HAPPY DAY

Intimacy With The Lord

     I always get it goofed up.   The LORD wants to spend time with me, just the way I am.  Just as I love His Presence, He loves my presence.  Somehow, I am always thinking I've fallen short, or missed it.  That keeps me thinking I can't even enter in....   There's always some underlying feeling, that no matter what I do, I still don't do everything right...   But that's just it....  His sacrifice and His death on the cross, has PAID the price for me.  I couldn't do enough anyway, and when I have totally blown it, He's already made the provision.  When I feel I missed it or something, there's forgiveness.  I can come boldly into His throneroom, to the throne of GRACE.  His arms are always wide open.   OH HAPPY DAY!

The Doves...

On February 26, 2010,  I was looking out my kitchen window at the apple tree, and there flew a dove...

I watched for a while, and realized she/he had been nesting. Then another dove flew into the nest. Now two, I thought, that I can watch this family of doves right from my kitchen window.... oh spring is coming, thank you Lord for new life, little baby doves, hope...

I think this is a gift from the LORD, for all I've been through this past year, losing my mother.... It brought to mind that scripture...Song of Solomon 2:10... Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away, for lo the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtle DOVE is heard in our land.

Song of Solomon 2:14.... O my dove, in the clefts of the rock. In the secret place of the cliff... let me see your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely..

Today, as I "post" this to my blog, I think, how lovely is the LORD, let me see HIS face, let he hear HIS voice...

Getting the "I" out of everything....

I realize that I start my ideas with "I". "I" am going to do this or that, "I" want this or that. "I"'ve decided on something. I see my lack of prayer about most things. I'm changing my way of deciding and handling of matters. Instead of me putting "I" to start off the sentence, I put "Lord", what do you think about this..... "Lord" should I do that? Proverbs 3:5&6 "Acknowledge the Lord in all yours ways, and He will direct your paths." So, I know even before I get my motor running, even before I turn on the engine, I gotta put Him in the picture...Allow Him to sit in the "Driver's" seat, give Him the reigns, let Him direct me. He definitely has a plan, an agenda, if I am not careful, I can just go running off in the wrong direction. It's so easy to do..........

Having to Wait

I'm pretty calculating. I do alot of research and investigation before I finally decide on the exact thing I want. Then I can hardly contain the excitement for that thing. But with the LORD in the picture, I have to wait for HIS ok..... And lately He seems to be making me wait and wait and wait. I've actually gone ahead of Him before (more than a few times) at a cost (ouch).. But then I head back to the gate (like the horse) waiting for the signal. So LORD, my eyes, are glued on You, waiting for your nod. Help me not to get so excited about something that I race ahead and don't wait on YOU!
