A prayer for you and yours:)

   

 Hello and welcome to Thursday, it is another nice day here in Utah, 64 degrees, blues skies a slight breeze and full on sunshine with the chance of rain in the afternoon! Our high for today is forecast to be 72 with a low of 48 tonight! Yes it looks like fall has found its way to Utah. I continue to pray for the same for my home state Texas, I pray for RAIN, soul healing RAIN, land nourishing RAIN, get outside and act like a kid RAIN, dance out in the RAIN, kinda rain. The southern and eastern states have been hit so hard this year, some with to much moisture, some with none at all. I pray that mother nature will wake up soon and see what her comatose state has allowed, surely she has to be in a coma for she would not allow such devastation if she were awake and aware! I pray that you continue to hold to your faith and believe that the rains in the south will come, the cooler temperatures will come and your lands will be restored.
     I pray today for each of you, that this might be the day you receive answers to prayers you have been praying and that you look for positive in all things...let negative be gone from your life and see what a wonderful change it will make! I love each of you and pray for happiness and joy to be in your lives daily! May God bless and keep you in his loving arms, may he guide you through the storms of life and may his sacrifice be always at the front of your thoughts and may it lead your actions! In Jesus name, amen!

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Are you living in "HIM" or just in his world?

     Good morning and Happy Sunday, my favorite day of all the days! 66 degrees here in sunny Utah, every bird within a mile radius is singing this morning, the sky is clear blue heaven and finally I am feeling a bit more rested after my trip! 
     In prayer this morning, my heart was heavily touched by the phrase "are you living in me?" I had to stop several times and try to understand what he was saying to me, what he was impressing upon my heart, what he needed from me today! "Are you living in me?" I thought about that for a long time, my head back on my chair, my eyes closed, my ears hearing the heavenly sounds and I thought, "am I living in him?" I like to think I am, I try to live in him each and every day but most days I fall short. Am I happy with my life, yes and no, there are so many things I would change right this very minute if I had the power, do I try to make the changes, yes and no...somedays I feel defeated because I do not have uber power to make changes that I know would be better for my health both mentally and physically! Do I live as Christ would have me live??? Yes and no, my faith waxes and wanes much like the tide of the ocean, it will be at all time highs and then will sometimes be at all time lows! I get angry, I pass judgement, I swear, I get depressed....I am human. I do hold fast to the rod, I may allow my faith to lessen but never do I walk without faith. I love God our father and Jesus Christ with all of me, I know they are the beginning and the end, I do not fear death for I know that I will have to atone for my shorcomings but I also know there will be a place for me to walk along side Christ on the golden path and that I will earn wings! I make mistakes many times throughout the day, but never do I not acknowledge and atone, I ask for forgiveness with true intent in my heart, I look for lessons in all things and make many mental notes as to why I do the things I do, then I ask God to give me strength not to do them again. The 10 commandments are tough, they are my guide and at least once per day I catch myself breaking one of the orders! I thank God for the power of atonement, for allowing us to be able to ask him for forgiveness, for knowing that if we ask with truth that he will forgive us! So "am I living in him?' I would have to say yes, I look to him as a child does her father, for guidance, for kissing away boo-boos, for scaring boogy men away, for understanding when no one else will, for unconditional love, for sharing secrets, for advice....etc......I look to him many times a day and know that he will always be available to guide me, I am like the stubborn child and sometimes get caught up in thinking I know best...but I don't!!!! I pray that you are "LIVING IN HIM" today, I pray that if you are not that you will lift your head to the heavens and through Jesus Christ ask him to come into your heart, to be your father and that you will ask him to walk side by side with you in all that you do! It is never to late to bring him into your life, no sin is to great to ask for forgiveness and know that if you speak in truth that he will forgive. Even in the last breaths of life people come to him and accept him into their hearts, they see his light and they accept his hand. Take his hand today and make it the first day of the rest of your life, allow him to love you, allow him to shelter you, allow him to heal you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Begin to know his love and begin to share his love, the world will be a much more beautiful place if beauty resides within your heart! God bless you with his spirit today, may he offer his hand and you reach out and take it! Love in Christ to each of you! 

John 15:5

New International Version (NIV)

   ⁵ “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Please pray with me today for those so desperately in need of a miracle, I know that together we can help to make a difference and I know that mass prayer produces miracles that only God can make happen!
