My Powerful Jesus Journey

While I have chosen to upgrade my prayer life, the signs are everywhere. I've seen an inner stirring in my husband. Last night that inner stirring is starting to become an outer whirl wind. It just shows that prayer is working. I WILL remain patient AND loving. God is my FORTRESS and COMFORTER and my JOY. In Him I will delight! I will stand my ground over Satan for I was given authority over him by Jesus Christ! I will NOT be shaken and will remain immovable with God as my foundation AND stronghold!!!

So I embarked on a SURPRISING adventure yesterday! Shall we say it was definitely a "Monday" yesterday? It started out as usual, I got the kids up and off to school, was making breakfast for my husband, and then the phone rang. My son had thrown up on the bus and so we needed to go pick him up as soon as we could. Thankfully, he wasn't sick with something, just a bad tummy moment. When we got home, I finished making breakfast for my husband, and got him off to work. The sun was shining bright, gorgeous temp out, it was the perfect fall day to get outside stuff done and I was doing it! I decided I was going to start with the brush pile because I could keep adding to it while I was doing other stuff; you know, multitasking. Well, as soon as we were outside, kids are already fussing and fighting. This gave me the sense of urgency! I had to get stuff done quick and fast. The Holy Spirit inside me kept telling me to slow down but I simply didn't listen. I lit th

I'm sharing this song of inspiration and uplifting encouragement since that's what it feeds me, and energizes me to get up and hold on, don't let go, keep pressing on for anything that is intended for evil against us He uses for our good!!! How great a Lord we have! https://youtu.be/ I9F8R9R8XVs Thank You, Father, for all the wonderful music we have that feeds us life and truth! Thank You, God, for all of the encouragement and inspiring my heart! I love You with every beat of my heart, every fiber of my being! I may stumble, but You always catch me and help me back me up again and again and it's so undescribably awesome to now see that You are always here with me helping me dust myself off and pick up all the pieces! With out You, Lord, I couldn't do it!!! It wouldn't be possible for through Christ ALL things are possible!!! I love you guys and thank you for being on this journey with me! May you all go forth and be blessed!!!

I remember when I was in highschool there was a particular day my grandma decided to give some advice, ”if I give just one piece of advice to you, don't marry the first guy who asks you." Well, she was right, that was pretty much the only piece of advice she really gave me. Also, she was right and I'm thankful I listened to her. I had dated a particular guy on and off for a few years. As much as I cared for him, I never really took him seriously. I guess deep down I knew that regardless of what he said to me, he really didn't take me seriously. Yes, he had asked me to marry him. Needless to say, that didn't happen... Thank you, grandma, for giving me that piece of advice. I also thank the Holy Spirit for already working in me back then!

My upbringing was not a pleasant one. I grew up with my mom who had different men in and out of her life. She married when I was 1 to a man that wasn't my dad but I had thought he was my dad. He'd take me for walks, play with me at the parks, even read me bedtime stories. When I was 5, they divorced. Up until that point, my mom had been a stay at home mom. We occasionally bumped heads but not often and she was a pretty good mom especially since things for her were settled and she was supported in her parenting of me by her husband. After they were divorced, she changed. I understand why and my heart goes out to her, for all of the hurting in different areas she was feeling. Because my mom was a single mom trying to take care of me the best she could, my grandma and her husband let us live with them for awhile. We next moved into an apartment and they continued to watch me when I wasn't in school. That summer, my grandma's husband molested me multiple times... The
