if you'd like to participate follow the instructions.]

I know I'm a little late on the mark. I apologize. I just read Tea with Tiffany's blog for Thursday. As I read her post I felt the Holy Spirit welling up in me.

I thank God for Tiffany. She's an awesome example to me.

Read Tiffany's post. Come back here and let me know how her post affected you. Please leave me comments. Read below my response to Tiffany's post.

I've been commenting here; so I'll continue my tradition.

As I read your post, Tiffany, I too became undone. I could feel the Holy Spirit welling up in me as I read your words. It was as if I could see my mental list of Isaac's being given to God.

Lord God, Father, I lift mine eyes up toward Heaven to see the Heavenly places. I hand over my list of Isaac's that Tiffany mentions. I leave them with you as my heart weeps in sorrow & joy. Praise YOU Father God. I love YOU will all my being. In Jesus precious & holy name, amen.

The Word or A Resolution

I'm joining my bloggy friend Tiffany over at Tea with Tiffany as she makes a new year's resolution by using a word(s) instead of a list.

You can find out more detail by reading her specific post on this subject. Just click mr linky for her blog link.

If you feel inclined to also follow the lead please link your post to this one or Tiffany's original.

Lord Jesus, I pray that You would put in me a new word(s)/phrase that I could use for 2009. I pray that I be diligent and focused on You as I use it during the year to strengthen me. In Jesus' name, amen.

My word(s) will be:

Trust & obey keeps coming to mind. I feel the Holy Spirit moving on this. I believe I'll use it.

Here's my scripture:
Isaiah 50:9-10
9 Surely the Lord GOD will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
The moth will eat them up.
10 “ Who among you fears the LORD?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who walks in darkness
And has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the LORD
And rely upon his God.

Thankful list -- November 27, 2008

Today I read this is reverb's blog. I find it totally amazing that the things he listed fit what my list had on it. Except he mentioned his family and church. I'll mention mine instead of his. Just for clarity's sake... haha. I commented on his post. I'll copy my list here.

Psalm 26:6-8
6 I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O LORD,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving,
And tell of all Your wondrous works.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place where Your glory dwells.

1. Who God is for me -- [I'm borrowing how Ryan stated it, I love it.] I’m thankful that God is not a fad. He reinstates His love for me daily and reminds me that there is more out there. I’m grateful that He’s using me as an instrument of faith, hope, and love in my family…my city…and beyond. I am thankful that He is jealous for me and that His
   jealously demands my affection. I’m thankful that I’ve discovered that I would rather be a fool for Christ than straight-laced for the crowd.
2. That I have a best friend in my husband, & yes I think he’s smokin hot.
3. My family as it is, my four legged girl, Misa, my extended family living far away, as well as my in-laws.
4. The awesome Temple Baptist Church that I attend that has adult small group study that I attend.
5. [Again I'm borrowing this part from Ryan because I love how he states it.] I’m thankful for the conviction of God’s beautiful Holy Spirit who gently restores me and points me towards a better way. I’m grateful that this Spirit doesn’t kick me when I’m down, but rather picks me up and dusts me off showing me a new option. I love that God’s tone of voice is one of gentleness and patience and love. (my line --->) God is a smokin hot, awesome & rawkin God.

What are you thankful for?
