Ringing in 2014 with Purpose

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.....
To wait and listen for my daddy God's voice in every area of my life. 

"Purpose ".........
To be more like Christ and less of me !
Do you have a one word for 2014?


 Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you all!!!!

2 Thessalonians 3:16

    Declutter....... to declutter things in my home and my body that I don't need anymore. To declutter so I can make room for all the glorious blessings for the new year. To throw away all the old things cluttering me and to embrace the new year! Happy New Year dear friend :)

    Good new years goals.

    One word for 2014: Proverbs. I'm studying the book, memorizing many of the verses, writing, and doing a project on "Leadership Development from Proverbs."

    Good post. wb

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".........

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 hav...
