Why Me!

I watch through the tears as he struggles to talk.  As he struggles to walk.  As he struggles to sit still.  Twenty three, and a disease that is inherited, with no cure in sight.  My love for him runs deep… and my heart hurts… and my prayers are hard.  I then watch as this little girl lives in a place of darkness because brain tumors have taken her sight.  Her illnesses are many but her spirit is huge.  Her picture is something I see daily and her story is special to my heart.  And it hurts…   I pray to take their pain away.  I pray to make them whole.  I pray to bless them and give them favor. My thoughts then turn to “why me and not them?”  Each day he blesses me to overflowing.  He gives me strength.  He gives me health.  He gives me resources I don’t deserve.  So why does he shower me with blessings?  “to those that are given much… much will be expected”  If you have health… if you have wealth… if you have blessings untold do not for one minute think it is for you.  Every blessing in your life. Every talent you possess. Every resource at your disposal was given by God, to help others, to his glory.  These young people inspire me with their energy.  It is up to me to spread his love and resources, in return.  I would gladly trade all these blessings for their health.   

Luke 12:48

I Love You!

Living In The Flow!

At an early age I could hear the music. I could see it everywhere.  I could feel it in my soul and hear it in my head.  As a gift from God I learned to play the guitar without lesson. Music is not about notes on a page or theory in books.  You have to…

Incomparable Love!

As he laid there on the sidewalk, cigarette still burning, the other homeless people where flagging down the ambulance.  I stopped for a moment to render a prayer that God would take care of his soul.  Then the realization hit my heart.  God was crying for the death of this homeless man just as he…

Faith And Love!

My conversation with him was one of listening.  Listening to how he could never do enough, or be good enough, for his parents.  He could never be good enough to please God… or so he was taught.  At which he said “why even try”.  He told me he was estranged from his parents and wasn’t…

Speak To Me!

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart.  Father… without saying a word you can light up the dark.  Each day as I find myself surrounded by so many negative people, and so much evil, your love gives me peace. A love that can only be found in your presence.  Your arms wrap…

Keep Praying!

Do you ever feel so proud you could explode?  So relieved you could float?  So happy you could dance?  Answered prayer can do that.  I have spent years in prayer.  I have begged…  I have pleaded… I have yelled at God and at satan.  I have been mad that God was not saving this young…
