I know I haven't posted in a while but I have taken much needed time to be alone with my God. Time to just focus on my relationship with HIM. Time to make sure that all is well with my soul. Time to just walk hand in hand with HIM. To talk to HIM and let HIM know just how much I love HIM and need HIM in my life. To let HIM know that HE is my EVERYTHING. Time to make sure that the path that I am taking is the right one. That I am walking in step with my Lord. Time to make sure that I am following after HIS will and not mine.
All of this has not been in vain. God in turn has spoken to my heart. HE has let me know that HE loves me too. Oh, I knew this already but there are times that it is nice to be reassured. It is beautiful when I feel HIS loving arms wrap around me and comfort me and let me know that HE is there right by my side and that HE will never leave me nor forsake me. In the midnight hour I can rest assured that MY GOD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME.
I want to say thank you to my Pastor, Brian Allard for a beautiful message a week ago this past Sunday Morning. I have heard the story of Job many times but the way you presented it that morning, was a way like I had never heard before. It was just what my soul needed. I know my son and Amalia were very touched by it as well. Thank you for being sensitive to the Holy Ghost and letting God use you in such a beautiful way.
Bryce, I love you! That same Sunday, in the evening, you ministered to my soul in song. This path I have been traveling on for the past two months have been a rough one. At times I have been a little fearful of taking the wrong steps. Only because I was afraid that I was leading and not God. But the words you spoke before you sang and then the song that you sang were from God to me. I had just told God that afternoon that I needed an answer. I needed to hear from Him. He used you to speak to me and calm my weary soul. Bryce, do me a favor please. Don't ever get weary in well doing. When it seems as though others are mocking or laughing at what you are saying or doing, rest assured you are in the will of God. That when this is happening, there is someone out there that you are ministering to. The devil knows this and that is why he is trying to discourage you by using others to make you lose focus. Shut them out and keep on doing the will of God in your life because there are those of us who are definitely being blessed by what God is doing through you.
Here is the song that Bryce sang that evening. I just wish I had a way to play it instead of just putting the words down. It may not do that much for you but it did so much for my soul and for that I thank God and Bryce for letting God use him to speak to my soul.
In this life we live
Sometimes the storm clouds gather,
And they hide the sun,
My heart’s as dark as the weather,
But if I can look through the eyes of faith,
I’ll follow where He leads,
I’ve gotta keep trustin in Him
To take me where he wants me to be
I’ll just keep trusting in Him,
When I’m blinded by all the confusion,
I’ll just keep trusting in Him
To see what I cannot see,
Through every choice I make,
The direction I take,
He knows what’s best for me,
I’ve gotta keep trusting in Him
To take me where He wants me to be
I know the wisdom of God,
He can see tomorrow,
And he knows every turn
And curve in the road that I follow,
He knows what it takes
To help me make it through
And He’ll give me what I need
I’ve gotta keep trusting in Him
To take me where He wants me to be
I’ll just keep trusting in Him,
When I’m blinded by all the confusion,
I’ll just keep trusting in Him
To see what I cannot see,
Through every choice I make,
The direction I take,
He knows what’s best for me,
I’ve gotta keep trusting in Him
To take me where He wants me to be
If I have child-like faith,
To trust in the Father’s wisdom,
I know I’ll never fail to walk
The path he’s chosen
I’ll just keep trusting in Him,
When I’m blinded by all the confusion,
I’ll just keep trusting in Him
To see what I cannot see,
Through every choice I make,
The direction I take,
He knows what’s best for me,
I’ve gotta keep trusting in Him
To take me where He wants me to be
Here is the part where God spoke to me:
If I have child-like faith,
To trust in the Father’s wisdom,
I know I’ll never fail to walk
The path he’s chosen
I know now that I am not leading but I am walking hand in hand with God and He is guiding my steps. I have nothing to fear for I have His word to stand upon and "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalms 119:105 And He knows what's best for me.

When everything else fails, He will never leave or forsake us. So glad you had time with Him alone - let's "Keep Holding onto Jesus" as the old song says.
It never ceases to amaze me how God uses my husband and son to speak to us through the Word and song. This past year it seems as though my husband entered a new level in his ministry and he has served gourmet meals to us saints. During this past year, Bryce was encouraged through prophetic ministries of Bro. Arcovio and Dr. Jeffers. I have seen Bryce reach high heights this year, too. I am so thankful to God for using my family and keeping us all.
Thank you for your kind words and believing in me.

Jolene, the words of this song speak to me as well, even though I haven't heard anyone sing them.
One line keeps jumping out at me..."I'll just keep trusting in Him, When I'm blinded by all the confusion." The past few weeks have become increasingly confusing and painful to me. However, the Lord has been there throughout it all...telling me to keep trusting in Him and to keep pressing on.
