Still Standing.........


I absolutely love this tree. 
Every time I pass it, it draws me in and tells me a story.

I see it's strength.......
I see it's beauty.
I hear it's whispers of wisdom through it's bustling leaves....
 I see it's smiles of sunshine through the blooms. 

I feel it's calmness from past storms.....
I feel the serenity of it's peace.
I see my life's song through my daddy God in this tree. 

My strength comes from my roots planted in the soil of Gods word. 
My inner beauty is Christ shinning through me in a dark world.
My wisdom comes from his whispers into my soul. 
The sunshine of my blooms shine from the ones he has placed in my path to speak life and encourage me daily.
My calmness comes from  past storms which has taught me He is forever in control and holds me in the palm of his hand. 
My serenity of peace is wrapped in his unconditional love for me, never to leave nor forsake me. 

Matthew 6:25-26
25 'Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink;nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow or reap nor gather into barns;yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"


No matter what my circumstances may be or situations that occur, I have learned the world will throw its drama at me in hopes of destroying me,  but it's how I deal with it determines my outcome. Life's trials and tribulations as well as it's drama will continue to run after me, it's when I stand my ground and hold tight to my roots in my daddy God that I become victorious. 
The past two weeks have been rough in my corner of the world. 
However in all his mercy and grace,  I have been reminded again of my value to him and just how much he loves me. 

 Whatever you may be facing today, don't run. Let your daddy God show you just how much he loves you and become victorious through him. 

Still Standing....

Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 " Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is in the Lord.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. "

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

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

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"......
