Seeking God...a must!

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13

I have a confession to make,  there are times I don't seek the Lord.  When this happens life tends to get a little hectic.  Even worse I feel like I am in a dry season of life where I can't find fulfillment anywhere or in anything that I do. I find myself slipping into " Little Miss Independence" mode, where I start to do things in my own strength.  This my friend is not good to place  to be!  Take a moment and reflect on this...Say you have a best friend who your spend most of your time with and share everything with.  Then all of a sudden your friend is not around anymore.  What happens next is almost like a grieving process, you feel as if the life around you has disappeared.  You find ways to bring that life back into your life.  Well my friend that is what happens when I do not seek the Lord with all my understanding in all things that I do.  I have learned if I want to hear God's voice then I need to seek God's voice.  My prayer for myself and you is that you do just that.  God has so much to offer each and everyone of us, and he is waiting with open arms.  When you think there is not a way out God can give you the way out.  I am making a fresh commitment to the Lord to seek him daily not only by reading his word, but by going into prayer.  I want my life to filled with him and less of me. That way I know he is in charge and not me.  ~Blessings~ Missie

Water

The faucet in my kitchen was slowly not letting the water come out, in fact it had turned into a very thin stream of water.  I must confess I am not very handy in the ways of fixing things.  I know of guys in my church that I probably could ask to come fix it, but sometimes I let pride get in the way.  So, here I am with a faucet that is not working, and this had been happening for months.  You know there was something else that needed my time and attention.  Well, it got so bad that when I turned the faucet on hardly any water came out.  Over a period of time I had been sending silent prayers to God about getting it fixed.  I have full confidence in my Heavenly Father that he will provide all of my needs.  How do I know this? It says in his word,  I will surely and abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor and bread. Psalm 132:15.  I  believe God and the word that he speaks, so I know his promise to be true. After a hard day of school, coming home and taking care of my kiddos it was bed time.  In my dream that night God showed me how to fix my broken faucet.  All I had to do was unscrew the bottom piece and clean out the filter.  When I woke up In gave the dream a passing thought and went about my day.  It was not until a couple of days later as I was attempting to do dishes did I remember the dream.  I stopped what I was doing and did exactly what God had instructed in my dream.  After doing this said okay God it's your turn...

...I turned on the faucet and water came pouring out in a regular flow!  I did a little happy dance and thanked God for showing me the way.  I know to some this sounds odd, but as I mentioned earlier I am not one to fix things, but I cling to the promises that God is my provider and he will take care of all of my wants and desires.  He knows my needs and provides for them.  What I do in return is to trust him completely  in all areas of my life.  For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. Psalm 33:4.    My challenge to you is to trust him with every thing, and he will surprise you beyond your wildest imagination.  Just take that step of faith and see what happens.  Blessings, Missie

God's home for me.

In November  2010 God provided my son and I a home that we could call our own.  It was given to me by a construction company who bought eight trailers in a park for a dollar each.  They fixed them up and sold them.  Each partner in the construction company was able to take one and do with it what they wanted to.  At the time I was working for a family that has an autistic daughter, dad was one of the partners.  I loved working with her and her family.  The family attended church, so on the mornings where Abby was getting ready I would
have a mini bible study with her dad.  ( names have been changed for privacy)  One day he asked me to bring Abby by the trailer park for lunch.  We got there and he started showing me the work that they were doing on the trailers.  Then he turned to me and said, "which one do you want"? I looked at him like your kidding right? Again, he asked, "which on do you want"? I was speechless and he smiled and said,"this is the one I was thinking about for you".  I said, "perfect"!  The back story behind this is: My oldest daughter was moving out of the home we shared and I could no longer afford the rent.  I had no place to go and I did not have the money to get us into a new place.  As much as I loved my job it hardly paid the rent if at all.  Now I had a home, but it was not ready for us to move into.  I sent out a mass text to my friends in hopes of finding a place for my son and I to stay until it was ready.  Back then it was really hard for me to ask for help, by asking for help I was humbling myself.  The main reason I did it was for my son Corry.  A friend from church responded and Corry and I stayed there until our trailer was finished.  Every time I drive up to my home I feel such a feeling of undeserved grace.  God loves me beyond measure I can't even imagine it  ."Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His loving kindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.  Deuteronomy 7:9   The lesson God has taught me in all this is to remain faithful to him, to cherish what he has provided for me, and to be thankful in everything that happens.  To be thankful through the good and the bad, for he can take any situation and turn it to the good in a heart beat.  I have learned to take care of the things he has given me such as my children,  my home,  and the call he has on my life. ( that will be a post for another day)     Faith in God is all that is needed and the rest God has control of.   "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."  Matthew 17:20

Secret Place

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1

I have just spent an incredible couple of days at an encounter that my church puts on about twice a year.  I was on the prayer team praying for people as they went through the encounter.  What an amazing time it was, to be able to stand in the gap and pray for someone else so they might come to know God.  To take myself out of my own personal spotlight, and put other people needs first is so rewarding while life changing at the same time. In between prayer sessions we would have lessons on how to have the heart of an intercessors which was very powerful and eye opening.  What I also learned was I needed to get in my secret place on a daily basis if I wanted to get closer to God.  I already knew this but I received a fresh vision on what God wants for me. In addition, I made a new commitment to read his word on a daily basis.  I have been reading his word, but I was filled with a fresh desire to get into his word almost like a hunger to be spiritually feed.  I am excited for this new journey God has put me on I only want to be closer to him.
