Hope Discovered

Greetings to you, we are truly blessed to be here. On this sixth day of the fourth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). I continue my discovery during my recovery. I recognize my space and my place. I walk in faith since I have discovered Hope. I discovered that Hope creates the will to live, to stand, to go on. I discovered that hope will not make me ashamed during my tribulation. I discovered that Hope is one of the three virtues that abide beside faith and charity. I discovered that Hope gives courage, tenacity and strength to endure...just as Jesus did when He went to the Cross, despising the shame for the Joy that was set before him. I discovered that Hope lifts you up out of the pit of despair and gives you the power to run when your feet have failed you. I discovered that Hope is like the dew in the morning, simply resting upon my brow. I discovered Hope, is the unction to function. Hope is the Strive to keep you alive.
Without hope where would we be? I discovered it here, in this place on my journey. When it seemed like nothing was going according to the vision I saw, when the dreams turned into nightmares; when the joy in the morning turned into weeping in midnight hour. Hope... where are you? I need you, I long for you. Is there more than just this? At one point, I did loose it, my hope. I discovered it though, I had left it at the last fire, it was being consumed by my guilt and my tears...but then, I rose, like a woman out of sleep, or one in a coma. I discovered that if I could just grab onto a glimmer of hope, a slither of hope and phantom of hope even, I would be able to rise. I discovered that if in this life...in these people, in the things I can see, if they were the only things I had hope in...I would be so miserable. So, I have discovered that I must build my hope on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. No name, no frame, my hope is beyond this temporal madness. Therefore, I can stand, I can endure, I can go on. As we were reminded last week...Why are you worried, disquieted, uneasy...Don't you have hope in God? Yes, You Do have hope in God!!!!

Time to Emerge--come out into view

My sister-friends (and others), welcome to Springtime. It is the twenty-second day of the third month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). Today, the spirit of God reminded me that many beautiful things will Emerge , have emerged , from the fire. The end result of the fire will be an amazing truth that cannot be denied. The fiery trials...there are many, but to each his own. My fiery trial is not for you and yours is not for me. God has chosen us all for a unique and divine purpose. He must get a return on the investment He made in us. He invested so much love, talent, power, anointing in us...and His purpose for our lives must be, WILL be fulfilled. Through many dangers and Snares, through mountains high and valleys low, through increase and lack, God is determined that the best of me, the best of you will emerge . Our best self will come out of all of this "stuff of life". This journey is not without purpose. The fire has come, has gone and will come again....

Day TWO

Greetings my friends, today is the second day of the first month in the year of Fullness and Glory. So many incredible things happening, so many memories still fresh in our minds. Looking ahead with hope and looking back with appreciation and gratitude because "I survived", some things that happened in 2008 should have broken me, but, as Lady Brown shared,they just bent me a little. My quesiton is always.....What Glory shall come of this? and God says....when the Glory comes the trial will seem so small.....it can even stand in comparison.....so, today .....please be reminded,......Glory is coming, and then another trial, but this is the only way we can move and grow and complete our purpose....FROM GLORY TO GLORY....hang in there my sisters, You wil be so impressed when you see the finished product. Share your Journey with us...and help someone.....What is your Testimony for His Glory? What was your great trial of 2008.....Cause we have left all the mess behind as we cross...

So Blessed

My mind is just in a place of thanksgiving and gratitude. It is the eleventh day of the fifth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). Without question, I am blessed. My sister, my friend, take some time to day and just give thanks because you are blessed. Inhale, exhale, you are So blessed . Look around through eyes that can see, you are So blessed . Put one foot on the floor and walk, you are So blessed . Look at your children, your husband, wife, life and loves. You are So blessed . So blessed , that you can't allow anything or anyone to make you doubt that. So blessed , that you can walk on water, just like peter did. So blessed that you have endured the fiery furnace(s) like the three Hebrew men. So blessed you have seen the glory like Isaiah. So blessed you have felt his grace and mercy like Mary Magdeline. So blessed you have given birth to his seed, like Mary. So blessed , despite all the mess, don't you dare stress, God will take care of the rest....
