I remember before I went to the doctor and found out I was Type 2 diabetic....I couldn't get enough to drink!!! My body craved WATER!! I had never been a very big water drinker.....so I should have known immediately that something was wrong...but not my thick skull!!!
So why am I so spiritually thirsty right now? Why am I craving His water! What is He making me search for?
I don't really know what right now...but I will be faithful, get deep into the Word and wait......
I know the sun will rise.......
I know that God's love will win and the land of milk and honey will flow.....
The lion will lie down with the lamb......
So I wait, knowing I have the promise of Heaven.....
And now for the boring stuff that I'm not sure anybody else reads, but I organizes my thoughts and helps me to seach myself!
Oh, you that know me, just know I had to have some music!
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
I know the Lord is there! I don't doubt it for a minute! If I am not close to God, it's not becaused He moved away!
The turmoil I am feeling is either because of something I have said or done, or He wants me to grow again! Must I go around the mountain again?
We are in search of a new pastor at our church. The pastor that planted our church chose to leave a year ago last July. We had already been dealing with the loss of his wife, and our dear friend....then that!
I thought the Lord had brought a wonderful man and his family to fill the spot, but it was not to be permanant. He did a wonderful job of helping us heal, but now we are close to the completion of the process of a new pastor. I pray so for the people on the team.....and am so thankful I wasn't one of them!
I don't know if this is where my thirst is, but I know the living water is there and I will be shown the light in His time............so I wait....
Who could say it better than Chris Tomlin in this song?
So I remember, He is ENOUGH!!!!
HE LOVES ME!!!!
HIS GRACE IS ENOUGH!!!!!
PRAISE GOD and THANK YOU JESUS! YOU PAID THE DEBT THAT WASN'T YOURS AND I COULDN'T PAY!!!!
