Yes Ladies....
God always shows Himself when we least expect "mighty is our God" is right! Okay here's another angel...mike went to Krogar and went to self serve. He never does that. Opened a brand new bag for his items and inside was $120! He has shown me every blessing this week..I don't deserve it but He loves me so much that sometimes its hard to believe the Love He gives us. All Jesus wants is for us to love Him back..it isn't hard is it. He gives us what we need and then when we show obedience He gives us our hearts desires. Praise God! I love you all! Merry Christmas and may the Lord give us all a new year filled with hope and love for each other and of course the Son Himself, Jesus Christ...

GOD IS SO GOOD!!
RIGHT NOW I AM SO BLESSED!! I had a call last week,well Sunday night. An angel and I do mean an angel..called me and said,"The Lord told my family and I to help a needy family this Christmas season..we found your name through another person...I want to take you out and help you shop for your family, whether it is groceries or gifts" Praise God!! is all I could say. So we hooked up last night and had dinner and a great time to say the least. Now heres the best thing, this wonderful family sold their home and used their money from the sale as a tithe towards the needy! She was obediant, listened to the Lord's still small voice and now she is blessing others!
She not only took me shopping but now my girls can have a birthday as well as a great Christmas Day!! God is so good. My daily journal today was all about making Him first priority instead of making everything else our first priority. We wonder why we seem distant when we don't make Him first. All I can say is Jesus is on my task for being first, not shopping, not my art, not my job...Jesus is my Love, and I hope during this season He is yours too.
By the way we just didn't get a few gifts we got everything that we wanted and more..He is so good!!

Obstacles..always seem to pop around Christmas!?
Yes obstacles seem to come in so many ways, and doesn't it seem like they are only more intense around the Holidays? Yet...Satan has been defeated at the cross and I am living proof of the Lord miraculous grace and mercy! I and all of us have come short of the glory of God, yet His grace is free and I wish for this season that people would just give their hearts over to the Lord for that FREE Grace!
Satan in the last couple of weeks has tried over and over to put lies in my head, so many that I started to believe them..for less than a split second! Now instead of giving Satan any time or space in my head, I tell Jesus that I am taking every thought captive and through words of wisdom from my Father, I said, out loud to the enemy: "Satan you are not going to steal my joy, so stop harassing me and Mike"
God you are so good, thank you for sending your Son to this world that we celebrate at this time. Thank you for cleansing me of the gargage in my life! Thank you for the miracle that I had yesterday (a fabulous story for next time!), you heard my prayer and instantly you answered me. Father you can do anything and it is just our trust that makes us obediant towards You.
The Lord said to me: "Make me the focal point of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and it feels safe. Its an impossible goal and counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your world feels unsteady grip my hand, you'll live in conscious dependence on Me!
AMEN!

Was your Thanksgiving really thankful?!
Again..forgive me for not being deligent on this blog. I feel like I have been just surviving week to week. Yet, that is what the enemy wants me to feel and again I am taking each word captive..Praise God!
I have another Blog also so that I can try and sell my art work. It is donnasfineart.blogspot.com ....I haven't finished it, I actually just started it, but I want to try and put as much as I can on it. It is so hard when you don't have the resources to sell your items, it is really word of mouth and God willing you who read this are my word of mouth.
So how are all of you precious ladies? Was everyone thankful for what God gave us this year? I remember praying with my family that day and I was determined not to be miserable and to be thankful and to remember that every single thing that we have is from the Lord...you all know my husband and how he feels he has been "robbed" of his health and living...well he did find things to be thankful for but it was hard. God is so good and we just don't look at it that way enough times. I am always saying that I know I am at my job for a reason and I know the blessing is right around the corner. The Lord has led me to write every day in my journal for things that only He knows that is happening with my life...I write and then, only through the Lord, I open the Bible and WOW he proclaims His grace and mercy through the word...everything I write about is revealed through the scriptures, it is totally amazing. Yet I shouldn't be because when I was going through a divorce the Lord revealed Himself each day the very same way and I could not have gone through what I did without the word or Him..He is my Father, Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace and King of Kings....
I do have to reveal to you what He gave me tonight. Psalm 37:1-8....trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the Land and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall GIVE YOU the Desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass....rest in the Lord and wait paitently for Him. DO NOT FRET because of him who prospers in his way...cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret-it onlu causes harm!......Amen!
This is my life, always jealous of this thing or that one. Even though I tell my husband its wrong to be angry because others have what we don't ..I secretly harbor the same thing! I need to constantly remind myself to trust, committ my ways, rest in Him, be patient for His answer, and dwell in His land and feed and believe...FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS!! That is my desire...I really believe the Lord revealed that I need His peace to accomplish the purpose that He has for my life. I have tried shortcuts and when I've done that I notice the Lord leaves me at that point to figure it out on my own and to notice that without His peace we can't move on. I need to focus, stay in peace and dwell in His land. Then my needs will be met because the Lord is then in charge and I am walking with Him hand in hand! I know He never ever leaves us, I just believe He says, "Go ahead figure it out..but if you wait for me I will give you far better blessings than you can ever imagine"
Well I don't know if you have ever thought like that or if you're going through what I often go through...wherever you are today, rest in His peace, thank Him for waking you this morning, and then you will feel like you are truly His daughter...
I love you all
