Trekking with Me

My soul finds rest in God alone, My Rock and my salvation, A fortress strong against my foes, And I will not be shaken. Though lips may bless and hearts may curse, And lies like arrows pierce me, I’ll fix my heart on righteousness, I’ll look to Him who hears me. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. Find rest, my soul, in God alone Amid the world’s temptations; When evil seeks to take a hold I’ll cling to my salvation. Though riches come and riches go, Don’t set your heart upon them; The fields of hope in which I sow Are harvested in heaven. O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward; Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God. I’ll set my gaze on God alone, And trust in Him completely; With every day pour out my soul, And He will prove His mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, A sigh too brief to measure, My King has crushed the curse of death And I am His forever. O praise Him, hallelujah, M...

What a delightful morning.  God has met me in His Word. Period. Following my Bible reading guide, I had to finish up yesterday's assignment: Mark 14-16.  His Crucifixion. They hated Him because He was not who they thought God would be... they had their own version of what God was like, would be like, how He would come and save... Jesus was not him . So... they mocked Him, they beat Him.... they killed Him. Because He was not what they expected....  that could have been me.  Oh Father forgive me... "Oh God, Oh God... why have you forsaken me?"  Jesus Christ,  God came into that darkness... for me. Even when I walk through desert, dry, dead places... HE is with Me, with a prepared table full of goodness and love, anointing my head and filling my cup!! Oh How Good He is to me!   All from Mark 14-16; Psalms 21-23. Oh How I love Him.  My Cup Overflows. Somehow the song of the birds even seem more joyous this morning... Oh Glorious G...

I enjoyed my mini-vacation.  The first day offered a sweet quiet morning: I almost felt guilty for it. No schedule, no time table, no tv, no internet, nothing calling me to rush to be somewhere, no phone to answer... just a few hours in an empty house, sunshine to sit in, clear skies to run under, my Bible & journal and a few books to edify my mind and heart in Him. Tozer's book, The Pursuit of Man , offered me a good hearty meal.  The first chapter held delicious morsels of truth.  One phrase in particular:  " The man who would know God must give time to Him."   This one phrase of the many rich things in the chapter, was meant for me, from Him.  Oh, how I want to experience Him .   That won't happen if I don't make time for Him.  He is here... I never want to loose that awareness.  That is what gives Life.... Him: He gives me Life in Himself.  Romans 8 -- "how will He not also, along with Him , graciously give us all thing...

Happy Wednesday! Tomorrow I get to get on a PLANE!! I am a little excited.  Now..., to get a few loads of laundry done, install my new oven, clean my room, plan for my pets care.... the list continues but I will stop there.  I am looking forward to a few days with my dear sister (in heart), Sue and disengaging from "my world" here.  Not that "my world" is bad, I have just been running on overdrive and going away will offer a nice reprieve. :-) I may not even take my computer... maybe....we'll see. I wanted to blog about something God did last week.   He is so incredibly amazing.  :-) You know how it goes, you find yourself in a season of joy, happiness, strength.  Or at least that was what I have been experiencing since December-ish.  It's as if God opened up a joy window in heaven and deposited some on my heart/head: it's glorious! Yet, if you have been trekkin' with me here, this hasn't just "happened" - He has been doing som...

Last Valentine's day, God opened my eyes to see Love.  What Loving HIM, looks like... and how much I had not been loving Him.  It broke my heart, I wept with tears of repentance that I had not held Him in the highest regard in my thoughts and allows dark doubts to question His character.  Loving Him, Believing that He IS who He says He is really, all He asks of me - to Love Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.   That revelation was the point of transformation last year.  God, revealing to me, HE is so Good, He is Worth Patiently waiting, He is KIND beyond Words, He gives generous gifts, perfect gifts, delightful whispers of love, every single day.  He is too big for me to grasp but His Heart I can trust with complete and utter wild abandonment! He gives New Mercies Every Morning, He leads me in glorious, life-giving, TRUTH: His is my protector, my Hope, my sustainer - I WILL PRAISE HIS NAME ALL OF MY DAYS and Proclaim His Good Favor to all! ...

I love that I was chosen for a Blog Award :-)  From Shelby, my Birthday Twin . Receiving an award brings to mind a memory from my high school years when I would intentionally avoid receiving awards... because if you received a reward, you would have to walk the long, horrible, highly-visible walk up the auditorium stage where the principle would hand you a piece of paper, in front of all my classmates.  OH HORRORS!  The only reward I usually received was perfect attendance... and well, I knew how to take care of that....  Thanks and link back to the blogger who passed this award onto you Share 7 things about yourself Award 15 (or however many you want) other recently discovered great bloggers Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award 7 Things about Me ...hmmmm 1.  Someone complimented me on my hands and feet... and it has thoroughly gone to my head.  Someday I may model them. Well, ya know... it would  be a nice way to earn a little ex...
