Its a beautiful morning, its a beautiful day......

     Good morning and happy Tuesday! It is another beautiful day here in Utah, we are at 67 degrees this morning the skies are a bit more blue and the sun has broken through the clouds and is shining in his full glory!
      This morning in prayer, as I sat with the wind brushing my face, my head tilted toward the heavens and my mind totally given over to our Father in Heaven, I was so totally at peace, just so totally calm, most days when I pray I have to work very hard at keeping satan at bay, I have to forcefully shut him out and tell him to stay away, stay away, and to leave me alone! This morning he was nowhere not in outside interference, yippee, no where! This morning there was only quiet and calm when I chatted with God. I loved it and felt as if he were sitting in the chair right beside me, we were in such deep conversation. it was amazing! When I closed the prayer I felt so clean, so relaxed, so refreshed, so love filled! I love how I feel this very moment, I then had a nice conversation with my daughter, boy I miss her so much, can't wait until October to see her! I asked God this morning, what can I do today to make a difference? Who is in need today? What can I do to make you be pleased with me...nothing! I continued to pray, asking God for rain for the drought areas so many are struggling with, I asked for mercy for those who are struggling with satan, I prayed for my family and friends to have peace within, I prayed for world peace and I prayed for forgiveness for all that I do wrong! I know that he will answer these prayers but in his own time, not in mine! I do not know where he needs me to be today, but I am here if any have need for extra prayers, for special specific prayers. I am here if you need a shoulder, I am here for you! God is amazing, he is the light in my life and the reason I do what I do. Love to each of you:)  Have a beautiful day and join me in asking him what you can do for him today! 

"The Anchor Holds"

I love this song, I love the meaning of this song and I pray that it will touch a heart in need as it has touched mine this morning. 

I have journeyed
Through the long, dark night
Out on the open sea
By faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me


The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I’ve had visions
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand
But I never knew
They would slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand

I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
That these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that’s where God proved
His love to me


The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm.


Today as I sat in prayer, this song kept running through my mind, the words seem to burn into my brain and I knew that my father in heaven needed me to put the words out here for all to see, I know that the anchor does hold, in the times in my l life that I have been washed out to sea, when I have been tossed and turned by the massive waves of evil, as I have been dipped under the water, each time taking longer to come up for air....the anchor has held. I have been in the rages of life, I have lived what I was sure would be my last day, I have thrown my angry hands up toward the heavens and accused him of not being there with me, not protecting me, not making it "easy" but as I look on those moments now...you know they say hind sight is 20/20...I thank him, I stand and honor his decisions...if I had not been where I have been I would not be who I am...I love me, I still have so much work to do to be "right" in his eyes, the big picture however: Each day that I am given another chance, I am going to take it. If you are feeling as if you have been tossed out of the boat in a raging storm, take a deep breath, begin a conversation with our father in heaven and allow him to be your anchor. No matter what you are going through...you will overcome it with faith and with love. Today don't tell God how big your problem is, tell your problem how big your God is:) May this day be filled with awakenings in you, may you see the reason to the rhyme in your life and may you never, ever, blame it on God, may you never, ever, turn your back, may you each and every day know he is there for you, he loves you , and he will carry you when you are to weak to carry yourself. Love in the name of the Savior, Jesus Christ...Amen.
