May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14
I'm feeling incredibly overwhelmed by God's faithfulness and goodness today; His faithfulness in meeting me here; for blessing my life abundantly and for giving me eyes to see.
For taking my burdens, my sorrows and my shame and for redeeming my life with His unfailing love!
For taking my burdens, my sorrows and my shame and for redeeming my life with His unfailing love!
Feeling exhausted, I was so tempted to spend my quiet time today watching TV, but I'm so glad that I didn't give in!
When we listen to his still small voice and choose Him in the midst of our day, He's waiting there with so much for us, it overwhelms my soul.
And I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of urgency!
The other day I mentioned my panic at the thought of not being able to ask for things during prayer because of prayer requests which I anticipated in the month ahead.
Yesterday and today I've been thinking and it's growing more and more clear that I have been asked to do fast because there are urgent prayer requests! I had the phrase from Esther "For such a time as this" in my mind and then Alicia in our group posted some thoughts about Esther in her blog post today! (You can read what she says about purification here.) Yep, no coincidence there!
Now is the time to be declaring the authority, the promises and Truth of God's Word in my life, my family and this world we live in!
Now is the time to be spending time in thankfulness and praise!
Now is the time to be seeking the presence of God, to seek His words, His vision and His love!
For in His presence, the things that don't want to be there, such as anxiety, fear, panic and dread, leave!
And I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of urgency!

Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.” Isaiah 43:5-7
In my time with Him today He gave me a job to do. To be lifting up my husband with words and thoughts of encouragement. To, instead of focusing on disappointments, to be appointing my man to the calling God has for him.
The following is a clip of Lisa Bevere on Life Today, talking about being a wise woman. A quote that stands out to me is this..."We all grow in the reflection of the love we're shown."
I want to see the ones I love grow and be a part of that!

Awesome! Awesome video! You know that verse from Esther is one near and dear to my heart, and I'm so grateful that others pray my prayers and see answers to them, too. My favorite part of the video was when she talked about the protective environment she was building for her boys...you marry what you know later in life.
Thank you so much for posting this Jewel I love how God brings things we have taken the time to learn back and with new perspective!
