Welcome

Welcome to my blog!
I hope that what you read here will give you encouragement, and enlightenment as you journey through your path of life.
About 2 years ago I went through some major changes in my life. Let me correct that, everything changed in my life but my address. Change has never been easy for me, but these changes though very hard and heart breaking, have caused me to grow in areas that I never thought I would grow, and in areas that I didn't know I needed growth.
I had had a dream about a tornado, but the way that I like to describe it was "whirlwind." It's funny how one change of a word can change the way you see things (even in your mind). Anyway, that dream really was a prophetic dream to what was about to happen in my life. What needed to be devasted beyond rebuilt was accomplished. Where I needed to have more faith in God instead of "things, or people" was the main point.
I have for the last 19 years spent every morning with my cup of coffee and my Bible, reading and studying the Word of God. I have also read many wonderful books and authors that have impacted my life and opened my eyes to many truths. But 2 years ago, God lead me on a journey to study (disect) Psalms 23. I know that this passage is usually read at funerals...but it is so much for the dearly surviving here on earth. The truths and promises of these scriptures are so needed and vital for the ones that are walking this earth daily, with all the hustle, bustle, abuse, darkness, violence, racism, hypocisy, evil, hardship, heartache of this world.
This blog I have created is to share some truths I believe can give you a "hope" a pep in your step, hopefully an awareness that God, the Creator of this earth, NEVER wanted it to be what it has become, He wanted us to live in a garden, to talk with us and walk with us "in the cool of the day."
God isn't out to punish us, or to condemn us. He says Himself in John 3:16 & 17, because of of His love for us, He sent His Son to die for our sins, not to condemn us but to save us...from ourselves.

So today will be the beginning of my sharing with you the journey of Psalms 23.
The Lord is my Shepherd....the Psalms says, but I just found a wonderful verse 1 Peter 2:25

"Once you were wandering like lost sheep. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls."

My soul is my mind, my will, and my emotions. That Jesus is now the Shepherd and the guardian of my mind, my will and my emotions. My mind that can think so many thoughts, of unacceptance, and fear. My will that can be changed by my feelings or cravings. My emotions, that can have me react in ways that are so unbecoming, or unreasonable at times. Jesus, can keep me balanced in my mind, in my will and in my emotions. If I will allow Him.

So today, I just say - "Your will be done my Shepherd on earth as it is in heaven."

Be blessed today my friends, and know that you don't walk alone, no matter what your path looks or feels like...Your Shepherd walks beside you - reach out and hold His hand!
