Woman To Woman

img_0052

I am a woman who has been abused by men both in my childhood and as an adult. I have come to know God’s forgiveness in my own life so have the grace to extend forgiveness to my offenders. Please note I did not say that I am defending them but as I am daily being conformed to His image I am learning to forgive as He does for all of us who seek Him.

I am writing this mostly to Christian women who have received God’s forgiveness but will not give Donald Trump the same forgiveness for deplorable words said 11 years ago. Please note I did not say defend him.

If you are withholding your forgiveness because of personal hurt from a man please do not avenge your pain at the great expense of the future of the Supreme Court of the USA.

You know how important the woman’s vote is in this election and I am asking you, even if you do not like Trump’s personality, to unselfishly put your emotional response aside for the sake of future generations and the USA and please vote the following issues:

1. Vote for constitutional supreme court judges.

2. Vote on behalf of the millions of babies who are aborted every year. 

3. Vote on behalf of support and respect for Israel.

4. Vote on behalf of our police and military.

5. Vote for our veterans instead of tax payer dollars being spent on illegal immigrants.

6. Vote to have Obama care overturned.

7. Vote for lesser taxes and lesser government in our lives.

8. Vote for a stronger leader against Islamic Terrorism and keep us safe.

9. Vote to protect the Second Amendment.

10.Vote for jobs being brought back to the USA.

By not voting for Trump you are in fact voting for Clinton who will NOT further our above conservative principles but who will continue Obama’s socialistic policies. 

Pastor Rick Scarborough states “I often hear people say rather piously, ‘I will not vote for the lesser of two evils,’ but every vote for a human candidate is exactly that…voting for the lesser of two evils. For the Christian, not voting is not an option. Since Jesus is NOT running, a flawed candidate must be chosen. Our challenge is finding a flawed candidate whom we believe will best represent our values.”

Franklin Graham put it so well “Trump and Clinton scandals might be news for the moment, but who they appoint to the Supreme Court will remake the fabric of our society for our children and our grandchildren, for generations to come.   

This is the most important election of my lifetime. I want the church to wake up. The church has to vote. America needs to hear the voice of God’s people.”

Well, as women, we have a heavy responsibly when we stand in that voting booth in a few weeks. 

Beware! For we will not be voting for a personality, we will be voting for the legacy we will leave our children and grandchildren. We will be voting for the future of the Supreme Court and our religious freedom which will effect this nation for more than four years but rather for generations to come! Once a Supreme Court Judge is chosen they are there for life! In other words our vote will be in concrete.

Which legacy do you want to leave your children?

A court of liberal judges nominated by Hilary Clinton who will take our nation down this slippery slope of socialism, globalism and anti God decisions?

OR

A court of constitutional judges who will protect our religious freedom, like the late Judge Antonin Scalia, nominated by Donald Trump who will rule by interpreting the law rather than making the law from the bench?

Franklin Graham agrees “This election is about the Supreme Court.” 

I feel just as Thomas Jefferson did when he wrote this word 

“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; and that His justice cannot sleep forever.” –

There is a Time and a Season for Everything

IMG_0166Dear Father,

May I never cease to praise You for the works of Your hand, as I look at my garden in the autumn how it manifests not only Your glory but also Your faithfulness in the seasons of the earth.

Oh, Papa, as I place my life, body, soul and spirit in Your hands, the hands of the great Husbandman, may the garden of my life  also bring glory to Your name and display Your faithfulness in the changing seasons of my life.

Everything in my garden has a unique purpose, and therein lies the beauty and the glory for everything in my garden, that it fulfills its unique purpose in Your timing. All so different and yet all so beautiful.

Papa may I also bloom in my uniqueness in Your timing.

Dear Child,

Therein lies the glory that you bloom in your uniqueness, for then you are fulfilling the purpose of your creation.  

Watered from heaven, nourished by the Word, faithfully tend the garden of your life that the cares of this world and weeds of discouragement do not strangle and choke the potential bloom.

This bloom in all its beauty will bring glory to My name and testify of My faithfulness, just as your horticultural garden does.

                                                   Thus saith My Faithful Papa

Revelation 4:11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

 Ephesians 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

CHALLENGE: You may be facing rare seasons that others have not had to face, but these seasons will bring uniqueness to the potential bloom and harvest of your life. So don’t labor or strive to bloom in someone else’s potential, but rather bring glory to His name by resting in His faithfulness as the unique flower He created you to be.

Did You Open the Door Today? 

doorknocking

Revelation 3:20, 22 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Although this verse is often used as an invitation to the world who don’t know Christ, we must take a closer look, for saints, this was an invitation to the church, to those who had already responded to His love. This was written to the church of Laodicea who had grown lukewarm and had become self sufficient and no longer took the time to fellowship with Him.

So I ask again “ Did you open the door today?”
