Encouragement

     I thank God for the people who have prayed and encouraged me in the last few months.  Some days have been difficult and others have been wonderful, because I had a confirmation that God was carrying me through those dark days.

     God is at work in my life. As a potter molds the clay to what he wants it to be, God is molding me into the servant He wants me to be.  I had BIG plans for a high powered career in radio.  Then it was to go on tour with some of the groups, one time it was to work on the 700 Cub.  Now it is whatever God wants. It was hard realizing that since God allowed things to happen as they did that He has a greater plan.  There was a song that I used to play, "When God Has Another Plan". It tells the story of Joseph and how God had a plan that he didn't see. When God has another plan, go on and just say yes. I can't remember all the word but it was always a blessing. Now there is another song that I have adopted. Its called "Order My Steps."

Order my steps in Your Word dear Lord
Lead me Guide me everyday
Send your anointing I pray
Please, order my steps in your Word

Humbly I ask You to teach me your will
While You are working, help me be still
Satan is busy, God is real
Order my steps in Your Word
Please, order my steps in your Word

Bridle my tongue, ley my words edify
Let the words of my mouth be acceptable in thy sight
Take charge of my thoughts both day and night
Order my steps in Your Word
Please, order my steps in your Word

I want to walk worthy
My calling to fulfill
Please Order my steps, Lord
And I'll do Your Blessed will
The world is ever changing
But You are still the same
Order my steps and I'll praise Your Name

There is a part that says "Show me how to walk in your Word, Show me how to talk in Your Word, When I need a new song to sing, Show me how to let your praises ring."

I felt so lost and I didn't know what to do with myself. I plunged myself into schoolwork and tried to keep the hurts to myself.  There were days I didn't come out of the house. Even during that time my testimony was God is faithful. He knows what's best for me. This reminds me of a song I used to play years ago by the Hopper Brothers and Connie... "He knows whats best for me."
                                                      
He'll hold my trembling hand
though I don't understand
He knows what best for me
when I am going through.

      I do wonder sometimes will I be able to use the experiences that I have had again. I don't know. One December day I realized that I had to give it all to the Lord and let Him work it out. In His Time.

Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row

     Sharon me gave this, I don't know if it is a poem or what. Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row ( sometimes we just need to hear this ) Life is like a theater, so invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is holy or healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. Its amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time draining, negative, incompatible not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships or even family. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to which ones lean and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill or just staying still??? When you leave certain people do you feel better or worse?? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift rthat lies within you? The mor...

Don't Argue Or Reason With The Devil

I was watching Jesse Duplantis last night and he was teaching on Jesus being tempted in the wilderness in Matthew chapter 4. I was reminded of something that I was working on. I have never preached this message anywhere, but on radio once and I don't know when it ran...  In Matthew 4 "Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness, after fasting forty days he was hungry, the temptor came to Jesus and said, If thou be the Son of God command these stones to be turned into bread.  Jesus  said it is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of  out of the mouth of God."  Satan doesn't give up, he comes at Jesus a second time and says, "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written He shall Give His angels charge over you.... Jesus said for the second time, "It is written again, thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. Satan didn't give up he came at Jesus a third time, takin...

Class of 1975, I Graduated, Whats Next????

The class of 1975 made it through the Pomp and Circumstance” getting our high school diplomas. June 6, 1975 seems like so long ago, but at the same time it seems like it was only yesterday. SO many decisions that were made that would affect our lives forever. I don’t think that we should hold decisions made by an 18 or 19 year old accountable for the rest of their lives. I was 17 when I graduated from high school and I was a very sheltered 17 year old to say the least. I had never dated. I didn’t date until I was 21. It wasn’t a religious thing, it was more like my mind and my age finally caught up with each other. Some of our class would go to college, some would work and some went into the military. Some would do well in college, some would leave home and go wild, but would eventually settle down into a career, some would marry and divorce, others married later, some would have children and some didn’t. This will cover my first year after graduation, what I did. Some of this some ...
