It's not over!
Bible Reading Today: Jeremiah 46-48
Jeremiah 46:28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
God deals differently with His children than He does with those who oppose Him. Correction is not a reason to give up! God's re-direction is not a reason to say it's not worth it! The Lord will not make a full end of us! For those who choose evil & wickedness, they have chosen their path...and it's not promising! But God's promises always hold true. God does not correct those without a desire & passion to serve Him! Think about it...a child will grow up to appreciate correction because it was done out of love, on both sides. But if someone does not long to belong to God, correction won't change a thing! Correction is not a form of wrath & judgement, it's a form of love! Don't give up on living for God when the going gets tough, when opposition arises, or even when God wants to change something in us. It's not over...it's just beginning!
"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." Hebrews 12:6

Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
The Heart of the Struggle
Focus Scripture: But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19 Hello again! It's been about 4 months since I've stepped back into this space, and I have to say, I am taking very gentle steps. It's been on my heart so much to write again, but I am treading lightly. I may not post every day, unless God leads me there again...but for now, I am just moving forward in God's grace. I have some blog ideas stored up that I've been saving over time as I reflect upon His...
