In My Sleep

 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. - Jonah 2:9

Like Jonah I sometimes find myself going in a direction that is contrary to where the Lord has led me. 

This does not work out well. Ever. One songwriter penned: the safest place in the whole wide world is in the will of God. 

I bless God that He often stirs me up in my sleep. 

Sometimes the stirring is a song in the night that lasts all night. 

There are times when He sends shadows, turmoil that shakes me, bringing me back to my spiritual senses. 

Then there are times like last night when he covers my spirit with hope and visions of glory.

I dreamt of a baby girl whose cries turned to humming. I shouted to her parents: do you hear the melody she’s humming? Her parents and I leaned closer as the baby “cried hummed”, “Amazing Grace.”  I was overjoyed, it was a spectacular scene. 

The humming of the baby woke me. That which I heard in my sleep stirred my soul. 

“Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.  I once was lost but now I’m found. Twas blind but now I see.”

I got up from the bed and lifted my hands to the Lord. I asked God to forgive me of my sins. I thanked Him for instructing me, comforting me, guiding me, by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

In my sleep the Lord came near. Hallelujah. Bless His Holy Name. 

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

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...

Blessed Are They That Believe

Luke 1:39-47 King James Version (KJV) 39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43  And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45  And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Dear Friends, Seasons Greetings!  When...
