Prayer

I have people that contact me at the most in opportune times, they frantically text me, email or telephone sometimes in a panic asking me to do something for them. Though I am a very busy woman , with many things on the go at all times, I oblige and surrender to what they ask.

They need someone to pray with them.
Wow! what a priveledge that they would choose me to be the one that would pray for them or with them and to be able to come in agreement with the powers of heaven!
I stop whatever very important task that I am engaged in at that moment and I do the unthinkable- I pray for that person. There is no greater thing that one can do for another person when they ask you to pray, than to actually pray. To give up some of your valuable time to bring someone or their concern before the Father in heaven.

Not to promise to pray, but to actually take some of your precious time and care for someone other than yourself now.

And what is even greater is that if you take some time during your praying to hear the voice of God - it may very well shift that person or the situation.Yeah!! to think we can shift things on earth when our prayers go to heaven.
Wow, I love talking, but there is nothing like having a three way conversation with someone else and God!!

I believe that if we spent more time communicating with God that this world would be a better place and the people we encounter would be different people.
There is power in prayer.

Take some time and send up a prayer for someone today- greater than that call someone and pray for them outloud, sacrifice an important part of your day, it will be worth it!

O Canada
As I ponder in the light of eternity all that I have encountered this weekend at the Canadian awakening conference in Toronto, Canada. I stand in amazement at a wonderful, all powerful, magnificent, loving and fearful God! He is so intricate and detailed that to try to figure out even a fragment of everything that He is doing all at once is too much to consider. I love to express my worship to God in dance. I love to let my hands and feet and full body express what I desire to say to Him. I fall short most of the time and feel like I need 50 or so more songs to play to even try to come close. How great is my God? It is well with my soul, Majesty, Lamb upon the throne, Sovereign Lord. All songs that have moved my body greatly this weekend, allowing me to tell the lover of my soul how I truly feel.

Waiting to Exhale

You… you are the air, the air that I breathe
You’re very breath, that is living in me
Causin me to pause …
For just a moment I freeze
Waiting to exhale, let it out
Like a warm summers breeze

I take a deep breath and everything I need
Is there at my side, right beside me
Giving me life… that never , ever fails
While I’m waiting here… to exhale

As breathe in I hold on, bated breath
Lean back in your arms, in comfort I rest
Holding on…all fear is gone...
I exhale once more
I exhale because
You alone, you are the breath in me
You alone are the reason I breathe

I release life, love and liberty
As I let go of the Source that has set me free
As I breath out I get down, down on my knees
And with everything I am
I exhale
Then I ...breathe

Letting go of everything to become all God has called me to be

I have a burning in my heart to find the truth about my heritage and about who I am fully and complete . I believe everyone does. For we are more than just who we have become in the few short years that we have lived. We are sum of our experiences, our generational history and the application of the Truth we have applied to our lives.
As I get older I get a little wiser as I walk this journey that I have set myself upon to become all that God desired for me to be. Yet I struggle due to expectations, limitations and just plain old timing. I would love to snap my fingers and instantly change into the woman God designed me to be. This is the way of the future- instant. God on the other hand has other plans for me as He teaches me that which I lack the most ,patience. Slowly but surely He is teaching me and bringing me simultaneously into my destiny, my future is becoming my present.
Yet there is one thing that seems to hold me back that I cant seem to get rid of… ME. I need to let go of a few things that I have placed in my hands in order to grab a hold of that which God desires to give to me. I cant do both successfully.
Yet these things I hold on to are like a safety blanket to me. I have come to trust them and rely on them and even need them. Some of them are not even real, they are attached to lies that I have believed but that are so intricately connected that to let go of them frightens me. It seems like the whole house would come crashing down.
But I know what I must do. So with all the strength I have within me I let go. And for a brief moment in time I hold nothing. Yet nothing seems to be enough , for in that I have only one thing left , God. He is all I need and He is forever there. S lowly… He gives me back the truth and the things that are necessary for the next phase in my journey, and even loves me enough to add a few treasures that come in the form of blessings. How faithful is His loving kindness towards His children. He is erasing some of my past, changing my present and orchestrating my future. How marvellous are His works!
Why did I ever doubt Him? I need to learn to trust the One that fashioned and formed me in my mother’s womb and called me out of darkness into His marvellous light.
Now I stand on solid ground, a firm foundation, ready to build on truth . Letting go of everything to become who God has called me to be.
