"She walked out!"

Our phone rang in the middle of the night. A woman in distress had just had a major fight with her spouse of less than a year. Nothing could console her! She did the dreaded thing "She walked out!" As she was speaking, I could literaly feel the knot in her throat and the enemy crouching at the door of their house laughing! I could sense that many were the darts that were thrown to one another. How was this possible!

I began to calm her down and began to whisper words of comfort and love. When we are angry we tend to say things we really do not mean. The word of God says "In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. Your adornment must not be merely external -- braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered." 1 Peter 3:1-7

Letting Go is part of the Journey!

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. (Romans 5:1-5)



I have learned so much throught the studying of God's word. I have also understood that God works through the experiences of my life. Every circumstance and situation is to line us up in the path that God has set before us. I have learned that through every valley and mountain top experience God seems to show his light that will always will lead me to him.

When I feel that alone or can't seem to make a decision I know that I can lean on him. He states "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). By trusting God I have learned to be patient because I know that Christ will always lead me directly to him. I must let Him go before me in my journey. He will make all crooked path straight. He will lead beside those still waters and will bring peace to my soul. He is only building my character.

Pondering and Wondering

I feel like this picture! Pondering and wondering! Where am I! Looking at a distance of things yet untold of plans not yet fulfilled. Feeling at times as a failure yet old triumphs keep me from fading away. I am still here surrounded by Love; by family; by friends who test and try us at times. Yet I am a woman who some where in her depths needs the loving arms of her father to hold her and tell her that this is all part of His ultimate plan.
At times when he paints his visions in front of me, I can literally see the paintbrush moving and action taking place and sometimes when I see the outcome to come I want to jump in to the picture and skip everything and get ahead of my self. Yet, His loving arms hold me back and place me in front of the vision and begins to utter words that make me realize I must take one step at a time.

Anger yelling at our door!

Anger arrived at our door around 9:30 a.m. and had stood there throwing darts of insult for our christian believes. Anger wanted her son back and there was no way she was going to stand down. She felt she had lost him to a christian occult. Anger and ridicule began to call the pastor the leading clown of all. The funny thing is that we never met the person who was represented by anger. She was a complete stranger! She did not know that the anger of the generations was coming to claim that which belong to them. What she does not know that anger will one day leave her and one day it will be replaced by the ultimate love. My pastor did not yell back or argue for he knew he was not dealing with the person but with a misrepresentation.

Success in the failure of the clay!

I was reminiscing on past failures and success! The funny thing is that our failures have given us more victories than our success. What? This sound weird! Well, no actually it is not! It is when we fail that God shows us that we can learn from our mistakes. Truly He is the Potter and we are the clay. We can not mold ourselves. The clay can not place itself on the potter’s wheel. It has no strength, no wisdom, it’s just clay. It can not mold itself. It is only He, the Potter that picks us up and puts on the wheel. We are truly in the hands of the master. We must learn from every touch and every turn.
