Hi my dear brothers & sisters in Christ;
WOW; again months have passed and so very much has changed!! How could one ever imagine the turns one life will take! Praise God He does not allow us to view our future before we are ready for our 'present'!!
My last post was on May 21, on June 3 I met my soon to be husband!! no wonder the house fell through and I did not get the job at the Sheriffs Dept! God HAS A PLAN and A PURPOSE for MY LIFE!! LOL imagine that!!
Jer 29:11 NKJV - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer 29:12 NKJV - Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Jer 29:13 NKJV - And you will seek Me and find [Me], when you search for Me with all your heart.
how easily we 'each' forget the promises the Lord made to EACH of us individually. He is so amazingly GOOD, beyond MY comprehension.
'let my life be the proof, the proof your love' how you lived , how you died, ..... (song by king & Country)
I am now married, living in a small community in MT. What changes my life has taken on, When I left NC in the spring of 2011, how could I have imagined THIS?? He has continued to express to me, 'do not fear, be brave & courageious'
I've had emotional times, challenging times, and times of AWE at how absolutely amazing our God TRUE LY IS. I'm very excited to be on this path, HIS path, and to see what He will do in the months to come!!
I've continued in my reading.. slow progress as I tend to do 'other' bible studies, but as I continue in 2 Chronicles, I am constantly reminded that IF we will OBEY the commands of the Lord, He will bless us, but if we turn from our God, then destruction will come. God can not protect us when we are outside of His will, He can not bless us if we are disobedient children. He can, and thankfully does, correct us, discipline us according to His good & perfect will for our lives. When we realize that ALL we are is His, when we submit to Him, we rest in the knowledge that He 'protects, directs & corrects' us for our own good, that the Lord wants to bless us, THAT is why He obeyed God, He took MY punishment for MY sin. oh yes, I am a sinner, each one of us is;
Isa 53:6 NKJV - All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
(thank you Jesus for going to the cross, for taking my sins upon yourself)
Each morning as I sit and have coffee, the quietness of this beautiful valley overwhelms me. The animals are so amazing. Each day, there are dear in our yard, does & fawns.. some still having their spots! I've walked in the yard to get 'a closer' look at the Elk in the pasture below our place, and while walking in our yard, notice on the fence post by the pine tree, an OWL sitting there, haha WATCHING ME... to cool... weird to see how an Owl can turn his/her head around and the look in their eyes.. WOW... AWESOME I tell you!
The various little birds that live in groups that come in our yard to eat the berries and bugs .
here is a touching story;
about 2 months ago, a doe was hit and killed near our driveway, she had a milk bag & we wondered at her baby, I believe I even prayed for it. Then about a week ago, as we were approaching our driveway, a doe & fawn ran across the road behind us, I turned to watch them, they suddenly stopped in the next field, and were looking ahead, focused, so I followed their gaze, & I saw an older dear and fawn laying in the field.. all of a sudden the fawn jumped up and RAN to the doe & other fawn, and immediately began nursing from the doe. What a moment when I realized this doe had adopted the orphaned fawn. The other adult doe continued to lay in the grass, as if she was the 'baby sitter' ... I felt so blessed to be able to view this scene of nature, and Gods provision. He says: Mat 6:26 NKJV - "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?I am so thankful God is patient with me, I must remember to be thankful in & for ALL things ... even when I do not 'feel' thankful.. Let's face it, somethings are more difficult to be thankful for than others, yet that is what we are called to DO; BE THANKFUL...
Col 3:15 NKJV - And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Psa 100:4 NKJV - Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, [And] into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, [and] bless His name.
Psa 116:17 NKJV - I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.
When we are obedient to be thankful, peace does rule our hearts for we realize, we really do not have anything to fear, for we are HIS. He is our King. He set us free from bondage, shouldn't we be thankful for that??
Jos 1:9 NKJV - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God [is] with you wherever you go."
Rom 8:31 NKJV - What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?
AMEN; PRAISE BE TO THE KING MOST HIGH
I will post some pictures of this magnificent valley, and the creatures that live here.. haha including myself!
May our Lord bless each of you this day as you seek His face in ALL you think, say & do according to His good & perfect will for your life. Amen
