What Has The Lord Been Doing In My Life

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 03:39 PST

I am back. I wanted to send a personal message to everyone, I certainly cannot fit that in so I thought I would send a blog to say I am back and to apologize for my absence. It feels like returning to a long lost friend, a comfortable feeling and an easy conversation even as the years have separated us. Here it was just a few months! I have no excuse really for leaving, yes life has been busy, but really when is it not? Perhaps it was just a needed distance for awhile, perhaps my attention was needed elsewhere, perhaps it was something that God had to work into my life. I am not sure but I do miss I missed you all. I missed the daily encouragement, the awe of God working in your lives that is ever so abundantly clear by the blogs shared here. I missed...

An April Fools Virus Resulting In Conviction From God

I have not turned away from the Lord I love so much. He is still so ever present in my mind and heart, but I have not been seeking Him. I have not loved Him with all my heart, soul, strength and mind! I have allowed the things of this world, the idols interfere with my time with Him. Whereas I once spent my every morning with Him in prayer, worship and the reading of His Word, I have been led astray by the evil one and have been playing computer games instead. My goodness how stupid! Last Friday in our Bible study we read about the Israelites making the golden calf as they tired of waiting on God. And remarked how stupid of them, how could they worship an inanimate object over the Living God. So clear coming off the pages, but how easy we do it in this...

We Have Climbed Mount Fuji And Have Our Sights On Everest

I must first say thank you for the prayers and encouraging words I have got from so many of you. It has indeed made a difference. As Mom and I climbed Mt. Fuji and faced our fears at the doctor yesterday, the Lord was victorious. And He gave me some revelation that I needed. We drove and Mom made not one critical comment. The children were very well behaved, as I have but no choice to bring them with us. Mom shared with me in the car how she thought this appointment was doomsday and really had a bad feeling about it. But we went and then much to our surprise it went so much better then expected. First he shared that he had talked to the urologist and that her left kidney is not functioning at all so therefore this horrid procedure we thought she would have to face...

The Bump In The Road Is Not Mt. Fuji

The Bump in the Road is Not Mt. FujiI will just start out to say that I have been overwhelmed to say the least. Literally hanging by a thread and my dear mother in her infirmity has been criticizing that very thread I am hanging on. It makes it doubly hard. I know that more than likely this is her suppressed anger at the whole situation coming out on me, who is her caregiver and one she knows will love her anyway. She does not know the Lord so confronting death must be a very scary thing but she keeps all her feelings bottled up inside and it comes out as attacks on me. Sunday morning I went to church in tears and the wife of our friend whom has ALS was in tears and in her sorrow she comforted me and gave me words of wisdom I am so...

A Quiet Retreat From The World

My husband blessed me. He knows how I have been struggling, just overwhelmed with responsibility, coping with ill parents, finding it hard to have a quiet moment and really just craving some time where for once no one needs anything from me. Selfish? Maybe, I havent quite sorted that out, I just know I have been on demand and needed a time of refreshing. So hubby arranged for me to go to my brothers beach house this weekend. At the end of January, not a time to vacation at the beach, but just what I needed, it is quiet. Blessedly quiet. Just me and my Lord. I am not lonely in the least, nor afraid just at peace. I slept like a baby, buried under 10 pounds of blankets, just the way I like it, awoke at 7:am refreshed and spent a good hour with the Lord, reading His Word,...

Do You Live As Though Your Heavenly Father Enjoys You?

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:05 PST

Do you live as though your Heavenly Father enjoys you?That is the question our Bible study guide started out for the new chapter. An interesting question, one that cuts to the core of us. As the lady across from me read it, she started weeping. This chapter we are starting is all about our adoption into a new family, that of God. And the dear lady across from me, as well as I, knows all about adoption, for we were both adopted by our earthly parents. We had to go around the table, there were six of us; my husband and I, our growth group leader and his wife, a widower and the dear woman whom is struggling in her marriage, just like me. Her husband does not come. Our assignment was to describe our earthly fathers and our relationships with them, how it was growing up. and what our...

But You Brought Us Out To Rich Fulfillment

But You Brought Us Out to Rich FulfillmentI was so blessed with a gift of Premier Membership on Christmas. I was so excited to be able to blog again and be a part of the wonderful people who gather here. But then I feel as if I was sucked down into a eddy. This thing called life has just sapped me and left me like a dry autumn leaf blowing in the wind. There is no life there, nothing to offer a weary soul, just fuel for a fire. Swirling around subject to this wind or that wind. My quiet time with the Lord had been suffering and I had resolved to get that back on track. I needed life and healing and hope spoken back to my very soul. As of January 1, I did begin my quiet time and His refreshing started to come back, only to be...

A Heartfelt Thank You To A Dear Brother Or Sister In Christ

I was so busy on Christmas I had no time to sign in to CB. So, finally, yesterday I had a few minutes and signed on to find some dear brother or sister in Christ had purchased a Premier Membership for me. I was absolutely speechless and stunned and most of all so appreciative. I have missed being able to blog, and as things this time around are not so good with my mom , I am in deep need of fellowship so this gift means so very much to me, that words cannot adequately express the gratitude that I feel inside. So whomever you are, thank you so much! And I would love to know who you are so I can give you a personal thank you! But please know that I am sooooo thankful and will be a good steward of this gift you have given me. Can...

Being An Abandoned Child Of This World

Being An Abandoned Child of this WorldAs we grow as Christians often times we discover things about us that need to be cleansed, healed and made new. It is that time for me as God has been engineering my circumstances so this issue of Abandonment can be brought to the surface.Last Friday I was at my Growth Group and expressing fear over this election and our leader followed me into the kitchen and asked if I had been abused as a child. Whoa! Wait a minute, of course I wasnt I had a fairly good childhood. I right away said no and went on my way. But his words kept reverberating in my head and all of a sudden I realized I had lied. You, see, I did suffer abuse, not by my family, but by two, very sick men. It happened in my early teen years and for some...

Being A Fool For Christs Sake

Being A Fool for Christs SakeThe Gospel shall cause this to happen in your life:Make you a fool for Christs sakeA spectacle to the worldweakdishonoredhungrythirstypoorly clothedbeatenhomelessreviledpersecuteddefamedfilth of the worldSound fun? Have you seen this manifestation in your life? I blogged about my rejection from family members because of my faith and then this morning I read 1 Corinthians 4:I summarized it quickly above, and do you know what stood out to me? No room for pride. How easy is it for us to get puffed up over stupid mundane things but as we make ourselves fools for the sake of the Gospel we are brought so low we realize how we have nothing to be proud of. When we are fools for Christ, all glory and honor points to the Father. My cousin wrote me a very mean email. I wanted to retaliate and refute her allegations. Why? And as...
