HEAVEN...               

 As I sat writing in my Gratitude Journal thanking God for my daily blessings I began to realize how fast my life is traveling! 

I'm looking forward to my 80th birthday this year. 

God has blessed me with an ability to fall to sleep as soon as my head rests on the pillow…then 8 hours later I wake up refreshed and rested, but I feel like it was just "15 minutes".     

I like new beginnings.  New Years Day fills me with new expectations for the coming year. Yet it seems like just "one month" and I am preparing for Christmas. The same is with my weeks. Sunday is my favorite day.   "One Hour" later and it is Sunday again.   I ask God "What are YOU trying to get across to me?"  The Holy Ghost said "This is what HEAVEN is like…for one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day".   II Peter 3:8      

 "A thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past.”  Psalms 90:4    

Every day I am aware of God's PRESENCE in my life.   I have lots of time to be alone with HIM.  He is my FIRST LOVE.  He tells me when I get to HEAVEN that every day will be "TODAY”…Always in the "Present"…no tomorrows or yesterdays.   

Every day will be full of LIGHT. For Jesus is the LIGHT there. In HEAVEN there are no shadows. Revelations 21:23 

There is no night there. Revelations 21:25

GOD never sleeps, so I believe I will never need to sleep. Psalms 121:3         

I will never grow weary for GOD never grows weary. Isaiah 40:28         

Eternity is forever and I believe it will seem like a short while. 

 Like the song says "Sitting at the feet of Jesus"   will be worth it all.  

I want HIM to share His wisdom with me like HE did the multitudes here on earth.               

I want to see HIM face to face. Revelations 22:4               

I've laid up my treasures there.   Matthew 6:20   

I've filled golden vials with my prayers for my family.  Revelatins 5:8 

As HIS BRIDE I have prepared myself-- my lamp is full of oil.  Matthew 25:4                

I'm getting homesick for Heaven.  Come Quickly, LORD JESUS.  I love you JESUS.   See you there.

 

PRAYING IN GOD'S WILL...

 
In November of 1949 my husband and I brought our first child into the world.
  
Bob took my mother and I to the hospital. 
 
While I was in labor, my mother went to the chapel at the hospital.  The Holy Ghost told her "it is a boy".   As she came out the door of the chapel, Bob came down the hall saying "it is a boy". 
  
Then when he was one week old, mother and I layed hands on him and  my holiness mother prayed "Lord, make him a Holiness preacher."  
 
When he was 2 weeks old I knelt by my bed and held his small hand and thanked God for my son.  
 
I said "Lord, I will take him to church and teach him about Jesus but there is something I can't do and I want YOU to do that--Put JESUS in his heart"     
 
Now 60 years later,  Evangelist Michael Ferree is that answer to our prayers!        
GOD IS FAITHFUL TO BRING IT TO PASS!     
 
There is nothing too difficult for my GOD. 
 
 He said He is the ONLY GOD and I BELIEVE THAT. 
His Name is 'I Am'--'Lord'--'Master'--'Savior'--'Baptizer'-- 'Sanctifier'--'Healer'--'Friend'--'Ruler'--and my soon coming back to this earth 'KING'. 
He has been my Father, Mother, Brother, Sister and Husband.  
My Heavenly Father watches over me and I know He cares for me.  
 
Let's start the New Year with Jesus.  He has a plan for our life and we need to accept HIS plan. 
 
My Love to all of you this New Year.   I have prayed for many of you and you have prayed for me.    I THANK YOU.
