Start to Finish



December 31, 2012

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending saith the Lord, which is and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." - Revelation 1:8

  Somehow in spite of good planning, paper calendars and electronic ones, email reminders and
"things to do today" lists, 365 days in 2012 still found me lacking in some areas. 
I started many things but for whatever reason, I did not or could not always finish what I started.

God, however got it all done in 2012.  He did not miss anything. Everything on schedule. No missed blessings.

It all started with God.  "In the beginning God..." (Genesis 1:1 cf)  The light, the air, the water,
the food, the breath of life, the shelter, the labor we call work, birth and death.  It all began with Him.
One might say, I know that!  Yes, we know that "it started"  with Him. But, the deeper understanding is acknowledging that He is the Start.  "I am Alpha."  I God Light,  I am Air, I am Shelter, I am Bread.  He told Moses to tell the children of Israel: "Tell them that  I AM sent me unto you."   Wrapped up in that statement peering from behind the curtain was Omega. I am Omega. God always reminding I finish what I start.  There are no loose ends. You can depend on Me from beginning to end, start to finish. "From everlasting to everlasting thou art God."
(Psalm 90:2 cf)

God has brought us all the way from January 1 to this moment on December 31, 2012.
Starter and Finisher.  Throughout the year during accomplishments and challenges there have
been no lapses in coverage,  God "which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty" has
been ever present to see us through. It is because He is never changing we can set our sights towards
the New Year with faith.

                                         "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that,
                                          if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us."
                                                    - I John 5:14

Happy New Year!

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
