Been a while....

Good evening all! Hope this note finds you all well. I know I have been away for a while but I have had a lot on my mind lately so lucky for you I will hopefully be starting to share more often. I can only hope that my thoughts and words will inspire at least one person and give them a sense hope, meaning, truth and grace.

I have been doing a devotional called Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young. So many of these short, simple devotions have been mind blowing to me and have made me think in a completely different and new way about how amazing Jesus is and how ever-present He is How He wants and desires to wear the crown in our heart, be the Lord of our everything, not just when it's convenient but in every waking moment of our He is our help, our comforter and our redeemer. I pray that if you don't He redeeming grace that you soon do and if you don't know how feel free to ask.

From the devotion Jesus Calling....

January 15th

My face is shining upon you, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face-to-Face with Me, you Peace. As long as you focus on Me, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out "Help me Jesus!: and I will life you up.

The closer you live to Me, the safer you are. Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance. Fix yours eyes on Me the One who never changes. By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of My design. I am always beside you, helping you face today's waves. The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you.  Laugh at the future! Stay close to Me.

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 14:30
30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Hebrews 12:2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
 
How amazing is that picture? His face is BEAMING out PEACE, just picture that with me. We are surrounded with many problems, storms and trials daily and His face beams peace upon us. He is with us through EVERY storm that comes our way and all we have to do is call out "Help me Jesus!" and he will rescue us because of his never ending grace. We need to fix our eyes on the One that has created us to love and worship Him and all those waves of insecurity, darkness and fear will fade away because we know that HE will rescue me and you.
 
It's my prayer that someone out there has been touched by these words and that you that God the creator of the universe is watching over you right now and is ready and willing to take your hand and rescue you.

Love to you all and see you soon! 
Give grace, Live grace and Love gracefully
