Revelation is wonderful!

It's amazing how God reveals Himself to me....in the car, at home, during the early hours of the morning, in the sunrise and sunsets here on this beautiful island called Guam....and even in the rainbows that paint the sky quite frequently here...

God is revealing so much to me. I am currently reviewing my spiritual warfare notes and reading several scriptures in Ephesians. I am realizing now that I became spiritually lazy in this spiritual battle we fight daily....not thinking the enemy was going to take advantage of my lack of focusing on God....

But praise God for His mercy, love and grace. I see it more and more as I seek Him more and more in this life He has given me. I might have fallen out for a little while, but my King dusted me off, healed my wounds and set my feet up on the Rock, once again, which is always steady, trustworthy, and faithful!

....So I just want to give God praise for:
-not giving up on me, even when I gave up on Him
-His Holy Spirit leading me, guiding me, and teaching me
-His unconditional love, His forgiveness, His forgetfulness
-using me to make others more aware of Him
-His truth that has set me free!!!

Love to you lovely blogger friends!!!!

an awesome, loving God!!!

God has been so, so, good to me today (as He always is)! He has put his favor upon me...not that I am any more special than you, my dear, sweet, faithful bloggy readers...
Either I have been more sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading or I have just been seeing a lot more of my prayers being answered...
...either way, I want to be more aware of God's presence in my life...
I am seeking His face more and more and He is faithful to draw near to me as I draw near to Him. I know He has exciting plans for me to prosper and not to harm me, plans to give me a hope and a future. I am walking it out...even as I type this right now.
I am seeing breakthroughs in my relationships with family and friends. I am seeing the Word of God operate in my life as the Lord continues to renew my mind in His truths. I am praying for me to stay on the righteous path, the narrow way, to move forward in abundance and victory!
Can't wait to see what He has for me as I stay true and faithful to Him.
Three cheers....for an awesome, loving God!!!!

a tragic death

The world now knows the news of the tragic (pre-mature) death of Whitney Houston. I listened to her music in the 90's and she definitely had one of the best singing voices ever. All glory and honor go to God for giving her such a beautiful gift to glorify Him. I don't know all about her life, only from the media and newspapers. I do know that drugs and alcohol played a major part of her downfall. I believe the enemy peeked into her future and saw a women with great power and potential to use her gift for God and His glory. Unfortanately, she didn't get to accomplish the plans that God had for her in its fullest here on Earth. I hope that she had accepted Jesus as her Savior and is in eternity with Him right now. I pray that this tragedy would be used in some way for His glory and I will continue to lift her family up to the Lord...in Jesus name.

I love the Word of God!!

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who called you is faithful and he will do it. -1Thess. 5:23-24.

I love, love, love God's word!!!! I have been meditating on this verse all day today. I am so thankful that God has not forgotten me!!! I love the words sanctify and through and through. Sanctify means set apart for sacred use, to cleanse, to declare or make holy. I believe the Lord is doing this very thing...through circumstances and through things that are not in my control, He is sanctifying me....and it really really hurts at times. My flesh doesn't like it... but...the Holy Spirit is healing, restoring, and strengthening me through this process.

I love the fact that it says He is faithful and he will do it...it is a promise that God will not leave you or me where we are at. He will continue to work to keep us blameless before Him and to be ready for when the Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

me with the boys


I don't know about you, but I cannot wait for that day!!! It will be such a happy day to see my Lord and Savior in all His glory. But until then I will continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling, knowing He is the author and perfector of my faith.

May God's blessing be on you all as we continue to wait upon Him.....!!!!
