Marriage. “When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

GRACE (Laura Story)
My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused. I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.
Chorus: I ask you: “How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?” And you answer: ” My child, I love you. And as long as you’re seeking My face, You’ll walk in the pow’r of My daily sufficient grace.” At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job. For who am I to serve You?I know I don’t deserve You. And that’s the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on. Chorus* I ask you: “How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?” And you answer: ” My child, I love you. And as long as you’re seeking My face, You’ll walk in the pow’r of My daily sufficient grace.” You are so patient with me, Lord. As I walk with You, I’m learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I’m learning to simply obey You by giving up my life to you For all that You’ve given to me. Chorus: I ask you: “How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?” And you answer: ” My child, I love you. And as long as you’re seeking My face, You’ll walk in the pow’r of My daily sufficient grace.”

A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
“Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and...

” I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure.
I’m finished and done...

You know today was so weird, but I shouldn’t be surprised seeing as how that’s the norm as of late and yet I still am. I did relearn the importance of communication today though. Looking through my past I was always good at talking. Had an issue, dealt with it, at least I thought. I realized today...
“most of us simply try to ‘put things behind us,’ get past it, forget the pain as quickly as we can. Really – denial is a favorite method for coping for many Christians. But not with Jesus. He wants truth in the inmost being, and to get it there he’s got to take us into our inmost being….to go with him into the deep waters of the heart, uncover the lies buried down there, and bring in the truth that will set us free. Don’t just bury it quickly; ask God what he is wanting to speak to.”

People will come to you. Many of those times will be a period of transition into the unknown. After a few days of prayers you become weak, and you struggle, and you cry to God saying take me somewhere new! Bring me someone new! Another place please… Then all of the sudden your cries are heard, but...

Pastor Greg Laurie- Walking with Jesus through the storms of life.
It’s really easy to be faithful when things are going great in your life….the true test of your faith is the trials, tribulations and tragedies in your life. You need to learn how to maintain and strengthen your faith through life’s storms. Those storms will make your faith indestructible if you weather them with full faith and love for Jesus Christ.
I love this Bible study. If you have the time, it’s quite informative and so inspirational.

DARK LETTER PAY ATTENTION TO THE P.S. at the end. Letter from the Devil This can really make you think. It actually made me really mad while I was reading it, but it made me realize some things. Plus, I had to reblog it because of the P.S. This is deep… and I wasn’t going to forward...

Alphonsus Ligouri, eighteenth-century founder of the Redemptorists, wrote, “Persecutions are to the works of God what the frosts of winter are to plants; far from destroying them, they help them strike their roots deep in the soil and make them more full of life.”

Lord God I have never spoken to You,
But now I want to say “How do you do?”
You see God, they told me you didn’t exist
And like a fool I believed all this.
last night from a shell hole I saw Your sky,
I figured right then they had told me a lie.
Had I taken time to see the things You...

A friend emailed me this… I hope it makes you smile :)
When God breaks your heart it’s not because of something you did wrong, it’s because in the process of healing you, he found some cracks from the world that could not be repaired, unless he broke you down and started all over again.

Every year, in honor of this, the first day of class, I like to think about what it is that standard, 18 year old freshmen can’t know that seems obvious to me. In other words, I try to make myself aware of the profound gap in the life experience I have had, as someone born in the early/mid-60s,...
