EVERY tear…

“For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd.

He will lead them to springs of Life Giving Water.

And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.” Revelation 7:17

Every tear represents a loss, a past wound or painful memory.. something that causes grief or pain.

I believe God’s promise to you this season is that He is able to wipe every tear from your eyes,

even now…

David said in the book of Psalms that weeping may endure for a night but JOY comes in the morning…

So, I pray that if you’re not feeling the “joy” yet,

you will begin to experience the most awesome Christmas GIFT of all..

“The Presence of Jesus”

The most wonderful Christmas present possible!!!  In His Presence is FULLNESS of JOY (Psalms 16:11)

He can turn the most painful heartache around and make you laugh in a moment of time!

I’m here to tell you, HE CAN do this… He’s done it for me.  Believe..  receive.

For years I have wanted to take cello lessons….

……  This past year I actually started doing so. I began with a cello rental and much excitement as my instructor ran me through the beginnings of string plucking and then learning to drag the bow across the strings. It has been thrilling but I have found myself in battle. I battle with my pride that wants it all to sound perfect. No matter how much I talk myself along with being at peace, enjoying my time and doing all things in a place of contentedness with God; I still find myself cringing and getting so tense with each wrong note, each scratch of the bow along string like the sound of nails on a chalkboard. My family proclaims the encouraging, “Wow you are really progressing!” while I tell myself they are surely saying that because they have to and each note must be making them hold their breath wishing they were some place else.

Pushing through the Crowd..

This is just a short little word I got while putting my makeup on this morning… I saw people who are still wanting to hear Papa’s voice or hear Jesus speak to them and are having difficulty hearing. Continue reading →

Encountering Love…

My house is quite this morning. It is not normally like this but Angel-girl is not here today. I have the windows open. The weather is giving us a reprieve from the heat by blessing us with a cuddly grey sky. I have quiet worship playing and the fuzzy boy dogs are flanked on each side of me as I sit here on the couch with my (San Antonio Starbucks) coffee cup and you.  Hmmm….It makes me let out a contented sigh.

Excerpt from Charles Finney

Look, as it were, through a telescope that will bring it up near to you; look into hell, and hear them groan; then turn the glass upwards and look at heaven, and see the saints there, in their white robes, with their harps in their hands, and hear them sing the song of redeeming love; and ask yourself–Is it possible, that I should prevail with God to elevate the sinner there? Do this, and if you are not a wicked man, and a stranger to God, you will soon have as much of the spirit of prayer as your body can sustain.

—Charles Finney

Leg Grows Out – Major Healing!!

I’m not even sure how to begin telling the story behind what happened to Suriana and I.  From what I hear anyone who experiences it  usually is in the same boat.  Speechless.    Of course, since this has just happened to Suriana and I,  it’s shaken our foundation and let’s just say everything has fallen out of the cupboards and we’re putting everything back together again but this time with a clear mind and real, honest faith and belief in the impossible.
