My Hearts Desires


I traveled to my home church in Texas over the weekend. It was our yearly ladies retreat. 
A time to come together and share as only we ladies know how when we are together. 
Our gathering to let our hair down, be silly, share our hearts, our struggles, our victories and our love. A time of refreshing, renewal and restoring. 
I love my highway driving time, when it's just me, my music and my sweet Jesus headed to my destination. 
It is my special place when I can talk to him, share my whole heart above the noise of the world and hear his loving voice deep inside my soul. 
Heading west, I pour my heart out to my daddy God. I tell him of the changes and struggles I have faced the last two months. ( like he didn't already know)  I thanked him for the love of so many he has placed in my life. I praised him for the trials I have walked through and the strength he has given me to continue.

Making my way down the highway I saw the sun setting in the distance. For just a few brief seconds a cloud had covered it's brilliant colors of yellow and orange slipping beyond the horizon. 
I stared at that sunset in the hope those vibrant colors would break through one more time before darkness set in. And with in seconds the last of the days rays broke through in all its splendor. 

My desire at that moment was to see the sun break through the clouds and I did. 
For my daddy God to give me something so simple as the sun breaking through the clouds, how much more will he give me? 

His word tells us.......
 Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. 

DELIGHT  myself in the Lord and he will give me my hearts desires. 

How awesome is that? 
Regardless what was weighing on my mind, the thoughts that continued to bounce around in my head, I choose to delight myself in him. I choose to speak to him, love on him, praise him and listen for his voice. 
The retreat was amazing. Every sermon that was spoken I heard the words my daddy God wanted my heart to receive. . Every prayer I have laid at his feet has been heard and every break through I have asked for has been already established for his glory!!
The favor of God is flowing abundantly; a never ending stream of love. 

Psalm 30:5
For his anger lasts only a moment, 
but his favor lasts a lifetime;

Read that again......
His FAVOR lasts a lifetime!!!

Going over my notes from Saturday nights service, the one sentence that continues to stand out.....
" This is your personal year for your harvest to come."

I began to list the prayers of harvest I have asked and wholeheartedly believing for.

* Complete healing for several loved ones
* Restoration in finances for all who are struggling to make ends meet.
*Salvation for those who have never allowed the love of our daddy God to cover them in life.
* Restoring for those who are running from  perfect love.....the love of God.
*For eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to receive the grace and truth of God's love.
*For unconditional love to have its place in every life.


What a beautiful harvest!!!
I want to encourage you, whatever your hearts desires may be, believe for your harvest , delight yourself in the Lord and embrace the favor of our daddy God.

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"......
