It's Been A Long Time...

It seems to have been a long time since our last meeting. I want you to know that sometimes life happens and it doesn't mean that I am neglecting you or trying to reject you. I've just been really Experiencing God and on a mission to write a book for Him. I've been busy asking women for their testimonies. Would you like to share yours? I'd love to read it. Just leave me a comment for point of contact or email me here, whichever is good for you; is fine with me too.
God has me on another journey also that I am so very excited about. I am trying to put it into words.  Our relationship with Jesus Christ is so very important and when others come into our lives we need to make sure He stays on the throne.  If we don't keep ourselves in check we could end up kicking Him off and that leads to trouble.  The Lord is sharing the love and friendship of a friend who Loves Him like I do and it is a wonderful journey of exploration, laughter, and much more.  Maybe you know what it is like to take things slow and easy, keeping God first in ALL that you do. For me, it wasn't so easy and I'm learning how to keep Him on the throne now. So far it is a wonderful journey. I can only say that I have never experienced this kind of joy and freedom EVER.
I am so very thankful that the Lord knows my heart and sifts all my request to His likings when I submit to His will.
Life seems to have slipped through my hands and as I look back, it has been a long process for Him. I wish I had surrendered to His will along time ago. However, if I had, I probably wouldn't have the friendships and HUGE family that I have now.
So, for the next few days I may be slow in sharing life with you,  but know that God is doing a great work in my life, I am enjoying Him and His will right now.
God Bless,

Noise...

Have you ever stood in a room and heard nothing but sound; noise? While in this room, could you hear your voice inside of you or was it drowned out?
Recently I have had an issue with noise.  The only time I was in a quiet serene place was five minutes in my vehicle.
Lately I've been watching TV more, listening to music more and sometimes at the same time. This can be overwhelming.  Then I wonder why I can't hear from God...hmmm?
So, I decided to turn off the radio, TV and the sound on my phone even. Then I noticed that some things began to change for me. I slept better, my mind was clear when i woke up, I had a clearer vision of my to do list, I could hear from God better, and I was more energized for the toiles of the day.
Perhaps that is why Jesus got away from the crowds so often and got away so early in the morning in the quiet. Maybe, with all that is happening in the world today, taking some quiet time is all we need to do.
You just might find out what you like to do besides taking a pill for your headache that was caused by all the noise.  You might finish reading that book you started last month. Who knows what changes might come in your life as it did mine.
You'll never know until you turn the noise down.
