Beloved–
Isn”t it wonderful to know that our Lord God is in complete control and that He loves us anyway?
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Beloved–
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of FLESH. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. – Ezekiel 36: 26-27
Those who know who they are, know where they are going. This is not rocket science, I just need keep my eyes on the Lord, he will do the work. He has taken out my heart of stone and given me a heart of flesh and blood…His blood!
I pray daily for you to know that you know what you know!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
I cry out:
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help? Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer. Every night you hear my voice, but I find no relief.*
Yet you are holy and I can praise you:
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever*
I continue to pray for you each day that, like me, even though you feel abandon you KNOW without any doubt YOU ARE NOT and you can praise our God and Father.
Luv Ya!

Beloved–
I spent the last 10 months reading through the Old Testament. I spent a lot of time saying, “oh wait, that was me once” as I marveled at how blind the Israelites were to God’s plan for them.
God’s plan for me today is clearly spelled out in the first 9 chapters in the book of Proverbs. I learn best by repetition; so it took me several times rereading those 9 chapters for me to begin to recognize (the spirit speaking) the framework of his will for me. I really wanted to understand God’s will for me (I’m a control freak); I’ve always needed lots of structure.
I pray for you everyday to know that God has your back and he is not going anywhere!
Luv Ya!
