At The Feet of Jesus

We went to Albany Vineyard last evenging and this picture was up on the screen with the words of the worship songs on it. Harold and I both really liked it so I got on the web today and found it. It is beautiful. The word was good last night. There was one thing the speaker said that really stood out to me and that was. "God wants us to go out into the world where He is not invited and take Him with us. " We can be as holy as we would like, but unless we are taking God out into the hurting world what good is it.

I had a wonderful day. My awesome husband, Harold, took his two daughters to the father daughter breakfast at the Church this morning. Nathan, my son took his daughter Kendra and his wife, Bobbi was taken by her father. Nathan text me this am and I think he was feeling sorry for me since I was the only one not going but I text him back letting him know it was okay since my dad was having breakfast with Jesus and His Father.
We had our "Power of a Praying Woman" group this am and Vicki had the most incredible worship music it took us all right to the feet of Jesus. Then Shirley shared on Chapter 8 and it was great. The only problem is we ran out of time.
That reminds me I am so amazed how time goes by so fast. I know that God has a destany for me and am just starting to get what it is for the moment. Harold and I both have been praying about what we are to be doing and we have come to agree that for the time being we are to be like Mary and sit at the feet of Jesus and just soak up His presence. This of course if had for both of us since we are much better at being Martha, but I do know that we can do all things throught Christ Jesus who give us strength.
I am so blessed to have a husband who has a heart for God. May the peace of God be with you today.

Surrender

Some times it is hard for me to be disciplined in any area of my life and as I was praying about why I am not committed to be in the word every day and why I am not committed to lose weight and become healthy I came upon these five reasons. It now has become time to makes 5 decisions that will change my walk with God and my health. I need to trust that God has my best interests at heart. The big word here is trust that God can and will be here for me in all my circumstances.

These are the 5 decisions I have decided that I need to make to be all I was meant to be in Christ Jesus.

1. Be truthful (to God and to myself)
2. Be forgiving (all those who trespass against me especially myself)
3. Be committed (to be all God has for me to be)
4. Be interested ( in all things of God and in myself)
5. Surrender ( surrender all things to God even the things I keep locked up in my messy room that I don't let anyone see that lurks in the background all the time)

To start off I wrote a surrender statement to God.

Here is my statement;

I surrender today to you God. I am going to be all You intended me to be Father. Father help me to not give up when things get hard. Show me how to press thru no matter what and most of all Father give me Agapeo love for You, the same as You have for me. Lord help me to lay all things at your feet. Oh thank you God for being my strength and my refuge. I am the one you love and died for thank you Jesus.

I hardest thing for me is to be forgiving of myself and feel worthy of Gods love. I know in my head that this is not true, but I now want that to be a known fact to me in my heart.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11

If you have been fighting a losing battle for years and are ready for a change consider writing a surrender statement to God and saying it every morning before you do anything, to help you stay on track.

My husband and I went to the Christian Renewal Center this weekend and it was so peaceful. It was nice to just spend quite time with God. Be still and know that I am God Ps 46:10 what a hard thing for me to do. My mind goes a hundred miles an hour for the most part. As I was going thru scripture the thought of Faith came to mind and I just could not get it out of my mind so I wrote this little poem.

Faith

Oh how beautiful is faith, God has given us a gift that is unspeakable.
The trees sing of His mercy, the mountains speak of His love.
The flowers bloom with His Glory.

Being filled with the knowledge of His will.
Bearing fruit in all things
Seeing the unseen to be the Truth of God

The sound of children’s laughter soaring
The sound of a lullaby
The sound of a Daddy’s comfort

The wind caressing your skin
Yet not able to see it
Yet all the time knowing it is there

Seeing the unseen beauty in all things of God
How lovely is Your dwelling place O God
Having my heart and flesh cry out for the Living God

Knowing that the Word of God will always stand for eternity.

My grandaughter got burned real bad just before Christmas and it has been a long hard road getting her well. She is still having to go to the burn center for compression bandageing starting the 11th of February. She is a real trooper. I have been parying for her to be filled with the Holy Spirit since I first held her in my arms when she was 5 minutes old. I know that she has a great relationship with God and alway will.
