I'm Listening

I have decided to LISTEN! ...

Recently, a very wise young woman said, "God gave us a mouth to shut and ears that never do as a sign that sometimes we need to SHUT UP and LISTEN!"

Don't you think that since God gave us two ears that He meant we should always LISTEN!

So....IF YOU HAVE A NEED TO BE HEARD....THEN THIS IS YOUR TIME to TALK ...AND my space to HEAR YOU!

SO GO AHEAD....

I AM LISTENING!

"God's Faithfulness"

The Bible says that God keeps covenant. That means if God said it, that settles the matter! I am glad that God is a covenant keeping God.

In a world of broken promises there is a deep sense of security in knowing that there is "ONE" who never wavers or sways in any area of HIS promises to His children.

I love that old hymn, "Great is Thy Faithfulness". There is nothing more comforting, more reassuring, or more precious to me than to know that GOD IS FAITHFUL!

"HE is, "Ever faithful, ever true".

I have never in my life met a new morning, but what the faithfulness of my Heavenly Father had not already...through His covenant love for me; provided "all" I would ever need...for every part of my day. For my spiritual, physical, financial, and emotional needs; my well-being.

If you need security today then just wrap your confidence around the FACT that God is not like man, he keeps his promises! You can find rest for your soul in Him....knowing that God is FAITHFUL!

The Silence of Grief

No one sees the inner pain, hears the echo of recent voices, reviews the memories, re-lives the past, or feels the utter hopelessness in loss. No one but the one...

No one is there to hold you like the one did, speak the same, take the place, bring the joy you once shared, or experience how hard it is to re-call the face. No one but the one...

No one can know the cry in the heart, the loneliness in the soul, the emptyness of seconds that become minutes, hours, days, months, years. No one but the one.

Oh, the silence of grief.

When the last condolence is made and the door closes, when you walk down an even longer hallway, when you lie on your bed at night burying your head deep within the covers to try to block out the scenes and the sorrows that echo... it is gone, they're gone, it is over... No one but the one.

Grief is a lonely and hard journey. It cannot be done by two or three; even though two or three are affected by the loss. It cannot be done by a group; even though the loss touches many.

It is personal. It is long, hard, lonely, it is painful, it is........... Silent!

No one can know it but the one.

Take Heart

So much pain in the world? Take heart!
No place to turn; need a new start?
Look to the Lord and you will find... the pain of the past will fall behind
Joy will come in the midst of the rain.
Sunshine will follow the long night of pain
Hope will spring forth anew once more.
The Lord's coming is at the door.

"I BELIEVE!"

I BELIEVE!...

God created me...and that today He has not lost count of how many hairs are on my head or of the times I begged forgiveness for failing to be, say or do all that He wanted.

I BELIEVE!...

That He loves me and will not forsake me. He never once abandoned me and He never will!

I BELIEVE!...

He will give me strength to face each and every day because He sees potential in me that I cannot see.

I BELIEVE!...

In His love...that nailed him to that tree.

I BELIEVE!...

That the "One" who commands us to forgive 490 times a day...still forgives....and forgives me.

I BELIEVE!...

In the blood that sets me free and that it is the same blood that heals me now and for all eternity...and is currently, actively, healing, now presently...has healed me in all my years past and will heal me right on up to the day of my "Ultimate Healing!"

I BELIEVE!...

I can...because He already has!

I BELIEVE!...

Lord...help thou my unbelief..............

Unbelief...

because my focus shifted off from you and onto me or on the circumstances around me.

Unbelief...

because my eyes were too clouded with tears to see clearly.

Unbelief...

because there will be places up the road of my life's journey where I will be afraid to walk and the valley might overshadow my path.

Unbelief...

because the goodness of mankind is being swept away more daily through the wicked devices and plans of evil men.

Unbelief ...

because............you knew I would...

You knew...

That I would be weak..

You knew...

That I would be tempted.

You knew...

That flesh, body and mind...would be weak; even though my spirit willingly presses onward and upward.

Herein is what I BELIEVE...

I BELIEVE...LORD JESUS!!!

....and like your first disciples...who walked with you, talked with you, touched you and beheld your glorious works first hand...

They prayed.....

HELP thou MY unbelief"....

Pictorial Definition of "Horse Laugh"

Horse Laugh: a loud, coarse laugh

Recently reviewing my site I decided that it was time to do something a little different. This is for all those people out there who have ever been horse laughed at or who have horse laughed at another.

I hope that this inspires you to throw your head back, open your mouth wide and bare your pearly whites and even if you have no teeth... go ahead and show those gums...

but for Heaven's Sake.....

JUST LAUGH!!!
