Taste The Refreshing Water Once you've tasted and been refreshed  By a drink of pure spring water  Pouring out from the rocks in the mountains No water will ever taste as good to you Years ago while hiking in the mountains of Canada, With my brother Mike and his wife Michelle We stumbled across such a spring  I can still taste it, ice cold and so refreshing Many today are in doubt  whether or not the savior has come Whether Jesus truly was and is Messiah... Or if there even is a true and living God Let me propose to you; it was no different  Back when Jesus was on earth...  Let me also say  He cared deeply then And    He cares deeply now  He cares t hat so many are hurting  And searching Desperately t o find a refreshing spring  To drink from Many in that  day watched as  Jesus loved them He loved them  By living with them in their homes And Giving them what they had need of And Teaching them a way to live that would caus

Keep Watch At The Door Of My Lips Palm 141:1-3 Amp "Lord I call upon you; hasten to me. Give ear to my voice when I cry to you (listen to me).  2) Let my prayer be set forth as incense before you, the lifting up of hands as the evening sacrifice. (1Tim. 2:8; Rev. 8:3,4)  3) Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips." I want my heart to be so confident that I run without hesitation to Him everyday and every hour. When I am faced with hard decisions and circumstances, I want my voice to cry aloud to Him  "Listen to me" As I read these verses above, my heart was impressed with the nature of this relationship between the Psalmist (David) and "The Father" (God.) It was quite  obvious there was no hesitation, fear, or anything within Davids' spirit keeping him from running to God for help. He was completely confident that "The Father" heard his prayer (his request).  I grew up Catholic,

Now Smile When I am unable to love someone because of jealousy Repentance is much needed  So how do I repent Lord To truly set my heart free To break out of these chains that are wrapped so tightly around my heart How will I ever truly be able to love in the same manner Jesus loves Be Kind Reach Out Speak kind words to and about her Set aside fears that say "I will never be good enough to be recognized" Quit performing  Follow my leading  I'm taking you somewhere great and exciting But Unless you keep your eyes on me you will get lost As long as you are seeking recognition In the place of me You will never be able to get where I want to take you It's ok to NOT be the best  Consider This No one is the best Because everyone is individually created  To be her best And there is only one of each of you NOW SMILE !!!! Acts 26:20 "...they should repent and turn to God performing deeds appro

Pupil ~ Learner ~ Disciple May I encourage you to keep digging down deep So that when your foundation is poured You will be able to stand when the storm comes And the torrent bursts No matter what size of storm comes Or When the torrent bursts against  you my child   You will not be moved You will not run away But will stand fast against this enemy,t his one that is trespassing  The older I get The deeper I realize I need to dig   So that my foundation will  support me  When the storms Come Teach me Lord To be a learner, a pupil,  Your disciple I place myself under your instruction You are my teacher I want to be fully trained Repaired and restored By your touch Thank You Father, I am yours Terry Scriptures I referenced Luke 6:40 A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. Luke 6:47-48 Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them,

The Love Walk My youngest daughter pictured above was taught something called the "Love Walk" while living at a ministry "Wellspring for Women" And it seems ever since she's come home,  whenever I am struggling with an offense or a difficult situation she gently reminds me, "Mom, the love walk". She even gave me a gift of 1Corinthians 13  magnets for the fridge "The Love Walk". So one night when I was struggling she said "ok it's time to put up the love walk magnets" So we did. And as she began to recite we found every word of 1Corinthians 13 and placed them in order on the fridge. As we read it I knew it was going to change me or at least give me the opportunity to. So here is what love is and  isn't...LOL Love is patient Love is kind and is not jealous Love does not brag and is not arrogant Does not act unbecomingly It does not seek it's own (Mmmm) Is not provoked(wow, ok) Does not take int

My Picture in 1973 Love ~ Life ~ Adoption My Story I want to write about a love so dear to me, until now, at 59 years of age I have not been able to fully understand, nor have I been able to give an accurate description of. This  wonderful love came to me on a night in 1973 when I was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. My mind was racing with so many thoughts. I found myself walking downstairs to the bedroom door in the foyer of this beautiful old house I'd been calling home for the last 5 months. I knocked on the closed door. There behind the door came forth the sweetest voice "Come in dear" it was as if she was expecting me. Just the sound of her voice  brought a fresh wind of love and acceptance to my aching heart. I opened the door and there sitting on the side of her bed she beckoned me to come sit as she patted the mattress with her hand. Although I was not aware of it This was the moment that marked the day I would begin a new life and

If My People This last week has been a very tumultuous time in my spirit with  all that's been taking place here in my land, the USA. Yesterday when I returned home from intercessory prayer I was so grieved over the state of our Nation here in America and also the world, that I could not stop crying. I asked my husband Russell if we could just take a drivel I began to share with him all that was on my heart; The Druze people that were seeking asylum, our own country no longer standing with Israel, the South Carolina people whose families were murdered during their bible study, Our Supreme Courts decision to change what God has ordained for marriage being between one man and one woman. And it all felt like a landslide of attacks that couldn't be stopped. I also shared with Russell how in the midst of us praying for all these things and others how God started to encourage all five of us women with specific and personal words that only He could know. He truly hit the

Take Me To Higher Ground For a few weeks now I've seen a lot of turtles crossing highways with many casualties smashed on our roadways here in Texas. I realize they are looking for higher ground, trying to escape the flooded areas due to seven weeks of constant rain. Yesterday while driving home I found myself thinking about how I am when my life is flooded with difficult situations, how I feel the need to escape (to higher ground), yet many times not able to, I've had to stay put and just learn to swim. There has also been times I've cried out to God and He has taken me to a higher place, by removing me out of it or dissolving the situation. You see He knows when to reach down and when to let me swim. However I have found that when I am willing to let Him lift my spirit high above the circumstances I find myself in, I realize I soar far above the floodwaters, and feel the wind of His peace wash over me. It's at that moment I know He has taken me to hi

A Heart at Peace Do you believe what I tell you is truth? If you answered yes  Then believe me when I tell you I have given you peace To keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus What this means to you my child Is that I have placed peace To stand and guard Your heart and mind. This supernatural peace will allow you To face every situation that comes And not be overtaken or ruled by fear and doubt Nor will you become paralyzed  And unable to function Talk to me Tell me e verything   Let me help you Let me guide you through your day Give me all your burdens You were not made to carry burdens No more than a fawn could carry The mules pack So hand them all over to me  In exchange  I will give you peace Philippians 4:7  Proverbs 14:30 Psalm 55:22  Matthew 11:28-30

Road Trip to Hope Acts 2:25-26 ...'I foresaw the Lord always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.' How important it is for me to keep my eyes focussed on something promising rather than what is all around me when the problems and stresses of life appear. 'Hope deferred makes the heart sick...' (Proverbs 13:12) "Where is your hope my child?" "What are you hoping for this morning?" I want you to know I have many gifts  I've chosen just for you Yes, and every one of them are beautiful  and have your name written on them I don't take lightly  That you've given your heart to me Therefore I need you to outstretch the hands of your heart and receive all I have for you  Don't worry that you cannot see them The gifts I have are supernatural  I've placed them inside your

Spoken By You Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth? Lamentations 3:37-38 It is not I who can speak anything and expect it to come to pass  just because I've spoken it Not healing Not blessing Not cursing of evil Not even praise can pour forth from my heart  Oh God If it were not for Holy Spirit  giving it wings to take flight I am nothing without You  Oh God My God It is You who command the blind to see It is You who command demons to flee and my spirit to praise You  For I can do nothing unless You are in it Unless You direct it You are the Author and Finisher of my faith You are the only true and living  Almighty God All things are from you All things are Spoken into existence by You Oh God my God Grant me entrance into your presence  Where all things are possible  Where nothing is allowed to be loosed
