'Sweet Redemption'

It’s been a while since my last blog post as I continue to seek God for what’s next, I recently had some wonderful clarity I had been praying for.

In 2006, after I had been reading the One Year Bible steadily for one year. I would wake up every night at 3:00 with what seemed chapter titles to a book. The odd part is the chapters weren’t written Funny. Today, as I smile and tears well up in my eyes, that would be a correct statement as most of the ‘story’ of each chapter was just being written (lived) with this new transformation of the way I used to live-‘the old me-sin nature’ verses this new ‘reborn me-Spirit Driven.’

The whole story is about ‘sweet redemption’ and knowing who I am in Christ, He is my provider, He will never leave me or forsake me, and most important there is NOTHING I can do in my own strength-it is all His. God loves me! His Word is the ‘truth and light’ I choose to live by.

In my last blog, I mentioned how God had begun healing so many areas of my life and many in my inner circle. He began shedding the ‘light’ I had been praying for what seemed ‘forever.’ If you’ve read my previous entries, you know the ‘storm’ we went thru and again, I pray you understand, I didn’t and couldn’t have gone thru this without this sweet God of ours and His Word holding my hand every step of the way with the daily Bible reading. (One Year Bible)

As I mentioned in the past, I don’t believe in coincidences. I do believe they are God’s way of being anonymous. ‘ One’ of the praise reports of the amazing healing God has done is my husband and I joined the church (Cross Timbers/Keller, Texas) we had been visiting that I mentioned in the past that really made us feel like we ‘had come home’ and are really part of a family. The Pastor, (Toby Slough) has incredible ‘anointing’ with his timing and delivery. The last song during the worship service was yes, you might guess, Blessed Assurance and the message was straight from Deuteronomy 8 which if you’re reading this blog, you see the name of the ministry God gave me and yup my complete testimony is based on this scripture. As he was talking, tears were running down my cheeks as I began to realize God was speaking to me.

These past couple months, I really sensed God was about to get me busy and yes that would be an understatement. I began working as a Chaplain in the ‘workplace’ as well as I have been doing some on-site Leasing with an amazing company where God is so present-unbelievable! Well-as it turns out, both humbled and sad, I ended up having to resign from the position of Chaplain as I realized I didn’t fit their model. I honestly felt the Lord was using me more with the on-site leasing. This was especially tough because you know how much the calling of Chaplain means to me. However, when I started liking the ‘title’ of Chaplain more than what this particular company did, I knew pride was setting in and I needed to let it go.

I’m not going to go into detail about how much things have changed in the past 4 months, but I will say with complete confidence GOD IS GOOD! He is a God of Redemption if you will choose to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, read the word, seek God, and begin the most incredible journey of your life where peace and joy become your life no matter what is going on!
