Shouldn't be doing this

I shouldn’t be doing this at work.  As you and I both know blogs have come few and far between lately.  It’s not because I don’t have lots I want to say.  It’s because I have an enemy who’s trying to keep me from saying what God wants me to say. 

Was last week a tough one for you too??  Isn’t it funny how the closer we get to prayers being answered, or to what we believe is the perfect will of God every adversity comes pounding our way?? 

I literally stumbled across this song last week.  I haven’t heard it in years.  I fought to control tears, but when I could get home that night and let it out, I did.

 

 

I was reminded yesterday of Dottie Rambo, one of the greats in gospel music.  She battled her health for years, praised God the entire time, and then just as she was returning, she was tragically killed in a bus accident.  So many others.  Vestal Goodman, another Gospel great, died from the flu on a trip to Florida with her family.  Remember Anthony Burger??  He was the pianist on the Gaither Homecoming videos.  He died just after performing at the age of 44.  http://www.baptistcourier.com/277.article

I have really spent the last couple of days thinking about the parable of the talents, what the Bible says about the suddenness of Christ’s return, and a host of other things. 

Sunday church was amazing, and if you weren’t there you need to request a video of the service.  It was Roger being totally transparent, and I don’t know when I’ve been more touched by his preaching than during that service. 

You can’t help but sense Christ return if you know Him.  The Holy Spirit just will not allow us to escape that truth.  We can deny the truth, but we can’t escape it.
 
The things that we pour our lives into, will those things matter when we stand before Christ??  That’s pretty much the bottom line.

OK...so I daily I look on faithfreaks, and wordpress and here to see read your blogs, and to get my daily dose of encouragement from you! I have noticed the decline in your blog writing. But I have realized that the times I have not writing, were the times satan was putting thoughts, guilt,junk etc in my way of getting my thoughts on paper, or on my blog sites. I love that you are real, and that you push others to be the same, but what I love even more about you is that you strive and wrestle with your circumstances and refuse to be still in the moment. You want God to be in charge of your marriage, your income, your purpose, your dreams and this year you have let thigns just happen and God has and is continuing to move! Intentional...hmmm i like that word:) I love you and I am so thankful for you being in my life! FFF only weeks a way!
