Spring is here.
Change is here.
Tearfully, I share~for me personally, the last 5 years have been 5 of the longest years, 5 of the hardest years of personal growth and 5 of the the BEST years of coming to know God as my provider and with Him ALL things are possible!
Again with tears, I will share it was 5 years ago that God allowed me to divorce and gave me the opportunity to seek Him with all that I am. It was at this time, I heard George W. Bush read the Bible from start to finish every year. I had tried many times to read the Bible (all the way thru) however, never got past Genesis. After hearing about Bush, I was led to get the One Year Bible. What an amazing 'tool' this Bible has been during a time 'many' knew was a 'make it or break it' time for me. It has 15 minute daily readings of the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalm and Proverbs. I started reading March of 2005. In the beginning, there were days I read and yes~days I didn't. I would feel guilty~ so I would read the days I missed. One day, I felt God tell me, yesterday was just that, begin with TODAY because it is just that~Today!
In my Testimony, I share, how MANY days in the Bible would speak of things that were happening in my life~yes, on that VERY day of what I read that morning.
In my Testimony, I've shared, it was a 'duh' moment when I read Deuteronomy 8(2005). A couple days later, it began stirring in me that I was close to being 40.....
My Testimony completely 'involves' this One Year Bible as most of the days in the Bible were the days God was showing me how I was living my life according to His WORD!
As tears are flowing down my face, Deuteronomy 8 is coming soon. With such 'sweetness,' I will share God has given me 40 years of 'tests' and is now Blessing me as He is moving me to a land flowing with milk and honey. I am beginning my 'New Season' with a new home for my daughter's to be with me as well as 'new doors' are beginning to open for me to Glorify God with the Passion he created in me that is bigger than me, but not bigger than Him.
It is this Bible that has become my ROCK. It is this Bible that has given me the strength TODAY to be able to share the MANY Blessings I am receiving. It is with THIS Bible I know more than ever my God given gifts~my passion! I think many who know me (or those who don't) think I'm 'sellin' this Bible as if I wrote it or something silly. NO. So many in 'the' church know the Religion(the History) of the Bible. As I'm finding out more and more, sad to say, not many 'in the church' are reading, receiving, and living the Bible.
It is my prayer that you recognize my 'Passion' as you are reading. It is my 'true passion' to help those of you who are lost. Or, help you if you honestly don't know 'how' to read, receive, and live the WORD of GOD as your strength and comfort in your every time of need.
I pray for you as you begin your 'New Season'.....Trusting God for ALL!
