"All of my life, In every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship." -Hillsong.
I'm in this place in my life where I know I have to let go of somethings and I tell you it's tough. How quickly I've forgotten how hard it is to remove the tentacles of my soul from those things to which it has latched onto. Letting go of those baggages that prevent me from embracing God and all that He has in store for me. But even when I think it is going to be a bitter pill to swallow He reminds me that He has given me joy unspeakable on the inside, and all I have to do is just reach down and pull it out.Ugh! Oh how I pray that this moment will pass by quickly!!!
On an amusing note... Have you ever met someone that liked you but you didn't even fancy them? And it seems that the slightest laugh irrates you? Well I'm there... Why does this happen? A friend of mine once said, "That's just how life is. You like someone they don't like you and someone likes you but you don't like them." Well I have resolved to laugh and get the most out of this situation. After all people come into our lives for a reason, and for a season... Aaaah... Which brings me back to my quote at the beginning of this post. In this season of letting go and "newness" I have a reason to sing and worship HIM!

Searching....
Hey...
I know it's been a while since I came here, and I'm sorry about that. However there is a reason for my absence... I have been searching for that thing that I would make my talking point for this blog... So far I haven't found the "thing" but one thing I have discovered is this desire to pour my heart out on this blog... (at least to some extent, some things still need to be kept private..) I hope to share my life in such a way that someone reading out there may be encouraged or inspired...
As I write this blog I am listening to an amazing song, whose composer I do not know but it just soothes me everytime I listen to "Jesus Wonderful is Your Name" on http://www.myspace.com/outcrywithus
Over the past couple of weeks I have just been soaking in the concept of Grace. The Grace of God. His Grace towards me and me extending that grace to others. I am finding that I need to rest in my relationship with Father God. I am not perfect... and it seems that sometimes just when I think I've got it down spiritually I am put in rememberance of Grace... It is by His Grace that I am here doing all that He wants me to do... And His Grace flows through His ever so powerful Love! Oh my goodness! At church yesterday... I felt His love shake me to the cores of my spirit... just when I was asking, Lord will you still use me? Am I still favored in your sight? And surely He responds... Oh what amazing Love!
Hmmm Grace towards others.... It simply is seeing them the way God sees them. I do not say this to say that I have this concept down... but I'm learning. Each day I pray Eph. 1:18 over myself... Neville Johnson said, (and I'm paraphrasing) "Discernment of spirits can only be done through Love." In other words we cannot say we have the gift of dicernment of spirits without operating in the perfect Love of God. His Love covers a multitude of sin... If the Lord reveals a sin in someone's life to me, it is not to then hit them over the head with the law but to pray for them and love them out of that situation....
Whew... Now that I've said that... Let the practicing begin!
