That all things work together for His good. (Romans 8:28) That God may be glorified in my life. As I grow in Him and trust Him with His perfect will. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.(Romans 12:1-2)
I think a lot of times, when we are going through a hard thing and trying to trust God we don't see that God knows all and see's things that we don't see. Sometimes, we don't see past the end of our nose. May we come in thankfulness that He see's things and knows all and has a plan.
Praise Jesus....
thoughts upon a happy day...
Happiness...what is true happiness? Is it eating chocolate or just talking with friends? Happiness is to me truly loving the Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind...I pray this blog will be a tool used by God of what it means to have true happiness upon a happy day...

seeking God....
Yes, we have a God who understands our greatest fears. It is a pleasure to know that God understands and desires to meet us in our inadequacies. Thanks be to God Who upholds us with His powerful hand in the midst of everything.
I am grateful.
I am grateful.

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....

fellowship of the unashamed
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
