You are FAITHFUL!!!!!!!

-
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS O YAH MY FATHER!!!!!!! That familiar and popular hymn was written by Mr.Thomas Obadiah Chisholm who had to resign after only one year from what he believed to be his life's calling...a minister of the Word. I'm sure that must have been very disappointing to Mr. Chisholm, but he went on to become an insurance agent to earn a living , continued to write poems and lyrics to songs and died at the age of 94 right here in our state of New Jersey.

Little did he know that even though his physical health restricted him to do what he considered his Life's calling and desire, that Yah (God) would use his gift to write a song that has blessed and encouraged millions of people around the world. What Mr; Chisolm may have considered as failure was really success a thousands of times over. You see, it only takes one person to reach many...more than you can comprehend. When we decide to continue to remind ourselves and others of the Faithfulness of Yah (God) even when it seems there is a failure in our lives, He will bless our trust in Him and use us to the be a blessing to many.


Are you experiencing what you may feel is a failure today? Continue to praise Him and be reminded of how He has brought you through so many times before...He changes not, what He did for you then He WILL do for you now. He is Faithful.

 “Great is Thy faithfulness,” O Yah (God) my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

 “Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

 Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!"

Are you Looking or Seeking?

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:13 Seeking…looking…what’s the difference?   According to Dictionary.com, the word “Look” means to turn your eyes towards something or to turn in some direction in order to see [a person, place or thing.]   Dicitonary.com also states that the word “seek” means to go in search or to be in quest for a certain person, place or thing. There are many scriptures in the Bible referring to and using the word “seek” when talking about God, not many about “looking” for God.   This made me begin to ponder the difference.   One example that stands out in my memory is the account about David, a shepherd at the time, and Saul who was made King.   Saul who had all the external attributes to be King was “looking” for that position, but David on the other hand just a young shepherd that spent most of his time out in the fields and hills watching sheep and praising God was “seeking” for God’s will in his life

 " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;    and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4: 6-7 "BAM" is what I loudly heard as my car jolted forward! Sitting at the light waiting on it to turn to green, it was the last thing I expected to happen, never saw it coming. Yet it did...and loudly! The first thing I did was look in my rear view mirror and sure enough, it was not a dream, there was a car right on the back of me. I had about 60 seconds to get myself together, put the car in park, and though my heart was beating about 1,000 beats a minute...I said to myself "ok". To be honest with you, I didn't think to pray a long prayer, because in times like these, you really only have the time and ability to say one word "Jesus"...and for me it was enough.  A calmness came ove

Letter to my Mom...

Dear Ma, Well, another Mother’s day has rolled around; this is the 12 th one without you.   But your passing from this life to eternity seems like yesterday sometimes. I miss you so much.   And it seems that the older I get, the more I understand you…does that make sense? I passed by a mirror the other day and wow I could see you in me so much…your mannerisms and movements! If I am becoming even a fraction of the woman of grace that you are I am so thankful.   I know, I know…during my turbulent teenage years I wanted to be anything but my mother. But now Ma, I am so thankful that you hung on to me during those times. Me with my smart mouth and “always having to say the last word” self; you hung on to me, even when I’m sure I broke your heart a few times.   Thanks Ma…only a Mother’s love can do that. I can think of a lot of things I’m sorry for; like the time I missed your 50th wedding Anniversary; and the time after Dad had passed, I should have had more compassion, instead o
