Bending Not Breaking


Many times in life we all have chosen  to "bend" at one time or another.
Make exceptions.....
Extend grace......
Show mercy.......
Love through gritted teeth.....
Keep the peace.
There are times when our bending seems we are on the verge of breaking.
That we have nothing left to give......
We are scrapping the bottom of our "grace" jar.
Mercy has fled.....
Peace has dried up. 
We are pulled and tugged in many directions.....
Ready to run screaming....ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

This is how my week has been thus far.
From one extreme to another.....
As I start to throw my hands up in complete exasperation.....
Ready to throw in the towel.....
 HE shows up in all his glory reminding me of who I am !!
His child, His daughter.......
A child of the Most High God.

I am  blessed beyond measure to have so many who remind me daily through all my bending I will not break!!
My jar of grace is refilled......
Mercy surrounds me....
Peace covers me like a cloak of honey.....
Love in abundance......
 I see I am stronger for it.
Thank you Jesus!!

Psalm 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;his leaf also shall not wither;and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

If you find yourself bending, it's OK.....
You will not break......
If you are ready to run screaming.....
Stop and listen for His voice......
The voice of your daddy God.

You will only grow stronger.


John 15:5
I am the vine;you are the branches. if you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;apart from me you can do nothing.

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...

Holding On To Hope

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Hope is a feeling of expectancy with the belief of grand things to come. It is a corner stone in order to stay grounded in times of struggle, knowing that this too shall pass. It is a map with directions to reach breakthroughs. This is my definition of hope. I literally cling to hope  just as a small child clings to his mothers leg. To give you a visual close your eyes and picture a child with their arms and legs wrapped around their mothers leg as she attempts to walk across the floor. Can you see her dragging her leg with her child basically sitting on her foot?  That is me and hope. I cling to her and sit on her foot with all my limbs clutching around her. However there have been  times I did not do such a good job of holding on to hope.  Times when I haven fallen and have had to crawl my way back to her digging in with all that...

Discourage by Brenda Yoder

{Dis} courage Does it feel like sometimes there's a big, thick wall surrounding you,   isolating you from all that is good on the other side? I call this wall   discouragement.    I don't like it. Are you discouraged?  What are the bricks in the wall surrounding you today? In discouraging moments, it seems like God is far, far away. Far away on the other side of the wall. No matter how you cry, scream or wail, it's though He doesn't hear. There's silence. That's where the discouragement lies - in the silence. I've been surrounded by a silence lately in the midst of noise .  Can you relate?  The world is SO noisy yet what I long to hear most from is my heavenly Father. I need encouragement.  Do you need encouragement? I was blessed by a blogging friend as I read her post of discouragement ( read it here)   today.   I've been blessed by the faith of friends who are fighting for the life of their child.  P...
