Sunshine Through The Clouds



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.

Isaiah 41:10 
Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Philippians 4:13 
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

 Romans 8:28 
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

 Nahum 1:7
The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.


I had to get to the place in my own life that speaking God's words was not enough...
I had to not only speak them, but APPLY them daily!!!
Sometimes it is easy to get so caught up in the storm, we quickly speak the word but we do not apply the word.

The old saying " If you are going to talk the talk you need to walk the walk" comes to mind.
Walking the walk is apply our daddy God's word in every situation.

I had to be reminded to apply over the last few months through out my storms.
And in the end, I have seen the sun behind the clouds.

I am standing in the belief that not only are my clouds moving on, but yours are too!!
I want to encourage you to not only speak but apply God's words in your every day life. 
Confess His plan for your life regardless of what your circumstances are saying.....
Believe in the victory your daddy God has for you!!

There is sunshine behind the clouds.

2 Corinthians 12:9 
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

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
