load lifted ...

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 46 : 1

  Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.2 Thessalonians 3 : 16 

Dear God,

packing up my inspire wall ...

Dear God,

The past few weeks i have come to realize that i was grieving something i never knew existed.

It was only as i began to pack up my house to paint ... i bought the boxes but struggled for weeks to start packing everything away ... just could not find the energy to put my books and pictures and accumulated stuff into the boxes ... as i sat down and pondered why ... I REALIZED ... the expectation that i had unknowingly put on myself when moving to Sydney ... the unspoken unwritten perfectionist overachiever in me had been conspiring to achieve her dreams before her time in Sydney came to an end ... classic looking at the final result and not paying attention to the journey ...

SO i pondered all my over achiever dreams and pondered all that i have accomplished ... gave a voice to my grief ... and watched a sad movie ... and had a chat with you.

Sometimes my plans can overtake Your Plans for my life ... even when i subconsciously deny it ... the truth always come out.

Thanks for knowing me better than i know myself.
 
 Love ya always

Teena

God's Goodness ...

"... raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,  that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,  not of works, lest anyone should boast."

Ephesians 2 : 6 - 9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9

...

Our Savior ...

To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—  to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Jude 1 : 24 - 25

...

standing in the gap ...

 
Dear God,

As you know I had a God inspired awakening this morning ... my realization of exactly how judgmental I have been about an issue in my life ... as always clarity arose and I heard what you are really calling me to do ... and that is 'stand in the gap' ... when all seems lost and family are weathered by storms ... STAND IN THE GAP for them ... AND PRAY !

Thanks for being my ever after ... my strength and shield.

Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

Mark 6:50  (Jesus speaking)

 
Love ya always
