Walking





Walking

I know now that I have the blessings of God even though I've had times in my life that I did not walk closely with Him. It proves to me that He alone knows what is is in my heart, even when I don't. The words I've spoken in anger and sometimes even rage He covered; my actions that look like the depravity in the world; He covered. And even today at 54 years of age I am still able to walk in my flesh and not in His Spirit and that too, He covers. I recognize and know I still am in this journey and I sometimes wonder " Will I ever have victory over these things I struggle with daily... My irritability and quick on the draw with unkind words tossed in the air like flaming arrows that seek to take down all in their path. My humanity so fragile, HIS SPIRIT SO STRONG. Come Holy Spirit fill me, consume me, overtake me until my walk looks like His.

Galatians 5:16 I say then walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Deuteronomy 6: 1-5
Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you-'a land flowing with milk and honey' Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all you heart, with all you soul, and with all your strength.
And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way when you lie down, and when you rise up...

Blessings, Terry

A Threatening Storm

  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when we got to the final appo

Reset  Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved... Lord Clear my spirit of the invasion of my soul and it's soulish, selfish ways. It  seems to be my default. Your ways Lord, your high and lifted ways, seem unreachable this morning; and then you whisper, "It's the distractions of everything around you that wants to carry you away from my presence." "I know Lord, I'm fighting to stay, to surrender it all." Then I remember, this battle is yours not mine, this battle to just be still in your arms. "Oh my beloved, how can I live in this torn up world and not be distracted by all the noise?" Take me away my bridegroom King, set me atop the mountain of your heart, deafen my ears, and reset the default of my heart to your voice alone. The Bridegroom King 5)Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tr

The Miracle and Gift

  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of the  multitude of heavenly hos
