thank you. He has surrounded me with people who read me pretty well. I now work with senior citizens and as I see them age I also see them no longer as ogre’s to be slaughtered but I see them as human’s who really need his love. I know that I have choices and those choices can lead me forward or pull me back and even hold me still. I am so thankful that there is always someone there to push me forward, go back with me or stand next to me. It does not matter just knowing is healing sometimes.

He is absolutely our Avenger. (Which in some ways should burden us for the souls of those who will stand before Him without hope of redemption.) I’m so sorry for your hurts and your pain. Praying now that God would continue to mend.

Love you, sister. “If we choose not to turn the knob, we are left restless.” You bless me with your walk. 🙂

Thank you, friend. I think you’re right. We have to choose to press into Him — reaching for Him like that woman reaching for Jesus through the crowds.

Decided I’ll have to watch the video after the kids go to bed. You know, when it’s silent. {schoolgirl giggling]

The healing for this young girl who went there seems so simple now I don’t know why I never saw it before. As a small child and as I grew I was horribly wounded, physically, sexually and spiritually. At 13 I screamed, yelled, comtiplated the removal of what little remained of myself. As I angrily shared, yelled, screamed inside to God WHY, what was I to do. Why were they allowed to do this. It stopped for awhile but the feelings did not. As I grew so did my unrest to avenge but to avenge meant to drag now my husband and children through things they did not need to know existed in the world. One day I stood in my backyard and looked up to heaven and told God I really struggled to believe he existed and at that time I saw the clouds form int a face, I looked away and said thank you, then he whispered, at their end time they have to account to me about their lives and all their sins They have to answer to me. I said Thank you and cried. I became a different person.

Lara…thank you for being a welcomed part of my morning cup of coffee. Today, this morning I faced decisions with a client that awoke my slumber in the night. First reaction anxiety, next, pray. The world would advocate firing the client. My God told me to preach the law in love and I will deal with her. See…just like that throneroom you spoke of today, he has mercy and love for us, but if we choose not to turn the knob, we are left restless, wanting, hungry. Thank you so much for sharpening me. For being transparent. And being a mom raising God honoring little people for my children to share their generation with.

I must be living under a similar rock, so thanks for sharing the video.
