Love Sweet Love...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Love is beyond defeat. The word says love never fails. When you release love into any situation the dynamics change. Why, because when you love, you have released God into the situation.
God is love.
The word of God is love.
The name of Jesus is love.
The fruits of the Spirit is love.
The gifts of the Spirit are love.
The blood of Jesus is love.
We are born of the Spirit who is love.

I just want to challenge each and every one of us to change the atmosphere around you. How, by releasing God's love and watch the dynamics change. We are all just wanting others to love and accept us, yet in the day we live in, there is so much stress and fear and lack. And the one thing we have in abundance and are called to give and share is love. (His Love)

It's the only thing that there's just too little of. Love sweet love!

Now if you are looking for a way to overcome and to have hope in these days we live in. This is the answer: Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been POURED out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us Romans5:5

Breakfast Of Champions...

Now, this is what I am talking about!

 In the heat of summer mornings I love to get into the word and drink my tea.

 I wait for His still small voice to speak His words of encouragement.

 I want His direction for where He is working and what He has assigned to me.

 He is just waiting for me to seek His face and His words for this day.

 I awake so hungry for His presence and His direction!

 Our Father, is just waiting to load each one of us with His daily benefits

 My hunger for Him can be filled by just sitting at His feet and thanking Him for all He has for me.

 I then begin to declare all the promises of His word for me and others.

 Open Heavens our over us!

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits. The God of our salvation! Psalm68:19

God has said He will fill those who hunger and thirst after Him. (Open Your Mouth Wide)

Our breakfast:

 Vanilla yogurt with fresh blueberries and strawberries, also vanilla flavored granola on top, then just a teaspoon of lemon flavored Cod Liver Oil. Yummy and good for us.

We are going camping and I am so looking forward to seeing what the Lord will speak

 In the mountains of His creation. For I have ears to hear.

 I send my love out to all my sisters in Christ Jesus for in Him we our family.

The Worth Of The Sparrow...

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God.
But even the very hairs of your head are numbered. So do not be struck with with fear or seized with alarm: you (child of God) you are of greater worth than many flocks of sparrows!

As I went out to feed my chickens this morning I was walking into a very different situation than I usually encounter most mornings. There was a huge owl flying away with at least 20 sparrows going after it. They were sounding their alarms with screeching and telling that owl get out of here. This is our turf and you will not get what belongs to us.

There is a battle and we must stand for all that the Lord has given us. And to stand our ground against the enemy who is trying to take what belongs to us. And at times it takes others to stand with us.

The sparrow is the most common of all birds, yet the lord keeps watch over each and everyone, in His very presence they are. As He has said He will never leave or forsake us.
Luke12:6-7 Amplified

4th of July Parade...

Eddie and Olga first time to the Wet Parade there thinking I'm not going to get wet

(SMILE)

 Quick draw, fast shooting water machine! So Worried, out of water (Help)

Pam and Steve taking refuge under My water shield.

 Standing on top of the truck in case of flood.

Coolest and Funniest Parade Yet Water and more Water!

 What a great idea!

 Refueling water tank (Amy still dry) standing at the very back smart girl

 Still, a chance of a good hair day for her!

 Armed and dangerous, still dry, but not for long!!

He is having the time of his life, really 4Th of July must be every boys dream come true.

Fire by night (fire works) and water by day(water parade).

Nothing separated you, young or very old if you were there you YOU WERE Fair Game.

Roses and Faith...

                                                           The sweetness of the Lord

                           A rose is a rose, but yet they have many names and colors and sizes.
               I always love the name The Rose Of Sharon which is not even really a rose at all.

The steps of a good man or a woman are ordered of the Lord!

 Every step we take is really a step of faith. How can anyone walk in faith?

 Because our God is a good God!! He is always going before us.

 We are not blazing the trail of our own lives,

 But rather walking in faith as our steps are ordered by Him.

 I love how the Word cries out, Deep calls to Deep.

 Now don't get me wrong any body can walk off  a cliff, and it would be a long way down.

 But, rather take a sure step on solid ground, even if it's covered by water (FAITH).

"To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God"

 Mark 4:11

Looking Up...

So teach us to number our days, so that we might gain a heart of wisdom. Psalms90:12

I believe that there is a spirit of slumber upon us in these days. Yet at the same time the hours and days are just flying by. We must all stop hitting the snooze button!!

This last month has been very productive and sad and glad and funny and did I mention HOT.

Being Productive and Painting all our metal outside furniture, a very bright red color

 I went to a Women on Fire conference, 3 days filled with God's power and Love.

 Taking care of my husband and keeping the home fires burning.

 Loving my family and friends.

So Sad, Our sweet dog Heidi was bitten by a rattlesnake and she died. She was 11 years old

 I can't help but believe that she took the hit instead of one of us here. We cried like babies.

 And our other dog Bella is so lonely and sad without her,

 she just goes over to the grave and just sits down.

God is still on His throne and He speaks to the hearts of His children,

 and He has made a way in the wilderness

 Even through the hardships and sorrows and pain and all the work.

Funny=Seeing the Grand kids playing in the mud walking around with nothing on but cowboy boots and mud, should of gotten a picture of that one.

The moral of this story= God is a good God and our days our fleeting,

 so must learn to live in the now that God has given us so that there will not be regrets, but rather grateful for all the different emotions and seasons we go through.

No Matter;

Things Are Looking Up...

Wyoming Country...

I have been transported to a wild west territory, Wyoming! It is the town of Cody. I am actually here on assignment to check out a college with my best friend and her daughter. I believe I was honored to be able to come. The drive was very long, but when you have someone to talk and laugh with the time goes more quickly (ha-ha). What a privilege to be with a mother and daughter as they see the future home of their newly graduated daughter.

I can just imagine the wonderful and exciting adventures ahead for her, and I also can feel the emotions that must be running through her heart. What!! So far from home, Hello what was I thinking!

But as I walked around the campus all Could see was opportunity calling and knowledge crying out. Dreams just waiting to be dreamed.

So, go my sweet girl your time has come to grow and become all that God has given you to do.

You Go Girl!!

Times Of Refreshment...

This is just a small portion of the most wonderful vacation we have ever had!

God really blessed us with wonderful weather. Precious time with our daughter and her family!

We went with our kids on their sail boat and we were able to sight see all the huge mansions.

 We spent a whole day at Sea World.

 Yet, walking on the beach and looking for seashells by the sea shore was the sweetest with our kids. God's beautiful creation and a sight to bless our tired weary souls

 Even the scent of salt water and the tropical breeze

 Refreshment galore!!

We have been home for almost a week and it seems like the memories are all we have, except the healthy tan and pictures of course. I want to say this about memories that they really are a force so strong at times. I truly believe God provided for this vacation and we made very special memories of our kids and grandchildren. We brought back two very specific seashells, one of them was a pink conk shell which represents our daughter and her family. And a very white and shiny one almost translucent, that represents our son and his family. They are now displayed on the mantel to remind us of our treasures.

Even Jesus went away to be refreshed

 and being with loved ones and a new scenery does a body good.

Blessings, From Glory To Glory
