Praise for the Journey

     Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

                                - Psalm 71:8


Driving home yesterday in my car I found myself in the Master’s classroom. Observing people, some with angry faces and others “madly” speeding behind or around other cars. Angry horns honking. Some drivers being “shamed “for going the speed limit.

 I saw people walking, jogging, and biking.  I noticed babies in strollers.  I heard dogs barking and bird’s singing. Although I had seen and heard similar sights and sounds before, yesterday was different. 

Do something! I heard the Holy Spirit urge me. Do what? I thought in a rather startled fashion. 

The answer was immediate. Pray. Start praying. And so I did…I prayed for the people, the babies and the other drivers…

My prayers were not long. Mind you, I am behind the wheel. But God, The Holy Spirit was steering. 

I found myself praying for the people who lived in the houses I passed. Soon I was praising God for the beautiful trees and green grass. I praised the Lord for beautiful flowers and mighty trees.

Praising and praying. Gospel music playing in the background.  Cruise control at another level. Cruising controlled by God.  

Prayer meeting in the car. What a time it was. Although I have prayed in the car before,  the journey yesterday was different. I, a licensed driver, was being given  a refresher course. 

Joy for the journey is not a cliche. It our life when we allow the Lord to steer us.

He saw me in my little Volkswagen and reminded me that praising time and praying ground is wherever we find ourselves.  I praise God for my journey now.


God bless.

In Christ,

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
