Greetings from Texas!
The weather was almost spring today. It was in the 70's most of the day. John and I sat on the porch and I combed our sweet dog. It felt so good to breath in the fresh air and know that the sun would soon come to stay. It was a little cool this morning for coffee on the porch but that is coming soon.
Today's reading was on moving mountains and that is what has been on my mind all day. The verse is: "Say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there.' and it will move." Matthew 17:20
Mark Batterson reminds the readers to talk to the problem about how big God is. He also reminded the reader that Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. And when He roars, everything is shaken. I want to hear Him roar. For many years, I have prayed for my children and it is starting to sound boring. Today I named two mountains. One mountain is Julie and the other one is Joey. I told the mountains that my God can and will shake them. The earth movers are on the way. God sends the unlikely to move mountains. I only need to be still. My daughter is 50 and extremely disrespectful. My husband had a heart attack the end of October 2016 and she came that day and we haven't seen her since. She lives about 2 hours away. She should be ashamed but I don't think she is. She is about herself. Our son, Joey age 48, has a drinking problem. He is always complaining about not feeling good, but he needs to stay away from alcohol. He loves his job and has a huge heart but every once and awhile he spends two days drinking. The devil is alive and well and they don't seem to understand he came to lie, kill and destroy. God waits patiently for them to come to Him. I rebuke the devil and send him into a pit of pigs deep in the depths of hell. I refuse to give my children to anyone but God. He has a beautiful plan for them. What mother doesn't want the best for her children. God is the best. He is for me so who could be against me? I have faith that God is going to deliver my children to His perfect plan for them. They are children of God and they need to start acting like it. I visioned big yellow earth movers all day. Plowing those mountains down and a beautiful field of wildflowers planted to provide the richness of color and joy into their lives.
The prayer challenge is so good and has opened my thinking and made my prayers powerful. It has also increased my faith. I can't wait to drop to my knees and talk to Jesus. I know He listens and waits for me.
Walking the driveway today was refreshing. I pray that tomorrow, I will do it again. I need to drink more water. I also made several tags and will embellish them tomorrow. Life is good.
The promise for today is: The early belongs to Me and all that is in it. Psalm 24:1
May the Lord bless you and keep you. I am asking HIM to cover you with His favor and finest blessings.
Love is in the ink!
Love is in my heart!
Love, Mary Kay
