Still I Am



Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
      - Proverbs 31:28


On December 29, 2012 God led me to start a Christian devotional blog.  It began under the name Unique Inspiration. Many years ago, I authored a Christian newsletter under the same name.  Along the way the Lord touched my spirit while at the keyboard. It was a faint whisper.  "I'm changing the name."  To what? I thought.  Tysthatbind was placed in my soul.  I saw it. I felt it. And now...

Today is the 999th post.  I reflect on the first post and I am led to share it again here.  The post title: My Mother's Daughter, led to today's title -- Still I Am

Still I Am - by sdktyus@2020

Still I am my mother's daughter
Every day she walks with me
Her beautiful face, her awesome strength
Her sacrifices and what she meant

She meant what she said
She did not talk a lot
My mother spoke with integrity and class
Every word placed with careful thought

My mother, my mother, my mother
I miss her every day
I call her in my mind
I have so much I want to say

Still I am
My Mother's daughter

"This is the day that the Lord hath made I will rejoice and be glad in it."  - Psalms 118:24

Finally, uniquely inspired by God I have  found my way once again, to publish 
Unique Inspiration.
 
It's bittersweet really.  It has taken a lifetime to get to this place.  I believe
that life does happen in order and with faith in the Lord we can trust Him to
direct our steps.  Well today, I stepped up the BLOG steps.  Me, I am my 
Mother's Daughter.  

How I wish I could call her and say, "Ma I did it, and
give her instructions how to access the blog."  However, on September 16, 2012
Ma passed away, the result of a massive stroke.  Therefore, I whisper a prayer
trusting that through faith her view is heavenly.

The message here.  Do what you have been inspired to do and trust that the Lord who
planted the vision will see you through each step of the way.  Each dream, each goal that
I reflect upon throughout my life, those realized and those that were re-directed I can see
the hand of God.  

More often than not the hands appeared in the likeness of my Mother's 
hands.  Through her love God pushed me or nudged me when necessary. By her hands.
Using her hands, illustrated by her love, God encouraged me through her hugs or her applause when I succeeded.  

Today as I type and look down at my hands they look so much like Ma's.
I am "My Mother's Daughter."

God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

THANKFULLY

  Philippians 1:3   “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,” Wherever you are today, I thank God for you. Family, friends and all. I thank God. I praise God for allowing our lives to intersect in some way. May this day and every day be filled with gratitude. I pray that grace and peace abound.  Let mercy and grace be multiplied. Thankfully, the Lord God has brought us, from a mighty long way. God bless✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
