Yes, no, wait

Beloved–

Psalm 37:4 says Take delight in the Lord and he will give you your hearts desire.

When I read that verse as young Christian, I said I delight in you Lord and this is my desire (I was veeery young).  I didn’t understand that God needed to work on my heart first; I had to learn what it really means to delight in the Lord.  

Today, 40 years later the Lord has answered my prayer.  My husband became an American citizen!

I pray for you to praise God for his willingness to prepare your heart to receive his loving guidance.

Luv Ya!

Lean Back

Beloved–

I am reading through the book of Psalms; I so  empathize with King David and his descendants. They begged God not to hold them guilty for their former sins and for his tenderhearted mercies; but quickly forgot to whom they belonged.  Psalm 79:8-9 and Psalm 80:18

I too, confess my mistakes and promise not to do it again then fall right off my promise.   My joy is that I know about God’s mercies because my sins are covered by the blood Christ shed for me.  John 3:16

I pray daily for you to be constantly aware of God’s presence (just behind your right shoulder..lean back).

Luv Ya!

INFLUENCE…you have it!

Beloved—

After listening to my pastor talking about how the enemy convinces us that less is best I’m all the more encouraged to pray for my legacy.  From the very beginning of my conversion I learned about the power of praise and prayer.

Reading the story of Hannah made me begin the practice of specifically praying daily for each of my children.  After having 4 boys I realized I needed to start praying for my daughters-in-law.  As I had daughters I began to pray for my sons-in-law (not as easy as daughters-in-law).  I have added grandchildren and now great grandchildren to my prayer list.  I pray that the enemy is defeated and that my legacy is a multitude.

My prayer for you is that you fall in love with the Lord Jesus as your savior and then that you choose to serve him wholeheartedly.

Luv Ya!

No more drama

Beloved–

Recently, I had an occasion to speak to teachers personally (who are believers); they were concerned about their struggle of keeping order during class time without major drama.  I pray for the teachers and their students (on my daily prayer list) would choose and serve the Lord because I believe that these children are our legacy for the Lord.

Pray using scripture; what could be better than using the word of God to pray?  Prayer can be a calming of our nerves, a relief from the enemy’s use of our fears against us as well as it can reinvigorate our point of view.

Beloved, my prayer is that you recognize the enemy when he attacks you and use scripture to defeat him.

Luv Ya!
