ht Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and let him bear his cross, and let him follow Me.
This Prayer by St. Francis Assisi was in my reading today & I wanted to share..
Lord, make a channel of Thy peace, that where there is hatred, I may bring love; that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; that, where there is discord, I may bring harmony; that, where there is error, I may bring truth; that, where there is doubt, I may bring faith; that, where there is despair, I may bring hope; that, where there are shadows, I may bring light; that, where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted, to understand than to be understood; to love than to be loved; for it is by forgetting self that one finds; it is forgiving that one is forgiven; it is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.

Thank you, Irene. It was the grace of God, and that same grace will keep me as I work long hours every day between managing the home, homeschooling my daughter, and now a job. My first day, Saturday, I work from 10:30 - 9:00. I doubt I will be up at 4:30 to seek the Lord anymore, but I will seek Him first, whatever time that is. He is my life!
It was that same grace of God that enables me to love my husband and to hold my tongue from retaliation when he gets in the flesh. It also keeps me from retreating into a pity party. He reminds me of what He has said, and that Word delivers me in my hour of need. All praise be to our God and Father and to the Lord Jesus Christ.
All you ladies who prayed, you should know the Lord ministered to Him mightily last night. He repented for his harshness, as he always does, but more than that, hope and a vision was imparted to him. He claims he has received clear direction from the Lord in a business he has had trouble getting off the ground. He took a course and studied very hard to be able to buy and sell notes. The lack of funds has prevented him from advertising, but the Lord is showing him strategies now to get it moving. He came home so full of faith and comforted by the Holy Spirit after the group had laid hands on him and prayed. He said the Lord spoke to him all the way home. Am I offended that he wouldn't receive from me? No. I am thankful that he has been ministered to.
The enemy causes trouble. He says he couldn't share with me because I beat him over the head with the Bible. All I said when He was down was "God is faithful". And, "we walk by faith, not by sight" when he said he hasn't seen anything yet. I know not to say anything to him at times like that. I have been praying much and asking my friends at my Life Group on Mondays to pray for the Lord to show me how I can be a blessing to him. That has always been my goal. Years ago I stopped looking at what I want from him. I don't think about that anymore. Ever. It just doesn't cross my mind. All I desire is for him to come into the fullness of who God has intended for him and to be the wife he needs. It my responsibility to love, not be loved. God takes care of that.
Lots of good stuff has been posted by all of you. I have very much enjoyed these posts.
Great to have you sharing again, Glenda. Come whenever you can and are able.
ral, your a heart to heart kind of friend. I know I'm not alone as you identify and locate my feelings and situations so readily.
pc4, I was once married to an abusive man. I know you need much grace in your life to live victoriously. Thanks be to God He gives it in Christ Jesus! I believe you will see the desired result in your family. Justin can thank God he has you, and I believe one day he will. You are a shining light there.
Here's my most current list of scriptures I am meditating on.
Psalm 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me. 17 Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud*, And He shall hear my voice. NKJV
*To cry aloud, sound, make noise, tumult, be clamorous, be disquieted, be loud, to roar to be in a stir, be in a commotion to be boisterous, be turbulent
Isaiah 40:4 “Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough places smooth;
5 The glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” NKJV
Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;
31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired. AMP
Ephesians 1:3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. NLT
Psalm 35:27 And let them say continually,
“Let the LORD be magnified,
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness
And of Your praise all the day long. NKJV
Isaiah 40:8 The word of our God stands forever. NKJV
Isaiah 55:10 “The rain and snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.
11 It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it. NLT
12 For you shall go out [from the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be led forth [by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His word] with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. AMP
Good!!! HE is good, He is the Word and you be blessed for sowin it into our lives
Hi all my love flows to you.. Cindy wrote to me today and asked me to share this song.. a favourite of hers here.. I hope this is the right one.. by Kari Jobe called "Pure"
Lyrics too.. I cannot always hear the lyrics clearly... yet!! Halleujah..
Lyrics to Pure :
Your love is pure your love is precious your love is all i need
your love is pure your love is precious your love is all i need
your love surrounds me your love astounds me your love is everything.
i run to you my heart is weak i cling to you your all i see
it's my hearts desire to be close to you cause here in your arms i'll find my strength.
your love is pure your love is precious your love is all i need
your love surrounds me your love astounds me your love is everything.
i run to you my heart is weak i cling to you your all i see
it's my hearts desire to be close to you cause here in your arms i'll find my strength
When we find that place in Him and realize that He truly is all we need, then we are in position to receive all His blessings for every aspect of our lives, exceeding abundantly, the key is staying in that place thru intimacy and quality time with Him, I have just finally got back to that place where nothing else matters, but then He fixes everything!!
Good song sister It stirred me to seek Him more!!!!
Just wanted you to know that you have been in my thoughts & prayers today, Cindy.. Hope your first day at your new job is going well..
Love you, Sis..

Praying for you right now Irene. Praying for peace, protection for your home, and complete healing for your husband. Lord, I lift up Irene and her husband for your loving care. Wrap your loving arms around them, fill them with your perfect peace and presence where nothing can harm them, where no illness exists, where light shines away all darkness. I ask for peace and perfect restoration on this family Lord. Strengthen them, guard them and bless them. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
I've been in my school of supernatural ministry for the last three days. Oh my, oh my. This is going to be a GREAT learning experience for me. I'm so excited about it - already I've been stretched in amazing ways. Yesterday, one man had gold dust appear on his face. I've seen some pretty off the chart things in my old days, but I've never, ever seen anything quite like that. I walked away feeling so blessed, so close to God, so humbled. God is good.
Later today my husband and I will celebrate our 12th anniversary at Olive Garden. I'll have to starve myself until then so I can have some pasta .
Hope everyone has a great day. I love you all! Ral
Irene, I am praying. Be strong. Don't grow weary, or fearful. The Lord is your Protector, and He is the God that heals you (husband). I am concerned and praying.
I'm beyond tired, but had to drop by to tell you briefly of God's goodness. It would take 3 pages to tell of ALLLLLL He has done. My first day the dining room manager told me she wants to make me a supervisor down the road. The residents seem to like me a lot and say the nicest things to me. God is pouring ideas into me as to how to make it a better place, more efficient. I'm not able to say more now. Too much to do, and too tired to put things into words well. I have to say - God has been amazing!
Much love to all of you.
Thanks again, pc for posting "Pure". Have you found the other one? No pressure.
