You mind your business

Believe that God can...instead of whether it's His will

To believe that God can...is your business
Whether God want's to...that's totally His business...

You do what you can.

Fighting the good fight

This very beautiful painting of Ilse Klein reminds me of a vision I received from the Lord of my mom.
Shortly after my mom died I bombarded the Lord with questions about my mom, all I wanted to know was 'is she ok'. I knew she suffered from depression even though she tried to hide it from us and it was of utmost importance to me that she had a purpose, that she is doing 'something'. She has had such a hard life, gone through things no one could imagine, and finally died of leukemia without us even knowing it. I needed her to be happy for a change - it was all I ever wanted for her. And then one night I had a vision... I saw my mom riding on a horse - of all things, with Jesus and they were fighting off the enemies! She was focused and had a purpose! I never needed to ask God anything about her again, I had peace knowing she was in 'good hands'. What a beautiful God we serve.

You went through hell

Jesus, I finally see
The cross, the nails, You went through hell
Just to get to me
Oh Lord, King of kings
To think You wore a crown of thorns
Just to get to me

I leave it all at the cross
Here I will lay my guilt and shame
I leave it all at the cross
