Category: Growth Process

For the past two decades I have been journaling during my quiet time.  Recently I started to feel like I should go back and review those journals and type out the lessons. There are many things that I have learned over the years that are engrained in my life, they have become part of who I am. There are some lessons, that like the parable of the seed, fell on bad ground.  At the time in my life I was not in a place that those seeds could take root.  I need to be reminded of those so that I can continue to grow.
There are some lesson that I am still learning.  Things I know that God continues to show me time and time again, like the children of Israel because I need them to move forward in my journey.   I need to review them so I can move forward.
These journals are not in order.  I will do my best to date them as they happened, even if they are not typed in that order.  I am hopeful that my journey may help others.  Help others to see:

It is okay to start somewhere.
That God meets us right where we are
He speaks to us in a way that we can understand.
Sometimes it comes in waves and other times in a single sentence.

For me, I grew up in church but never learned about a personal relationship with a heavenly Father that loves me.  I could quote the scriptures and tell the stories, but they were just that words and stories.  I had to start with learning lessons in general.  Grand ideas found in the scripture that were applicable to lives in general.  Then I started to learn how to apply them to my own life.  Now I am able to help others learn to apply the lessons to their life.  If nothing else, I hope that it helps you to grow in faith because for the most part, the person who wrote these journals, is a life transformed.  Below you will find writings from these journals.

His Arm

Who has believed what he has heard from us?    And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Isaiah 53:1 God revealed His arm to all creation through Christ. Not everyone believes in Him. The one who hears and believes has had the revelation of heart. I can't fathom the total cost, but I am in awe... Continue Reading →
