GOOD MORNING TO ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS IN BLOG LAND.
I WAS WRITING A LONG COMMENT TO DEBORAH OF THE BLOG, THE PAINTED NEST.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU, BUT THE MORE I WROTE TO HER,
THE MORE GOD SPOKE TO ME. I BECAME SO EXCITED AND IGNITED IN MY SPIRIT
I RAN BACK TO MY BLOG, SO I COULD WRITE TO YOU..........(YOU KNOW I HAD TO BE
IGNITED, SUPERNATURALLY BECAUSE IT IS A LONG WAYS FROM DEBORAH'S BLOG
TO MINE)
I WAS TELLING HER HOW MUCH I HATED CANCER AND I HAVE BEEN PACING BACK
AND FORTH IN GOD'S THRONE ROOM OF MERCY AND GRACE. I DIDN'T THINK HE
HEARD ME, SO I LAID DOWN ON THAT GOLDEN FLOOR AND THREW A FIT AS
FINE AS ANY TWO YEAR OLD COULD HAVE PERFORMED. OH, IT WAS A GOOD ONE.
GOD IS NOT MOVED BY MY FITS.
WHAT MOVES GOD IS MY FAITH.
MY FAITH THAT SAYS, GOD SENT HIS WORD IN THE SCRIPTURE , JEREMIAH
30:17 THAT SAID:
"I WILL GIVE YOU BACK YOUR HEALTH AND HEAL THY WOUNDS," SAITH THE LORD.
FAITH THAT SAYS I TRUST YOU GOD NO MATTER WHAT.
FAITH THAT HE CAN DO MORE THAN WHAT HE SAYS HE CAN DO.
FAITH THAT HE WILL NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME
FAITH THAT HE WILL SEE ME THROUGH THE FIRE AND I WON'T BE BURNED
FAITH THAT KNOWS HE DID NOT PROMISE I WOULD NOT SHED TEARS BUT THAT
HE COLLECTS EVERY TEAR IN A BOTTLE AND KNOWS WHY I SHED THEM
TEARS WILL CLEANSE ME
TEARS WILL MAKE ME DEPENDENT ON HIM
WITHOUT TEARS I WOULD NOT KNOW COMPASSION
WITHOUT TEARS I WOULD NOT KNOW MERCY
WITHOUT TEARS I COULD NOT WATER THE CHARACTER WITHIN ME
WITHOUT TEARS I WOULD NOT KNOW THAT EVERY PERSON I MEET IS BATTLING
SOMETHING WHETHER IT BE ILLNESS, A LOVED ONE WHO IS ILL, THE DEATH OF
A CHILD, THE DEATH OF A PARENT, THE DEATH OF A BROTHER, SISTER, AUNT
OR UNCLE, THE LOSS OF A JOB, HOME....
IF YOU HAVE NOT VISITED DEBORAH AT THE PAINTED NEST, PLEASE DO.
I READ A COMMENT SHE MADE AND THIS IS WHY I STARTED BLOGGING......
"BLOGGING IS MORE THAN A PRETTY PICTURE OR A GIVE AWAY, EVEN......IT IS
A COMMUNITY THAT IS THERE TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER...TO ENCOURAGE EACH
OTHER, AND BRING HOPE TO THE HOPELESS. THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO DO.
I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON GOD EVEN IF HE DOES NOT ANSWER MY PRAYER THE
WAY I WANT HIM TO....BECAUSE HE IS ALL KNOWING.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I PRAY FOR EACH ONE OF YOU EVERY DAY.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY
FRIDAY HERE IN OKLAHOMA WE ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE SNOW AND 26 HOURS
LATER IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE 60........ONLY IN OKLAHOMA
HUGS
LOVE

I so agree with that! We're here to hold you up in prayer!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie ~~ The Word says~~What time I'm afraid, I'll trust in You. Some times all we can do is fall into the arms of Jesus and just trust(entrust) everything to HIM! I gets heavy trying to carry everything by yourself~~that's why we have a BODY OF CHRIST~~~to share the load. Debbie I'll share the load!! And so are many other people~~~YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT~~~~I BELIEVE GOD WANTS YOU TO REST IN HIM~~and just Love and hold those close to you and God will do the rest~~~and WE'LL LIFT YOU UP AND GOD'S ARMY WILL FIGHT!!! IT'S TIME WE WAR!!!!! I'm Here~~~~~~Deborah
ReplyDeleteGood morning Debbie, Thank you for the comments on my blog. I'm so glad you stopped by. We have things in common. We both seem to have a deep love of our LORD. I'm sorry your ill and I will start praying for your speedy recovery.....
ReplyDeleteI looked for a picture of your little schnauzer. Aren't they just the best dogs in the whole world! I see you are a nurse too. I hope you have a lovely day ♥
Debbie: Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I read a few posts, and did not put this together that it was your daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have a 19 year old son, away at college, and I suppose anything makes me cry now, but I so feel for you. Thoughts and prayers, Nancy
ReplyDeleteI know there is an angel watching over you. Your post is so inspiring. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome post Debbie! I needed to hear that today and there you were with His Word! Thank you for such a wonderful post. And yes, we are here to support one another, lift each other up and pray for each other. Thank you for your prayers sweet Debbie. I pray for all of you too. It's a blessed thing to do isn't it??
ReplyDeleteGod bless you dear one, Sherry
Debbie, Your faith is inspiring to me, and I'm sure to others too. Sometimes, I think a little fit helps and may even be what God is telling me to do. I have to let out all of those sad feelings before I can be in a place where I clearly hear His voice. God knows that we are imperfect, and God knows that you are sad and need to release that too. I don't feel like this is making sense, but I want to tell you that you, Amy, and her friend are in my prayers at least daily. I wish I had some wonderful words to leave here for you, but I can see you already know His Word, which are the most important words we can know. Did Amy get to the Dr. today? laurie
ReplyDeleteMy heart is overflowing for you..my prayers too. I am so in awe of your faith and your strength. I agree with Laurie that sometimes a good fit is what we need to shed our stuff and enable us to open ourselves to Him. You've touched so many with your beautiful spirit please acept my thanks and my heartfelt prayers for your family and your daughter's dear friend. Love, Cindy
ReplyDeleteDebbie you are so funny! Your comment really made me laugh this morning!! And I need that! It is so hard to get the metabolism started going downhill and the older you get the more it slows. I have to really earn every lb I lose! It's just not pretty! LOL I have never liked exercise but HAVE to do it to help my fibromyalgia. So I'm doing my physical therapy exercises everyday and trying to get to walking a mile every day again. That is my goal.
ReplyDeleteWe are selling our house to downsize the house size and our financial output. We are one of those people that are devastated financially from the economy with our retirement funds and are going to have to struggle just to get to social security age 62. I have 2 more years. So we will find a small place, even rent, around this area. A small house we loved has sold and we will just have to wait and see what the Lord has in store for us. I am really really depending on him to open that window as this door shuts for us. We love our home but cannot really afford it anymore and the yard work is too much for us now. So I will be excited to move on with Gods help! This is probably more than you wanted to know!! LOL
God bless you sweetie!
Great post..and that scripture you have at the top has always been one of my favorites. I have a picture in my bathroom of that...about entertaining strangers.
ReplyDeleteOklahoma is alot like wisconsin...we to might have snow this weekend--and rain, and ice and just ickiness. I dont see any signs of 60 yet!
God is so good and so faithful.

Debbie, what a beautiful blog entry. I hate cancer, too. I don't know what I would do without my faith in God's mercy and love. Yes, we are all the Body of Christ and are here to uphold each other in love and prayer.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you abundantly,
ginny
