Break Through

January 31, 2010...I have had the pleasure of hearing a wonderful sermon tonight. With saying that, I know I have alot of barriers in my life right now. I am totally ready for a break through. I WILL NOT allow my enemies to block my break through. Just as the pastor said, " it takes a whole lot of faith to overcome the barriers in our lives. Never spoken more true. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
The sermon was also about fasting. I have never really understood the concept until Friday, when it was put into perspective. I will leave it at that. Isaiah 58:1-12 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

58:2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

58:3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

58:4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

58:5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

58:7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:

58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

58:12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

My Promises
I will face my addiction to cigarettes.
I will face my fears: remove the things in life that hold me back.
I will turn over my problems to God to lift them from me.
I will be a better example for my children.
I will allow my faith to lift my burdens form my shoulders.

Pulled in Two

January 30....Tonight I lost my way for a little while. But quickly found it. I am at the point in my life troubled. Which should I choose...Not for pleasure, but knowing the guidance that will prevail. Love is so hard sometimes. I know what my heart feels, I don't necessarily know why I feel this way...Maybe it is right maybe it isn't. But I know that You will show me the right way. I honestly know what is right. I just do not feel like I need to attempt it at this time. If it is to be it will be. I have faith in You to see that the right choice is made.

Eye Opening

January 21, 2010.....So much has happened on this day. I found out that I have to undergo surgery on February 9, 2010. I pray that You will give then doctors the strength, knowledge to use their tools(hands) to fix what has went wrong within me. I pray to You, that you hold me in Your Healing Hands to heal me after the surgery.
Also on this day, an old friend contacted me out of the blue. In all honesty I believe with all my heart, that You led them back into my life. To help me get the guidance back that I had lost and to get You completely back into my life. I am growing more and more everyday, with Your help and with the help of Our Friend.
