INTO THE PATIENT WAITING...

Here is another book review for all of my blog friends! On a side note, I highly recommend this book for any of you that have little boys and girls that love adventure stories - the firm foundation of the Word this book is written on allows for your child's imagination to soar and allows them to realize how important it is to have a firm faith in God. /// Sir Dalton and The Shadow Heart What an amazing picture of the Kingdom that Chuck Black creates in Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart. Imagery based around the reality of good and evil is the center of this book with the interweaving of faith, hope, conviction and the desire to spread the news of the King and His Prince to all the corners of the earth! The journey Sir Dalton takes is a reminder of how a Christian could begin to doubt their faith in God when they are not seeking Him, but when they go back to the heart of the gospel which is Jesus Christ, every fear can be banished in the Kingdom of Arrethtrae and every truth can be g...

More love to Thee, O Christ, More love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make On bended knee. This is my earnest plea : More love , O Christ, to Thee; More love to Thee, More love to Thee! (Indelible Grace IV C-D - great version of this song) "Seek Me and live"..."Seek the LORD and live"..."Seek good and not evil, that you may live." Amos 5:4,6,14 O LORD, that my soul might follow close behind and hard after You - to give You more love! Psalm 63:8 This is my Earnest Plea.

Circumstances will not change...no matter how hard I wish them away or pray for them to go away. 21 hours of school and everything else in my life just won't go away that easily : ) And yet, in the midst of this - I honestly don't want my "circumstances" to just ~poof~ and go away! I need to learn from them and trust the Lord in the middle of them. Which is why I am asking the Lord to "give me a new idea." I was reading in Streams in the Desert the other day and was thoroughly refreshed by the poem that was shared. It reminded me that "if I see God in everything, He will calm and color everything I see!" My trouble won't easily go away, but He will "surround me with songs of deliverance" (ps. 32:7). Hmmm...one thought was shared that really stuck out to me that I want to "to see Him and to be sure that His widsom and power never fail and His love never changes, to know that even His most distressing dealings with me are for my d...

For some time now I have been contemplating a new blog design that matched my style - and allowed me to put pictures up on a fairly neutral screen...so here it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you think? Any feed back would be great! Is the picture too dark? Do you like the placement of the words on my picture? What about the new background layout? Does it serve the purpose of catching the eye while yet giving the user a clear idea of what my blog is all about? OH! And did you like the verse? This very verse has spoken volumes to me over the past week and my hearts desire is to know The Patient Waiting of looking for His coming, directing my heart into His love and serving Him faithfully until He, my Bridegroom, returns. There is so much I have learned from this simple verse - and I will have to take another blogspot (sometime soon!) to share with you my gleanings from the Word on what it means to patiently wait for Him. A lesson I don't think the Lord will ...

If you're ready for an adventure and aren't able to take time off work to travel to a distant place, then "North! or Be Eaten" by Andrew Peterson is a book that will give you adventure in far-away places without the extra expense : ) The second book in Andrew Peterson's "The Wingfeather Saga" continues from where one left off in the land of Skree and follows the journey of the Jewels of Anniera which are Janner, Tink and Leeli Igiby. The Jewels of Anniera are faced with many decisions on the journey as the enter the Glipwood forest and face a Gargan Rockroach, or fierce Stranders that bite and lick their teeth at their enemies. And one can't forget the Toothy Cows and their yellow eyes that ooze! Fangs are crawling all over the book because Gnag the Nameless will not stop his destruction of Skree until the Jewels of Anniera are captured, but Podo, Nia nad Oskar work hard to protect the children and safely lead them to the Ice Prairies where Fangs are...
