Apology

2011-07-14T10:22:00.002-06:00

Hello All!I just want to apologize for being gone from here for so long. I hope to have content to post soon. Our daughter who was renting a home had someone place a for sale sign in her yard; come to her door and ask is she knew the place was being sold. She found that the owner had been pocketing the rent money they were paying to the rental agency. The home went into default of course. The

Strong Enough to Bend

2011-06-21T08:33:00.004-06:00

This came from a post on Face Book under "Whispers of God:"Thought for the Day: “God created the oak tree, which grows tall, straight, and strong. He also created the palm, which bends and sways in the changing winds. We need to learn to adopt the traits of both so we can be strong yet flexible – so we can weather the storms of life yet not break when life’s winds blow too hard.” Have an awesome

Looking at Churches

2011-06-02T04:38:00.003-06:00

Have you heard of "shopping for churches"? That is exactly what my husband done when he first accepted Christ. He wanted to check out churches before even stepping in one. At first I thought, that is just weird and wrong. But I am so thankful he done so. I was also a little miffed at first that he wouldn't check out the church that our son & I were attending at the time. But, God does know best.

Words Given

2011-05-26T09:27:00.004-06:00

I love hearing the voice of God. Learning more and more to wait upon His voice. Impatience doesn't cut it when you need to hear from Him.This morning while driving back home after dropping my grand daughters off at school; I was thinking of how often times I become crabby. I don't like being that way. Getting upset with drivers that take chances drives me nuts. Why? So I started to pray. During

What if His people prayed by Casting Crowns

2011-05-24T10:30:00.000-06:00

What if we all took a stand and prayed? What if we stood up to the handful of people that want to take God out of the Constitution, out of schools, etc? What if we stood up and said, "NO MORE!" What if we all started praying? Think of all the possibilities if we all took a stand together and started praying for our great nation, for the world! Our nation, our country, the world, God depends on it

Who You Are

2011-05-20T09:32:00.003-06:00

First off, just want to Praise the Lord for bringing some huge break through's through some very dark trials. I'm relieved my husband's season seems to be coming to an end! Hallelujah! It's been a long tough trial, but all is good, for now he has a good testimony to share with many.My mind was brought to saying a few things on beautiful us. I know I've posted many a time about this subject, yet

Actually Oct. 2006, when unbeknownst as to why, I quit drinking and smoking, just like that. A month later our son and my husband quit as well. Shortly after, our son purchased, (I know for some this is a repeat, but it leads up to

Be Careful What You Ask For

Lately I've been feeling overwhelmed with all I really need to take care of; well what I feel I need to take care of anyhow. I know there is no need to feel that way, but sometimes we focus on the somewhat trivial things. So yesterday while talking with hubs about how I have so much jumbled, mumbled mess going through my head, I decided to pray about it. I asked the Lord to please provide time to

I've often asked myself, "why is this person able to do this, and that one able to do that, but I so struggle and wonder if I'll ever be able to..."Today while sitting in group watching a video, I looked up and glanced across the room and looked at a very dear friend. She took on a whole different look. She was radiant, a princess just beautiful as could be. I saw this vision and heard, she has a

This morning while listening to KTSY, a message of giving came on. I've heard it before, but not like I did today.The husband was talking about how another couple was housing some homeless people. He felt he needed to do the same utilizing their garage. His wife reminded him that they only had a car port. He then said they could utilize their back yard to feed the homeless. His wife reminded him

But this morning was led to it.Many things have happened/changed in the past few weeks. I don't know how to put it into words, but the Lord has a hold of me in a major way. Praise the Lord! Since then, things keep coming that continues to

Why Some may not Believe

2011-02-17T15:32:00.003-07:00

While writing up a Bible study for my family from Life Principles Bible by Dr. Charles F. Stanley, I came across the following:Why do so many people not enjoy God's presence? Because they do not really know Him.That made me realize that so many out there think that because He can not be seen or touched that He is not real. There are many other reasons used as well, but am thinking this is a big

While working on a Bible study program for hubs, son, and myself; I came across ideas for obtaining Bible reference materials. For those that can't afford these materials, there are ways of obtaining them free of charge. There are many helpful sites on-line. Just google search Bible references or Bible study. Also check with your local library or church library if one is available. Another option

What Type of Christian Are You

I love hear the voice of the Lord. I love it when He feeds us such good thoughts. The message He gave me this morning while in my prayer closet really got me to thinking. What truly amazes me--but now as I'm typing this, He is revealing why it happens this way--is that our Pastor has spoke this very message, & it hit home, but now hearing it from the Lord, it has really hit me. He revealed to me

Desires of the World or the Lord

2011-02-04T11:07:00.002-07:00

What do you pursue in life? Do you desire and work for things of the world? Is your focus on getting the things you want? Or do you follow with what the Lord has planned for you?Here's a little food for thought:1 John 2:15-1715 Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. 16 For everything that belongs to the world--

2011-02-03T15:08:00.002-07:00

I know I have talked about judgment before, but it is an ongoing struggle with many, to include myself. I found myself today asking, "Lord, am I the only one that struggles with not judging others? Am I the only one that has such a hard time controlling that sin?"No, I'm not the only one and it is most unfortunate that we in the flesh find ourselves continuing to commit these sins. What can we do

Walk Away or Not

2011-01-28T20:51:00.002-07:00

I'm compelled to speak about this subject. When we see someone struggling with a mental disorder, who slips back into darkness, do we walk away? Do we say, I can't do this any more, it's up to them?I have a question for you if your answer is yes. Does God walk away from His children? Is this what He would want us to do? We are a blessed people to have a Father in Heaven of whom never forsakes us.

His Presence

2011-01-19T06:50:00.004-07:00

You're attending the Catalyst Convention and in the middle of worship. You feel His presence strong and mighty and your singing your heart out to him. All of a sudden, you know for sure He's there! With eyes closed you see a bust of Jesus just above us all. He's smiling a huge smile and you know He's happy. Then you hear the words, "I'm pleased with my children." You speak, "Jesus!

For He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."This comes after a conversation with a

I wasn't going to make this post part of this session, but realized that it fits right in. As always, amazed and in awe of His perfect timing. I just visited a few blogs and was so touched and in awe of how a couple of them dealt with this situation. I wasn't going to do any visiting tonight, just get on, type away and be done.

Today is Thanksgiving and what a great Scripture to use. 1 Hallelujha! I will praise the Lord with all my heart in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.2 The Lord's works are great, studied by all who delight in them.3 All that He does is splendid and majestic; His righteousness endures forever.4 He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered.

For with Him so much joy has been brought to our lifes. Freedom! I'm thankful for the church we were led to.

You may ask, when you know many are hurting, down, ill, just plain down on their luck can you be happy? Well, let me explain some events that have taken place. I love His perfect timing.

I'll start by saying, this is not #10 as there has been way more than that since coming back to the Lord, but that is the number that came to my head, so I'll go with it. ;) This month marks the 4th year since coming back to the Lord for our son and myself and for Hubs accepting Him! It's such a good feeling. So what is it that came today? Today I went to my chiropractor appt. feeling drained. I

Today while driving into Boise via the connector, I looked upon the valley in a whole new light. I've never seen it in this manner before. It took on a whole new, beautiful look. It is impossible to explain it exactly other than the Lord has been moving me in new directions and taking me to knew levels. I just drove in awe at this new found beauty of our surroundings.

It is always so hard to watch the beatings, the horrible treatment that Jesus endured through the capture, the trials, and the crucifixion. All the evil that took place. The tears flow and once again I shout, "Lord I am not worthy of your love. I Thank You for all that your endured for our sins."While watching the movie I ask how

As you all know, I've been back and forth, write then leave for a while. I've been a part time Christian for way too long. I'm trying to fight it. So please bear with me. Don't get me wrong, I've never stopped believing or loving our Father, just...I don't know. I'm tired of struggling and praying. I've got to stay focused and stay strong in the Lord. I do know that the struggles leads to great

Be Eternally Grateful

2010-01-12T04:55:00.003-07:00

Psalm 100 NIV1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.3 Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise His name.5 For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;

I just read an inspiring story written at Back to the Bible by Elizabeth Elliot. It really makes one take a step back and look at life and how we interpret it. Things may seem bleek and dreary, but is it really? You can go here to read the story:http://www.backtothebible.org/index.php/devotions/authors/elisabeth_elliot.htmlDue to copy righted material, I was not able to post the actual story on

Children of Abuse, Neglect...

2009-12-29T15:51:00.002-07:00

This is a subject that has been weighing heavy on my mind for some time. I wanted to right about it before, but knew it wasn't the right time, now it is. I've been mulling this over all day with how to approach this subject. There really is no easy way, no easy words, just cold, hard facts. This will come across as harsh for some, but if so, perhaps it's telling you to sit back and really take a

Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child

2009-12-04T10:42:00.002-07:00

My grandchildren always seem to amaze me. I love their innocence and seeing that light come on. My 8 year old grandson, 7 year old grand daughter, and 5 year old grand daughter has a great love for the Lord. They are amazing with their desire to learn more about Him. Our 10 year old grandson, wants to have a better understanding and often asks questions. It's awesome.So lately, the 7 year old

Letting the Light Go Out

2009-11-27T18:34:00.003-07:00

When we let our light go out, our song die, we lose hope; we open the door to the enemy. It is an open invitation to come take over and cause trouble. We then become more frustrated, distracted, make mistakes and the list goes on.If we continue on this path, not relighting that flame, putting that song back in our hearts, times get worse. Our dark moments become even darker. Sinking further and

Sharing God's Love

2009-11-09T23:33:00.002-07:00

I’ve been going to write this post for about a week now and finally have the right words for it all. Its funny how we are lead on our paths and wait until the right moment. We often wonder why at times we wait and put things off. It’s not always procrastination, but rather our Father telling us to wait until He has given us the exact tools we need to carry on.Tonight I received word that my best

Been Away Far Too Long

2009-11-03T14:04:00.002-07:00

I have been away from blogging for far too long. I finally received my nudge to come back home to here. I've missed blogging. I got too wrapped up in Face Book. :( What an addiction that was. I am going to keep the account, but mainly for keeping in touch with friends and spreading the word. I am coming back to here to do what the Lord has planned for me. I only wish I had listened a long time

I Can Read...and Will!

2009-09-17T08:23:00.003-06:00

Just visited Kim's blog at Homesteaders Heart where she has posted a challenge for reading. Like her, I have tons of books to read. I'll start them, but never finish them. I never make the time to read, but love to read, so why am I not reading them.Any hoo, this challenge was stolen by her from Lisa, who stole it from another person--yes, brain farting here again--who stole it from another and

God was in the House, oh yes He was! We are having Sacred Assembly or Solemn Assembly this weekend. It started last night. The presence of God is strong. He's moving volumes. The anointing is strong. I love having these encounters.Psalm 80:1-191 "Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel. You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and

Tonight while watching the news, there was report of a seven year old boy who was kept behind a false wall by his grandmother and mother. Turns out the news report was different than the one on-line, so not sure what the whole story is. I was instantly upset, as mistreatment of kids just makes my blood boil. Then I started thinking of the family that lives behind us. That's all I'll say, as

Comment Problems

2009-09-04T12:05:00.002-06:00

This is just to let you all know that for some reason I am not able to comment most of the time. I do read, but can not comment. I have a hard time responding to those that comment on mine. I'm not ignoring any of you, just have no control. Hope to be able to work on cleaning up and fixing my computer tonight and this weekend. Hope to be back in business here soon. Love and Blessings to you all!

Praying for the Lost & Unsaved

2009-09-04T09:58:00.004-06:00

God is so good! My heart hurts for those that do not know our Savior. I pray that someday soon they will come to know Him and realize how empty life is without Him. Those that know me know that I deal with chronic pain and illnesses at times (often). But you also know that I'm not going to give in to it, for I know there is a reason and God is taking care of me.Talking with a beautiful woman from

Loosed by Faith

2009-09-02T12:51:00.003-06:00

First off, let me point out that I do not feel I'm a saint, perfect, or above anyone; far from it. I'm praying that this will help others find their way that have been through the same experiences. With that out of the way, please read on.Ever since 5th grade, I've been overly insecure, living with low self-esteem until finding my way back to the Lord. I still suffer, but not nearly as bad.

This weekend, hubby, Jay & I took a trip up north to visit my parents, little sister and her family. I so love the trip up their albeit a long one. The beauty one sees offered along the way is awe inspiring. It brings a certain peace to one's being.

Reading some of the posts that I did, I knew God had a hand in it. First I went to "Thoughts" where I found out about baby McKallister. I thought of the family from our church that just lost their 31/2 mos. old baby girl. to SIDS. I thought about my little sister who's baby girl was stillborn after nine months, and my parents who lost my oldest sister after 1 day. Then I thought of my

Wise Teaching

2009-08-12T19:43:00.002-06:00

Today I learnt something very important. I don't know how many of you have read and/or heard John or Lisa Bevere teachings. Wow! Wow! Wow! Talk about two people totally annointed by the Lord and so willing to serve. Those two are completely dedicated and God is speaking through them.I had mentioned that John recently visited our church and spoke. It was awesome. I missed the night he spoke on his
