WHEN I LOOK AT MY DEAF CAT ARWIN SHE REMINDS ME OF HOW I WALK LATELY WITH GOD.........
She is totally deaf, and, as a result has very odd movements, jerks head quickly back and forth and does a bit of a crooked walk when she first awakes.
Perhaps I do not have on my spiritual ears and walk a bit "funny" too!
And like Arwin perhaps I have some trouble waking up to the truth that God makes all my paths straight so I just need to trust in Him.
After all He is the one who put Arwin in our home and she is so loved and accepted no matter what.
It is the same and more with God who has given all for me just so I can walk straight before Him.

So things do not always seem right in order for me.
For example, I love my little church,it is wonderful.
But of late I have been not attending because of my husband's work.
And it is not so much that as I have a yen to attend my daughter's church.
Just this "idea" in me that I should go there.
When I do it all fits together.
So now what do I do next?
I feel like an adulterous woman not returning even to visit my home church.
Yet I know that I am not doing this to be mean or unkind but I just am so blessed I many ways and even a blessing to others.
Now what?

This is a day when I read a lot of different things, you know like testimonies, self help reads and some scripture.
What I like to do is write some things down so I remember them or can use them in the future too.
Today I posted some on facebook and made a spelling error.
It was quite funny actually and someone did notice it.
This is what the kingdom of God is like too
we can laugh at some silly mistakes we made on our time on earth

"When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall set a standard against him. " Isaiah 59:19
Some days are just full of many surprising and shocking events.
I am sure that many of them throw us off our feet ,cry, mourn, be anxious and have second thoughts, even doubts about our faith and our God!
Yet when I look at the words above I wonder how can I ever be afraid or doubt?
God is so ready for anything and has the arms of comfort available always.
He draws us out of the deep flood waters of the time and puts us un a high place with Him.
Sometimes we do not see the little boat coming to save us.
Some days we cannot feel the arms of love around us and maybe even take them for granted
But believe what His word says
He always has a net waiting to catch us, a standard waiting to come against the darkest of powers................

"Pour water upon every thirsty place of my life and floods upon every dry place in my life"
Isaiah44:3
This world denies its children living water.
It claims a substitute instead leaving us thirstier and longing for real quenching of our spirits and hearts
Imagine if your baby cried and cried for a drink!!!!
How much would you want to fill that cup and satisfy that little ones thirst!!
But we, as those who have no clue where to get water, instead give our little ones cups that are empty, or, perhaps, half full.
We try to bless them with this and that drink and even sell them the idea that it satisfies the thirst.
But we neglect to provide our children with the water that never leaves you thirsty, from the eternal spring of living waters.
I would never want to deny my children or grandchildren anything, especially something as basic as providing for their well being.
How much also do I want them to taste that living water so they will never thirst again.
for eternity
God so, as our heavenly Father, wants to fill our cups forever with His source of eternal love and life, His living water.
"All who are thirsty, all who are weak
come to the fountain..........................

"Lord, help me to forget the former things and not dwell on the past. Do a new thing in my life. Make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:19
When contractors start clearing out forests and making roads and paths to go through, it must be a huge job.
I cannot imagine the work it entails to clear trees, brush, rocks and even disrupt the animal lives who dwell there.
Sometimes when I think about how God has cleared my "wilderness" it truly amazes me.
And He still is doing some more work on the tangles and webs in my life and my mind.
I am so glad he is the head honcho, the chief trail blazer and the nurturer who holds me and restores new ways for me to walk on thee roads.
The same is true for the desert places where days are so dry you can not dislodge the tongue from the mouth's roof.
Mostly these days are when I have not come to Him and just let my heart and mind "dry up" .
Days when I dwell on dull, useless things and not the waterfalls of blessing He provides.
He is the ONLY one who can water these dry times.................

DO A NEW THING IN MY LIFE!!!!
Make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert" Isaiah 43:19
I was thinking of how when you had your tonsils out as a kid they give you popsicles or ice cream afterwards to cool and ease pain, and, the sweet flavors and tastes make you forget all the misery you just went through.
The thing is with our former lives, like mine, when I taste and see that God is so good now it is kinda hard to believe at times.
It is like I can taste the delicious ice cream, accept the fact that I am getting better and healed(just like after my tonsillectomy) and that soon I will be so well I will just about forget all the pain and anxiety of this surgery.
Yet some days I remember the pain of the tonsils and fever and even the fear of going in the hospital for the big day of surgery.
Just as I so remember some days what brutal indsets I once had and the hurtful things I have done against God and others.
God create in me a new heart and mind so I will remember no more the horrors that sin has done to me. Let me instead focus on the savory goodness of your new Life you have placed in me.
Just like strawberry ice cream remind me I have good things to enjoy in your love now and forever and eternity to come
in Jesus name amen

WORD FOR LIFE: CLEARING A PATH FOR YOUR LIFE(iSAIAH 43:16)
WORD FOR LIFE: CLEARING A PATH FOR YOUR LIFE(iSAIAH 43:16): MAKING A PATH "Lord, make a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters" Isaiah 43:...
CLEARING A PATH FOR YOUR LIFE(iSAIAH 43:16)
MAKING A PATH
"Lord, make a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters" Isaiah 43:16
Making a path often includes clearing debris, perhaps removing decaying stuff, even sometimes cutting down trees which block the way of the good path, the smoothing of the forest ground.
Sometimes paths on high mountains are cleared with much deliberate surveying and securing a firm footing near many a steep edge.
There are paths near the rivers which may be drawn for fertile soil and protected from the high waters of our days ahead.
God you create these paths for us to follow so many of them prepared for us to make our way steady and our feet firmly planted in You.
Snowy paths where you plow ahead of us the clearing, rocky paths which you hoe out and smooth the way for us to follow you.
All these paths lead to you because they are prepared by you.
So let us not be afraid to go on the rough roads, the wet ones, the snowy ones......
When we set You before our way and in our lives there is no path that is not made straight
Thank you Jesus!!!
