You Are Never Alone

I am so thankful today for an opportunity to once again talk about the greatness of my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!  How blessed I am to have met Him so early in my life!  I was only five years old when Jesus swept away the sin in my heart and took up residence there.  I have never once considered evicting Him.  In fact, long ago I made Him my Lord and He is the one who has the say over what I think and do!  What a privilege to be able to turn over all of my concerns to one who loves and cares for me as He does.

Life is not always easy.  There are many obstacles that arise before us attempting to impede our way or to just delay what God has in store for us.  We must press on no matter what happens and allow the Lord to do His work in our lives.  What we may see as a looming obstruction, God sees as a stepping stone to something better for us.  It is hard during those times to just keep walking but we must if we hope to get where God wants us to be.  When I first became a Christian nearly sixty years ago, there was a song that I can still hear in my heart today.  It went "You've got to keep walking, keep right on a walking, keep walking in the light of the Lord.  You'll get to Heaven someday if you walk the right way so keep walking in the light of the Lord.  I searched and I searched for the road that leads to Heaven and I thought that I'd never find the way.  The road was so dark and I was so weary til I heard a voice within me say, You've got to keep walking." 

When we start this Christian life, there will be many hard and difficult places.  There will be times when you wonder if it will be worth it.  There will be times when you look about you and there will be no one there that you can see who cares about you but always know this you have to keep walking.  You are never alone when God walks with you.  He will hold you up no matter what is happening in your life.  It is difficult to see broken people struggling to pick them up and see them seem to get better only to have them fall back into brokenness again.  Jesus has promised us in His word that He will never leave us nor forsake us.  He has sent us that assurance by the blessed Holy Spirit, the one who stands alongside to lift us up in the hard places of life.  I can hear the sound of my little brother way back when as he stood on the stage in Mexia, TX and sang the last part of "You'll never walk alone."  We will never walk alone.  Do not let fear overtake you or a sense of being alone trouble you for when you belong to God, you are never alone!

Lost Time

It has been over a year since I took the time to write in my blog.  The last year offered many barriers to overcome both physically and emotionally.  My brother passed away at the end of 2011 and I became swept up in all of the affairs associated with that.  Grieving at his loss was hard to do when daily reminders would arrive at the house in the form of letters addressed to him.  I learned that  my adrenal glands no longer worked and I have Addison's Disease.  This was a real surprise.  It seemed hard to believe.  I found that I was extremely fatigued.  I also, lost my appetite finding it hard to eat anything.  I simply was not hungry.  I thought I was experiencing depression and am so thankful that a friend pointed out that something must be wrong.  I went to see an endocrinologist and learned that I had adrenal insufficiency.  Anyway, after many months I am finally beginning to feel alive again.  All of my brother...

Sitting In the Bleachers

I am horrified to learn that the Supreme Court has upheld Trumps travel ban.  You better fasten your seat belt because his next move will be rounding up other groups that he doesn’t like.  I have never posted about a vision that God showed me when Trump announced his run for the presidency.  I have shared it with a few people but it was so bizarre that I decided not to share it with the general public.  What I am about to say is very strange so I need to lay some background.  Firstly, I knew nothing at all about Donald Trump other than his name.  I don’t generally watch regular TV because it is not that interesting.  As a result I knew really nothing about  the man.  When he announced his run for President, I began to see spirits that looked like frogs coming from his mouth.  I did not understand what this could mean and the Holy Spirit said lying spirits.  The great deceiver filled this man with lies.  Over many years, I rare...

In due time

Isn't it funny that whatever we have to do takes up all of the time we have?  If it is just a brief shopping trip before we know it other things we had planned must be pushed aside.  We plan to make a few phone calls and by the time we are finished all of the day has been spent and we feel as if our time wasn't used wisely.  Such is the life of man, never really taking control just floating with the current, reacting to the events of the day.  So many demands are placed upon us and so many voices try to direct what we do.  Our boss has a goal for us, or perhaps a friend has need of us.  Maybe a spouse is demanding some of our time or a child.  Whoever or whatever sounds the loudest and has the most power over our lives tends to get their needs met the quickest.  Do you ever feel that you are racing over a cliff with no brake and no hope of stopping?  Life can feel that way sometimes.  In the scriptures we sometimes read this phrase, but...
