A Most Amazing Thing Happened!

                                                        
 A Most Amazing Thing Happened!

Let me set the stage for what I am about to tell you.
First off you must know.  We have an Extraordinary God. 
He is Beautiful in All His Ways.  He Listens to His Children when they talk to Him.
He answers in His Most Perfect Ways. Our God Hears our prayers and He answers us.  He loves us so very much. 

Many of the regular readers may know…I only write when led by The Holy Spirit and I write from a prayerful and grateful heart. 
Because This is never about me…but All About Him and FOR YOU.
I write honestly and raw as well. A few of my friends, have said, I shouldn’t share some sensitive details of my personal life.
Remember, I told you…I only write what He tells my heart to share…..
 I am a real person, living a real life.  The difference is, it is all a testimony to His Love.

           These last few days, I have been in much prayer about needs and concerns for our household.
 I have been praying with a heart that desired change for a deeper level of a relationship with Him as well. 





I recently started thinking about that precious Sparrow that our Lord talks about in the Bible. 

The scriptures I was drawn to were….

Luke 12: 6 & 7
JESUS SAID....
"Are not two sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Matthew 6:25-43
JESUS SAID...
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heaving Father feeds them. Are you not more value than they?
Which of you by working can add one cubit to his stature?
So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin.
And yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

I looked up Details about The Sparrow on the internet. 
I was led to The Female House Sparrow. 
The Sparrow is very small, about 4 to 6 inches long. They are found throughout the world and there are about 50 different species of Sparrow. 
The House Sparrow is strongly associated with human habitations, and can live in urban or rural settings
The House Sparrow is a very social bird and is closely associated with humans.
Many people appreciate their beautiful song. They build their nests in low places.
They lay about 4 to 6 eggs at a time.
Sparrows can be found anywhere there are humans.
Many people through the world enjoy these delightful birds.

I just thought these were some interesting facts…considering I never knew these things about them before now.
We know that God keeps His eyes on the Sparrow and that they mean a lot to Him.
After all He spoke about them in relation to our trusting in Him, in His Word. 
I see our God with His hand open and a little Sparrow loving resting on his thumb as she is eating from His hand.  God’s provision, love and care for His own beautiful creation.  And so are we.

Oh only for us to trust Him as much as this tiny sparrow.

Now yesterday, I reflected on all this and pondered many things in my heart asking the Holy Spirit to reveal His ways, truth, love and promises to my heart as a personal reality between the shared relationship we have.

I talked to my God off and on throughout the day…being careful to listen as well.
I felt assurance and encouraged. 
I posted these scriptures and a couple of pictures of the Sparrow on the God’s Girl Ministries Page on Facebook, to share with others, to encourage other believers.

I then tuned on worship music and thanked my Lord for His goodness.

Then my husband got home from work.  Forgetting to put the weight of the world outside our house door, before he came in…he was heavy with worry and pressures.

I begin to feel it too.  My throat caught in me, like swallowed tears I couldn’t cry.  My heart squeezed with a knot.  I tried to comfort my husband and make light of things.  Trying to get him to laugh a little at silly things.   That worked for a little bit.
My son made a homemade casserole, we ate and we talked a little about having faith in God.
His mood was better, but his face, had the weary look.

I prayed through out the night for him and for our household.

This morning I felt good. I looked forward to doing good busy things and spending time with my Heavenly Father. 
Before my husband left out the house to go to do his busy things.  His mood was back.  This time it infected me.  He was harsh and talking as if we had no God at all.  It was breaking my heart.  My mind was screaming.  “BUT I KNOW HIM. I KNOW MY GOD. HE IS REAL AND HE ANSWERS PRAYER!”  I wasn’t saying these words out loud.
I just wanted my husband to hurry up and go so I could talk to my God.


I was crying and praying. 

“God please reassure me that you have heard me and You are taking care of us.”

My husband called…he was fussy.  I hung up and cried out to my God.

Suddenly, a strength came from the inside of me…and flooded me from the inside out.

This was Confidence in my God. 

I felt sure God did hear me and He was taking care of everything.

I was taking my stand in my faith. In my God.   

I sat down at the table to finish some sewing.  The sewing machine was loud, but faintly I could hear a chirping outside my sliding glass doors.  The chirping was getting louder and louder.  My cat ran over to take a look and I stopped my sewing and looked as well. 

There was a SPARROW.

She was flying back and forth in front of my sliding glass door, chirping as loud as she could and looking right at me.  Once I set my eyes on her, she rested on the porch right in front on the door. Just sitting there now, making sure I was seeing her. 








Tears welled into my eyes from the overflow of my heart
 and I said out loud.
 “Thank You Lord for The Sparrow.
Thank You for the encouragement. 
I know you heard me and have received my prayers.”

Then Off She Went!  Right after I said that.

I called my husband to set some things straight right away and told him this story.
The rest is between God and him….

By writing this my hope and prayer is that you will know how special you are to God. How much He cares for you.  He wants to take good care of us and show us that He is Everything we need and nothing is impossible with Him. 
Talk to Him. Trust Him. Put your Hope in Him.

May you know Him in away you never thought you could have experienced in all your dreams.  God puts man’s best dreams to rest…Because He is God.  Be captivated by Him and may He overwhelm you as He does me with His Love.

Take One Step To Move Forward

                       
Take One Step To Move Forward







This is a True Story.
It really happened during worship, this Morning  at church
in Harrisonburg VA.
I am forever changed.  Forever.

I am standing just inside the edge of the place not meant for me anymore.
That place is hurt, pain and damage….a place of stones and hard ground.

Not too many new things are growing there. There are patches of green areas of life…but so many spaces between those places and the hard places.
Life does get through though.

Things God wants for me and has planned for me, come alive in those dry spaces…becoming  miracles for different seasons of my life. 
Poking and breaking through the pain and hurt. 

Those miracles, have been watered by my tears and grown through the faith of my prayers to my Heavenly Father.

I have been on a journey.  A journey to The Place He has for me. 

A Land that flows with living water, fresh new things.  Joy and Dancing.  Life and Freedom. 

Today I came to the end of that land I have been traveling.  I can see, what is ahead of me and I want to be there. 
Both my feet are standing together, side by side.  All I have to do is take a step.
One Step. To Move Forward.
Yet I am reserved.  I look back at the life I know. 

But my attention is drawn to look forward.  I hear Him. 
“Kim.   Take One Step.  I will take the rest for you.  I know it is hard.  I know you hurt. 
I know how much strength you have and how much you can and can not carry. 
You are at the place of choice To Move Forward. 
Kim, Take One Step.” 

“Lord, I see You there.  Yet I feel you right here at this land’s edge.” 
“I can’t do this without you.  I don’t want to without you.”

My heart aches inside.  The hurt reminds me of how it has been a very close acquaintance.  That it has been comfortable inside me.  Hurt says, “Look back at what has been done to you.  There has been too much trauma.  Just let me sleep inside you  and you wont feel it, I will cause you to become dull to the pain.”

I look back.  I take a step back. 

“Kim, I Am singing you a love song.  Come to Me My Precious Child.
I have Life for you and more abundantly.
I saw you take that step back.  I know your fear.  I know it hurts. 
But I Am still only asking you to take One Step Forward.  I will do the rest.”
“Leave the past.  Let the dead bury the dead.  I have life for you.
I have new things for you and new ground for your journey toward My Kingdom.
I make all things new.” 

I take that weak, slow Step Forward.  One Step Forward. 

“Okay God, I did it.”  “Help me now, to journey with You in new things, in a new life, in new land.”
I look forward, further than I ever looked back.  I see the light shining in the distance…The light moves and shines all over the land prepared for me.

  The Land in front of me. There are no dark spots, no hard stoned places.


Everywhere The Light touches…Life Happens.  Even the lush green grass is shining. 


The Light is near.  The Light is Running.

The Light Captures Me and collides dramatically and sweetly into my mind, flowing to my heart and filling the core of my spirit in my belly.
I can feel the hard places of hurt, pain, damage, abuse, lies break away and be consumed by The Light.

 

 I lift my hands.  I turn my face to The Son…He Shines Brightly In Me Now.
  I’m Not Going Back. I’m Moving  Ahead.
I am free.                                                                 
Who The Son sets free is free indeed.


Moving Forward

Awesome video! Let's know that we need to keep moving forward and not look back.

 Moving Forward
Chorus:
I’m not going back, I’m moving ahead
I’m here to declare to You, my past is over
In You, old things are made new
Surrendered my life to Christ
I’m moving, moving forward

Verse:
What a moment You have brought me to
Such a freedom I have found in You
You’re the healer who makes all things new
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You have risen with all power in Your hands
You have given me a second chance
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You make all things new
You make all things new
I will follow You forward

A Hug From Jesus

                             A HUG FROM JESUS

This is a true story.  It really happened in my life.
I have wrote about this before…I reflect back on this event from time to time…
when I need a hug from Jesus.
I felt the Lord talk to me heart today about this story and He reminded me how attentive He is in all areas of my life.  He loves His Girls and He wants you to know…that when life is overwhelming and your just exhausted from the stress.  When you are overcome with the emotions that the drama of life floods upon you…He wants you to take a moment, be still and rest in His arms.

Let Him refresh you.  Let Him give you a hug.

Some time ago, when I lived in another area a few hours from where I reside now…I was attending a church there for many years of my Christian walk.  I learned a lot from their Women’s Bible Study there.  I was a young mom and a growing Christian wife.  These women were so helpful in teaching and guiding in those areas of my life. 

One morning I got up to get ready to go to my study group.  I had been having a particularly hard week.  But I was determined to go, so I can learn and grow in The Truth of what God had for my life as a mom and wife. 

I was looking in the mirror at my reflection of applying makeup.  I just suddenly felt this long, deep sigh develop through me from the stresses of my life.  I just stopped a moment, looked into the mirror, trying to see past my reflection to see if I could find the real me through all I was feeling at that moment.

I whispered  to My Lord,
 “God, I could really use a hug from you today.”  “Can I have a hug?”

Well that was that.  I said it and went on with my day forgetting the moment.

I got to the Women’s Bible Study. 
I was late. I have never been late before.  I liked to get there early so I can get my “usual seat” and sit with my “particular group of friends,” in the back of the room.  We liked to chat a little before class started.
(Don’t you know, Jesus knew this about me too, because there is nothing about my life that misses his attention and care)

When I got there that morning, I had no seat.  The Room Was Packed. 
There was barely standing room only. 
I looked at my sweet friends at the back table, where I “usually sit,”  and they whispered, “Sorry,” with a little frown, to show me they cared. 
I shrugged and walked forward to try and find somewhere to sit. 
I saw one seat open, in the very front row…Next to people I didn’t know. 
It surprised me that it was left open, considering women were standing up,  against the walls. 
It was like that seat was meant for only me!
I felt compelled and drawn to sit there. 
Like a magnet pulling me toward that very seat. 

The music started and we all began to worship and sing.
A song came on that I really liked and I began to sing. I closed my eyes and raised my hands to my God.  Just loving on Him from my heart.

I suddenly saw myself……like a movie being played in the theater of my mind.
I saw myself as a little girl about 5 years old with long wispy blonde hair, in a little white dress, barefooted, running in a lushish, deep green field.  Nearby was a Great Oak Tree full of the most beautiful branches and leaves.  No shadows.  There was light all around in an incredible blue sky.  No clouds.

In the distant I could see a man in a white robe with a sash, running toward me with his arms outstretched toward me.  The closer he got, I began to see a smile on his face that assured me and completed a love inside of me. 

I began to run to him.  I knew this man.  I knew he loved me and I loved him too.
We ran and met each other.
He picked me up and hugged me tight…smiling the whole time with a pure and perfect love for me.

I opened my eyes.  I was in the Bible Study group.  But I was being HELD.  Yes, HUGGED.  The woman to my left, had grabbed me and held me and didn’t let go. 
In my mind, in the deep place of truth in my heart…She was being Jesus.
 In my arms, she was Jesus to me.  I got my hug.

She held me for the longest time and I could feel everything I felt as I experienced in the vision of my mind.  It poured into my spirit.

I was overcome by this great act of love. 
I began to weep in this wondrous moment. 

A month or so later.  I went to a Women’s Retreat…with this Bible Study group. 
I saw the woman there.  She was sitting at a table with another lady.
I decided to go introduce myself and tell her what happened, that day…I got a hug from Jesus.

She looked at me and amazement filled her countenance. 
She said to me,  “You know it is the oddest thing.”  “I was standing there worshipping God and all at once, He tells my spirit, “Grab that women next to you and hug her and don’t let go.”  “Now.”
I told her that was at that exact moment, when in my vision Jesus had grabbed me and held me.  I thought you were Him.
Guess what…She Was. 

We are Jesus eyes.  We are His arms.  We are His ears. 
We are His feet.  We are His.

Did you know, whenever you, “Do it to the least of these, you do it unto Him?”

Let us be open and aware to hear Him say to our hearts  and to move our spirits, to love on someone with His love. 
With His comfort.  With His joy.  With His healing touch.

Hug someone today, and don’t let go until You feel better.

Speechless

SPEECHLESS


I am speechless, astonished and amazed in your presence now.
  You have shown us the love that leads us.



My family and I were visiting a church recently one Sunday morning.  
What I witnessed with the eyes of my heart at this precious church,
left my husband and I without words.   
When there are no words, your tears speak louder than what words your mouth can even whisper.
God heard the words that could only form in our hearts that morning, but He captured those words that poured out, in the form of overflowing tears, in His hands.
He held them to His own heart like a most precious thing ever to be given. 
He received it all very personally, to himself, for himself.  

Worship started.  Instantly the anointing fell all through the sanctuary 
and poured onto and throughout each of us within this church. 


 
I could see the colors of their words they were singing, flowing out like a living wave of rainbows toward the people in the church and wrapping the glory of God around us all, working into our hearts and drawing us to the Throne room of God in our worship to Him. 

The words of the worship, never fell down or touched the floor, but stayed within the sanctuary and flowing around His people and the worship team.  


We were so overcome with the presence of The Holy Spirit...that we could barley whisper the words of the songs...but our hearts were loud and clear to God's hearing. 

While there, we saw something even more incredible, more profound then this.

I saw a man walk into a back room behind the worship team and come out with a pile of banners in all colors and sizes. 

He laid them down at the alter in front of the worship team and one by one, I watched God's people come up and take one and begin to wave them to the Lord in worship, to sing and dance with their whole hearts.  But the greatest of this was the children.  Every Child was doing the same.  It was a holy moment.  A time to "take off your shoes, for this is holy ground" moment.

What captivated me even more was...one of the men, knelt down on both knees, lifted his face toward heaven and waved his banner to the glory of God...






but as I was seeing this, I also was seeing a small little boy watching him, he was no more than 1 or nearly 2.  
Just a little fellow.  He walked slowly up beside that man, as he held his small sized banner that fit perfectly in his hand.  He knelt down beside him in the same position, lifted his face toward heaven and waved his banner to his Heavenly Father.

At That Moment, I heard my Lord say to my heart;  
"This child is the greatest in the Kingdom of God.  Forbid them not to come unto me."

I nearly lost all composure I had.  I had to sit down.  I praised my God that He touched me in this beautiful gift of seeing such a thing, with not only my physical eyes, but the deep understanding of the Love our Father has for His own.  The personal Communion He treasures from us with Him.
  
What are we living for?  What are we striving for?  
Oh My Heavenly Father, Make us like this Child.  Cause us to just come to you, simply and sweetly to Your throne  to Love You.  To know, that you are not just God who sits on the Throne, But Oh Father, You desire communion with our lives.  You care about every detail of our hearts and you know everything about us.  We can do nothing to stop You from loving us.  When we come before You, with words that can't even be spoken, our tears and the words that are deep within our hearts, Oh God, You can hear.  
Our worship is for such a Great and Loving God. 

Lord, I hear you!  I hear you say, "I Have Loved You  with a Loving Kindness and an Everlasting Love My  Child.  Come unto me and I will receive You and I, Your Father will never deny you.  I will pour out My spirit in and over you. I renew you.  I will refresh your cup so you may give out to others, the Love I have given to you. "  
Lord I hear you say, "What the enemy steals from you, when You call unto me, I will come to you and give back to you all that was taken.  I want to give you everything you ask for.  
I want to restore your life, heal your heart and bind up your wounds.  I want to raise you up to fly on the wings of eagles.  I will hide you in the shelter of My wings and My breath will blow over you in the sweet strength of a Perfect Love that I have for you, so you may feel me working in your life.  Give Me your heart, give Me the details of your life.  Trust Me, that I have Everything for you.  I have a plan for your life.  To do good, not harm you.  My thoughts of you are good and holy.  My thoughts toward you cannot be counted. They are more than the grains of sands on the seas.  Do not fear, come to Me with the simple faith of a little child.  I will run to you.  I will capture you in my arms of mercy and grace and I will never let you go."

Lyrics

Words fall like drops of rain
My lips are like clouds
I say so many things
Trying to figure you out
But as mercy opens my eyes
My words are stolen away
With this breathtaking view of your grace

And I am speechless I'm astonished and amazed
I am silenced by your wondrous grace
You have saved me
You have raised me from the grave
And I am speechless in your presence now
I'm astounded as I consider how
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless

So what kind of love could this be
That would trade heaven's throne for a cross
And to think you still celebrate
Over finding just one who was lost
And to know you rejoice over us
The God of this whole universe
It's a story that's too great for words

Oh how great is the love
The father has lavished upon us
That we should be called
The sons and the daughters of god

We are speechless so amazed
We stand in awe of your grace
We stand in awe of your mercy
You have saved us
We stand in awe of your love
From the grave
We are speechless

We are speechless in your presence now
We stand in awe of your cross
We're astounded as we consider how
We stand in awe of your power
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless
We are speechless

I am speechless
