Tabula Rasa and MARANATHA

Ok so that was probably not the correct way to spell, but Latin is not my strength, GOD is! First, my confession(s) I have been lazy and not blogging. I also have been reveling in self loathing and pity, sadness and ugghh lack of identity. My quiet time had been not so quiet and not a lot of time either. Now that is over, I am forgiven, redeemed and my fire has been rekindled! {PRAISE GOD}
We have options here, but the plainest most motivating thing for me is that we can,no matter how close or far we have travelled from God, have a CLEAN SLATE===that is what tabula rasa means! I have regrouped, rededicated and realized it is never never of my own strength I rise, it is a gift of the LORD. I dug out my journal from last year and read my letter from God. Scriptures HE poured over me in April, what an amazing blessing! His promises do not lack for anything! He has promised to make me a tester of metals and asked that I SPEAK OUT!
I have set up a quiet space, with my journal, my Sword and several other items with a dedicated area, and a door that closes my closet *** quiet time with God is rekindled, this morning was wonderful! I am reminded that what gifts the Lord gives NO ONE can snatch away! So I plan to start a Bible study in the beautiful home God has provided me with, to strengthen my kiddos(which are God's gr in the Lord through scripture memorization and family study and to continue to edify my husband in obedience to him and encouraging Him to keep pressing forward! I will pray for my family, friends and strangers, I will be obedient in my call and loving with out demanding my way!
I have joined in a ministry with my dear sweet friend Tina, www.truelightjesus.com and still serve the homeless in Waco, I have moved to a small town called Whitney, and will be taking part in a Bible study of Beth Moore's called "Breaking Free" and I can not wait to meet other believers here. I also have committed to learn 24 scriptures this year through Beth's LPM blog http://livingproofministries.blogspot.com/
I will walk in the gifts of knowledge and evangelism this year and rely not on my own understanding but TRUST in El Shaddi-- my strength, my provision and my love!
You know GOD is moving, He is supernatural and we as His children are also supernatural! Given by grace gifts we could never afford! BUT we cannot forget that HE IS COMING BACK ! That's a promise, and I will be signing off with this for 2009...

Maranatha

Paul used this term in 1 Corinthians (16:22).. and the translation is OUR LORD COMETH, He is returning!
