesh, I am hopeless and helpless.  I realize that more and more. 
 
Battling a phobia in my life.  Believing God for deliverance.  Giving Him my fears and failures.  I don't want fear to stop me from living my life to the full for the Lord.  Jesus came that I might have life, in abundance, to the full.  Fear stops that.  If you have any fears or phobias, you can relate.
 
"I have not been given the spirit of fear."

Loving God and desiring to learn to love life.  Without reservation.  Without fear.  Simply believing God.
