Let the Peace of God Reign

As song by Hillsong *click link then to the right of the page the arrow*

Father of life draw me closer
Lord, my heart is set on you
Let me run the race of time
With you life unfolding mine
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit Lord my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon your truth
Bringing glory unto you
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

(Chorus)
Oh Lord I hunger for more of you
Rise up within me let me know your truth
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God
Fill me now
Let your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit Lord my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon your truth
Bringing glory unto you
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

(Repeat chorus twice)

And let the life of God
Fill me now
Let your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And the peace of God
Let it reign




Isa 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.
9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Enough said, AMEN!

LUKEWARM ?! !?

http://sheesh-o-phlipbob.blogspot.com/ the link is to my friends blog about being mediocre. i suggest not just reading her blog; but absorbing the thought of doing your best and not using the easy button.
Col 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
1Cr 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

I on the other had have had a similar spirit (thought) haunting me and that would be a heart that is lukewarm.
Rev 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
16 So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
I wish i wasn't talking about myself. in fact it was my own being that brought this verse to mind. I am sure it was the Holy Spirit trying to get my attention and my heart and soul back to a vibrant reflection of HIM. During the Christmas season i don't get as excited as most. never have and was thinking this year the next year would be different. that as i heard Chuck Smith say, "...there is nothing wrong with celebrating Christ with my family..." many more words of course, but i am to just focus on that because i don't really "Celebrate" at Christmas time. I am maybe pushed away by the commercialism of it all. i don't like to shop, i dislike crowds even more, and i am a thrift type person who can't make a good decision at a department store and don't even think of taking me to a mall! so i have chosen to not be involved in "Christmas" much. But next year I hope to Remember Mr Smith's words and "Celebrate Christ" with all my Heart, Mind and Soul! "Hark the Harold Angels Sing Glory to the newborn King" God has perfect timing as this is the song playing~ no the song that started just as i ended that paragraph. i wasn't even listening to the "Background" music as i usually do. it fact it is so low (lukewarm) that i can bearly hear it. i will turn it up!
So now the words playing are, "Now i want to say, Holy is Your Name. Let all creation proclaim, Holy is Your Name" this is not a worldly known "Christmas" carole; but don't the words sound like one? this or these are the words to my daily "Christmas" music aka Christian Music. It just dawned on me that "Christmas" is over right, so why keep on if i am not a "Christmas" fan? because i have been lukewarm and not "Celebrating Christmas" everyday as i normally do.
No kidding as i typed that sentence the song, "I will Celebrate" came on. This is what i am talking about. The Holy Spirit! He is Awesome and Powerful and all we have to do is....i don't know LISTEN? be attentive? "All I am, worshipping Him" Yes those were the words in the song as i just typed 2 question marks!! Love You Lord, "Sing to the Lord a New Song"
I am to stop now and focus on HIM and Not me!! Love Ya IBShell :)

the WONDERFUL CROSS

I am so excited! i just found out that my personal computer that i thought was dead to internet activity is alive. so i can now do more! like pictures and you tubes( maybe not you tubes, they won't let me share on Blog only on Facebook?- will figure out later- so click the link) and hopefully soon daily worship/music choices.
I had to chose the wonderful cross for my first pic. if you know me you already understand the choice. if you don't then it's time you get to know me. I am Dared to Move by the Spirit and often Dare You to Move too.
i have rcently been introduced to another Blogger by Klang and will soon add as a follower and allow to see her worship style too.
for now that's it ..... maybe....
Phl 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Send "I Will Dance" Ringtone to Cell Phone



In the morning when I rise
I will lift up my eyes and
Behold I will dance

Jesus lifted all my burdens
And He washed all my sins away
And then He took this earthen body
And He made it His dwelling place

Jesus lifted all my burdens
And He washed all my sins away
And then He took this earthen body
And He made it His dwelling place
He said He'd never leave me
Nor forsake me
He'd be with me through thick and thin
So I have opened up my heart
And let the beauty of His love come in

Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Together let's praise the Lord
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Together let's praise the Lord
Let's sing let's dance let's celebrate
Everybody make a joyful noise
My God is great
My God is good
Give me just a minute to elaborate
I got a new heart
A new life
Everyday I'm gonna praise His name
Alleluia alleluia alleluia alleluia
In the morning when I rise
I will lift up my eyes
And behold I will dance

In the morning when I rise
Let's dance

I wish there was a you tube for this one! it is a fun ne musically, and the words are perfect just like my God, My King & Creator

still alive and kicking= maybe that's the problem...

...Kickin'

many, no too many thoughts are going through this ole head the past couple of days.

Spiritual warfare? Maybe. still listening to lessons via radio as i drive and drive and did i say drive? still listen and worship in the morning as i start me day. (that was the irish coming out). Mr L. is still in my live and as much as i wish, hope and pray to see Gods work in him and a changed heart in a person, i don[t and a friend, no lots of people have said he will never change. but as jesus would not give up and died on the cross, i have to keep praying for him to drawer closer to christ and be more christ like to his family. But most of all I have to stay focused on HIM.

i am begining to wonder what that really means? Focus on Him? i heard a couple of comments on that yesterday and the day before. It makes me think that i really don't know how to focus only on HIM. i am self centered. Oh NO Not ME>
yes it does seem to be so.
my spirit is crying again. lately i have had a few times when a couple of tears form and sometimes fall, but i have a complete sense that these are The Spirits tears not mine. Sometimes tears of joy and sometimes pained tears. so is this a new avenue for me to experience? focusing on HIM and being one with His Spirit?

we will see.....

I am humanly tired again, and the job that i still Love is a weight on me as i feel behind in the piles of paperwork i need to file and the organization i lack. all the things i want to do and get accomplished seem out of reach.....

My middle child is doing so much better. it is still a work in progress, a few steps forward with a few more back sometimes. this can be tiring too. Not to fall back into the ways of the past in family issues. easy to blame others and then see that the others aren't here and there are still "things" happening.

My hands and feet are both really bad. and i don't feel so bad; most of the time. i did wake up on the down side today but i am a woman and that could have something to do with it.

i just want to go back to bed actually :) so i better get in the shower and wake up!


You Never Let Go Matt Redman/ click the link

Matt Redman - You Never Let Go
From the album Passion 06: Everything Glorious

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

Chorus:

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

Chorus: (2x’s)

Matt 5:40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor [fn] and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies [fn] and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.


I continue to stand and say, "I want what i get for I am in His Hands and His Will. If anything evil does come against me and He has allowed it i Know that i will be blessed double in the end! Lord i pray that you would be the center of my universe. I pray for your protection this day as i feel weak and weary and don't know what is in store today but you do. Lord a hedge of protection please!

Where've You Been?

Dare you to Move.....Where've you been?

I'll start spiritually because it is most important.
the Spirit is here and guiding; but what spirit do i wear? do You wear?
the spirit of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love or the spirit of stress, and financial burden? the spirit of worry and fret? Notice when i say the Spirit is here and guiding it is the Capital Spirit, meaning HIS spirit. the other "emotions" lower case spirit is what we are allowing to rule us. this was in a recent lesson i listened to. Meaning lessons on the pagan celebration of Winter. In my opinion we are in the midst of one of the biggest deceiving events of the year. the commercial "Christmas". A brother in Christ, a bank greeter, said it best, "'Thanksgiving' is my favorite Holiday, I am thankful everyday for my Savior and Lord and Nationally We can Celebrate that with family, friends, food, fellowship.. What more is there?" "'Christmas' I enjoy everyday of my life! Daily i celebrate the birth of Christ in Me so this buying and spending; seeing everyone stress over it, means nothing to me but deception" i might have paraphrased the end of that one. I shared that i have always felt that way but never put it into those words and really liked what he said. I was just reminded, by the Spirit, to add what started this conversation in the first place. I heard a teacher's commentary after a lesson on Christians participating in the Secular Holiday of Christmas. But knowing that they would, encourage them to not do it without including Christ in each gift. A Book, song, Verse something to edify and glorify the Kingdom. I liked it. so when i entered the bank (to buy quarters for laundry UGH) a very friendly spirit approached me so i 'dared to move' when i was asked how i was, my reply was "More importantly, How are You Spirtually?" he had the prefect answer, "I am blessed, He is my Lord and Savior!" as he placed his hand over his heart. I was then blessed too. I enjoyed my time of fellowship with him and we called each brother and sister as we departed. (i wonder who heard? i wonder if we honor God in this? Nomally i wouldn't add this but for the world i will tell a little more. His skin was different than mine as i am fair complected and he was very dark complicted. I wonder who was watching as we called each other brother and sister? i hope it touched someone, i hope someone over heard us sharing His Love & Joy, Real Christmas talk :)

I was just interrupted by a friend going through all of the negative spirits we were talking about above. and i was able to invite her over for some needed down time. to heal some stress and relief some negative energies for some positive uplifting sisterly love in Him. I hope she receives it :)

okay the Spirit is Here and Guiding me. Many difficult issues are surrounding me and i sense the change, growth and Spirit help me through all of these negatives/evils:

My youngest Child missed a week of school because of stress related health issues.
called me twice last week in tears and the only thing i can really do is pray and suggest she does the same. In all of this i try to communicate with Mr. L and it is getting easier and easier to focus on HIM and share HIM and His ways instead of me and my ways and i am finding it is received better that way too. So have i been dared to move? YES is it a spirit of weariness that follows sometimes. Did i stress during the intitial conversations? Yes the spirit of stress won for a moment until I chose Christ and Prayer to get me into HIM again.
Are gas prices going DoWN? Yes a spirit of hope in finances for all .... Yes
Praises go out to the Lord each time i get gas. I heard it is to be down to 99 cents by january PTL
Do i have Hope ? YES more than many. for my spirit of faith is strong in Him being my provider and see His Hand in my life and Finances.
Over worked? maybe not; but working longer hours to make up for lost time during Thanksgiving and the spirit depression that overwhelmed me the months past. Is the Spirit Healing and Directing...OH YES!! PTL
is the spirit of contintion in this place? yes, middle child and i have a lot of ground to cover in the healing and allowing the Spirit mend relationships and remove the spirit of distrust and discord;; to be restored by the spirit of hope and love.
this is a time process too though. for these preconceived thoughts took years to build! and a lot of merchy, love and prayer, along with deep prayer and devotion, it will take to repair and rebuild new thoughts and habits; even just in responding to one another. Does the spirit of agravation shine too brightly? yes at times, but again the Spirit is close by and reels us back in and there is hope for family unity and the ability to Honor Him in ALL we say and do.
the spirit of Finances depressing gods blessings? yes at times >>> PTL that He has covered me with protection and blessings even as the evil one tries to take income away He lowers my accounts payable, just enough to show me that we have what we need and He is watching over me and my girls and that i receive his promise in Romans 8;28 but lets start at Romans 8:24
24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, [fn] who [fn] have been called according to his purpose.
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

WOW that was powerful!!
so is this link. I watching some friends the other day and we counted how many crosses i have in my house. i think it was 17.

There You Go~~ song by Caedmon's Call ~~Lyrics:

Is this the strange feeling
Of you working all to good
'Cause I am so confused
I don't even ask for what I should

When I asked for and deserved a stone
You broke and gave your body as bread
And even the stone that dropped down and rolled away
Spoke of the one who bled

There you go working good from my bad
There you go making robes from my rags
There you go melting crowns from my calves
There you go working good of all I have
Till all I have's not that bad

When I asked for and deserved a serpent
You gave a net full of fish
And even the serpent that told the lie
When lifted high foretold the gift

For you so loved the unlovable
That you gave the ineffable
That who so believes the unbelievable
Will gain the unattainable


i could allow evil to look and find more to worry about or complain about, but i chose to see HIS Glory right now and nothing else :)

i am thankful

"thankful" above link song by caedmon's call lyrics

You know I ran across an old box of letters
While I was bagging up some clothes for Goodwill
But you Know I had to laugh at the same old struggles
That plagued me then are plaguing me still
I know the road is long from the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
But you see, I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase

'Cause no, there is none righteous
Not one who understands
There is none who seek God
No not one, I said no not one

So I am thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own

'Cause we're all stillborn and dead in our transgressions
We're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
So what part can I play in the work of redemption
I can't refuse, I cannot add a thing

'Cause I am just like Lazarus and I can hear your voice
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You
Because I have no choice

I am thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own
I'm so thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own

'Cause by grace I have been saved
Through faith that's not my own
It is a gift of God and not by works
Lest anyone should boast

that's where I've been, where've you been? Dare you to Move :)

because i'm forgiven

Because I'm Forgiven song by Phillips, Craig and Dean

There's a reason why I bring
You this simple offering
Pouring out my love to You
And though my heart cannot express
All this joy and gratefulness
Still I sing this song of love and thanks and praise.

Chorus:
It's because I'm forgiven
It's because I'm free
It's because You've shown my mercy and You believed in me
It's because You're my Savior
It's because You're my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher than I've ever been.

Oh the wonder of Your ways
Oh the measure of Your grace
Greater than my heart can know
So how could I not celebrate
How could I not bless Your name
Singing out a song of love and thanks and praise.

Repeat chorus.

The reason I started this blog is because i am forgiven. The reason I continue, is the same, I am forgiven. There are many out there that are not. I feel the time is coming so close that i must share some way

But my current lesson is to forgive so that i may be forgiven. I still hold some hurt against my children's father. I must forgive him so i read

Matt 6:12
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [fn]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

when I need Your Holy Spirit more than life itself

when I need Your Holy Spirit more than life itself Then Christ is formed in Me

Awake my Soul Randy Phillips composer, Phillips, Craig & Dean "Let the Worshipers Arise" CD

When I close my eyes
I can see Your Glory
When I raise my hands
I can touch Your face
When I bow my knees

And Christ is formed in me

Awake my soul prepare an entrance for Your Glory
And let my heart become a Throne for You to Dwell
And when I need Your Holy Spirit more than life itself
Then Christ is formed in Me

When I lose myself I reflect Your Image
When I break, break my will, then I am whole
When I give, give my all, I find life everlasting.
Then Christ is formed in me

Chorus (3x)

Awake my soul prepare an entrance for Your Glory
And let my heart become a Throne for You to Dwell
And when I need Your Holy Spirit more than Life Itself
Then Christ is formed in me

Matthew 6:9

Hallowed be Your Name,
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

He Came Through

He Came Through by Helen Baylor

to hear this song it takes a little more work click the link then the song is # 37

the words go something like this:

Who knows what the future brings?
Who knows where the road will lead?
well, the world can change forever so quickly
It's an age of uncertainty
Sometimes when you call on the Lord
Sometimes He can seem so far away
But i say wait, you must believe
Wait, He won't forsake His own
You're Not Alone

Chorus 1
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you
He's never been less than faithful
And He cannot be untrue
Even though life's storms are raging
He's the one that never changes
He'll come through
He came through for me
And He'll come through for you

My Lord is the first and the last
My Lord sees the end of all time
Even when life goes beyond my understanding
I'm at peace with His hand in mine
God knows what the future will bring
God has a plan for me and you
I say trust and then obey
Believe it will turn out okay
He's made a way

chorus 2
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you
He's never been less faithful
And He cannot be untrue
He came trough for me
I know He'll come through for You
There's a path that is prepared just for you
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you
He came through for me
I know He'll come through for you

Don't forget He's faithful, who promised
Every word to us is guaranteed
He only asks us to believe, just believe

chorus 1 again

its hard to believe that i don't have much to say i know. I Praise the Lord Daily, I worship in song daily, and still on Matthew 6 until released by Him

Matt 6:1 Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven..........
...5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [fn]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Each verse has a lesson to learn. Every time i think i have one down, like #11 and the car and gas thing on the way home (titled "Words of Faith=Actions of ??"), i have a new view and a new lesson before me, humbled and ready to receive "what i get" for i know His Promise and that His will is perfect so i accept what comes to me for Romans 8:28 tells me.....
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
AMEN & AMEN Praise the Lord

Blessings to all who read, may His Spirit Touch you with Peach and Love

There's A Reason

There's a reason by Mercy Me

Now's the time
Let the redeemed celebrate
If you know what I know
You can't wipe the smile off your face
Oh people, stand up and praise

Chorus:
There's a reason to dance
There's a reason to sing
Of the sacred romance
With our Savior and King
We lift up our hands
We fall on our knees
To the Son of Man
The reason we are free

There's a reason

All glory to
The King of Kings, Lord if Lords
Oh the value of Your worth
No worldly treasures can afford

And we praise You forevermore

(Chorus)

There's a reason to stand
There's a reason to shout, to shout Your name on high
So we take up our cross, there's a reason to die
Because Jesus is alive

There's a reason

(Chorus)

There's a reason
You are the reason
The reason we are free


Matthew 6:6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. [fn]'
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins.

Verse 15 is pretty Bold Maybe even DARING ! :) LOL PTL PTL

Let there be a step in your walk, a joy of laughter! as the Lord has given us a new day, full of new mercies! PTL for i need to be forgiven therefor i must be forgiving and i struggle in that. :( But today i pray for a better understanding and the ability to forgive.

There IS a reason to live and a Reason we are here! It is to Honor our Father Who is in Heaven! Hallowed by THY Name!

Bless all who read this as we in agreement pray for your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven! PTL Amen :) THANK YOU FATHER!

Words of Faith = Action of ??

Funny Story

Taking my youngest back home traffic was terrible, coming back could have been worse but but i stayed in a hotel instead.
I got Gas for 1.73 on the way there and 1.69 on the way back now the story........
i watched to see how much gas it took from yermo to mesquite add $5 to make there for the full fill up. 5 minutes past Baker i hear a beep. I look around thinking it came from outside. Middle child says "Gas?" i had just looked @ baker and gas was good had plenty to make Yermo. So what would a Woman of Faith do? Pray of course.
So i prayed not once but multiple times, "Thank you Lord for your provisions. I ask that i would make it to Yermo without having to get out of the car until i get to the station in yermo." "thank you Lord for the angels pushing me there so that i dont have to get out" enemy would say things like it's gonna be hot out there in the middle of no where and i would pray again "Thank you lord for your provisions, I know you will provide and i will make it to Yermo" back and forth for what i thought would be 30 miles i know i have enough gas for 30 miles. then i saw a sign saying 27 miles to Yermo....what!.... it was 30 miles 30 miles ago. on the red line now Lord Please!.....
okay next exit gas no, next exit gas Yes.........2.99 what i only have 5 miles left and i stopped and got out of my car, turned it off and put in $2,oo to equal .6 gallons LOL the needle didnt even move. still on the red empty line.
I got back in the car and immediately thought oh my goodness what did i just do?
I didn't allow God to bless me and i didn't trust in Him to provide for me.
Get back on the Freeway and the 2nd exit was the $1.63 gas. Of Course i get off still looking at the gas needle on the empty line. You can imagine at the price it was packed and i was waiting behind and elderly man with a cane comforted that i was at the station and even if i did run out of gas i was @ the station and could push if i had too. still watching the gas needle. the man motions to me that he was goin in, as if he would be a while, it was cool. no biggy. car still running and still watching the needle this man not only walked slow he took his time in the store/restroom. now my gas needle is above the red line and was watching the needle move up. I told my middle child LOOK! she did........the man finally comes out with a full bag of snacks and i can now see white line under the needle showing a gap above the empty red line. LOL look child it moved up even more. I didn't have to stop and get the 2.99 .6 gal gas. i could have saved it toward 1.5 gal gas instead. but no not me, ye of little faith. Goes to show That we think one thing and do another. Again i felt as if the spirit was saying to me, Have i not already shown you in many different ways that i am there for you. that i will not forsake you? Once again he has proven to me that He is more Faithful than i can ever be. PTL

Duet 31:8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
