Lately I’m running a marathon. All along the way there are warning signs and helpful hints at how to live a better life with no roadblocks. Sometimes I want to stuff my ears with cotton and throw out my arms and let Him guide me. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and those roadblocks keep me from slipping and falling flat on my face. Life is all about rhythm and blues, sometimes it’s great and I want to yell from the mountaintop. Other times I find myself crying through the pouring rain. Sometimes I want to sing and whistle contentedly as I mosey down the lane. Other times my tear drops fall through the cracks of the gutter and there is no one to mop up my tears. Friends are nice, but family is best to share real life issues and joys, triumphs, and sorrows and problems. Jesus is IT, my All-Consuming Fire and He deserves all my love, triumphs and shortcomings-He is my...

Lord!  What would I do without You? I would crumble and die without You. You are my Everything. I love you endlessly and You love me even more! My small mind can’t contain even the idea of Your great love for me. You are so perfect and lovely. I love you SO SO so much. Please help me love You more. I offer my body as a living sacrifice to You. I love you! Love, Becky This was the prayer I wrote in my journal this morning after I had my quiet time. I love loving my Savior and looking for ways to love Him more all the time. I like to sing to Him and just talk to Him. In this way I can thwart the arrows of the evil one, Satan. He is constantly looking for ways to distract me from my main purpose-to serve the Almighty King Jesus. He is the Author, Protector of my soul. His very name-Jesus- means life and love and faith. It’s so easy with our crazy world that is continually...

Sometimes I just want to run with it. Just forget it all and go with it. I have twins that are almost 5 and we have sometimes what can be classified as a fast paced lifestyle. But sometimes it slows down. I make it slow down like turning off a faucet from hot to cold to hot. After a bit I get used to yanking that water faucet so my hands don’t get burned. Why do I like to run with it? I enjoy differing temperature controls so to speak. Hot, Cold, Fast, Slow… I have to be like that in order to enjoy my life. The Lord knows my life is like that. He helps me have discretion when determining how to govern my life. So today at the park it was refreshing to see so many people mixing and playing together, regardless of skin color, gender or race. It’s so cool to see when there is no bias and the possibilities for fun are endless. People were interacting, all kinds: men,...

Today I wanted to start with a prayer I wrote just now from my journal. Lord, How do I contain my love for You? I want to shout it from the heavens! Great are You, Lord! You are so worthy. So holy. I just cannot get enough of You. You are my all-time favorite! Song of Songs speaks of Your beauty and majesty. You fashion the skies each morning. It’s as if you made them just for me. Love you so much, God! I can never get enough of Your love for me. You rock, God. Keep doing a great work in me.  Yours, Becky God is just so amazing I can hardly stand it. His love goes on and on and on. It never stops pursuing. Never gives up. We know that His love never ends. And yet how often do I forget this? How easily, as if being backed into a corner, do I think of giving up? This is wrong thinking. If Christ died for me, how much more shall I live for Him? God is my constant companion, my best...

Yesterday God gave me a glimpse of heaven. I got a few glimpses. Although it’s hard to explain, it was very wonderful. It was like I could feel or experience more than one thought at a time and still be on a specific thought. It’s like what Paul said about it being too wonderful to convey to his readers. Suffice it to say, it was wonderful. This is a prayer from my journal. Wow God! You have brought me so far this year. You are so good to me. You are my favorite! Thanks for everything You do. I’m thrilled I get to serve You. My Abba Daddy I love You so very much and I always will. You keep my heart safe. I love You, God. I know Your promises are always safe, so I know I can trust in You. Yours, Becky One of my favorite things about Jesus is how He helps me along my way. He helps keep my heart safe! He molds and fashions me one step at a time for His good pleasure. I...
