2008 NEW BEGINNINGS AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Dear Family and Friends:

God has chosen to show GRACE and MERCY one more day....that day has gone into a new year and we are blessed to be here. One more day to strive for being what God wants us to be. I personally have gone thru heartbreaking trials and have grown from them. They have hurt me and some could have been avoided if other people who caused these trials would have put themselves in REMEMBERANCE of the WORD of GOD and identified the enemy before they gave in to the whisperings of the enemy BUT they did not and so they fell....this effected me greatly BUT GOD...he is still working on healing me and but for my growth to this point in my relationship with him i could be in an entirely different place Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually if it were not for knowing a SOVEREIGN GOD !

Patience and Endurance , Forgiveness and Mercy...have allowed me to keep going and step over the traps of the enemy. This year i am working on binding my SOUL to the HOLY SP IRIT..to the WILL of God , The MIND of God and the EMOTIONS of the Lord...so that my flesh will bow down to the HOLY SPIRIT....and I can go thru to give GOD GLORY AND HONOR even in my t rials...for even in these he is still worthy of my praise. Why ?

BECAUSE he is MY CREATOR ! If he does not do anything else for me other than give me the breath of life each day he is MY CREATOR and that is enough for me !....STILL he has and is my PROVIDER, PROTECTOR, HEALER AND SAVIOR. I am reaching toward him to grow in my relationship with him so that he can be seen in me,,heard in me..even the fragrance of my time with the LORD should be noticeable. I seek POWER in my prayer life if it is his WILL that i receive that GIFT. I have asked but he chooses the gifts he will give us for edification of HIM and i accept his WILL though sometimes it is not easy but you have to know he knows best even then, his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts...we must remember that he knows the future he has for us and we do not...

My husband went on an interview this month for a job that according to the words being spoken by man was pretty much a guarantee according to MAN..but when he returned home a few days later he was informed that the job was not his .....it was given to someone else. Was this devastating ? No. but it was disappointing and somewhat unbelieveable to me BUT he and I both stopped and put the WORD of GOD into rememberance..he is still in control..he knows the needs of all his children. We do not know the needs or prayers of this man and his family. God chose to allow to give this to him so we must continue until he gives us what he has for us..HE had that job for someone else and it was given to them but he has something JUST FOR JASON AND I so we will be patient and endure and keep our spirit of expectancy that GOD will still make a way even when in the spiritual it looks like there is JUST no way.

But we must look with the spiritual because it is spiritual warfare. The Lord has chosen to put us under the microscope of JOB and i want us so much to pass this test and be pleasing to him in doing so . I want us to bring him HONOR and GLORY even in this thing because he gave his all for US....he suffered more than we ever will. He was obedient to the WILL of his FATHER and for that he was given a reward to AWESOME to even imagine..help us Lord to be like you ..put this flesh under the subjection of the HOLY SPIRIT and be obedient so that we will gain the reward you have for US !

TO GOD BE THE GLORY ANYHOW !
