Faith

Hello, my friends! I know I've been off of here for a while! Sorry! It's been so busy! May has flown by and I cannot believe that we are almost half way through this year.

This past month has been one of growing in the Lord. He has taught me many, many things, but the most dominant one has been faith. Faith in God sounds fairly simple. I have always believed in God... believed that He could do the impossible... but God has been showing me that true faith, is so much more than that.

Faith is an expectant waiting for God to the impossible. It is anxiously waiting for, with a heart knowledge that it is going to happen, your miracle, your answer to prayer, your need to be met. Faith takes action. To have faith you must pray and talk to your Heavenly Father! He is the only one who can help you believe the way you should. You must put that faith in action by standing on and claiming that God is going to do what He said, no matter how impossible it looks. It is KNOWING that God is going to answer prayer and proclaiming that not only in your heart but verbally. It is planning for the situation, circumstance, etc... as if the answer to prayer has already happened. Faith is taking our hands completely off of the situation/ our life, and saying "Lord, this is COMPLETELY in Your hands! I CANNOT do this. I CANNOT work this out. ONLY YOU, can do this... ONLY YOU can work a miracle... ONLY YOU, can answer these prayers!" That is faith in action. That is TRUE Faith.

Having true faith doesn't mean that you're not going to have doubts sometimes. The Devil will work overtime to make you feel doubtful, like the situation is hopeless and that we are going to look like a fool for saying that God is going to do something so "impossible". That is not wrong, for the Devil will always try us... where it becomes wrong, is when we listen to him instead of rebuking the Devil and proclaiming once again with SURETY and CONFIDENCE that God IS going to answer prayer, that He IS going to do the impossible, and that He WILL fulfill His promises.

God will bolster our Faith and will give blessings to us if we continue to ask Him for His help and if we continue to TRULY believe that He IS going to do exactly what He said He would do. Faith is abandoning our feeble attempts to "make it work" and giving it ALL to God, and allowing Him to not just "make it work" but to "make it perfect"!

Just a few lessons I've been learning... Hope this helps someone as much as it's helped me!

Have a wonderful Tuesday, my friends!

Happy Mother's Day!

A very Happy Mother's Day to my Beautiful Mum! Thank-You, for always being a consistent Christian example to me! Thank-You, for always loving me, supporting me, and showing me that God's in control! Thank-You, for believing in me when no one else does! Thank-You, for taking care of me, our home, and doing all the little things you do! They don't go unnoticed! Thank-You, for being my best friend... my confidant... my safe place... my shoulder to cry on... the arms of comfort and love. Thank-You, for being there especially through these last few months. Thank-You, for letting me grieve... but thank-you, especially for always pointing out the fact that I have to trust God! Thank-You, for praying for me and lifting me up to God! Thank-You, for just being you... You're so so so special and there is no one else in the world that could ever take your place in my heart! I love you, Mom, with all my heart! I'm so thankful God gave me you, to be my Momma! You're the best one in the whole world!

Love Now and Always,
Your Daughter

Good Things Come From Above

But the only way to see them is by lifting up my eyes! The Lord spoke to me so clearly on Sunday and told me this. Lift up your eyes, Holly, there are good things coming, but you can't see them if your always looking at the ground! You can't see the mountain top (victory) if your looking at the valley (trial). So, I will life up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help! Feeling happy in Jesus this week! No matter the trial or the test, if I keep my focus upward, on HIM, I will see victory ahead... HEAVEN! If that's not enough to keep me going, I don't know what is! :) I have peace. Peace in the midst of trouble, there is peace in the midst of the storm. Peace because of God's presence! I can be in the middle of a roaring sea and still have peace! Praise the Lord for His peace! Peace which passeth all understanding... why does it pass all understanding? Because, normally there would not be peace in the middle of a bad storm at sea. There would be anxiety, fear, and confusion. But with Jesus as my Captain, I have peace. So thankful for my Heavenly Father, today and all that He's done for me! I love You, precious Jesus, with all of my heart!

Good Friday~

What else can I post today, other than a BIG THANK-YOU, to Jesus! Thank-You, for paying the ultimate price! Thank-You, for saving a wretch like me! Thank-You, for giving Your ALL for me! Thank-You, for loving me when I was unlovable! Thank-You, for Your grace and mercy! Thank-You, for SUNDAY...for RISING AGAIN! Thank-You, precious Jesus, for it all! I love You, Lord!


Because of what He's done for me... This is the least I can do in return... Embrace the Cross. PLEASE pause the music at the bottom of this page, and listen to this song!

My Heart's Cry

Giving My Life Away

Words and Music by Nate Sabin © Lorilu Music

1.I’ve seen a vision harsh and sweet,
Of One who gave all He had for me.
I’ve felt the passion of His death
And the forgiveness in His final breath.
Now I can never be the same.
My heart has been forever changed;
I’ve got to live and love and give the way He gave.


CHORUS: I’m giving my life away, laying it down on the altar;
Now I’m giving my life away, the very least I can offer is my all.
So here I stand today, giving my life away.


2.No earthly price could be too great;
No sacrifice too much to make.
No way of measuring the cost next to the blood of Calvary’s cross.
So if I live, I live for Him; or if I die, I count it gain.
My life is not my own, but His from this day on.


CHORUS: I’m giving my life away, laying it down on the altar;
Now I’m giving my life away, the very least I can offer is my all.
So here I stand today, giving my life away.

I'm a seeker of His heart

Hope you enjoy this song! Truly this is my heart's cry!

Jesus,I want to always be a seeker of Your heart! At this special time of year, I look back and think of what You did for me at Calvary... I am again awed by how much You love me! I have fallen deeper in love with You, precious Jesus, and realize again how much I owe You! You gave everything for me, I in return, owe EVERYTHING to You! I am so unworthy! Jesus, You are Worthy! Worthy of ALL of my praise and adoration!

Stop. . .Drop. . . Roll

When the storms of life come and you don't know what to do, there is one formula that assures us overcoming victory!

Stop. Stop trying to take care of things on our own. Quit running here and there trying to take care of this, fix that, quench that bit of gossip or wrong doing.

Drop. Drop to our knees and give HIM full control of the situation. Jesus knows and has the power to take care of us! If He can say "Peace be still" and the waves instantly become calm, then why do we hesitate to give Him our problems? He SPOKE the world into existence. . . and we "wonder" if He can take care of our storm? Oh Yes, He can take care of it alright. . . it's just a matter of our faith in Him. Do we trust Him enough to let Him take care of it in His time?

Roll. Let the Hallelujahs ROLL! Yes, praise Him in the storm! What's that song say? "God wants to hear you sing, when the waves are crashing round' you, when the fiery darts surround you, when despair is all you see. God wants to hear your voice when the wisest man has spoken, says your circumstance is hopeless as can be. That's when God wants to hear you sing." That pretty much says it all :) Praising Him is a very effective way to have victory. The Devil HATES for us to praise on purpose. What is praising on purpose? That's praising Jesus, for the full deliverance we KNOW is coming! Praising HIM for answered prayer when we don't see it being answered. Praising HIM for peace when the waves are 1,000 feet tall and tossing your boat around. That my friend, is praising on purpose. It's trust that KNOWS, He will answer prayer and deliver us, In His Time.

So the next time Satan comes around. . . Stop. Drop. Roll.

Good night, my friends! Remember. . .
~God's in His Heaven. All's right with the world!~
