I Welcome Your Thoughts...




What does it mean to truly trust God? Is it the absence of all doubt? Is it to be completely void of all fear?

And how does one get to that place????????

"How does one get to that place?". One day at a time. But, the journey grows sweeter every day.

To me, truly trusting Him means: calmness & chaos all at once. Let me explain. Several times when the Holy Ghost speaks to me I have ignored Him. I haven't trusted Him...my way is better...or so I think at that time.

To trust Him means I must become completely vulernable to the unknown; to let go of the reigns and let Him lead me where He wants me to go and do. To know that it won't be easy, I won't have the answers, but I will have the BEST guide ever...if I only heed to Him first.

Once I overcome the chaos of emotions that "letting go" brings (especially when His promptings tell me the opposite of my selfish mind); it is only then can I feel the completely calmness that ONLY He can bring.

That's just my two pennies.

Truly trusting God means surrendering your will to his. It means devouring his word and believing in his promises. Doubt and fear come to us by the enemy of our souls, the devil. The best example of trusting God is found in the Book Of Job. And ask the Lord to give you faith and he will!

For me truly trusting god is just to choose the easiest way to live. It doesn't mean it's bad. I really admire people who can believe whithout knowing. It must be nice.

Trust him because he loves us and nothing can separate us the the love of God.

I trust because He is the only one you can trust. He is the only steadfast one in the universe...
His love never fails, and whenever something goes wrong, life has always taken a different road, which in the end was a blessing..
how could I not trust Him?

Let Me Tell You About Another Man

Several years ago, I wrote a post to honor my dad Vernon.  I shared the story of his time in Korea. I did my best to share his heroism with my readers.  I wanted the world to know what an amazing man the simple farmer from Kansas truly was.  I wanted to honor my hero. This past week, I lost my "other" dad.  My father-in-law, Keith, passed from this life to the next.  It has been a difficult time, to say the least.  Let me introduce the man who became Dad Johnson to me almost 36 years ago. I briefly met my husband's family on our college campus.  Little did I know that two years later, I would again be introduced to them, but this time as their son's girl friend.  Keith (my husband) and I were traveling to Michigan to begin our summer internships.  His family graciously met us in Terre Haute, as we had left Springfield, MO, in the wee hours of the morning.  From the moment we made acquaintance, I was wrapped in their love and joy.  T...

Journey Struggles

Over the past few weeks, I have been reading a forum which deals with issues in the church with which we were formerly affiliated. I won't go into detail. What I will say though, is that there are a lot of hurting people out there who need your prayers. What does this have to do with me personally? A lot of those people are my friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ. There is this "thing" inside me that can't stand it when those I care about are mistreated, lied to, or in some other way wronged. It's that part of me that wants vengeance . Wow. Did I use that word? But it's true. I want the erring party to repent, yes. But I also want to see them do some groveling and major "making of things right". And that thing inside me is like a mother bear protecting her young: you hurt someone I love, and I will attack! Shocking, isn't it? Most people who know me think I'm this gentle, meek person. I've been accused of being a "goody two s...

The journey began as a child, in my heart desiring to "know Jesus"...it continued as I sought to know Him more, to live for Him...it went along as I followed His call on my life...as I married, and had kids...as we ministered in various ways and places... Today, our journey is leading us to a place I never thought it would take, and the path is a bit scary. (Okay, a LOT scary, at times!) These are just the thoughts of a sojourner. You're welcome to come along.
