Just Let Him Lead
May 14, 2013
Has there ever been a time in your life where you knew you were not where you wanted to be and you are pretty sure how you got to where you are, but you don’t know how to get to where you want to be?
Has there ever been a time when you lost sight of your purpose in life? You knew what it was, and you knew that you wanted to be living that purpose, but for some reason, your vision is distorted at the time and you are not living life to your fullest.
Have you ever said you were not going to do a certain thing, but found yourself doing the exact thing that you didn’t want to do? And then you kept on doing it because you got comfortable and it was just easier to keep doing it?
Wow… this is not a good place to be. Anyone who has ever been there can contest to that! So I guess the question to ask ourselves is how do you fix it? How do you get sight of your vision back? How do you walk away from something that you are comfortable and temporarily happy in? How do you get to where you want to be and be the person that you know you have the potential to be?
There really is only one answer and that answer is to ask Jesus to bring you to that place! We cannot do it on our own. And if we are in this place that I am talking about, we probably are not walking as close to Jesus as we should be.
Proverbs 16:9 says, “In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord established their steps.”
So what happens when we plan our course, but then don’t look to the Lord to establish our steps? What happens when we step out on our own?
That’s when we get to a place that we did not actually plan to be in. We made our plans, but we sure didn’t think they would take us to THIS place!
So what do we do when it is too late and we are already at that place? We “Seek the LORD while we can find Him. Call on Him now while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6)
You RUN after Him with all your heart because He is the only one who can save you from yourself. So next time you find yourself in an unexpected place, cry out to the Lord and He will show up. He will pick you up and lead you to the place that He has planned out for you from the beginning. You just have to be willing to let Him.
Headed Back To Prison
May 14, 2013 Last night was our first meeting for Hidden Treasures Prison Ministry! It was a great meeting! I am so excited about this new opportunity that God is bringing in my life! Even if they don’t let me back in prison, I will still find a way to get to those women in [...]
The Simple Life
May 6, 2013 I know I am a horrible blogger these days! Even this blog has sat on my computer for a week waiting to be finished! I just don’t sit down and find the time to write about anything! I rarely am even journaling. All these things that I had planned on doing [...]
Perfect Gifts Right On Time!
April 22, 2013 Let me just say how good God is! And how right on time He is at ALL times! Last week He brought a gift into my life that I had been needing and yearning for since I got out of prison. Although I have a great support group and great friends in [...]
A Slow Fade
April 12, 2013 This morning I am reading in Joshua. I seem to find myself in Joshua 23 a lot. I think the Lord is very serious about these commands. Joshua 23:9-13 says: “The Lord has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you. One of you routs [...]
Waking Up In His Presence
April 6, 2013 Wow! This is beautiful! Sitting in the hotel lobby, looking out at a courtyard with a gorgeous bubbling fountain. It is quiet. Everyone is still sleeping. This morning I got to sleep in till my body woke up… no alarm clock (which still has me up at 6am) and I feel refreshed! [...]
Women’s Retreat 2013
April 5, 2013 I am so excited right now! Tonight I get to go to my first women’s retreat as an adult! I can remember asking Shauna once in prison if there were “youth rally’s” for adults. Her response was “Yes, every time we go to church.” And she was right. Church for an adult [...]

Place of Refuge
March 16, 2013 This morning I am reading in Joshua 20 about the cities of refuge that God told Joshua to prepare for the Israelites. The city of refuge was for the person who accidently killed someone. They could flee to this city and be safe from the friends and family of the one murdered [...]
