Waiting Season

 I've been in a waiting season that seems to be as long Apostle Paul's was... but there has been an encouraging amount of studying that I've been able to do. I have definitely gotten to know the Lord through all of this. There is times where I have thought, "okay, am I just waiting because I'm scared to get out there due to my past? Or is this the Lord holding me back for something special - and getting to know Him more so that I may help others?" Probably YES to both.

I used to blog when I was living in sin. I'd have a ton of pictures to go with my rants but most of the time, I didn't make sense because I couldn't. My mind was warped in self-fulfillment and not God's satisfaction. I have noticed that there has been a restoration of love for blogging again now that I'm doing with a heart for God and giving Him the glory, for sure!

Then I've wondered if I should podcast - no, not because it is popular, but because I have a lot to talk about... maybe? I don't know. I've thought about vlogging but what is there to vlog about? Crochet and kiddos? Maybe? I don't know what to do with my life, so I'm just going to keep my eyes focused on the kingdom of the Lord and see that everything else will be added onto me (Matthew 6:33). 

I definitely can tell you that I haven't blogged this quickly in a long time - meaning the words are coming quickly as I type. He definitely is doing something through me. Lately, at night when my daughter Emma wakes me, I felt the spirit of the Lord so quickly and so thick upon me that I wonder if Jesus is here with me now! 

He has been showing me that He wants to have new wineskins for the new wine that He is pouring out. Then it is about my faith and walking that out. From James 1:2-4 it says that I am to consider it pure joy, whenever I face trials of many kinds, because I know that the testing of my faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that I may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Does that mean that my faith is being tested in this waiting season in hopes that He will move in such an incredible way that I won't know how to contain it? Sure, that is what the word says too! But when Lord, when? 

Doesn't matter about when, what matters is staying focused on Him!

Joyful Home Welcomes You! :)

Crocheting To Bless

Image
Some of the activities that I have been doing in my life, is crocheting. When I start on a project, I'll ask the Lord who He would like for me to bless this time. As I was creating this sweater, I didn't have anyone on my heart until it was finished. A wonderful beautiful 13 year old girl got this one. I love surprising people with handcrafted gifts. It brings so much delight!

Omnipresent God - Attributes of the Most High

 What does omnipresent mean? God is everywhere. His presence is near and permeating. He is passing through the pores or interstices of a substance; human race.  Psalm 139:7-10 (NKJV) talks about the all-present God is with us. God's perfect knowledge of us. "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven You are there, If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me." What does verse 9 mean? "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea..." The spread and speed of light spilling into the morning sky from East to West. Light itself cannot outrun God's presence and knowledge. "Even there Your hand will lead me." His hand is a hand of love and care. His "right hand will hold me" is the hand of skill and stren...

My Provider

Unsplash-Sixteen Miles Out Today started out a little too early for me but all is well. Emma woke up at 3:00am and didn't want to go back to sleep. Very unlike her, so I know that this will not be a daily routine thing. I did learn a few things through my tiredness hanging out with her and the Lord.  Philippians 4:18,19 (NLT) "...they are a sweet smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus."  Paul was grateful of the Philippian church that sent him a financial gift of help and he was stating that these gifts were sweet-smelling to the Lord. While I was in the kitchen with Caleb getting my coffee, I smelt a beautiful flowery smell. I asked him, "do you smell that?" He said that he didn't. I said that maybe it is the Lord allowing me to smell it and described the smell as spring flowers. Sometimes sacrifices com...
