A Heart Like Jesus

Max Lucado has a little pocket book out called, "A Heart Like Jesus" and it is rocking my world! I'm being challenged on loving, forgiving and living.

I have not been blogging much and perhaps you wonder why? Maybe not. ;)

I'm licking my wounds. I don't want to bore you with my hurts so I don't write.

I'm in a dry spell. I'm crying out to God for mercy and love and am not sure I am ready to share this part of my journey with the dot com world.

While I am not stagnant (see first sentence), I am in pain. Who wants to read a sad, painful, depressing blog??? Not I, for sure! So, I am sparing both you and me from having to read or write such misery.

No need for worry...it's just spring. What do we do in the spring? We prune. We trim. We uproot the dead ugly stuff and plant life. I believe I am right on schedule for the season. I am being trimmed and pruned. It hurts. It's not fun. It's ugly.

I am hopeful, though! This is the season for new beginnings! For new life, blossoms and blooms. Soon, summer will be here and I'll be maturing. Who knows when harvest time will arrive so before I get too far ahead of myself, know I am well. I am alive! I am living.

I hope to have some fun pictures to post soon. Then, we'll all smile. Promise.

Empty Me

Let me fill you with my Love, Joy, and Peace. Your weakeness is not a deterrent to being filled with My Spirit; on the contrary, it provides an opportunity for My Power to shine forth more brightly.

As you go through this day, trust Me to provide the strength that you need moment by moment. Don't waste energy wondering whether you are adequate for today's journey. My Spirit within you in more than sufficient to handle whatever this day may bring. That is the basis for your confidence! In quietness (spending time alone with Me) and confident trust (relying on My sufficiency) is your strength.

Empty Me video. I can't stop singing this chorus.

Perhaps this post will inspire you as it has me.
