She Stands

 I went and saw the movie War Room. It was amazing. If you get a chance to see it, I suggest you do. Once again I was reminded of the power of prayer, the blessings in grace and the peace in forgiveness. To witness each character's  own turmoil as they struggled through the issues at hand  was more than inspiring. It was hope on a whole new level. It showed me that God's grace is truly a gift , one he extends without reserve. It showed me the times spent on my knees in prayer are not in vain, for they are my battle weapons. I may not see the outcome instantly, but there is always a victory in the making. It gave me a new insight on how forgiveness heals and instills peace. Daddy God will speak to us in many different ways. Yesterday He spoke to my heart as I sat munching on my popcorn and having girl time with a precious friend. And speak He did.

I would love to be able to say I have been obedient my entire adult life.... I wish I could say that every time God had directed my steps, those steps I did take. However that would not be truthful.

Even if that meant I was to barrel through the road bl...

There is prosperity in our health...... Prosperity in our relationships, old and new..... When  our daddy God increases our knowledge..... Our wisdom..... Our joy..... We are prosperous.  When our faith is increased to a new level..... When mercy and grace become the foundation of our love for others...... When forgiveness comes easy to those who hurt us.... When the peace that surpasses all understanding engulfs our hearts and souls..... We are prosperous. When  the manifestation of our daddy God's word comes alive in the very core of our being...... When we see others through the eyes of our Father..... In the reaching out and lending a hand to those in need...... We are prosperous. As Holy Spirit continues to whisper to me the words abund...
