I know I need You I need to love You Lord I'd love to see You but it's been so long I long to feel you I feel this need for You and I need to hear You, is that so wrong? Now You pull me near You when we're close I fear You still I'm afraid to tell You all that I've done Are You done forgiving? or can You look past my pretending? I'm so tired defending what I've become.. what have I become? I hear You say : "My love is over, it's underneath it's inside, it's in-between In times that you doubted Me, when you can't feel In times that you question, is this for real?

a Wilderness Experience

This winter is really stretching me... in more than one way.  I feel... almost... 'post-mortem-ish'. It feels as if I just cannot get past this roller-coaster-emotional-ride I am on! I know that emotion and faith has nothing do with one another. It's a faith thing  and that I should keep my focus on that. But I am really struggling through all of this. The mountain is just toooo high this time; maybe my aging hormones plays a role, or another exam on its way, or my all-time-weight-battle, my summer clothes that doesn't fit anymore and the mere thought of going on another diet.... agh,!  I just feel sick to my stomach.

However, there can be no faith in Christ without repentance and no repentance without

Rahab: Prostitute turned spy for God

By her Profession, Rahab was known as a scandalous woman in the Old Testament, yet this prostitute turned spy was honored by God twice in the New Testament. Like Rahab, you may not have a spotless history, but that won't stop God from choosing to use you, and perhaps even recognizing the noble accomplishments He wants to perform through your life.  If you feel unworthy or marked by the embarrassing mistakes of your past, let Rahab's example encourage you.  Rahab turned from her pas to follow God, and her life was forever changed.

a Prophetic word

Isn't it amazing that a prophetic word from God can make you feel airborne ? God must have known in His infinite wisdom, what His words, spoken in season will do to His children.  Man oh Man oh Man.... how I love this Man ! But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. 1 Corinthians 14:3 Thank You Heavenly Father for the profound prophetic word Thank  You  for trusting me Thank  You  for expanding my territory Thank  You  for Restoration ministries Thank  You  for my new 'boots' and Thank You for all the blessings You have promised to send to me and those who stood by me and supported me all these years I receive it in Jesus Name
