Sometimes.......

Sometimes  life brings us to  places we never thought we'd ever end up. Life does, or is it the Lord? Or is it  us? I guess it could be any combination of the three at any given time of our lives. Point being we end up some place  we don't necessarily care to be; a place filled with sadness and regret; trials and challenges or just maybe a place of change. Either way it proves uncomfortable and unwelcome. Does that mean we aren't supposed to be where we find ourselves at that moment in time?....Hmmmmm...good question. I have spent allot of time on this one lately. The answer "I": have gotten from the Lord is, "Not necessarily." 


Well, I can honestly say I know the feeling well. Undeserved, unfair treatment from unknown sources.  Rejection and betrayal in return for unconditional love. No answers for questions I haven't even finished asking in my head about crazy doctor reports. Right now in my life I find myself facing some of the toughest challenges I have ever had to face. I have it coming at me from all sides. I am in the middle of a spiritual battle that is affecting me at home, at work and in my extended family and causing relational issues that should never  even exist.  Craziness. Sheer craziness.

You know the Word of God tells us in Psalm 34:19

"The righteous person may have many troubles, 

   but the LORD delivers him from them all;"

Also in the Gospel of Matthew 5:45 Jesus talks about the love of our heavenly Father and tells us how the Heavenly Father,

"... gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

I have never been one to sugar coat anything....okay, well yeah, maybe I have...:)....but point being, life isn't a bowl of daisy's. 


Life can be and usually is....hard at times. If you are a person of character then you have been through hard times!


Below is a copy of  Isaiah 43:1-4 (the Message)


 I love this translation of  this verse......It is so passionate! I mean the scripture itself is passionate, but the Message translation puts it so plain and simple. I just LOVE it!

But now, God's Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, 

   the One who got you started, Israel:

"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. 

   I've called your name. You're mine.

When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you. 

   When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.

When you're between a rock and a hard place, 

   it won't be a dead end—

Because I am God, your personal God, 

   The Holy of Israel, your Savior.

I paid a huge price for you: 

   all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!

That's how much you mean to me! 

   That's how much I love you!

I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, 

   trade the creation just for you."

You know, I take time just about every day to write on my blog. I get quite a bit of feed back, private feed back, about it. I don't know why it is all private. That's okay. I have encourage people to post public comments in the past but for some reason people just don't feel comfortable doing so. That's ok. :)


What's important is that you all are ministered by what I share. BECAUSE I do this FOR YOU.


A while back, a year or so ago. A dear friend told me I needed to be more "bloggy" and transparent. Share my inner feelings and thoughts and stuff. You know, be "more real".


Well, let me assure you my precious friends everything I post is me and very real! :)


I am going through a time of trial and tribulation right now in my life.
At the same time I am head deep in love with my Master Yeshua  HaMashiach! He is my ROCK and he JoY of KnOwInG HIM gives me STRENGTH to carry on each day ! 


How? How do I find this JOY in Him? By spending time with Him....alone with Him....getting lost in Him....THAT is how I find the STRENGTH I need to make it through the tough times....the bad reports....the persecutions....the loneliness...the missing my kids...all the pain...the tears....all the misunderstanding through out all the years.....It ALL melts away just by being alone with HIM.

Lost in Him

Something I realized today...

The more lost I get get in Him ~ the less I find myself realizing that I am in another place ~ a distant place ~ a place many don't understand ~  some find odd ~ and some altogether completely avoid.

Still....I find it doesn't seem to matter to me that I find myself in this place, often times alone...with only my Lord by my side. I am completely satisfied....at peace....happy.

Lost in Him 






TRY IT....you may find you will never be the same again....you may never want what you didn't have before any more.


Get lost in HIM.
