Am I Ready Lord ??





I can speak of my past.......
I feel safe in my present..........
But I am nervous for my future......
Excited and nervous wrapped into one.

Am I ready Lord??

God's word tells us, He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love and sound mind.
So why am I so nervous?
 Maybe I am scared of myself.....
~Sheesh~
Scared I will maybe make the same choices again.....
~Yuck~
Scared the "old" me will resurface and the emotional baggage of my past will consume the me of today.....
~Lord No~
Fearful if I truly allow someone in, I will be rejected....
~tears~
Or the choices I make will be just that, MY choices and not God's will for my life.
~Sweet Jesus~


 My door of isolation has opened, I take my first few steps breathing in the new season that is upon me......
It is a sweet excitement.....
Very sweet! 
But as refreshing as it is, part of me wants to run back to the sheltered place I have lived.....
My comfort zone......
My safe place......
Where it's just been me and God......
No rejection.....
No judgement......
No fear.......
My unconditional love......
A love that is without fail.

That's what the enemy wants me to do.
To stay put, not move and live my life peeking around the corner.....
Not uttering a word ......
Fearful.....
Doubtful.......
Closed off.....
And closed up.
Never speaking of the love and grace of my daddy God.....
Never to be a testimony of his healing grace in my life......


BUT my daddy God says different.....
And HE has the final word!!!!

For every correction.....
For every healing.....
Every restoration in my life....
 All leads to the blessings my daddy God has for me.
Blessings in the ministry.....
Blessings in my personal life.....
Blessings over my children......
Blessings over all whom I hold dear to my heart.

Over the past few days, I have gone back to all the promises and prophetic words spoken over me from the Lord.
To remind myself of what HE says......
To shut the enemy up!!!!!

Once again..."Am I ready Lord?"
My answer......
"Yes you are!!"

Ready to walk around that corner......
~no more peeking~
 Ready for my next season my daddy God has for me.
~happy happy girl~

My winter season was one of healing and restoring me back to my Father.
It was one of correction and shaping.....
One of protection and training.....
Learning and growing.....
Stretching my faith to a new level......
Standing as I had never stood before.....
Leaning on Him and Him alone......
Learning to love and extend grace through the eyes and heart of Christ.

My spring season is here and the promised reaping of a harvest is upon me.
For that I am so very thankful!!!
~His word never returns void~

It is through Him that I can do ALL things and so can you!!!
I encourage you, if you are still peeking around your corner and God has instructed you to walk out.......
Your break through is here!!
Spring has arrived!!!
Turn that corner and walk it like a boss!!!!!
Your daddy God has already paved the way for you!!!

We are children of the Most High!!! :)

“What no eye has seen,

and what no human mind has conceived”[a]—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

    I think you have described the walk that we all repeat so many times in our lives. it's that labyrinth of closer, closer, whooops! Back out again, darn it.
    But here you are, ready to walk the path prepared for you. Good for you! I'll be excited to read more about your journey. I'll just have to join your blog so I find out!

    God gave us life and He wants us to live it, not peek around the corner of it. And living, for the time we are given it, is wonderful. Not perfect, but wonderful.

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".........
