Relentless Pursuit

"Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens; you are there; if I make my bed in the depths your are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." Psalm 139:7-10

My daughter called this evening to tell me about an experience she had at the Dollar Tree this afternoon. She was engaged in her love of shopping when up over the isles of merchandise she heard a man merrily singing a song of praise, "Thank you Lord for these great bargains in this store... praise the Lord, amen...amen..." within moments the man was slipping past her with a, " God bless you," directed at her. She replied, "same to you."

When it was time to check out, another man prompted a conversation with her asking, " are you pro -life or pro -choice?" Her reply," pro-life." At that he took out his wallet and said, " I have a story to share with you." He had a picture of a baby in his wallet. I am not going to go into the details of the story except to say, had this man not been perfectly in sync with God's perfect timing and circumstance, he would not have been able to share such an incredible story. If he should happen onto this blog maybe he can share the story in own words should he feel compelled. My point in sharing my daughters experience is that when God is in pursuit of you, He will make His presence known to you no matter where you are and through whatever means He can to make you notice Him....I have been praying to Him for a relentless pursuit of my two grown children and I am confident he has heard me...

Dare to Dream

The bible tells us that without vision, the people perish. Some versions  read this way, Where there is no revelation the people cast off restraint. Do you have a vision? Are you living your dream? Praise God! I am living mine. Your are part of it if you are reading this now. My passion, my dream is simply to write for the Lord. What is your passion? What is your Dream? Think about it....and God bless your thoughts...

A day of Delights

Marie Chapian had posed a question on her blog, asking "what is beauty to you?"

My answer  to Marie's question,

"Beauty is a child of God following God to wherever He leads, regardless of the conditions."

In the sidebar of this blog page you will notice a picture of a sweet boy holding an umbrella, click it to read the story that led me to my answer. I posted a version  of this from a different point of view on Marie's blog page. I feel in my heart God saying "Now is the time to share it as it was written in my journal."  Be sure to ponder the questions at the end of the story...

It was a day of delights and profound beauty...Many days are when we take the time to notice...
