Still Here (edited)

I have NOT forgotten about this blog, but I've been focusing lately on my overwhelming busy schedule ~ or more-so letting "the schedule" overtake me so this detail has taken a back seat.

Admittedly, I've also been "stuck" in a period of "desert times" walking with the Lord so I have been focusing on [surviving] that journey as well without much to share of His workings, miracles and hand on my life ~ which is the essence of this blog's purpose to glorify my amazing God. This has been a time of a lot of personal reflection and some rough, necessary ups & downs on my emotional spiritual journey ~ the battlefield of the mind sometimes becomes an all out war! When I "make the time" to come here to reflect openly on the journey of these past few months I will certainly share all the ways my choices have affected my life and how even when I decided to become "too busy for God" the Lord has drowned me in His grace and continued to love me unconditionally even when I didn't deserve it! And most certainly when I pass through this phase in full I will see with clarity how He was with me on the journey and truly His workings, miracles and almighty Hand was on my life all along!

In the meantime, I pray the Lord shows His face to each of you and His grace truly floods your heart sweeping it clean of all the dirt that never needed to settle there!

Edited to add: Shortly after this post I read these words below and they soooo spoke to my heart and where I'm at as I emerge from the desert!

"This is the truth of the gospel: no matter how sordid your life has been, no matter how many sins have been, they are small compared to the grace of Christ. Jesus, the eternal son of God, became a man, and He offered himself on the cross through the eternal Spirit, to become a sacrifice of infinite value for your salvation. He can make you a new person just as easily as He brought the entire universe into existence by speaking."
~Walter Marshall, The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification

AMEN AND THANK GOD!

The Lord truly reminded me of his bottomless depths of drowning glory called GRACE (that I too live in) in the DVD teaching by Louie Giglio titled "Fruitcake and Ice Cream" if EVER you wanted to hear some beautiful words and testimony of God's IMMENSE grace seek this DVD!!

But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up[or in my case how often we'll trip & fall]! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus' life as a model for our own. ~ 1 John 3:2-3 (msg)
