Have you ever felt like you have been in a season of special intimacy with the LORD? Like a dream Christmas as a child. The feeling of warmth, inspite of the cold outside. The sounds of Christmas worship honoring the King. The tree, bright and colorful, sweet smelling and blending nicely with the baking scents from the kitchen. The blessing of unwrapping gift after gift of things that are beyond your hopes and dreams.
My recent time with the Lord and the abundance of His revelations in my life have felt like that. But after Christmas is over, there tends to be grief, realizing that Christmas is over. The last few weeks my time with the Lord wasn't over really, although I believe the enemy has intended to strategically bring circumstances into my life to undermine all the Truth the Lord has revealed. When things are shaking in life, it is so hard to keep your eyes up. I don't know about you, I can keep them on Him when a few things shake, but it is especially hard for me when the layers of death and destruction that the world has to offer begin piling up. The time of opening treasures seems so removed. Sometimes as if it was a world away, maybe even the twilight zone. Or is the time of destruction the twilight zone?
I have had circumstances like that lately. Several issues, too detailed and personal to go into. I know Satan has been trying to undermine everything the Lord has done just a month ago. Thankfully, the Breast Cancer scare was only a weak attempt of "The Counterfeit" to allow God a platform to strengthen my faith. God has graciously rescued me from that experience and all tests are negative. Praise the Lord!!!
Other issues are ongoing. They may resolve tomorrow, next month, next year... I will choose to pick up my cross and follow Him. I will choose to keep my eyes on the Strong Tower. I will choose to sit in the room with all the opened treasures and abide in His Truth. It is unchanging. He has proven Himself over and over. Whatever season we are experiencing in life, let us choose to hold onto the Truths He has given us. Let us, choose to receive them as gifts. Don't be distracted by circumstances, doubt and self help montra. He IS my hope.
Thank you Lord for bringing me back to this place of resting contently in your hope. Your Word is my lifeline Lord. Help my spiritual muscles strengthen in the face of adversity. I declare this game is rigged and you have the outcome of Victory Lord. Thank you for your assurrance!

"The Lord is close to the broken hearted" Psalm 34:18
My husband read this scripture to me this week as I was teary, in his arms. I had an abnormal mammogram and normal ultrasound in August of 2007. My six month follow up mammogram is concerning to the specialist so we are going for further studies. There are possibilities that it is purely a lymph node, but the possibilities of other diagnosis are very scarey for me.
I am not scared if the Lord calls me home. For goodness sake, it is HOME! If we had a clue at what home is, we would be begging to leave this place. I have felt worried and tearful over my first brush with the fact that my days are truly numbered. You see, I homeschool our 4 kids ages 6-11 and I am amazed at how I see the Lord influencing their lives. I love that I am a part of it. I love that I get the priviledge of being a conduit of His love and passion for their growth and realization of their callings. I believe they have callings on their lives. I see their potentials and I selfishly want to be involved in watching these masterpieces take shape. When it all comes down to it, they don't NEED me. They NEED Jesus. He will sustain them. He will help them reach their potential better than I ever could.
So I have rested in the fact that He promises:
Psalm 34:17-18 (New International Version)
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
As I have let myself feel the grief and explore the what ifs to a point, I have allowed myself to be real with him. He has ministered to my soul. He has brought peace that passes all understanding. My faith is increased and I can say I am okay with whatever you decide Lord. We will walk it together. I am getting together with some dear friends as well, praying for complete healing and trusting that God can choose to do it in a moment.
Last night we watched a special on the Shrowd of Turin on PBS. They explained new discoveries about various aspects of it, linking it to the time of Christ. Our kids were truly in awe. It is an amazing opportunity to walk this life knowing one like Christ has not only given His life, but conquered death. As Good Friday is tomorrow, I am tremendously thankful for His sacrifice and victory as he conquered death. Read the scriptures for yourself. His love letter will blow your mind!

"With God we will gain the victory" Psalm 60:...
Today is a day with a host of mixed feelings. I celebrate victory, because Glory be to God, I was successful at staying faithful in my 30 day fast. I tell you the truth, I have NEVER had victory like this before. I continue to walk in freedom in this area of my life by God's grace. I have an inner peace that has taken up residence and is allowing me to be myself like never before. There is a room in my heart that has been cleaned out, renovated, furnished by the Holy Spirit who has designed warm, bright, and cheerful colors and textures. A fresh, warm, spring breeze blows tenderly through the light, sheer, curtains. Natural light abounds in this room. It is a wonderful sanctuary of rest and rejuvination.
Juxtaposed to that is a heart of grief, a dear friend in my life lost her husband this past Sunday to brain cancer. He left a wife and 5 children between the ages of 7-16 to walk this next season without him. The memorial service was today, celebrating his life, the confidence we have of his place in Heaven, but being real about the pain of his abscence. I consider the daunting task of raising 5 alone and I pray that God will be her strength like never before. The scriptures regarding holding fast come back to the surface of my mind. I picture the disciples on their boat in the raging waters on the Sea of Galilee, holding on for dear life while Christ slept. How quickly he calmed the storms with a word. Be still.
Lord, today I will be still. I will reflect on your sovereignty. I will embrace that you are trustworthy at all times. I will hold fast Lord. Thank you that sometimes you allow us to weather a storm with you and yet promise it won't consume us. Thank you dear Father.
Praying these scriptures today:
1 John 5:3-5 (New International Version)
3This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
Isaiah 43
1 But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 2 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
Daniel 2:19-23 (New International Version)
19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. 21 He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. 23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."

Crossroads
Jeremiah 6:16
This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. "
Today is Day 19 of this fast for me. I am trying to log all that the Lord has shown me in the past 19 days and I can't fit it into my mind succinctly enought to include it all here. I surrender to the Spirit's leading for the biggest stuff. I have never walked in complete victory this long. All I can say is to God be the Glory. There is no way that all this could be on me. Sure, I have eeked it out with sheer will power in the past, but it has been with white knuckles, clenched jaw, and a very tight back. Today, I write with peace and contentment that is so deep, I feel as if I am truly resting for the first time in my life. I am not even thinking about what comes next... sometimes (which is huge).
I have been reading this book about codependence and realized how many qualities I had that alligned with the codependent lifestyle. I believe God has used this to reveal the circuit Satan has used for so long in my life. I don't know how many times I have said to dear friends, "I am ready to get off this track... Done a few too many laps around this one..." I see how the cycle lead me to an unhealthy outlet that supported the notion to serve and sacrifice for others without regard for considering my own needs. I had somehow misinterpreted the scripture to "love your neighbor as yourself" meant to serve others first because they are more valuable. It didn't sink in until about a week ago that I was supposed to take the time to love myself before I stepped out in serving. I wonder how many others are out there that have the "wool" pulled over their eyes.
As I have asked Jesus to show me how to love myself, he has been so gracious. He has been working on this for at least 10 years, slowly, gently revealing His love for me. It has blown my mind so many times. At times, I have received it in confusion, with detached feelings. Other times His grace has won out and He has seared through the dead weight of baggage and gone right to my core. Please hear me, He has been a gentleman the entire time. Revelations 3:20 states, "... I stand at the door and knock". You see God has never forced Himself on us. It wouldn't be pure love if we were puppets and didn't have an element of choice in the matter. But He loves us so much that He continues to pursue intimacy with us, inspite of our sinful hearts. The God of the universe, who could have done it any way He wanted, knew His just heart couldn't look on sin with grace, so He provided His sacrificial lamb once and for all. The curtain was torn in the temple and we were invited in. Not only to have a conversation, but to believe and gain salvation. To be sealed with the Spirit and become a coheir with Christ. To have everything that was available to Jesus while he walked on this Earth available to us.
So if that is the case why does it take so long for victory? I may never know all the details this side of Heaven, but I do know this. If God is graciously granting me permanent freedom for such a time as this... For every day I have agonized, cried, felt isolated, ashamed and defeated; there is a story of His work, His story of a "crown of beauty instead of ashes", His redemption in spite of Satan's ploy for my demise, an opportunity for His radiant glory to be revealed and for an intimate relationship for me with the creator of the universe.
Because of the blood of Christ and the power of the Spirit, I will hold fast. I will stand firm. I will stand up and be counted Lord. I stand with the helmet of Salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith and the sword of your word. They may feel like they are 10 sizes to big Lord and intimidate me as they rattle when I move. .. You are my Jehovah Nissi Lord, you go before me and you come behind me. You hem me in from all sides and your banner over me is love. Glory to your name oh Father. Glory to the name of Jesus Christ!
This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. "

Holding Fast
This past week I was doing a devotional with my kids when the Lord gave me great encouragement through Daniel. In Chapter One of the book of Daniel, it reveals how Daniel listened to the conviction of the Spirit to abstain from parts of a lifestyle had been designed for him.
He had been taken prisoner by Nebuchanezzer along with 49 other top ranking Jewish young men after Babylon had taken over the Jewish land. First Nebuchanezzar ordered that they be made Eunichs to remove their strength, then he proceeded to educate them for 3 years to try to indoctrinate them into the Babylonian culture. He brought them near to his rule to keep close watch over them, but also in an attempt to win these young leaders over to embrace his rule. He gave them new names, new identities and fed them the finest fare of the civilization.
God reminded me of truths, that as Daniel felt conviction and obeyed the Spirit's leading to go against the grain and say no to food that had been offered as sacrifices to other Gods, God blessed Him with favor, strength, and further gifts of the Spirit (to have and interpret prophetic dreams). Isn't it amazing how difficult it feels to go against the tide of our culture - to stand up and be counted? As I go against the tide of the culture of my own heart and lifestyle during this fast I hold onto the promises that I will reap the blessings of obedience. They look different for every person and circumstance, but they will come. One of the blessings for me is to see how personal God is to specifically encourage me to hold fast to Him.
Give the Lord an opportunity, ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Jesus Christ has made a way for each of us and He longs to draw near. Be watching, if you ask Jesus to show Himself to you, you won't be disappointed.

The beginning...
I need to come clean about how this blog got started. I was reading another blog and wanted to respond and thought I had to have my own blog to do so. I can't imagine that anyone would really be interested in anything I have to say, but as I worshipped this morning I felt I needed to write some things down that I am 'wading through' as a testimony to why I wrote the things I did below my picture. If it encourages anyone who would ever visit this site so be it. To Him be the glory.
I have hit a road block in my spiritual life. This invades every part of me, as the Spirit has been given license to have every part of me. I have been dealing with a particular issue since I was about 8 and I can't shake it. I have done multiple bible studies by various people who have found victory in so many areas. I too have found victory. I set out to find victory in Subject A only to find victory in Subjects B, C, D.... Thank the Lord He knows what He is doing.
I have felt the Spirit whispering "fast" in my ear. I have fasted before, but I say, "Really? Are you sure?" So this morning I spent time in The Word and as I was researching fast, the Lord opened my eyes to so much more. I will list some of the scriptures here:
Deuteronomy 10:20
Listen to this passage
20 Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.
Deuteronomy 11:22
Listen to this passage
22 If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fast to him-
Deuteronomy 13:4
Listen to this passage
4 It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
Listen to this passage
19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Psalm 119:28-32
Listen to this passage
28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.
29 Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me through your law.
30 I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.
31 I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD; do not let me be put to shame.
32 I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.
It is so uncomfortable to be stretched. It can feel miserable to face the destruction that the world has to offer in relationships, health, personal wounds, circumstances, finances. I have truly found that when I am at my end that is when the LORD gets to begin. He just wants my surrender. He wants me to trust Him with all that I am. Everything I have experienced and read in His Word is that He truly is faithful and will be a gentleman with my emotions, heart, life... He has redeemed so much in my life! I will choose to hold fast to Him for this victory. I leave with this song. It may sound macabe, but I truly want this played/sang at my funeral because it is my life song.
It is sung by Darlene Zschech with Hillsong worship if it ministers to you.
I will bless the Lord forever
I will trust him at all times
He has delivered me from all fears
He has set my feet upon a rock
And I will not be moved
And I'll say to the Lord,
"You are my shield, my strength
My portion, deliverer, my shelter, strong tower
My very present help in time of need"
Who have I in heaven but You?
There's none I desire beside You.
You have made me glad,
And I'll say to the Lord,
"You are my shield, my strength
My portion, deliverer, my shelter, strong tower
My very present help in time of need"
Because I live in His undeserved grace from the time He conceived me in His mind for all eternity, I am a mark of His Mercy for Eternity....
