Satan had me in his grasp all of but a moment. He had me fooled to believe I wanted something that was bad for me. But now I am reminded that if God be for me, who can be against me? Then Jesus reminded me of His promises, which are always true. At the sound of His name, armies quake and men fall over dead. At the sound of His name the oceans roar and the birds sing. The sun rises and the sun sets all in a day with glory to His Name. At the sound of His name, I can stop and praise His holy Name. He is so beautiful and lovely, worthy and just, righteous and full of terror for His enemies. At Your hand, babies are born and at Your hand, old men die. My confidence is Your faithfulness. Jesus, Oh my Jesus! You are my best friend! Nothing will ever change that. You are the Lion of Judah, and You care for me. You love me as I am, and yet as I become more like You, You love to see the changes...

Sometimes I want to play hide and seek with my boys. Light to dark. Shadows to clear sunny sky. I want to show them how to be themselves and grow into the person they are becoming. And isn’t it true then? That if God be for us who can be against us? I know it’s true! God wants me, Becky Frye, to be free from any bondage and be OK with what I want. He directs my steps and after all it is only He that knows the future. It’s more than OK to get out of my comfort zone and find a new and better version of myself. We are called to wage war against the powers and principalities of this world. We will conquer with God on our side. God is so good to me. He is so good because He always knows the best thing for me right now to choose. I do have free will, of course, but isn’t it great to see how God not only cares for even the smallest detail of our lives? Look at nature!...

What is it about life? The ebb and flow of it astounds me. Sometimes we are happy. Sometimes we are sad. Tears and laughter, hope and sorrow… all rolled into one split ounce of eternity. So what is the secret to living a controlled beautifully composed life? Is it done by reading your Bible more? Is it done by praying more? Perhaps. Is it done by living with and surrounding yourself with family and friends? Maybe… Life is just so simple and wonderful, why waste it getting too complicated or striving for vain things? There is a spirit that is always working against us. His name is Lucifer or the devil, the angel of light. He is only as powerful as we make him out to be. He is mighty, but God is almighty and can squash him like a bug. He has already conquered! Hallelujah! Our God reins. For me lately there has been a lot of times where I forget he exists. It’s SO nice!...

Let the King of my heart Be the mountain where I run The fountain I drink from Oh, He is my song Let the King of my heart Be the shadow where I hide The ransom for my life Oh, He is my song Oh how true the words of this song are! As we enter a brand new year, let us remember the God of our hearts. Let us remember all He has done for us individually and collectively. And isn’t it a wonder how His presence in our lives isn’t not only possible through the miles and span of time but definite? In our relationships let us be gracious, just as He is. In this New Year, let us be ever expectant to new cool beginnings and let us prepare for God to bless the socks off of us individually and our families as well. I don’t want to make this long, but I just have to remind you of all God is doing in my life. He is my sweet sweet song. My knight in shining armor and my one true love....

Oh Lord! Become my obsession. Be my ALL, the Lover of my very soul. Be everything I want. Everything I need. There is nothing I hide from You. You are it. Always protect my heart. BE MINE. You are so uniquely positioned to FIND me. Always and forever, my KING. You always have my best in mind. And still You choose to love me. Not only that but You choose to use me as a part of Your Almighty plan. You want me to love others as You love Yourself. Even with my children You show Yourself merciful. Trying to keep my voice down and act lovingly instead of reacting harshly is the key. When I see my sons, I see You. They are the apple of my eye. My husband is so loving too. I need to be more loving toward them all. This I know to be true. With my children, rearing them in the way they should go. The song of my heart is this: that Jesus would continue to love me all the days of my life and that...

My faith goes on. It goes on and on and on. Like a tired runner or a refreshed athlete… This is my dichotomy. A cool dip in the pool or a fast turn down a windy slide are my favorite parts of today. This Christmas time has left me so refreshed with family and close friends it’s all I can do to sing out loud… Thank you family. Thank you family. Thank you family! You are such great guys and gals. Jesus is my rock and my fortress. In Him I do I put my faith and trust. I know I can always win if I put my life in His hands. I can run with Him, and be still too. Whether I’m washing my hands or laying down sleepless in bed, He is my Rock and Fortress. I cannot believe how good He is to even me. And now here is today’s journal entry. God! How excellent and mighty, true and just are Your ways. You are so beautiful and I love serving You. Take my life and let it...
