I have been going through some
“stuff”. Great stuff. Challenging stuff. Personal and deep
stuff. God is awesome and as the song says, “His love never fails, it never
gives up, it never runs out on me!”
I am jumping back in to the blog
today because I was encouraged by the following scripture and knew that you
could be too. I am also jumping
back in because a “sister of the heart” was innocently and unknowingly used to
bring conviction in my life regarding my writing. So hear I am, back in the water, sharing the purposeful
meanderings.
We just bought a new house and
it is a huge blessing and answer to many prayers. Currently, I am surrounded by
boxes, and white walls that could benefit greatly by COLOR! Lol! I also have spaces to fill with new
furniture, rugs, pictures, etc. I
have NO skills in the area of decorating and very few in the logical
organization of things. I’m O.K.
with that. I also, currently & temporarily have no paint/decorating
budget. It will come though! And
when it does, I have friends who have “the gift” of transforming spaces into
magical-ness!
I have also been experiencing
ZERO motivation to unpack, which is ridulousness when I consider how I have
longed for this moment of homeownership again! It is part of my “stuff”. I will tell that story sometime.
So I am a believer in praying
scripture OUT LOUD and Personalized.
There is a huge fight from the stinkin’ devil to have us feel silly
about this, not believe it helps, or just not do it. Well, if you’ve read anything about him you know this: he is
around to STEAL, KILL, DESTORY AND LIE to us. He wants us to have NOTHING that Jesus died to give us. If that ticks you off – then read the
verse and put YOUR NAME in the places where I put my husband Sandy’s and
mine. Then do it again and put
your loved one’s name in there. I
am telling you what – you will FEEL the power of this immediately. Yes, you will!
This is from Job 1:10 from the Amplified Bible. Now, don’t get all freaked out when you
read Job’s story, because everything turns out great and we all learned a lot
from it! Remember, I am
personalizing this for me. The
Word of God is customized for each of us.
When you find something in the Bible that you desire to have or experience or believe for you or someone else, make it yours and pray
it! Out loud.
“God, You have put a hedge about
Sandy and I and our house and all that we have, on every side! You have conferred prosperity and
happiness upon us in the work of our hands, and our possessions have increased
in the land.”
This is a prayer for current
times. God wants us, and our
children, and our extended family, and our friends to give Him glory and
acknowledgement. He doesn’t need it
for Himself, but He knows it is important for US to remember where every good
thing comes from. He wants to
bless us and protect us. He wants
the people of God to have much so they can give much, and to be a testimony
that He is a good Daddy who takes excellent care of His children.
He loves you. Yeah, He really, really does – no
matter what. Have a changed
day. I love you too. <3 angele="angele" nbsp="nbsp" o:p="o:p">
