From Start to Finish



May 4, 2013



"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"  Philippians 1:6

 
 Dear Friend,
 
Many employers want to know when seeking individuals to fill vacant positions if potential candidates can multi-task.  Can you handle several projects at one time?  Most of us do that any way on a daily basis.  The larger issue is do we perform the tasks well. 
 
The Lord is the Ultimate Multi-tasker and I know for a certainty that He does all things well. He is able to restore sight both natural and spiritual.  He is able to restore hearing both spiritual and physically.  He is able to give voice to those previously without the ability to speak.
 
St. Mark chapter 7 tells the account of a man that Jesus  healed  restoring his sight, hearing and  ability to talk.  After doing so it was said of him "he doeth all things well."
He did not grant hearing in one ear and leave the man deaf in the other ear.  He did not leave the man partially blind.  He did not designate certain days of the week that the man could speak and command him to silence on the other days.  In Jesus the healing, the restoration was complete.  He finished what he started.
 
Jesus does not leave business unfinished.  He said he would never leave us or forsake us and he hasn't.  He said he will come again for us and He is on His way.  He said he went to prepare a place for us and the mansions are awaiting our arrival.  He said that all power in heaven in earth is in His hands and it has not be removed He's got it! 
 
BE CONFIDENT OF THIS VERY THING, THAT HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST!
 
In confidence,
God bless!
Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
