I have not ever blogged before... A coworker encouraged me to try it out, so here it goes...

It has been a tough 4 weeks @ work, due to some very unfortuate things that have taken place... My faith has really been tested...

I have really been seeking God thru it all... The first thing God layed on my heart was,

"for such a time as this" Esther 4:14...

A few days later I was reading the book of James, and God showed me

James 1:2-3 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance...

The song that He placed on my heart was,

"Hold On, by 33 Miles"

I've been there a thousand times
Felt the rain like a thousand knives and it hurts
I know it hurts
I've been there like a fighter plane
Trying to fly my way through a hurricane and it's hard
I know its hard
Don't be afraid
You'll make it through
Just call out out to me and I'll come running to you


Hold on
Hold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
And hold on
Hold on
Until the storm is over
And I'll be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on


I'll give you hope
I'll give you faith
And if it's dark I'll light the way for you
For you
By your side until the end
Until you're standing tall again
I'm here
I'll always be here
And if the tide sweeps you out to sea
When your strength is gone
And it's hard to believe

Last night - I was working on the new Bible study that we are going to begin in a few weeks (Ladies Tuesday Night Bible Study), and the first Scripture of the study was James 1:2-3... It was a awesome God moment, as He reminded me once again, to "consider it pure joy..." I meditated on that Scripture all night... and at times thruout the day...

God gave me another Scripture today,

Luke 11:9 "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

It is really cool when I slow down and pay attention to what God is saying to me...

God has been giving me different words daily, sometimes the word is the same for a few days... The word for today was, "Wisdom"...

So, here it is - my 1st blog... (my thoughts)...
