Who knew? no regrets...

Certainly not I.

Did you?


I mean seriously - if I had known - I would have done things a whole lot differently. Well at least I think I would have - I mean - without actually knowing how things would have been, had they been different than they actually are, it's kinda hard to say, truthfully, what I would do [just being honest here]  But knowing myself as well as I do [which I am finding out as each day passes, isn't as well as I thought] I am pretty darn sure, I would have done allot of things differently, had I been given the opportunity.


So, how about you?






I know, I know. We can't change anything now. It does us no good to dwell on the past.
That is not my intention by any means.
However, sometimes it is good to glance back and remember from whence we have come from.
Where the Lord has delivered us.


It can help us in our current situation. 
Where we are in life - in our walk with God - Remind us of God's faithfulness, of His love, His grace, His compassion, His peace, in a very personal way.


It's easy to forget.
Life has a way of stealing all of God's precious gifts  away - if we let it - if we're not oh so careful.
Life's busy schedules, relationship issues, troublesome financial situations, every day burdens can creep in unawares and before we know it, the gift of waking up every morning, is transformed into a burdensome involuntary ritual. Lacking peace and leaving us wanting.  

The Cost of Being a Disciple

 A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them,  “If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.  And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.

 “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? ²⁹ Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’

 “Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him?  And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

Luke 14:25-33

No regrets

No regrets

I have followed you

No regrets I have counted the cost

No regrets

You are all and everything I desire - You are all - you are all there is for me

Come Holy Spirit - Come - Holy Spirit - Come Holy Spirit

Fill Me - Fill Me 

Come Holy Spirit - Come - Holy Spirit - Come Holy Spirit

Fill Me - Fill Me

I have no regrets - I have left it all behind

No regrets - I have left it ALL

And you - I want you - only you - nothing more

YOU - I want YOU - Nothing more than you - Jesus

Jesus - show me you - I want you

You are so beautiful- YOU are so wonderful

Jesus my heart beats for you alone

You are so wonderful Jesus

You are all I long for 

You are so beautiful my Lord

You are so beautiful

You are so beautiful 

You are so beautiful

To me

I have left it all for you

and  

I have no regrets

Gutt feelings

Sometimes we just have to go with them.  It could mean the difference between life or death in some instances.
Why is it though, that we hesitate so much of the time to act upon our "gutt feeling" ? Or sometimes known as our 'intuition"....or I have even used the term, (affectionatly) "the little birdie"....or "small voice" in my head.
What ever or however we describe it IT IS something we all have built-in and I believe built-in as a  SAFE GAURD, by none other than our creator Himself....TO HELP US OUT along lifes journey.
So again, I pose the question,  "Why do we NOT listen to our gutt feelings, small still voice, little birdie or intuition like we should?"

What'cha looking at ME for?

I am actualy asking the question for real.

A Word from the Lord/ A Storm Like No Other

I received this this morning about 6 a.m.

A Word  from the Lord

07/26/2012

A Storm Like No Other – Be Ready So God Can Use You

I will come like the rain down upon you

Like a heavy rain that falls in the midst of a great storm with thunder and lighting and wind all around.

My rain will fall down upon  all who are in the path of the storm

For those that have set themselves apart, unto me – those that have devoted themselves to be “Holy as I am Holy” – to those,  my rain will refresh – renew – and restore.

To those who do not know me – who have chosen to separate themselves from my grace and my love – who have chosen to reject my Son – to these that have set themselves apart from me – the rain will also  fall - the mighty wind will come as well – the thunder and lightning all around – and with all this destruction will come and  sadly,  many people will  suffer the effects of this destructive storm.

When the storm has passed – all those who have set themselves apart unto me – those that have devoted themselves to “be Holy as I am Holy” -  those that have been renewed and restored by my rain – by my holy spirit –these precious ones I shall send forth to those that came through the storm – the survivors that were not my own – did not set themselves apart unto me – I will send my faithful ones – they shall be MY hands, MY feet, MY mouth piece.  I shall send them to go forth and bring comfort, healing, deliverance and salvation to a lost, dying and desperate world.

This is the day of salvation.

Chick-fil-A

• Just when you thought this whole thing couldn't get more irrational, now we have "Boss" Rahm Emanuel, mayor of Chicago, hoping to prevent a legitimate business from locating in his city because one of the owners happens to believe in the Biblical view of marriage. Will Rahm seek to evict the Catholic and Evangelical churches because their priests and pastors not only believe it, but preach that from their pulpits? Has Rahm Emanuel been elected to an office high enough to give him the ability to censor the speech of people he disagrees with?
  
  Here is the issue: Chick-fil-A is in the chicken business. No one has said they discriminate against customers or employees or serve an unsafe product. In fact, they are known for exceptional service to their guests, they are beloved by their employees, and obviously the food must be good to grow to 1600 stores. This is about a small but disproportionate minority of militants who are attempting to bully a family and a business and are spewing vile hate speech toward the company because one of its executives said something they dislike and disagree with.
  
  We are asking all the participants on August 1 and those who post on the blogs to be respectful, kind, and civil no matter what. We are not against anyone or anything. We are for the freedom of Americans to speak their mind and practice their faith. There is no need to lower ourselves into childish name-calling and screaming. That is what people do when they can't defend or explain their point of view.
  
  If Chick fil-A forced its customers to sign an oath stating they are heterosexual before they could buy a chicken sandwich, the angry critics would not only have a point, but I would join them. I think it is great that Chick-fil-A is run by people with a Biblical world view and they operate it based on Biblical values, but there is a bigger issue. That's not what this is about. The company sells chicken and doesn't force a view on its customers or employees, but the owners shouldn't be disenfranchised from their citizenship and rights of free speech, nor should they be kept from operating their business in cities across the country because a few "wanna be tyrants" disagree with their beliefs.
  
  We're simply asking people to eat chicken and not to be one when it's time to take a stand-our appreciation is not only for the views of Dan Cathy, but for his right to have them and express them freely.
