Peace vs Not So Peaceful

Monday - I knew I had an answer from the Lord and I had total peace.  Felt so good after a few weeks of yuck (hint: when your peace is gone - ask the Lord where you're missing it - I'm going to start doing this earlier!!).  Then Tuesday,...  I still know the decision made was a God decision but total chaos.  One day of peace.  Now lots of yuck but the right decision was made.  God is still in control!!  So, in times past I would start questioning my earlier decision but I have learned to follow Peace and I'm standing firm in the Lord.  Circumstances cannot dictate my decisions.  Prayer must do that.  The Word must do that.

Tummy Tuck

Major accomplishment in my life today!  I am not sucking my tummy in and not looking in every mirror that I walk by.  God is answering prayer in me right now.  Helping me be the woman He created me to be.  Realizing that I don't have to have a perfect body.  Jesus is perfect - I am not.  And it's ok.  I'm ok.  I'm more than ok.  I am one of His favorites!!

Freedom in Christ

Today we celebrate Independence Day. Freedom at the cost of people's lives. I have realized today that it is God's intention and desire for me to be set free, healed and delivered - at the cost of Someone's life. Jesus Christ. My Savior and Strong Deliverer. When I am weak, He is strong.

Happy Independence Day!

Who I Am

For all of my life that I can remember, I have been a people pleaser.  I have also had trouble with commitment.  In relationships, in positions, just in general an issue with commitment.  I realize now the reason I have been unable to fulfill commitments is because I cannot keep up a false ME.  As I learn to be myself, to not be a people pleaser, the issues with commitment will cease.  Learning to be WHO I AM called to be in the Lord.  Learning to please God first and foremost and let everything else fall into place.   

Sin and Hiding

Sin makes us hide from the ones we love the most.  Following in the footsteps of Adam and Eve,...

His Child

I repeat the name of my blog in this post after so long!  His child,...  That is all I know that I am.  I try.  I fail.  I try.  I succeed.  Then I try again,...  Sometimes I let Satan convince me I'm a failure but then a voice speaks louder and clearer - or maybe it "softer"  and "dearer".  And I know I'm not a failure.  I am a child of the Most High God.  His child.  I'm satisfied with that.  And because of His Son, He's satisfied with me. 

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.
