I've gone through many trials and tribulations. I've endured sufferings and much pain. I've forgiven acts of cruelty and evil. I've lived through unspeakables and I have not mastered any of it, but I do know my Master, and He is the reason that I am who I am today! I praise Him and I thank Him!.
He prayed when I couldn't speak.
He cried when I had no tears left.
He held me when I felt paralyzed.
As I slept He watched over me.
When I was awake He walked with me.
Even though I don't always see Him and even though I don't always 'feel' Him---He is here.
I made a choice! I choose to believe! I believe Him!
His love never fails.
He is sovereign.
His word endures forever.
He has a purpose and plans just for me. I choose to believe!
He will never leave me nor forsake me. I choose to believe!
He loves me unconditionally. I choose to believe!
He died for me. I choose to believe!
I choose to believe He did the same for you.
I pray you choose to believe Him too!

A New Thing!!
As I said in my last blog I believe there is another part of what God is doing.
I truly believe God is longing to be known again on this earth--in a new way doing a new thing!! I'm not entirely sure what this means. In my personal quiet time I believe the Lord telling me that He is preparing people for signs, wonders , and miracles. I've already seen this happening!! It's truly amazing how God loves us and He is ready to show us!!
As I 've said many, many times in the past couple of years God has been working the junk out of his people. Anything that is not of God--- is junk!! Take a look back over the years and see if this true for you. It definitely has been for me. I'm not so special as to think that I am the only person God is preparing to use!!
2nd Timothy 2:21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the maker of the house, ready for every good work.
We are the vessel Proverbs 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel....
Isiah 42:5-9
5Thus says God, the LORD,
who created the heavens(A) and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
(B) who gives breath to the people on it
and spirit to those who walk in it:
6"I am the LORD;(C) I have called you in righteousness;
I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you(D) as a covenant for the people,
(E) a light for the nations,
7(F) to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
(G) from the prison those who sit in darkness.
8I am the LORD; that is my name;
(H) my glory I give to no other,
nor my praise to carved idols.
9Behold, the former things have come to pass,
(I) and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
I tell you of them."
I believe He is ready to pour new wine into new wineskins!
Matthew 9:16-17

Matthew 9:16-17
16No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. 17Neither is new wine put into old(A) wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."
Amen!! Don"t know about you but I absolutely want to be a vessel that God will use. Come Lord Jesus make me into a new wine skin and pour yourself in me!!! Use me to grow your kingdom! Make me more like you!! Use me to proclaim, heal, and deliver!! God is good--always! He is faithful--always!
Are you ready for A New Thing? Much love to ya RR
