I'm Talking About God

 


2 Samuel 22:33-35 King James Version (KJV)

33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Dear Friends,

I was so sad to see the lifeless dear lying at the end of the yard on my brother's street.  Lifeless.  The strong deer once agile and swift.  Graceful. She was laying there with eyes open but unable to see.  I wondered what had happened.  Did she get hit by a car? She then made it as far as she could and just laid down? Whatever the case, it was her time. She arrived at a grassy place, a peaceful place. In the midst of the city with cars honking and rows of houses God led her to a place that looked like home. "Sis. Deer" laid her burdens down.  No more dodging traffic.  No more sneaking nibbles of grass and flowers.  The struggle is over.

God, the Master of all creation has everything synchronized. He does not miss steps.  No appointments are forgotten.  Births happen as He intends.  Deaths do not catch Him by surprise. God. He is in control. This is not just something to say when it suits us. It is the truth.  God Is. He is in control.  This is awesome.  It is amazing.  It is comforting.   God.  Infinite. God. Everlasting. God. Eternal. Alpha. God. Omega. God.
I'm talking about GOD.

God bless!
in Christ,
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...
