last xanga entry.
I know I have not been here on xanga for months.... and I know that I don't think I will be back. It's not because I don't like this web page, it's that I just don't have the time to be here and everywhere else.
My xanga years are coming to an end....and i will miss it.
If you are a faithful xanga blogger KEEP blogging!

"Never change God's facts into hopes or prayers but simply accept them as realities, and you will find them to be powerful as you believe them"H.W. Webb
God will make our obstacles serve His purpose. We all have mountains in our lives, and often these obstacles are people and things that threaten to block the progress of our spiritual life. And we often pray for their removal, because we think that if only these were removed, we would live a more tender, pure, and holy life....but these are the very conditions we need for achievement.... however, we believe that if these obstacles would only be removed we will experience immediate deliverance and victory. But it is not true! How can we experience genuine patience if we do not endure the very trials that seem so unbearable today.
So when we come to the foot of the mountains, we will find our way. "I will turn all my mountains into roads" Isaiah 49:11.

April 30 Run With Patience "Let us run with patience" (Heb. 12:1). O run with patience is a very difficult thing. Running is apt to suggest the absence of patience, the eagerness to reach the goal. We commonly associate patience with lying down. We think of it as the angel that guards the couch of the invalid. Yet, I do not think the invalid's patience the hardest to achieve. There is a patience which I believe to be harder--the patience that can run. To lie down in the time of grief, to be quiet under the stroke of adverse fortune, implies a great strength; but I know of something that implies a strength greater still: It is the power to work under a stroke; to have a great weight at your heart and still to run; to have a deep anguish in your spirit and still perform the daily task. It is a Christlike thing! Many of us would nurse our grief without crying if we were allowed to nurse it. The hard thing is that most of us are called to exercise our patience, not in bed, but in the street. We are called to bury our sorrows, not in lethargic quiescence, but in active service--in the exchange, in the workshop, in the hour of social intercourse, in the contribution to another's joy. There is no burial of sorrow so difficult as that; it is the "running with patience." This was Thy patience, O Son of man! It was at once a waiting and a running--a waiting for the goal, and a doing of the lesser work meantime. I see Thee at Cana turning the water into wine lest the marriage feast should be clouded. I see Thee in the desert feeding a multitude with bread just to relieve a temporary want. All, all the time, Thou wert bearing a mighty grief, unshared, unspoken. Men ask for a rainbow in the cloud; but I would ask more from Thee. I would be, in my cloud, myself a rainbow -- a minister to others' joy. My patience will be perfect when it can work in the vineyard. --George Matheson "When all our hopes are gone,
'Tis well our hands must keep toiling on
For others' sake:
For strength to bear is found in duty done;
And he is best indeed who learns to make
The joy of others cure his own heartache."

PEOPLE PANIC... GOD PROVIDES
by Charles R. SwindollRead 1 Samuel 15:1--19
The tragic story of King Saul is that he never, ever fully repented of his sin. Saul's greatest concern was his image, how he looked before the people. Even after Samuel gave him a break, Saul took advantage of it and continued in that same vein until the day he took his own life. How sad is that?
Samuel has reached the end of his rope. The people elected Saul king, but he's no longer qualified. What are they to do? Israel is surrounded by enemies, and they need someone to carry the scepter. But who? Samuel didn't know and couldn't imagine. The people didn't know and had no suggestions. No one knew . . . except God.
What Samuel didn't realize---what we often don't realize---is that behind the scenes, before He ever flung the stars into space, God had today in mind. He had this very week in mind. In fact, He had you in mind. And He knew exactly what He was going to do. God is never at a loss to know what He's going to do in our situations. He knows perfectly well what is best for us. Our problem is, we don't know. And we say to Him, "Lord, if You just tell me, then I'll be in great shape. Just reveal it to me. Explain Your plan to me, and I'll count on You." But that's not faith. Faith is counting on Him when we do not know what tomorrow holds.
When a man or a woman of God fails, nothing of God fails. When a man or woman of God changes, nothing of God changes. When someone dies, nothing of God dies. When our lives are altered by the unexpected, nothing of God is altered or unexpected. It was the prophet Isaiah who wrote: "Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear" (Isaiah 65:24).
"Before you even utter a word," God promises, "I'm involved in answering. In fact, while you're speaking, I'm involved in bringing to pass the very thing I have planned from the get go."
God knows exactly what He's going to do, and nothing can restrain His bringing it to pass.
Oh Lord, how I need to get reminded of this.

About Me

I enjoy learning new things from the Lord everyday. I love Jesus Christ with all of me. I am in this earth with a mission to serve and to glorify God in all I do. I am still in the process of doing both, and I enjoy every minute of it. I am an easy person to get along, I like to laugh, cry, scream, you know the usual. This is one of my favorite quotes: "A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man must be seeking the Lord to find it."
