Exhale...

My Lord,

Good morning and thank you.

Things are starting to settle down and I'm feeling some normacy again.  At least my kind of normal :-)

I enjoyed reading about the Apostle Paul last night.  I love his transformation. I love the way that you changed his heart and replaced it with yours. It gives me such hope about those that I am praying for and it reminds me of the life that I once led...a life without knowing or loving YOU.  Exhale....what a relief that that is no longer true.  That you for changing my heart too.

Not only do I know you, I love you like I've never loved anyone in my life and I hold a love so deep and so passionate that I never knew existed.  I am full inside my heart and I am capable of expressing real love and genuine forgiveness because of the love and forgiveness you've given to me.

I love your word and I love that your promises sustain me day by day, moment by moment.  T and I were talking about you and how true your word is.  No man could create such a profound and authentic book of life sustaining truth.  The Holy Bible is indeed Your Word [God breathe] and your blood line to those who love you.  We [believers] are your workmanship, created by your hands and with a purpose for your kingdom.  Man can shy away from it, ignore it and can even deny it, but the truth of the matter is very simple, Jesus is Lord and the choice is eternal life with you or eternal hell with Satan.

My oh my...that just gives me such chills.  As we just finished our study of Revelation a few weeks ago, I have such a sadness in my heart that many to this day deny you and many are involved in practicing false religions.  And on that day of judgement, the truth will come to light and it will be too late for those who wasted their life on self/sin or those that denied you to profess your name and your truth.  Thank you that I didn't wait until that day of darkness and that I did not hear the gospel and reject it.  Yes, it took me over 40 years to come, but once I heard the "truth," I BELIEVED it and I was indeed set free.  I want to be that light for you and I want to put my plans and my dreams and my goals aside to be the servant and the follower you created me to be.  But without your help, discernment, wisdom, guidance and encouragement, My Lord, I simply cannot do it.

Please stay with me, hold my hand, hold me accountable and hold me close.  With you, all things are possible and I am wholeheartedly depending on you to be there for me, my children, my grangirls, my parents, my siblings and my friends.  I trust that you have the day and the hour of salvation for those that I have been fervently praying for and I trust that you are coming back for us.  ALL of my HOPE is in You!

Prayers: Anna, Susie, Jane, Robin, Linda, Dad, Pochie, Aiesha, Regenna, Alicia and her mom, Helen and her cousins, Casey, Anthony, Cassie, Anthony, Christine, Carol, Earl, Mr. D., Hope, Neicy, Alliyah, Alicia, Tina, Sam, Brandon, Missy, the 4 kings, Linda, Brittany, Kim, Sean, Kendra, Dom, Audrey and her mom and countless others.  Father you know each need and I trust that you will meet them one by one according to your perfect timing and will.  In Jesus' precious name. Amen.

Eternally yours
