Letters to God - C
Dear Abba Father,
CARING for me the way you do, I grin from ear to ear, when you show me that you know my heart as well as my thoughts. (around my house these moments are known as God Winks) - The knowing it was You! ;)
CHAIN-BREAKER of my pride, my habits - perfecter of my life...sometimes you blatantly break off the chains, deliver and set me free. Sometimes you say "my Grace is sufficient, for my power is made perfect in your weakness." 2 Cor. 12:9 It is in these times I am called to continue to walk like Christ with my human imperfections and let your power give me the strength and the will to do so.
You are the CHRIST, the Son of the living God! You are alive and active in me. Imagine..You, living inside of me! Lord help me to live like I believe it!
You are my COMFORTER when my day has gone all wrong, when I am sad, grieving or all alone.
You are the CONQUEROR of every wrong thought I think - You set this captive free every time I align my thoughts with yours.
You are my CONFIDANT when I need to speak and release the things I have to endure. You encourage and confide in me saying- take my hand and we'll walk through this time together.
The CORNER STONE of my life, the foundation of my beliefs..Unmovable, Unshakable...Steady and Sure.
You are my COUNSELOR and our talks keep my mind sound. When I get off track, you tell me so - I usually argue my point, sulk, stew or pout - sometimes we even wrestle it out.....then, I humbly take your advice because you are always right! When I doubt myself, my motives or actions..You let me know when I have kept your way..or lost mine. You patiently wait for me to change, because you never do.
But you Lord, are COMPASSIONATE and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. How good that is to know!
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the Everlasting God, the CREATOR of the ends of the earth, He will not grow tired or weary and his understanding no one can fathom. Isa. 40:28
Thank you Lord for never growing tired or weary and caring enough to put all of your promises down in writing!

Letters to God - B
Dear Abba Father,
Lord, as I mediate on you - I see how BEAUTIFUL you are. Beautiful in your thoughts towards me. Beautifully loving me through every moment of every day. My eyes behold the beauty surrounding me - grandchildren laughing and playing, my children growing, maturing and learning more about you. Beautiful Lilies and Gerber daisies, brilliant in color, a gift from the one I love. Everywhere my eyes gaze, I can choose to see beauty - when I purposefully look for it.
You were there in the very BEGINNING; you are the beginning and the end. You created everything beautiful right from the start. The mountains and valleys, the moon and the stars, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. All of nature shouts of your beautiful handiwork.
Lord, you are the ultimate BESTOWER, making my treasure chest full and flowing over with BLESSINGS from your hand.
To think about you, thinking about me, when you are in charge of the whole Universe and everything in it; my mind can not comprehend the magnitude of a BIG God, bending down in concern for little me. I remember the day when:
Calamity struck - my world turned upside down - sudden darkness engulfed me
my day turned black as night. I felt...
helpless
lost
lonely
broken
and confused... not knowing what to do.
I cried out to you in my anguish, and you - the GOD of the Universe, reached down into my little world to comfort me and to let me know you were there. You changed everything, one moment at a time.
You breathed the BREATH of life back into this worn out and weary soul.
You were the very BRIDGE I crossed over, from death back to life. I chose to believe! You are the Son that God sent to redeem us from our sin. I chose to repent and turn around. I am forever thankful!
You have been forever faithful!
That day, I chose to set my heart and mind on you. I chose to believe what you have to say and to believe who you are. I chose to stay the course...no matter what. I chose to make you my BOUNDARY LINE. You have been the BEST decision of my life. Every day when I awake, I choose you again.
You are BOUNTIFUL in all your loving ways.
Jesus, I'm so glad I gazed upon you today!

Letters to God - A
Dear ABBA Father,
I picked up your WORD today and read that you are ABLE to do anything and that nothing is too hard for you! Your love and faithfulness ABOUNDS more and more as I seek you and I come to know who you are - The LORD, my GREAT LORD - my ADONAI!
As my ADVOCATE you stand by my side defending me. You fight for me, you protect me, you make a way where there seems to be no way. You are ALIVE and teaching me all things and reminding me of all of your promises...YOU are my ALL in ALL.
Lord ALMIGHTY, as I put you first in my life, you show me you are the ALPHA and Omega, the beginning and the end - So AMAZING to me is how you are still the same and you never change - that is my security. When I come to you thirsty, you fill me with living water from the spring of the water of life.
You never let me go - like an ANCHOR on a ship you keep me steady when the waves of life want to toss me about. When I am pulled by the current, you let me know that I am never out of your reach, and you pull me back. My hope is in You, firm and secure.
You talk to me through your WORD. I hold tightly to a verse and You and I walk through it together. You show me wonder upon wonder, things so ASTOUNDING I cannot express in words. (like the time you sang over us on the side of a mountain in Siloam Springs, and the day the Angel was in the Emergency room, the time you provided more than enough for all our bills when the budget clearly showed I was WAY short, and the time you healed my daughters shoulder, and saved my other daughter from drowning, you healed my son's brain tumor, and saved my life and his at his birth.) and so many more ..like the sand on the seashore. That you would count me worthy to experience what I have seen and heard. That you fill me with power and strength by your AWESOME hand. Lord, my GREAT LORD...I stand in AWE! Praise be to God!

All I am - Then Sings My Soul
There are so many times in my work day I need to remind myself that All I am and all I do belong to Jesus alone.
This week was no exception..had I not stayed in the WORD, I'm not sure I'd be going back. Had Jesus not kept pulling me back to HIM, and shouting His truth...I'd have believed this isn't where I belong. (And this was only Tuesday!)
A new opportunity arose, and I thought I would GO FOR IT - but by Wednesday morning it had totally disappeared.
Back to the WORD.
Thursday...found me in tears first thing...OMG I need YOU!!! And HE was right there..encouraging me through a coworker. Then another He put in my path, needed the very encouragement I had earlier received. Before I knew it...by encouraging someone else. My belief was increased!
All I am is yours...I give you every thing...He has the perfect plan, and He'll take my empty hands and my stumbling feet and use them - to bring about His perfect plan, and it is beautiful.
Friday 1/13/2012 - The WORD He gave me first thing in the morning was this.
And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.
~ Titus 2:7, NLT
