Strength

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (II Corinthians 12:8-10 NKJV)



I feel I have become weak in one, but shall have strength another....kp

Thru the rain!

As I returned to work today, I had a lady there stop and share with me that the other night she woke from her sleep and just had a burden on her heart for me. She felt the need to pray right there and then for me to be able to get some sleep.  Now, I don't know what night that was but I have been able to sleep all night without a facial spasm for seven days now( first time in 15 weeks!). As I see the sincerity in her eyes and her voice I grab her and hug her with tears flowing!
I cry not just out of the true thankfulness of the prayer and sleep that I now have, but my heart leaped at knowing this sister listened to that still small voice, she felt the spirit move her for prayer and she acted upon it. She sacrificed just alittle time of Her sleep to obey God and pray for me!

You know thru this trial I find it can be easy to get weary and worn, but each day my spirit has grown stronger due to seeing the love from others, seeing How God has used and spoken thru others that love Him.
This may be one trial that sure has been a long one, but each day I'm witnessing a blessing, a closeness to Him. Each day He has allowed me to see Him or hear Him in some way.

I thank Him for all the people who have prayed for me, may they be blessed, for those that have taken time from their own lives to drive me, prepare food for me to be able to eat and just to encourage me!

Thoughtout this day it seems the tears flow very easy just thinking how blessed I have been thru this trial!

It's like seeing the beauty of the flower thru the rain!


He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. (Psalms 91:4 NKJV)

Don't be afraid to stand there and cry, sister!

I am proud and moved deeply to know a child of God that is so mightily filled with the spirit that the tears flood, uncontrollable ! Sisters, do not be shy or ashamed to cry when serving, speaking of or being spoken to about our Lord and His works.  Tears for Him is not a sign of weakness but of passion, love, concern for the lost, a Pureness, humbling, rejoicing and weeping!

In pastimes, I would not speak much to others concerning Him, just due to my lack of ability to control the overflowing of tears and emotion! "How would I ever truly serve Him", I would wonder!
But overtime I have found He gives me strength when needed and loves each tear that falls!

So CRY sisters, let them tears flood, but do not ever be ashamed of that passion for the Love of our Christ Jesus!


I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. (Psalms 9:1, 2 NKJV)

God is AWESOME!

Life is funny and God is soooo amazing!!!
How this can be one of the most painful days of my life and at the same time ones of my best days of my life!!! You may ask why??     I got to witness one of my best friends come to The Lord !!!!


King James Version (KJV)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

For just a short version of the last thirteen weeks I have suffered from a great deal of pain from the left side of my face having spasms! And today,  was one of the worst and so after having the 19th shot into my face and a long ride home, my friend is now my sister in Christ!!! Amen, praise The Lord , hallaluha!!!!

I have wondered!  why???? Have I hurt.  why!?
Now I know!

I love this song by jj heller I just heard this week

" I don't know what Your doing, but I know who You are!"

I may not always know Gods plan but I for sure know who He is!! And I know that as long as I obey Him, and continue to walk with Him thru such hard, Lonely, scary, depressing times that His glory will reign thru and I will always worship His name no matter!






Thank you dear Heavenly Father, for this day, I praise your name, I pray dear Lord that you guide my friend, you lead her in the way she is to walk for you and I pray for her family that they too may someday soon walk in your way, Lord I pray you  guide me in the words I say and in my actions that I may show love and compassion! I pray I may see thru your eyes and not my own! This is pray in Jesus name- amen
