always learning...

Things that I learned this week and things that I love:

I loved the sweet morning I had with the Lord yesterday. I was fixated on a passage of scripture - something that Bill Hybels calls 'saturation reflection' - and the more I read it the more it just pierced my heart with deep emotion. God began taking me back to my 9 year old self and just showed me the love I had for Him even at that young age. He was teaching me about a child's heart and the sincerity of my profession of faith during the early years of my life. I saw the sweet love I had for Him and saw how small it was in comparison to the abounding love that He had for me. I know without a shadow of a doubt that the decision I made 40 years ago was true and it was binding. I became His child at that time and even though it took me many years to begin to grow, I had salvation at the very moment I believed and professed His name. Thank you, Jesus, for your everlasting love for your priceless gift of Salvation and eternal life.

I love my husband with all of my heart. He is faithful and true and He loves me even when I am not very lovable.

"If we are walking in God's will, we will experience God's power"

"God's power is what propels the mission He has called us to.

Regardless of where we're headed, the power is not ours

to provide; it's His. The Spirit of God propels us."

Sin doesn't mix with the Holy. Mixing the Holy with the profane only leads to destruction.

"But unto every one of us is given grace according

to the measure of the gift of Christ"

(Ephesians 4:7)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I wait on the Lord to reveal to me the next step He has for me, I rest in the assurance that whatever it is and wherever it takes me, He will be right there with me. He never calls us to a place that He won't go before us. So I sit and learn to be still and listen. I open my ears to receive, my heart to hear and my spirit to discern His precious voice. Speak Lord, your servant is listening....
