Reflecting on the last days of Jesus’ life and the miracle of His resurrection…

The first day.

Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.

Today I learned that my aunt passed away. She was always so kind to me and always greeted me with a sweet smile, hugs and kisses, even when I got older and would only see her every few years. I keep thinking of how she would always remind me that she and I have the same birthday. I loved hearing her say that when I was a child; perhaps it was just that she made me feel so special like we had a unique and special connection because we shared the same birthday. I don’t know, I guess it seems silly thinking about how excited I would get about her as a child. As we grow older we don’t think it’s so important to hear those same things over and over until the day comes when that person is no longer with us to say those words. I’ll hold on to those words and seeing her sweet smile and the warmth that I still feel when I think of her kind heart . Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.

God has given me purpose!

God has given me purpose! I didn’t understand why I was called away from the only real church I knew and felt comfortable and loved? Why was I being called out of my comfort zone and into a place where I knew no one!?? Well as I’m looking back I see that God was answering my prayers about serving and pouring into His Kingdom! And I believe that He needed to get me away from everything and everyone that I was clinging to, so that I could hear Him, I mean really hear Him! I believe He also wanted me to come up higher and expect more from Him. My thinking was too small for what God has planned for my life! It’s amazing what the Lord will do through you and for you when you step out in faith and obedience! Obedience is key!...I have discovered my purpose! Grace & Peace

God is preparing each of us to be the vessel He wants to use in the life of another person...

I read this today and it fits with what I believe God is speaking to me… "Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah"... - 1 Samuel 22:5 When life beats down on us and we get to the place where we want to hide in a cave, God often places people around us who prod us into moving in the right direction. He does not want us to remain in the place of discouragement. He wants us to move into the land of "praise." Judah means "praise." "You must keep moving! There are too many who are depending on you in the Kingdom." I didn't totally understand what he meant at the time. Now I know he was saying that God is preparing each of us to be the vessel He wants to use in the life of another person, but we will never be that vessel if we give up and hide in our cave of discouragement. Not only must we keep moving, we must move into a new realm. Our attitude must move from discouragement to praise. It is when we move past discouragement ...
