Seasons Change

For the last 3 years my life has been in a sort of topsy turvy state.  I feel I have been out in the sea being tossed around by the storm.  When I focus….I feel like Peter walking on the water toward Jesus. Then I feel like I am drowning as the waves crash upon me because I have turned to my circumstances and my focus has changed.  These 3 years have taught me many things.  I feel it has prepared me for a new thing that God has for me in my "Mature years".  I have recently turned to the 60's decade and surprisingly I feel God redirecting me in my ministry and life in several ways.  As I begin this journey I am excited to begin this blog again….I have revamped it…and hopefully this will be a place to record my journey and help others along the way.  So I invite you to come along with me as I share more of the ministries that I will be involved in as well as stories of what God is doing in my life as I continue on the journey to Get Grounded!

Ephesians 5:14-19

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family is in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith-that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

When Season's Change....

I have been trying to find the words to post after July 5th but everytime I try I get a little sick to my stomach and have to save it for another day.  These two videos I posted reminded me of several things:

1) Stephen Curtis Chapman - I must do everything I do for the Glory of God - even when no one sees remembering that God sees
2)  Clinging to Grass - When our world turns upside down and I do not understand why or how I can ever move on I must hold to the hand of my Lord - remembering everything that comes in my life is filtered through His fingers of love and I must hold to the hope found in Him and keep my faith without wavering. 

On July 5th when I stepped outside for a morning walk little did I know that this was to be the last time I would see my brother alive - and that was only a glimpse as he passed by on his way to work.  On Wednesday July 6th he never woke up and we discovered him that evening. 

Do everything to the Glory of God - remembering we are not promised the next breath and the same goes for our loved ones.  I have so many things "I wish" I had done - or said.  Without the comfort of my Lord - clinging to Him is the only thing that keeps me going through this time of grief. My God is with me and teaching me everyday and I know doors will be opened for me to share. My faith is being tested and my hearts desire is to come through stronger! 

Until then....I press on....
