The storms of life are coming, I'm so glad to have Jesus on my side. Sometimes He whispers peace be still. Sometimes I just have to ride them out. I like to read the scripture that tells of the deciples crossing the sea with Jesus,
 Mark 4:35   And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 36   And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37   And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38   And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
 9   And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40   And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
 41   And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Sometime this is me. But He never has left me. He never has let me go. I can always trust Jesus through my storm. If your going through a storm Friend, trust Jesus  " Matthew 28:20   Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

I am thankful today for a God I can see, here, feel, know and who walks with me daily. I appreciate His presents in my life. I appreciate the intervention of Grace and Mercy when I deserved justice and judgment, Jesus gave Mercy and Grace. I haven't made it yet, But I believe He is who He said He is and I know He made a salvation plan to redeem us back to the Father. For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man hath, [and] not according to that he hath not. II Corinthians 8:12. KJV I've always felt guilty when people would have to go out of there way for me or doing things just for me. But It seems I have felt the presents of the Lord more and more over the past few weeks and I thought as I traveled to church tonight, how I didn't feel guilty about that. Because He didn't deprive not one person of anything to spend time with me, He didn't have to leave no one out, He is big enough  to do everything all at one time, ALL the time. How Awesome is our God. Jesus died for my sins and yours, sent back the Holy Ghost as a comforter (for you and me), when He ascended back to Heaven, sent angels as ministering spirits for the heirs of salvation,(that's you and me) Angles encamped about His children, (again, you and me) and the more I read the better it gets. Thanks you Lord, what else could I say.

 I Love the Lord and people and I want to go to Heaven and help who I can. People have helped me. Sometimes in my life it has been spiritual and sometimes it has be with financial. But God has always supplied and He has always let me know even when I can't see or feel Him, He is with me. Hebrews 13: 5 He assured me of this. Let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee not forsake thee. Then again in Matthew 28, I am with you alway, even until the end of the world Amen. I love Hebrews 13: 8 where He tells me that "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." Now that is someone you can depend on. I hope if you get to this blog you fine some words of comfort & encouragement, know there is someone praying for you. As we roll on toward the end and this country gets more vile and wicked It makes me want to get that much closer to the Him and a greater longing for His coming.God bless and don't ever let go.

Sometimes I take a walk up Calvary's Hill. I think about the old rugged cross. I don't picture the pretty crosses you see people wearing. I think of splinters, heavy, ruff cut timbers. I think how hard it was for the Lord to carry. I know it was my sin on top of all that wood that made that cross so heavy. I think about the steps He took after being brutally beaten. I think about all the shame we put Him through. I think of the agony of hanging there for six hours. I wonder why He'd love someone like me. I wander why someone who knew every sin I would commit, knew that I would live so long in sin before turning to him, yet He loves me so. It is such an awesome thought to know someone would love me that much. I really like that song by the Cups Unconditional Love. Oh how true it is. I also like what Corrie Ten Boom said when she said It's not in the Bible, but I like to think that at the sea of forgetfulness there is a little sign that says NO Fishing! How very awesome is our God.
I wasn't there that day long ago, but my sin was. I'm thankful He paid my debt on that ole rugged cross. I'm thankful for the plan of salvation and that I can live with such a peace in my heart knowing I've been born again. I won't ever forget it.


Have you ever wished you could move away, new town, new friends, new name, new job, clean slate and try again. If not this might not interest you much. But if so, I got a clean slate when I was born again. I remember it was March of 2001, My husband and I was talking divorce. We were both miserable, but we loved each other so. I had started drinking a few years back and had gotten to the point of no return with out help. But the day I was saved I got that clean slate and that's just how it felt to. God delivered me of alcoholism, It was three weeks after I got saved when I happened to look over on my way home and saw that same old liquor store I had so often never passed up. but it had been three weeks since I had noticed it's existence again. God had kept me and held me so close and delivered me so completely I never wanted, craved, or desired it again.


 My husband got save in April on Easter Sunday that following month. Oh what a beautiful journey we have had and didn't even know God was such a marriage counselor to. On top of everything else He has done for us. He has helped us to grow and learn how to love Him and each other. There is no blog in the world big enough to tell all the thing He has done for us. But I'm gonna try to tell each week things He has done. I hope somebody gets some help like I did. Oh what Grace and Mercy bestowed on me.

God has blessed me today to be. He has kept me when I couldn't keep myself.
If this wasn't real and there was no Heaven to look forward to. This life would still be worth living. Oh the Joy, peace and contentment in my life is only made real by a God who cares what I am doing today. I love you Lord. And hope to hear you someday say. Enter in my good and faithful servant. I don't know how it all works but if I can I want to stand just inside the gate and yell,


YES! AND I"M HERE TODAY BECAUSE YOU KEPT ME.
