A Time to Dance

Isn't is exciting when you can feel the words of God go into your spirit. Isn't is exciting when something in you awakens to a change that you know could only come from Lord's special love for you. Last night, at 4 in the morning, I was wide awake. I felt promted to read Isaiah 40.The words from verse 3-5: "A voice of one calling: In the desert prepare the way for the Lord, make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low;the rough ground shall become level, the rugged place a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it." I believe the Lord is proclaiming what many of us know that a change is coming where all will see His Glory. While that strikes fear in some, we must be ready to shout His goodness and mercy. The good news of our salvation and deliverance has been accomplished and we have victory. I also read Psalm 30;11-12 " You turned my wailing into dancing, you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever." You will be blessed as you speak, sing, shout and dance about the Goodness and Faithfulness of God. He is doing VERY GOOD THINGS for us now and forever. As you proclaim His words to you, your eyes and heart will be opened to how He is turning you from crying to dancing. Worship and Dance today. Love you, Jennifer

Get Ready

This is just a note to tell everyone that the Blessing book is on its way. Maybe - 6 weeks. I am so excited. Billy wrote our family blessings every week for 3 years. this book is titled " Monday Morning Blessings - Your Dad wants to Bless You " Please pray with me that everyone who was never given a Father's Blessing will read this book as receive what our Heavenly Father wanted for us. He gave us earthly fathers to represent Him while we were on this earth. Billy Crain did an amazing job of blessing his family so that we would know how special we were to God our Heavenly Daddy. I will let you know when it comes. Bless you all. Love ya, Jennifer

Pride vs. Humility

Pride is so easy to spot in someone else; even when they are acting humble. Why can't I see it in myself? Over and over Jesus reminds us to love others, prefer others, speak and act with love and peace in our hearts. If Jesus is my Lord and Savior, I will want to do everything that he tells me to do, trusting that His guidance is perfect for every situation. So here is the "rub": I am my sweet wonderful self and suddenly a very rude person enters my space. This person delivers false accusations and threats. "Wow,I say to myself, I don't deserve this treatment." Doesn't matter that I know exactly how to respond or walk away. What matters is that,in my heart, I am saying ,"this person is a jerk ........" Matt. 7:1-2 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measure to you. You might be saying that this is unfair. I was just treated unfairly. Yes, you were and so was Jesus. He died so that you and I could become like Him and have a life above our circumstances forever. Humility is the character of Jesus that allows Him to live in that place of love and not justice. It is the way of the cross. It is also the way of the resurrection. Think about it. I love you, Jennifer
