O taste and see the Lord is good

Christianity
Lord I am so greatful that you exist, my heart, like Yours, is faint with love. No one can ever speak to me like You do. Your words melt all my my fears. I taste Your Word. I eat Your Word and know You are good. I hear sweet whispers in my ears as You drip them over my life. Your word softens my heart and I give You praise. There is none like You!
I Praise your Holy Name!!
I am so excited about the many surprises come showered down in gifts of love from You to me. My heart falls at Your feet in adoration, adoration for the One who is never disappointed in me, the One who always encourages me. When Your correction comes it is so enveloped in a honey like love I never dismay or feel chastised. I am softened in Your presence today. I breathe deeply of the atmosphere of heaven for You are near, always near. Yes, You are here. I will not turn You away.
I Love YOU Lord

The Play We Saw

Story Of Jesus, This is the most Awesome Play I have ever seen! If you are ever in Florida you must see this. I have lived here all my life and I never knew about this one particular play. I have seen Jesus plays, Lets say they were good, BUT this one unbelievable!
There were 200 people and 150 animals playing the parts. I cannot wait to see this again. I would put the picture of the web site but it is locked, if you would like to check out the web site it is www.storyofjesus.com There was a group of 30 that went and it was just awesome!! I was amazed truly amazed at the way the animals acted, amazed of the scenery, I was amazed at the floating angels.
I loved the chariots they had, they made the set like the city, people and animals walking on the dirt streets. It was exciting from beginning to end. The people are all volunteers, come as far as Georgia, they even invited us to come and volunteer as well.
They really went all out and made it seem as though we were there and it was really happening, When it came down towards the end, and Jesus was being whipped with cane poles and leather whips, I felt every hit, the tears just flowed down my face, it was very emotional.
Brad and I talked about the play the whole way home, things that I seen that he didn't and things he saw that I didn't, there was alot going on. What made us laugh and what made our hearts ache. Like I said these are just a few of the awesome photos, if you would like to see more go to there website.
They kept quoting scriptures, and Brad and I kept repeating them or saying them before they could finish :)

Don't forget to go check out the site you will be glad you did. I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed weekend like we did
We really enjoyed this and I know if you have a chance to see this you will too.
Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day everyone

My wonderful friend Paula @ www.hisways-isaiah558.blogspot.com is having a give away plus she too just celebrated her blogaversary, she is a wonderful woman of Christ and her blog site is absolutely filled with the word of God, If you have not been over to visit, allow me to highly recommend her!

Breath Of His Word

I'm always thinking about the Word of God, But something came to mind and I found this verse in 2 Timothy 3:16 Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness

Images started coming to mind with the beautiful description Paul gives. I just pictured the fog that is created by exhaling on a cold morning. Or the thick mist that sprays from a dolphin or a whale as it surfaces for air. Or when you open the freezer and you see that cold that hits you in the face, This is breathing that creates something, exhaling that is a sign of life! Amen!!

Ezekial 37:10 And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.

In the same way, God’s "Word" resulted from the breath of God. When God breathe's, things happen. Light appeared when before, there was only suffocating darkness.
Stars sparkled the atmosphere because of one spoken word. Life itself awoke as God’s breath filled their lungs and creation gasped for more. God breaths life.

But I usually don’t have or think about this image when I open my Bible, especially in the morning through my sleepy eyes. I yawn and read a few verses without ever considering that the words I am reading are the very breath of God. Have you?
In fact, because the Word is living, these Words are a warm breath straight from God’s mouth.

1 Peter 1:23 Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God.

Life comes from His Word. Amen!! Every morning this life is freshly available for us to inhale. Our Father is breathing out Love, Hope, Truth and Grace on every page we turn to. That is why God’s Word is sooo powerful. It’s living. We hear the sounds of His breathing in every word.
He’s speaking to us!

Psalm 33:6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

We need to try and remember this as we open this precious Book we call the Bible. In it are the life-giving words of God speaking a Breath of fresh Air to each one of us.
We should take it seriously.

"It might just steal your breath away"

Happy BlogAversary!

It's one year since I started blogging, so I guess it's my BlogAversary! Thanks to all my blogging FRIENDS for your support and All those kind words over this past year, for taking time out for me sharing and caring being such Wonderful Inspirations!After going through the loss of my brother I truly was struggling with everything. My Pastor and Husband both thought I would not stay with the Lord, But I know what is right, and what was happening. I think alot of my struggle I had was with my Mom, she said things to me that made me think and in turn I found I was explaining why it happened the way it did, and that he would now be ok.

Then I got on the net and wanted to find a site that I could learn about woman in the bible, I was not able to get alot of teaching in the church that I was in due to it being in spanish and I only knew english. But I found this site that said "Would you like to learn and join a Women's bible study group to learn about the women in the bible". So of course I checked it out and not only was there a Wonderful woman that was sharing her thoughts on this but sooooo many other women as well. So I began to learn and learn, she had me so fired up with the Lord, that I could of went dancing in the streets, instead I did at church and with the Ladies at church, to which fired them up. If you have never been and visited her site I highly recommend that you do "Rachel Olsen" http://rachelolsen.blogspot.com/ I pray that oneday she will start up the Bible Study again, I will look forward to it and I know You will too.
I cannot name all of You but you know who you are Thank You Thank You from my heart, for all of your inspirational post, words, comments, and even some that give those inspirational post fixes :) they have mean't alot to me in my growing in my relationship with God, my husband, my life en-general!
I Love you all!!!!

The Road

The Road To Success Is Not Straight
There Is A Curve Called Failure
A Loop Called Confusion
Speed Bumps Called Friends
Red Lights Called Enemies
Caution Lights Called Family
You Will Have Flats Called Jobs


But . . .

If You Have A Spare Called Determination
An Engine Called Perseverance
Insurance Called Faith...
You Will Have A Driver Named Jesus!

"When you grow restless you will throw his yoke from off your neck,
Just let go!" Your "F-R-O-G" shall set you free.
F=Firmly

R=Relying

I got this from a friend today and thought I would share with you, I pray that Jesus always takes my wheel.

Praying Out Loud To God

Have you ever felt Loss for Words especially when it comes to praying? I know I have especially when I get around my husband. :) He prays so beautifully, he uses the word always. You know most of us women have no trouble communicating. I have seen studies that indicate women speak twice as many words as men. So why do we women sometimes have difficulty praying out loud, particularly in front of others? It would seem that conversing with God often leaves women at a loss for words.

While there is a willingness to pray, some women choose to remain silent allowing the “more eloquent” individuals to address God and of course this sometimes is me. God never values one person "or their prayer" above another. We are, however, given guidelines that guarantee any women’s prayer will be priceless before God. Amen!!


Express your love and appreciation for God’s power Psalm 18:1–6. I begin by thanking God for all things. Make your “conversation” a joyful attitude towards others My loved ones, Let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.
He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.
1 John 4:7–8. A self-righteous attitude stops prayer dead in its tracks! It’s still gossip when you share the “juicy details” with others in the name of prayer. Pray with a compassionate heart and watch God breathe joy into your words.

Trust God to hear every precious word you utter, allowing His peace to envelop you The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.
Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock. Isaiah 26:3–4.

Each prayer comes to life when we speak with assurance, free from worry, having peace that surpasses all human understanding.
We have to remember it’s Not About Me~You, when we understand the importance of attitude, we can focus next on the priority of our prayers. A woman’s prayer often centers upon how a situation relates to us. All emotions "fluctuating hormones" place the emphasis on our need to establish or preserve a relationship. By changing the “primary object” of any prayer, we women can tap into greater prayer effectiveness.

Prayer requires patience as well as surrendering our rights, So do not give up your hope which will be greatly rewarded.
For, having done what was right in God's eyes, you have need of waiting before his word has effect for you. Hebrews 10:35–36.
As women, it’s easy to become impatient ~~ with family conflicts, broken friendships, job, ~~ even God. “Doesn’t God know how upset I am?
I lack the composure to deal with all this.” Surrender your time~frame to Him, offering your patience as a prayer of trust.

Pray specifically for the person who irritated you the most today. When we extend unmerited kindness to another it transforms two lives, not just yours. I guarantee you, at the end of the day your kind words and thoughts will free you from any “I wish I hadn’t . . .” guilt. Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;
And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you. Ephesians 4:31-32.

We women utilize our time by multi-tasking. Yet we still struggle to find time to pray. Knowing that God is merciful, we hope that He’ll excuse us “just one more day.” Does this sound familar? Ultimately, we realize that, if we don’t take time to converse with God on a regular basis, our lives unravels quickly illness, finances, separation.
How then should we pray?

Pray faithfully, seeking the Holy Spirit’s help Ephesians 6:18; Romans 8:26. A few words spoken from the heart speak volumes. God is faithful as we depend on Him daily for answers. Choose a place of rest, free of distractions Matthew 11:28–29. Through those tender moments of communication, we experience the gentleness of a Father-daughter relationship. Expect distractions, but practice self-control, remaining steadfast in prayer 1 Peter 1:13; 5:7–8.
When we will to pray . . . God’s will is done!
When we follow these guidelines, our prayers will always be fruitful Galatians 5:22–23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith, Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.
