There is a Higher throne...

Right now I feel very melancholy. Sigh...I wish I had money or I wish God would change my current circumstance or I wish I would could be at my best friend's wedding. I wish sometimes, that I could change past failures.

I admit I struggle with doubting that God has a plan. I struggle with faith that He works things out. I struggle with the fact, God sometimes is silent.

But I have to remind myself that praise be...there is a Higher Throne. I mean I have a Higher Throne that sees all. There is a God up there Who cares and I pray someday will make His interests known in the entire process of my life.


"One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple...When You said, 'Seek My face,' my heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”...Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!" ~Psalm 27:4, 8, 14

Merry Christmas

God bless each of you as you celebrate Jesus, this Christmas. Last night as my family sang Silent Night by candle light, at New Hope's Christmas dinner, I was reminded of how much the love of Jesus is radiant and because of His love I can celebrate Him. Jesus is the One who validates me and that has become clearer and clearer to me each Christmas. May this year, as we fellowship in our homes, with each other, and as we go out in the world, celebrate the love of Jesus. Praise God....

The Fellowship of the Unashamed



I am part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed."

The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line.

The decision has been made. I am a disciple of

Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down,

back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present

makes sense, and my future is secure.

I am finished and done with low living, sight walking,

small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams,

chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.



I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position,

promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I now live by

presence, lean by faith, love by patience,

lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace

is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my

road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few,

my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought,

compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back,

diluted, or delayed.



I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the

presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy,

ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander

in the maze of mediocrity.



I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until

Heaven returns, give until I drop, preach until all know,

and work until He comes. And when He comes to get

His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.

My colors will be clear.



I am not ashamed of the gospel . . . Romans 1:16

This is very convicting. Is God glorified in my life? Do I find that Jesus is the most satisfying to me? Makes me think what's going to last for eternity in my life?
