He's given me a new day.  And PRAISE HIM, "His steadfast love never ceases".  "His mercies never come to an end".  Those mercies are new to cover my shamefulness every single new morning, 
and no matter where my heart wanders... GREAT is HIS faithfulness. (Lam 3:22-23)

Be prayerful for the people I do have in my life; Job 16:20-21: "My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; on behalf of a man He pleads with God as a man pleads for His friend"

Less procrastinating and pridefully analyzing with my own understanding, and more humility in trusting and acknowledging Him, prayer, and taking action with even the lighting of just one step ahead

Saddle up your horses

We've got a trail to blaze

Through the wild blue yonder
Of God's amazing grace

Let's follow our Leader
Into the glorious unknown
This is a life like no other
This is the great adventure

We'll travel over, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all, we'll find that
This is the greatest journey
That the human heart will ever see

The love of God will take us far

Come on, get ready to ride


(The Great Adventure, Steven Curtis Chapman)

God promises all that we need for life and godliness; with no exception. And when the Bible says all  that we need, it means... all ! Our good and gracious Father does not give us a little sliver of grace for obedience, and then leave us exhausting ourselves in futile attempts to draw strength from the well of self-effort. He gives the full measure of grace needed to victoriously live the Christian life, not just sometimes, not just when our “if only” ideals become reality. Right now, in your current situation and season of life, God has made available to you all that is needed for glad obedience. It is when we are relying on our own strength and power to obey, and not on the power of Christ, that we find ourselves failing and faltering! It is then, when we are tempted to shift the blame for disobedience onto our circumstances; it is then that we insist that we would obey “if only”. If you are not giving out of your little, you will not give out of your plenty. God d...

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. Dear children, let US not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth .  This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us.  For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.  And THIS is His command: to believe in the name of His son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us.  Those who obey His commands live in Him, and He in them.  And this is how we know that He lives in us: We know by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:16, 18-20 How do we set our hearts at rest in His presence, even when our hearts seem to condemn us?  Love one another.  Not with words or tongue, but wit...

Some of my many random thoughts tonight, after skimming through old website bookmarks... PRAYING THE WORD FOR MY HUSBAND I love structure and I love God’s Word. Put the two together and you have a beautiful thing when it comes to prayer. Here are seven Scripture-based prayers you and I can pray to God on behalf of our husbands. That he would be given the STRENGTH he needs to fulfill his mission. Mighty God, grant my husband courage and the ability to find His strength in you. I pray he would not fear nor be dismayed and He would remember that You are always with Him. Holy Spirit, strengthen him with power his inner being. (Ephesians 3:16; 6:10, Joshua 1:6-9) That our MARRIAGE would be strong. Jesus, show my husband what it looks like to love me as you loved the church. Help me to love and serve him with a submissive and respectful heart. (Ephesians 5:25-33) That he would THRIVE in his ministry and personal life. I pray that he would be rooted and g...
