You Might Be Set Apart

Do you ever feel left out or fear you're missing out?

Do you feel lonely in a crowd and wonder what's wrong with you or think other people wonder what's wrong with you?

Have you ever felt you're somehow too weird for the world or family you're in?

Do you feel like you're standing still while everyone else is racing by?

Have you wondered why you feel alone in a desert you just can't escape?

What if, instead of feeling left out, you accept the truth that God has set you apart for something great. You're that special.

Now while you wait for your assignment, ask Holy Spirit to send you His friends. We were not created to be alone.

"Maybe the reason you're in the desert is 

the desert needs your beauty." Ray Hughes

A Poem: Joyful Grace

The graceful way

Of an Iris

As she reaches to the sun...

Fragrant, hiding, free.

Noticed only by the one

Who cares to pay attention.

The flower is okay with that.

She blooms for no one.

Her joy is expressed solely in

Doing that which she

Is created for.

Radiant Promises

Today is a good day to rise above; look at life from a new perspective; see yourself as the beloved of a good Father; and remember you are not alone. You were made for love; for a purpose; with passions and dreams and the ability to achieve them with your Creator. Don't lose hope. Keep believing. Be thankful in your circumstances. Find the good in every situation. Love to all!

The Lord alone is our radiant hope...His wrap-around presence will strengthen us. Psalm 33:20 - The Passion Translation.

March 23 - The One Thing

Recently I was feeling overwhelmed. My brain was shorting out as I tried to remember all the little pieces of things I felt responsible for carrying out and completing.  I wrote them all down. When I finished, I realized there were too many for one little me. Exasperated, I prayed: "What am I to do? How did this happen? Why do I feel this way? What can I do?" And finally, "What is my purpose?"

In an instant, I sensed God speak: "You were created to be loved by Me and to let Me love others through you." Period. No more. No less.

Today, let's narrow our focus; shorten our lists; and build upon that for which we were created.

John 13:34 - "Love each other just as much as I have loved you."

In The Blink Of An Eye

My friend, Kim's, super giant tea
roses. Oh so sweet!

Sometimes…when you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing…and you have been praying for a long time for direction…and you keep taking steps toward your dreams…and you have waited in hope for a Word from God…He will speak. In a moment. In a secret. In a whisper. Through a friend. An angel. Through a teacher. A dream. A thought. He will do it. He promises to fulfill His purpose for your life.

What you want in life - He wants even more. He put your desires in you. He gave you your imagination. Don’t stop dreaming. Declare His goodness. Remember His promises. And all of a sudden…in the blink of an eye…overnight…everything will come into focus. Permission is granted. And you are on your way!

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:4-5
