Do It Again

        It’s been a long time since I’ve sat at my computer with the purpose of writing and sharing on my blog. I figured it didn’t matter much how much or little I shared since there weren’t too many people reading it anyway. I don’t have a lot of followers, so no one will miss me or what I shared if I stopped. That might be true, but stopping was wrong.

        I started Sharing the Journey because God told me He had given me the tongue of the learned that I should know how to speak a word in season to he who is weary. (Isaiah 50:4) He commissioned me to be a tool in His hand to turn the hearts of His people back to Him. He told me to share with others what He shares with me in order to encourage and edify and help His children fall in love with Him again; to seek Him with all their hearts.

        So I say respectfully, but with strong conviction, I’m not writing for followers or popularity. I write for God. I write the words He gives me with faith that He will send those who need to hear/read them. I write to honor and glorify my Father. I write out of love and obedience to the one who loves me.

        Yes, I want everyone to read these words because I want everyone to know and love my God. Still, my ultimate purpose (and this is to myself) is not to have a large following, but to honor and obey God. Therefore, I shall occasionally encourage my readers to share the words I write, believing that if they blessed you, they will also bless someone else. Most of all, I want to do the will of the One who loves me and called me and gifted me to write.

       

The Father’s Plea


Sitting in my living room

watching the morning slowly fade,

I reflect on the goodness of God

and the life for me He gave.

I stop and I reminisce

on His mercy and His grace.

I pause to tell Him thank you

and to commit to Him my day.

He immediately responds to me

and tells me what to do.

He tells me to turn my laptop on

and write a note to you.

The Father says He loves you

and He waits with outstretched arms.

He continues to call and pursue you

while protecting you from harm.

So many things He has for you

so much He wants to say

Hear His voice in these words

and surrender to Him today.

I Believe in Miracles, Because I Am One

For some time now it has been on my heart to share my testimony here but for reasons I dare not try to explain, I waited. Now I’m certain now it’s time. I don’t know who it’s for but I trust you will find these words at just the proper time and it will encourage your soul and strengthen your faith in The Father – no matter how your circumstances work out. I am the mother of two beautiful teenage girls, 19 and 14. I am also the mother of 8 others, sex unknown, who were never held in my arms but went straight to the bosom of Christ. When I had my first miscarriage, I allowed the enemy to make me think the baby’s death was punishment from God because he’d been conceived in sin. (You will notice that I refer to all of my rainbow babies – babies of miscarriage or still birth – as boys.) That’s another story all together but I no longer believe that lie.  Children are a gift from God and conceived in or out of His perfect plan, He loves them and would not allow their demise just b...

Letting Go

Today as I continue my journey, my walk with God, I had to take another hard look at my life and get real with myself. I also had to take a real hard look at those in my life who share this journey.  Actually, let me back up a bit. In trying to be more committed to the study of God’s Word, I’m doing a Beth Moore Bible study entitled, “ Jesus The One And Only” with my dear friend Sue. In the portion of lesson we went over today, I was challenged to consider who pours into my cup. Who am I looking to for fulfillment in life? Am I trying to be satisfied by someone other than Christ? Now we all have people who play a part in making us whole and I’m not knocking that, BUT what role do they play? am I / are you giving them a position that can only be filled by Christ? The consideration of that question is why I backed up after beginning in the sharing of this segment of my journey. I didn’t fully comprehend how much I allow others to influence what I did and said until I began ...

Confession of Belief

I don’t know how, and I don’t know when. But this I do know. God made me a promise, and it WILL happen. The how and the when are of no concern to me, because I have full confidence in the WHO. Numbers 23 (NKJV) says plainly, “ God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? ” Praise God! He is a promise keeper. There is no shadow of turning with Him. (James 1:17) Or real-speak, He doesn’t change! God has made me a promise and He will perform it. Like Abram, I tried to help God. I tried to go out and work and bring to pass what He clearly told me He Himself would do. I have since repented and now walk by faith. Now like, Abraham , I believe God. I recognize and acknowledge what is impossible with man is just right for God. He WILL do all He has promised. I also acknowledge that He will not do it because of my goodness or my righteousness or even because I possess great fa...
