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.....!!!!

I am desperate for You!!!
Hello Again! Well, I just wanted to share what God has been doing in my life....
I suppose I can say right now, I am so desperate for God. I need him so desperately in my life because I know if He does not take me, mold me, make me, rescue me, heal me, lead me, guide me, be my all in all...
I will completely crumble. I know I won't make it...I won't make another day.
Has anyone ever been there and feels the desperation like I feel, bloggy friends????
I am at a complete and total standstill in my life....wondering and waiting on the Lord. I love the Psalms especially in this season in my life. Psalm 30 is what I have been reading over and over again..."Hear, O Lord and be merciful to me; O Lord, be my help."
I need HELP....not from a doctor, not from a lawyer...but from Almighty God himself....who is more powerful than anything....that will save my soul and has saved my soul from destruction both now and in the present age to come....
Jesus I need you so desperately today. I really don't want to write here about all my neediness but this is what is on my heart today....
I am hoping and praying for better days. For new direction, for confirmation to come that all this hardship was not done in vain. I am going to continue to seek and pray to my heavenly Father because I know He will see me through!!
God bless.

An update for 2012
Hello again to all my bloggy friends!!
I know it has been a while since I updated you on all the happenin's here in Guam.
To be completely honest with you, we have been going through a trial, maybe I could call it a storm that has put my focus off of things like updating blogs, laundry, goals for the New Year, cleaning house, etc...
Unfortanately, it took my mind off of trusting in the Lord too....I am working at now seeking my Father's face in this whole ordeal and taking in each moment He gives me to operate in His Spirit, in His timing, and in His grace.
I don't want to really make this post boring, sad, or have you,my bloggy friends, be concerned. Just know that our Father God is working mightily in me, revealing to me His love, His peace, and His security...for His purpose.
I want to share so much with you all about the birth of our newest lil' guy. I can't wait to put pics of him up here and the other kids. They are growing up and God is doing a work in each one of them.
Anaya prayed the other night with her face in the rug to accept Jesus in her heart. I read her a Bible Story and talked with her about Jesus and she wanted Him to come into her heart....she also saw her sister baptized in the ocean out here and so she wants to do that too. Don't know yet...but all in God's timing.
I know my oldest daughter wants me to post here more often. I will do so when the Lord allows...please pray for me. I am needy of prayer this season of my life. I used to pray for others on a pretty regular basis and people would search me out to pray for them...yet God has me here asking people to pray for me.
I love this verse, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."
Love to you...your sista in Christ

Praise to my Savior!
It's been a while since I've posted here....and, yes....we are still alive.
But more importantly....
JESUS IS ALIVE!!!!
Man, I praise God for everything He has taken me through, every thing He continues to do in my life. I have had some low, low times here in Guam and I would love to update you on what the Lord has been doing in my life. Yet, I will just praise Him today and give Him thanks and give Him all the glory and honor for what He has done.
I am going to heaven and not to hell, so I praise you Jesus.
I am a new creature, the old has gone, so I praise you Jesus.
You took ALL my sin away, so I praise you Jesus.
I do not have to sin again, so I praise you Jesus.
You keep all your promises, so I praise you Jesus.
Your word is true, you have conquered the world, so I praise you Jesus.
I am of God and I have overcome them, because greater is He that is in me than is over the world. (derived from 1John 4:4)
Thank you Jesus for picking me up out of the miry clay and setting my feet on solid foundation.
You are the only way, the only truth and the only life.
Death could not hold You....You are truth....and I pray that I can continue to seek You and You alone in all that I do.
HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY EVERYONE!!
