Be Deliberate

I appreciate the silence of the early mornings. No television, no noise accept for the occasional car driving past, the slight hum of the refrigerator I value silence. Watching the sun rise taking in all that God has done. Silence. Peace. With working in a call center, the duties are rewarding but the constant chatter that goes on can be enough to cause one to stand on top of their desk and shout, SHUT UP WILL YOU!! Now that would not be a nice thing to do though I could see myself doing just that, in my Daffy Duck voice. I often wonder why it is hard for many to sit still, be silent and just hear, nothing. Or, hear the sound of their own heart beat. Hear the sound of the blood running through their veins. Now I know that is not possible but, what if.

I love the morning time because this is my time to pull it all together and ask God that one question, what today Lord? It is my time to sit and offer the Lord my requests, forgive me and restore me. It is also a time for me to put my life in prospective and focus on the vision. The vision God has instilled in me that I so haphazardly at times fail to acknowledge fully.  In doing so, I quiet my spirit, I quiet my soul. Peace. 

To fully understand our walk and duty as Gods children, we must deliberately take a time out and silence the chaos that we allow and create, some we have no choice but to be partakers of. Though God can speak at anytime and in any situation. He values being able to know you are waiting for Him to speak, seeking Him in silent meditation, expecting Him.  What an awesome God who can do all things and in all ways.  

Psalm 37 is one of many examples of the requirement God places on His children. Such as stated in the 7th verse, Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devises to pass.  The first four words says it all, rest in the Lord. This is one of the many reasons I love being silent. My strength is renewed and my spirit is refreshed. My open closet.  That peace really can only come from God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.  

I encourage those of you who took the time to read this blog, to take a step back from your normalcy and step into God's peace. Seek Him and expect Him. He is waiting for you with open arms and a love that will never die. He is expecting you. He will refresh you, restore you and give you the desires of your heart. 

Be deliberate.

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must.   An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win.   Being a runner on the track is the same as

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment.  After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today.  I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it?  The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha
