My Offering

As you walk with the Lord, He leads you to places where you can learn how to cope with the difficulties of life. It is my prayer that as you read these post you feel His leading and will continue to WALK ON IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.

The book of Luke records the story of a woman who brought her offering to the Lord. Jesus said it was not the amount of money that mattered most, but the HEART with which she gave it.
She emptied herself of all that she had for HIM.

As I begin the process of offering my thoughts,
I pray He will find them as honoring.
He alone deserves glory. It is Jesus I live for!

Because of some experiences and challenges I have faced, God has taught me much in just 45 years. I was asked a few days ago to write this blog to share my "mites." To some, they will seem but the empty rantings of a woman, spilling her two cents worth into the plate, but to others, they will be viewed as affirmation and direction as they continue to walk The Walk and offer the living sacrifice God desires of us daily.

As we continue on our journey we often become discouraged. I will use this blog to encourage you to continue along with me. We will walk arm and arm, as it were and hopfully grow together along the way.

     Isaiah 40:28-31

     Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles' they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

I have traveled 28 years with my Lord. I have studied God's Word extensively finding His plans, reviewing His pattens and sometimes even discovering His purposes for our emotional responses. He has given me the desire to share those lessons, in the hope, that others may grow and serve Him. Isaiah 40: 8 says we are grass that withers and fads, but God's Word shall stand forever. Learning to walk it before our children will continue that process. It is my hearts desire that we all find a child and model Christ to them daily. They will learn who He is and learn to follow Him only by our lead.

As we continue to face the challenges that lay ahead, this blog will be a daily reminder of what God has done. It will allow me to review my history with Him so I can continue on in the Power of His Might.
