Unwanted Fires~


Gosh, where to begin today??......
It seems our little congregation has been hit from every angle hard over the past few months.
From our pastor having open heart surgery and complications upon complications that followed.....
The numerous trips back to the emergency room has taken a toll on him and his precious wife.

Our darling sound lady aka Aunt Sally, fell and injured herself....
Thank you Jesus nothing real serious as far as injuries go......

I have had numerous fires come up since the day before Thanksgiving and it seemed as if ALL the walls in my world were caving in all at once........

From an unexpected move, to the flu hitting me with all it's rage and several other of life's unwanted issues......

My best friend and sister of 33 years has had her share of fires blazing a trail through her world and it seems no matter which way she turns there is a wall of heat starring her down........

At this point all I can say is ......REALLY??????

It is almost to the point of insane laughter as it all seems so unreal and the timing of it all , well it comes over as a cruel joke......
A continuous slap in the face, never ending or able to catch my breath.....

That's the plan of the enemy!!!

To have fires burning out of control in all areas and aspect of our lives.....
For each of us to run from one fire to another, never to be able to put them out.

BUT the good news....The very very GOOD news......
No matter how many fires we have in life, GOD is still on the throne!!
He is still the "fire chief" in our lives!!!


Psalm 16:8-9

8 I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.


No matter what fire you may be walking through, I encourage you to continue to stand on HIS word. Reach for your true extinguisher ....
God's promises to you!!!
HIS word!!!!
 You may have to go through the fire, but you will come out unburned, unharmed and a living testimony to the glorious power of God!!!!

(Remember Shadrach,Meshack and Abednego? Book of Daniel)

Trust in Him!!

He will deliver us all from the fire into the promise land :)

    Oh yes my friend, oh yes! Just as Daniel and his friends did, you shall come out of the fire with no evidence of ever having been in it! xoxoxo

    My heart has been heavy with SO many of my friends going through so many hard fires. It says we will come out stronger, so that is my prayer for them and for you. . .and me. Praise God for who he is, walking through the fires with us, and bringing us out on the other side, smoke free! :)

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the in...
