Perfect I Am Not.....



It seems I am constantly reevaluating myself lately.
My choices.....
My dreams.....
My words and actions. 

 Do I love enough?
Do I support and encourage as I should?
Do my words speak life to others???
 Am I being the best parent, sister, daughter and friend I can possibly be?
This is sadly a territory I have been in before....
It is rejection that pops his ugly head up from time to time voicing my failures and chanting my imperfections.

 I have found it to be true, it is when my struggles in life become over whelming the voices of my mistakes, past and present, come bearing full force.....
They taunt me....
Mock me....
And attempt to knock and keep me down.

  But notice I said " attempt".....
Over the years wisdom, Godly wisdom,  has replaced the voices of guilt, shame and rejection.
I have my melt down moments.
When my tears are greater than my smiles.....
And my questions are more than answers.
But that's ok..... I am human.

 It is when I humble my heart to my daddy God and give all of my  emotions to him, I find the peace that I so desperately need.
I feel wisdom in all her glory wrap herself around me....
I hear the love of the Father whisper to my soul.

 It amazes me how the whisper of my daddy God is louder than the voices of the world....
The voices of rejection, of unwarranted  shame and guilt.

 Romans 3:23-24
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

I will make my mistakes in life, whether they be with my words or actions. ....
I do my best and have had to learn, and still learning daily, to let my daddy God do the rest.
I am thankful for his never ending grace....
Grace that sees through another day.

 I am not perfect, nor will I ever be.....
But what I do know is I am perfectly loved by my daddy God and there is nothing that can ever change that. 

 Romans 8:37-39
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 Perfect I Am Not......

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...
