NEW BLOG

It has been several months since I posted a blog. I decided to start a whole new one so here it is.
I hope you will be encouraged and uplifted as I share what God is doing in my life and in the lives of others. After all, if we don't have Jesus, we don't have life. Please leave a comments and let me know what you think. That way I will know someone is reading.

The last several months have been a season of preparation and transition for me. Due to health problems, I have been pretty much homebound most of the time. This has given me all the time in the world to spend with Jesus and to get to know Him more and more each day. He has been doing a work on the inside of me. Each time I think He is done, He finds something else that isn't quite right. Have you ever noticed that? I have come to the conclusion that we will never be totally clean of all the impurities and imperfections that are in us.

I have come to know Jesus on a whole new level. It has been so amazing and so worth the time I have been "out of commission". No, it hasn't been easy at all. There are days that I get so aggrevated at how my life is right now that I want to quit. Then I will pick up the Bible, or hear a song, or hear a preacher say something to get me back on track. I thank God that He never gives up on us and how He gives us His Spirit to direct and guide us. I also thank God for all the times He has jerked a knot in our tails to get our attention!

So much has went on just the past couple weeks. There is no way I can write it all. I will say this much, God NEVER fails. He knows what you are and have been going through. He hasn't forgotten about you. It may seem that He isn't there and not listening to you. It may look like everthing is over. It is at that point that God steps in. It is at that point when you are at the end of your rope that God will turn things around completely. (That is if you have tied a knot in your rope and hanging on!!) It is at that point where your jaw drops to the ground in amazement. You know what God will do and you have seen Him do things over and over, yet each time it still amazes us when He steps into the situation.

I just finished reading a book by Judy Jacobs on Standing Strong. When you have done everything you know to do, STAND. You may have to stand there for days, weeks, months or even years. The main thing is that you stand and do not give up. If God said He will do something, He WILL do it. You can take that to the bank.

So my word to you for today is this, stand strong, keep your head held high and your focus on Jesus. He is literally all that you need.
