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

16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

  1. 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 :)

    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."

Touching The Hem Of His Garment

It's day 6 of my 21 day fast and I have discovered just how much I have relied on social media for my daily encouragement. It's so easy , one click of my mouse and it's there for me to see. A short cut of sorts, a quick fix in a world , my world, that is constantly moving and changing. But when I dig into my daddy Gods word, when I take the time to seek Him, the encouragement is more....So much more. Today I am encouraged by the woman who suffered with the issue of blood. For 12 years she suffered a life of misery and in her culture was considered  unclean. It was a chronic condition which means she probably had anemia as well as  physical weakness. She was hopelessly incurable by the many doctors she had sought out for medical care. She had become destitute for she spent all that she had. Everything and everyone who she would come in contact with would have become ceremonially unclean making her shunned by all in society including her family. Her husband probably

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 intent of replacing; replacing with those

When My Puzzle Pieces Do Not Fit

    Putting a puzzle together can be fun, enjoyable and somewhat a relaxing time when the pieces all fit correctly the first time.  However when it is a puzzle with thousands of little pieces that require a great deal of time trying to figure out what piece goes where it can become frustrating, at least for me. Many times I have had to rely on the box top picture to navigate me through the placing of each piece and even that process can be irritating. Eventually the pieces do all fit exactly the way they were created to fit and the perfect picture is formed.It is a victory of sorts for me as patience is not my best quality.  But what about when our life's pieces are not fitting together? I had this certain picture I created in my mind, a picture how my own pieces were to fit together, my perfect box top per say. However the pieces I chose I could not force them to fit. No matter how I placed them, pushed them together, they still would not connect. My box top picture was
