Peanut Butter Pie

Yumm! I love peanut butter pie from Night Sky, which is in Troy. Let me tell you, I've had most of their desserts and I do believe the peanut butter pie is my recommendation. First it's so tasty and second it is so big! Yumm. Can you tell I like sweets? So, I got myself a piece to go, asked for a plastic fork and started to eat it in the car. Now, I know that I shouldn't be trying to accomplish this in the car- especially since I drive a stick shift, but over the years I've become somewhat coordinated. However, when driving, all of a sudden my peanut butter pie fell onto my emergency break- don't be alarmed; I was able to retrieve it. The cool whip topping left its mark on my emergency break. After getting home, I went in and placed the little remaining pie in my fridge. The next day, I tried cleaning the topping with a kleenex- but it didn't come off, because it had hardened. And there is no excuse, I still need to clean it. But then God revealed to me- this is like sin- stick with me here. I've had good intentions of cleaning the cool whip, but it hasn't happened. Sin can be the same way- it's there and we may have good intentions of confessing it- or trying to "change" ourselves, but really the only way we are going to get rid of it- is to confess it to God and then even to others. The freedom that Jesus brings- that He is the one always with open arms for forgiveness. I love the parable story of the Prodigal Son and how the father was looking for him in a distance and came running to him when we spotted him from afar and embraced him. The joy that filled that father's heart. This is the heart of our Heavenly Father- He wants us to come back to Him. Jesus has allowed us to continually come to our Father- He has made us clean. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9. Thank You LORD for your faithfulness and Your faithful love and abundant redemption. That pumps my heart!!! So, if you need to confess sin to Him today- come, tell Him your sin and ask for His forgiveness- He's waiting with open arms to embrace You and to clean You up through His Son- it's refreshing and good for our soul.

Babies

So I feel like the LORD was wanting me to write my revelations, well, really His revelations about similarities of babies to when one becomes a Christian. I get the wonderful opportunity to work with and observe many babies as my vocation. Then today in church we talked about babies- how babies don't know how to talk or act. That may be true with someone young in their faith- they may communicate things that are not healthy. At work my coworkers have been sharing their experiences during their pregnancy. Quite interesting, that they said their milk did not come in until the birth of their baby and then bam- the milk arrived in a huge quanity. I was thinking of the spiritual parallels- that it is IMPERATIVE when people become new believers that they get fed- and get fed a lot! When I speak of "fed" I mean to receive the Word/the Bible. That's how we will grow- through His Word! I love to feed on His Word- it's so nourishing, which leads me to my next point. Breast milk is FILLED with noutrients! It's from the Mama herself. We talked at Bible Study that people who have cancer can purchase breast milk as a healing remedy. Very interesting. I never knew this! So hopefully I will remember more and continue to write revelations on this topic.

Speechless

Speechless- words do not do justice, indescrible....Elohim- God Almighty. What an amazing day- really though- what an Amazing God!! He IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nahum 1:7 "The LORD IS GOOD. He is a stronghold on the day of trouble. He knoweth those that trust in Him." In the Hebrew language good means: good, gracious, merry, joyous- that is my God!! He is a stronghold- which means a fortified city. Sit and picture that with me. I envision these solid rock castles located in Europe- nothing but protection from the attacks on the outside. My God Is a PROTECTOR, not only on my good days, but on my day of trouble!!! Then my favorite- He knoweth- knoweth in the Hebrew means observation, care, recongition. My God observes me. My God cares for me! My God recongizes me! Why- because I trust in Him. Trust in the Hebrew means- flee to for protection and then my favorite: confide. Yes- My God is my Confident. Let me tell you- there is no better friend, no better confident- how my soul is refreshed when I confide in Him. I urge you- come to Him today!!! Ask Christ to come in and dine with Him. He is a forever friend. He Loves you- Choose to Believe Him today. He proves Himself over and over......tis' so sweet to trust in Jesus
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
and to take him at his word;
just to rest upon his promise,
and to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust him more!

2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
just to trust his cleansing blood;
and in simple faith to plunge me
neath the healing, cleansing flood!
(Refrain)

3. Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
just from sin and self to cease;
just from Jesus simply taking
life and rest, and joy and peace.
(Refrain)

4. I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,
precious Jesus, Savior, friend;
and I know that thou art with me,
wilt be with me to the end.
(Refrain)
Thank You LORD for Your confirmation

Refinement....

Being in relationship with God truly is the best thing ever. I don't know how to even put it into words. I've been walking with Jesus for over 10 years- which boggles my mind. What amazes me is that He is always refining me- showing me new things about His character and shedding light in darkened areas of my life. He's been showing me lately- Lynn- I DO see you! I DO hear you!- every little detail!! There are no coincidences in God's economy. He is the grand weaver- which boggles my mind. My heart is saddend as I have had corrupted views of my God. He's been showing me faulty thinking that I've had of Him in the area of belief; that in certain areas I have chose not to believe out of self-preservation/ out of getting "hurt". However, I believe I've hurt the heart of my Lord by my lack of belief. My God is good- Hallelujiah! That is true today! I continue to need grace, which means the divine influence of the heart relfected in the life, I need His grace to continue to believe. Lord, I believe- help my unbelief! Oh Father, I come before Your throne and ask for more faith- I ask for more of You. I praise You- with the highest praise- I extol You- You know I always want Your praise to continually be on my lips. I want to always worship You. I want to know more of Your unfailing love. I want to swim in Your love- I do want to love You with all of my heart. Thank You that is why you have made that the greatest commandement- for our relationship. Father I ask boldy for people who may have a corrupted view of You, that those lies would be bashed- that Your name may be held high in honor and exalted. Use Your body to bring light to a darkened world. You are worthy to serve. In Christ's name, Amen
His Love is Dazzling!
