The Past Few Days....

My Lord,

How are you?

Exhale....

I love you so very much.

I am still enjoying your word and still have a desire to go deeper.  Thank you for setting aside time to spend with me.  I am enlightened day by day with your continued mercy.  I am so undeserving, but then again, I am your Princess Bride and YOU CHOSE ME!  I did not choose you. Exhale again............grateful me.

Demitri sent me an awesome e-mail this morning and I was stuck on this very profound statement:

To say "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" is not a mere doctrinal confession. It is saying, "You are the Christ loving and forgiving the saints." It is saying, "You are the Christ that died to sin and the flesh." It is saying, "You are the Christ where there is no condemnation." I am not a condemned person anymore because I am not qualified to take any condemnation! God did not leave me in myself. He put me in Christ Jesus! Now there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus! He is the Son of the living God, so He is my relationship with the Father! I am in His love. I am in His joy. I am not imitating His love. I am not imitating His joy. I have the actual joy of Jesus in me! It is revelation that causes me to make these declarations about Christ, and it is "upon this rock" that the Lord builds His church

Oh how I love the fact that you filled all my insecurities with your love and your truth.  I am no longer a slave to the enemy and his lies.  Hallelujah!  Freedom Galore!

Thank you for an awesome couple of days.  

I spent a delightful Wednesday with Jackie A., and Jackie M.  Super fun.  Yummy lunch at the Chesapeak Grill (BLT delicious!!!!!!!!)  And one of my favorite things to do....the Thrift store.  Pants for $2.  Simply cannot beat it!  We also had yummy Sweet Frog!

Prior to that, they took me to a Bead Store which really isn't my thing....at least that's what I thought until my eyes began to wander and lo' and behold.....this, that and the other and so much more.  However, I cannot begin to get into making jewelry.  I still have tons of material from my greeting card days.  I've given away so much and am still consumed with accessories and embellishments.  One sweet day, prayerfully, all the supplies will have been used up and sent out to loved ones by "China's Creation!"

Thank you for your #PROMISE and this rainbow Wednesday night!  I spent about 20 minutes in Dunkirk taking amazing photos of you!


Thursday was spent at the library with you and your word.  Totally my #bliss.  I just love the Quiet Room at the Prince Frederick location.  I love that my heart longs to hear from you!  I pray that I will never get so consumed with the things of this world or with myself that I stray away from your precepts, your wisdom and your teachings.

Friday and Saturday I worked the late shift and it was really nice.  I got to get to know Jeff.  I got to meet a nice husband and wife who needed prayer and encouragement.  I got to talk to a coworker who need guidance and wisdom concerning his daughter and wife.  And, the best part of all, I found a penny in a place where you specifically designated for me.  Only YOU JESUS!  How and why would you put that penny there?  Because you are preparing something #amazing for me and you are asking me to #trust you.  I do.  I so do!

Father, I just want to thank you for the awesome fellowship that I get to share with my daughter.  She and I have a relationship that has been restored beyond anything I could have imagined.  You knew that we'd be in this very special place in our lives and you knew that you would be first in our hearts.  You are the mender of brokeness and the restorer of things that the flesh once considered lost.  With you there is redemption and forgiveness.  My life is such a walking testimony and I simply cannot keep quiet about the GOODNESS of your LOVE and how you can take a broken spirit, mend her wings and set her soaring as high as the Monarch.

Speaking of the Monarch, I'm so looking forward to her visit.  I've yet to see her and am smiling inside just knowing she's on her way.  Nothing but beauty.  A delight that you created just for me.  Oh how you love me!!!!!!!!!!
