A Chosen Daughter

The changing of life seasons can be joyous and yet there are some that can be difficult. I have discovered in this season of my life I am having a hard time finding who I am or finding my place I should say.

I am a mom, a title which will never change. However, my role has changed since both my girls are grown. No more running after children, homework, sporting events or sleep overs.

I am a grandmother who is blessed to witness joy in life through the eyes of my grandchildren and a newfound love that cannot be measured.

I am a sister whose goal growing up was to make my younger siblings lives miserable with my constant grief- giving as the eldest. Now we are more than siblings. We are friends with a bond that cannot be undone.

I am a child, no matter my age, who shares my mom's beautiful strength.

I am a friend who cherishes my deep-rooted relationships; those filled with loyalty, love and respect.

But when I look in the mirror and strip away all those titles, I ask myself, .......

Who am I?

Where is my place in life?

Have you ever wondered your place when life changes? When the children have grown and gone, siblings scattered in different states, parents are moving towards their golden years, and what once was no longer is?

As I question, Jesus tells me exactly who I am.

But Lord you never question your worth and I do............

Genesis chapter 1 verse 27." I have created you in My very own image."

But Lord I look like a piece of pottery with too many cracks to fill......

Psalm chapter 139 verse 14. Know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Why Lord? I have allowed so many things throughout life to have a place in my life that is not of You........

Isaiah chapter 49 verse 16. Your name is written on the palms of My hands.

As many times as I may fall in life, do you mean absolutely nothing Lord?

Romans chapter 8 verse 35. Nothing will ever separate you from My love.

I am a woman created in His very own image, fearfully and wonderfully made whose name is written on the palms of His hands, having nothing to ever separate me from His love.

Ephesians chapter 1 verse 5.

I chose and adopted you to be My daughter through faith in Jesus Christ.

I am chosen!!

Through every season in my life, my title's responsibilities will vary and change, who I am in God will not.

My place and who I am rests in Him.......

A Chosen Daughter.

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".........

My Lessons Through Fasting

I joined my home church in Texas for a 21 day fast and all though I did not fast food, I did however fast social media. Where technology can be a great tool in spreading the word and love of God, in the grand scheme of things I have learned it can also be an addicting crutch. Fasting has shown me what my priorities have become and through His grace I see where much correction is needed. With one click of a button scrolling online for scripture and daily encouragement became easier than time spent opening my bible and seeking God through His written word. The ease of keeping up with family and friends through social media has taken over phone conversations and face to face visits. I am guilty in justifying my time spent catching up through social media has more flexibility in my daily life, however it has become less personable. Time is a commodity, once gone, that can never be regain. It is is not a negative source as I have many loved ones spre...
