What GIANT are you afraid of??

"David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee." 1 Samuel 17:37

David has faith that the LORD will bring him through whatever problem comes his way. The faith of a child slay a giant?? Yes, the faith of a child can slay a giant, DID slay a giant and bring down mountains as big as giants!!
We seem to always let the little things get us down or even what we think is a big. But don't you think it is time to renew our childlike faith. Look giants in the eye, with the LORD on our side, and take them on one by one... YES! I think it is high time!!

I have to admit, my faith has wavered some during these transitions in my families life. We have encountered some struggles during the last few months. Putting our faith further out than we have ever done in our entire walk with God. We felt the unction and knew God was speaking to us. He is about to show us (as He's done so many times before *the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear*) one miracle after another.

GIANT, I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!!

L♥ved with a Steadfast L♥ve


But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love...
Nehemiah 9:17 [ESV]

 STEADFAST: Literally means fixed in place, strong and firm support that will endure strain.

STRAIN?! Did you say strain?? YES! God can and will endure any strain. His love for us caused Him to withstand the humiliation and the pain of that old rugged cross on Calvary hill, I'm sure He is able to endure much of OUR strain.
We are so easily distracted by our 'stressful strain' our 'strains of hurt' or the 'strains of life' that we tend to forget the wonderful God that we serve. Or do we just serve Him when things are good and things are going our way (or so we think it should)? I for one can get caught up in the cares of this life and start looking at all that is around me to the point of feeling 'strained'.
Sometimes we just worry too much and not put enough faith in the God who holds tomorrow. His amazing 'steadfast' love for us has conquered the sting of death and is so willing and so just to forgive us of all our sins and save us from all our 'strains'!

For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? "Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them [daily]. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to to his life?~ Matthew 6:25

Do not worry then, saying, "What will we eat?" or "What will we drink?"' or "What will we wear for clothing?" For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. ~ Matthew 6:31-33

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ~ Matthew 6:34

AMEN AND AMEN!! To God be the glory!! His steadfast love for the weak in body. For the troubled soul. For the broken hearted. For the sting of bitterness. For the lonely. For the battered soul.... God's steadfast LOVE will endure all and everyone of our concerns!
Be encouraged my friend to know that our God, the God of Heaven and Earth will watch over you and He knows and understands all our situations and circumstances!
Thank you, Jesus... *HALLELUJAH* for your grace and mercy! FOR YOUR STEADFAST LOVE!! I know that I am indebted to Him for always! Without His love and forgiveness I would completely be lost and undone. And completely burdened with the overwhelming 'strains' of this life.

A gUrL named Theresa ;)



I know this isnt the greatest picture but the only one I have of her and I :/

It has been over a month since I've written on my blog, well actually one month and 9 days. I have been extremely busy with remodeling my home, trying to open up a home daycare/preschool and focusing on making ends meet; that I have neglected to write about all the wonderful blessings that have come my way. Of all the answered prayers God has so graciously answered and all the open doors God has opened for me...

So why am I here tonight??
Well, I have this friend who came by my Face Book page today and asked for this site address... She informed me that she wanted to follow me... Hmmm .... Yes... Time to get back on the blog and give her something to read about, right?? lol.

So this post is really about Theresa. I met her at Creative Frontiers School, we were co-workers there and became friends. There was something very refreshing about her. Her enthusiasm about life, her job and the devotedness she had for little children. She was phenomenal!! She is young and courageous and will get far in all that she does. She's a hard worker and has a good head on her shoulders. A great asset to any company that may hirer her...

There is one thing about Theresa I wish she had (that I pray she has seen a small glimmer of Him in me)... a deeper relationship with Christ. I'm not writing this out of any disrespect to her and I don't think she would take it that way. I have grown to love Theresa and would love for her to know my Savior as I do... To know the one who has made her to be who she is... What greater abilities He has for her and how far He can take her than what she could ever do on her own... To know His love that she will never experience with her love (Jason)  ;) and a much deeper love than even she has for herself... lol (inside joke)

She's head strong and knows what she wants in life. She is so willing to be there and help in anyway that she can... very dynamic, energetic, enthusiastic and full of life... 'full of beans' (I looked it up!!! that's what it says; 'FULL OF BEANS'!!!!) Hahahahaha!!
Sorry only something she would fully understand... ;P

I write this to say this.. She has re-inspired me to continue my writings... she wants to read what I have to say... so I guess I should share my most intimate thoughts and experiences with my God to her and all that are willing to follow and read. That is what this blog is meant to be...
Isn't that what we are all here for? To follow and read what others have to say about their lives or share their stories...
Well, Here I am ready to share with, not only her but with you as well.

I hope I can be of an encouragement to all who read and follow my blog... I know I'm not the best of writers, but I write from my heart. It's really a hidden passion of some sorts and maybe just maybe someday it will become something greater.  

My heart is full of love because Christ is Love and He has given me another chance to serve Him in such a beautiful and intimate way... I love that He is all that we really need in life because He will meet all our needs and strengthen us through all our life's challenges...

So Theresa here is my first after many days (over a month) of writing. It may have even been longer if you hadn't so enthusiastically ask to follow me...

LvYa♥Gurl and I'm honored to call you my friend =)
