Advent is Here
Do you ever just feel 6 years old? I did this morning when I came back to Advent...When I cuddled up on the couch after Russell had gone... advent together every morning is so special but do you remember being a kid?... longing for time... just you and daddy?... for me it was 5 kids, me being the second youngest, and the youngest girl, and there were times I just wanted to be alone with my daddy, just me and daddy...sitting together, being together, with no other... but him and me. And when I returned this morning to the advent reading and started singing silent night, it became silent, and I visited the hillside with the stars shining bright... it felt like a holy place, calm in the twilight under the bright stars and I was being called to come...✨come and be... just me and Him🌟

Keep Watch At The Door Of My Lips

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,...

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 h eart, 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 fle...

Light in the Darkness

I grew up thinking holiness was reserved for priests and nuns. I see the danger of this thinking is that we conform more and more to the world because holiness is unattainable; or not even considered as a goal to be desired or even thought about. However the opposite is true in God's word. "..Be holy, for I am holy" First Peter 1:16. So I have to conclude it is possible. How do we become holy? Let's read what Peter had to say... beginning in   1Peter 1:13-16  "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope freely upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lust, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy for I am holy."  I see the world getting darker and darker and yet the contrast between light (holiness) and darkness (the...
