Now Smile

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

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.

The Love Walk

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

Love ~ Life ~ Adoption

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
