She Stands

Whew!! What a ride 2013 has been!! It doesn't seem real that the time once again has come to ring in another new year.... But here it is and 2014 is just days away. This year my one word the Lord spoke to me is "purpose" Two years ago it was "endure"..... This past year is was "apply"..... And now for 2014..... "PURPOSE" I endured many changes and lessons in 2012.... I applied many of my lessons in 2013..... So why the word purpose? I ask. This new year I am to purpose in my heart many things.... To continue to love un  conditionally.... To forgive the way my daddy God forgives me daily..... To walk my road without wavier...... To see  beauty through the ashes...... To reach for those who seem to be unreachable.... To extend grace at all times.... Show mercy without a price...... To be a witness and a testimony to those hurting..... To show comfort in the worst of times and joy in the best.....

Another new year is fast approaching and with that thought in my mind, my heart holds the emotions of many that have weathered many a storm this past year. Myself included...... I have learned through my own storms what it means to truly apply God's words..... There have been some storms it took a little longer than what most would have liked, but in the end I pressed in and pushed through.... I "applied" No matter the storms we face in life, the sun is always behind the clouds. No matter the battles we fight, our daddy God is always behind us taking charge for the victory ahead.   Matthew 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
