He Knows What Is Best

2016-10-08-13-19-42The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel?
Fill your horn with oil and be on your way;
I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem.
I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”
1 Samuel 16:1 NIV

It seems as if God is always teaching us valuable lessons throughout life. He is God. He is good. He is sovereign.

God is always concerned about us following instructions.

Are the detailed? Yes! As detailed as they need to be to get you from point to point.

He first selects a king because the people cried out for one. Only to see that he would utterly fail God. How? By not following instructions.

He knows what is best. Continue reading


Words of Appreciation

img_0351This was very touching! I think one thing I keep noting is that words are so powerful. We can use them to tear down or to BUILD up!

This isn’t just a book! It is my testimony! It is MY life! This is about what God saved me from.

This is the detail of how God took me day by day and pulled me right into His presence.

I could only imagine a loving God thinking, “Saving she needs…saving I will do for her.”

Thank You God for hearing all my cries during the violent storms and wars of life. Continue reading


Loss of the Barren

img_9314My discourse with God is like this…

I am at a loss. Yes. In the midst of gain!!! Huge Gain!!!! I am in awe, not even certain how to compile some words of gratitude so that it makes sense. Look what You have done.

When I was rejected, You kept me.
When I was lost, You found me.
When I was laughed at, You encouraged me.
When I was weakened, You strength me.
When I was hurt, You healed me.
When I was broken, You rebuilt me!!!! Continue reading
