GRACE,GRACE.....GOD'S GRACE

The truck pulled up to the stop light at the intersection.
It was then we noticed the words "Grace" written on its side. A dump truck full of grace!.......Wow! When we both saw the truck, and read those words, we thought about God's gift of Grace, which is immeasurable in its giving......
Giving of Himself, as no one had ever done before, for you and for me.
He scooped up a truck load of Grace, and poured it all over us, with His life's blood!

THE DESIRES OF OUR HEART

We are told in scripture, to delight ourselves in the Lord,
and He will give us the desires of our heart.......
Just think how pleased our Heavenly Father will feel,
when His desires become our desires!

HIS LOVINGKINDNESS

How many times have I read the 23rd Psalm,where I was told that the Lord was my Shepherd,and wanted me to lie down in green pastures and that He would lead me to quiet or "still" waters to restore my soul.
It wasn't until, after my brain hemorrage, though, that I truly thought about this, and how God wanted me to rely on Him, so He could "restore" my soul.....
He can't do it, when we are doing things on our own steam! He had to "make me" comply, and I am forever grateful!
He has guided me towards His path of Righteousness, and even though, at times, my gait may be "unbalanced",I wouldn't have this walk, any other way!
My cup runneth over with so much of God's goodness and lovingkindness, that I know He will follow me all the days of my life, just to make sure that I dwell in the house of the Lord forever!

GOD DOESN'T CHANGE

I thought I would be intimidated by the size of our new church, as I sat in our first church service today.....
But a strange thing happened.......
I saw Matt smile as he led the choir in singing our praise to God!
Something they always do!
I heard beautiful sounds from the orchestra.......
Something they always do!
I saw the many friends that sit near me......
Something they always do!
I heard a wonderful message from Pastor Carl....
Something he always does!
It was then, that it dawned on me......
Nothing had changed.....
Because,God's word never changes.
And He is our foundation.
The same God who was in the other building,is the same God we worship in this building. Nothing has changed........
Same God.....
Same choir.....
Same pastor.....
Same message.....
Same friends.......
It's just a little bigger building to spread the message in, that's all!

SINCE 911

Do you realize that I have been writing these journey's for 1500 days, since 9-1-1? That's over 4 years!
God has been so faithful to furnish the material for me to write, and the readers to read it! What a blessing you all have been, and how much I have appreciated your comments.
It's funny how He sometimes "whispers these thoughts" to me, and other times, it's a down right "hit me over the head" experience!
I'm sure He must chuckle over me at times, though, but I know He's glad when I finally "get it"!
He is a glorious God, .........isn't He?
And worthy of our praise!
Thanks for continuing along with me on this journey....
Atleast going on these journeys, aren't as expensive as the cost of gas!

REMEMBER

There is no such thing as an untimely death......
When you're on God's time clock,you're always on time!

WHOLE ARMOR

When I was in Nevada,it seemed as if every TV commercial had an ad for a poker tournament going on, and all the players were wearing sunglasses which I thought was funny!
I was sure that this was to disguise their eye movements, and not give away what they were thinking.
This made me stop and think, though what a master of disguise satan is! He is "The Master Deceiver" afterall......
When we least expect it, he pops up, and he's never like we expect him to appear. Those temptations can come in all kinds of shapes,forms and disguises, but they have one thing incommon.....
They come from a common adversary......The devil himself!
When Christ warned us to put on the "whole armor of God",He wasn't kidding!
He wants us to put on Righteous armor, filled with His protection, and that's fine by me! There aren't any disguises here!
Becky

FEBRUARY 25TH,2007

I wasn't sure what to expect, but by the sheer size of it,I knew I would be intimidated, no matter how hard I tried not to be.
I didn't need to be though......
I finished greeting at the main entrance of the old church building and walked into the new Community Bible Church facility, next door. As soon as I saw Matt's smiling face, and heard the glorious sounds coming from the choir and orchestra, singing God's praise;and.....
As soon as I saw the same people sitting near me, that sat near me in the other building.....even Archie & Dennis!; and........
Even as I heard Pastor Carl's wonderful message ,I knew.
I knew nothing had changed, because God's word doesn't change. The same God who was in the old building, now resides in this new building.
Nothing has changed!
It's just a larger place to do it in......

BE PREPARED

Because He loved us so very much, our loving Father, laid His very own Son down, as a living sacrifice.......for you and for me.
My,my,my.....
Is that love,or what?
To love somebody so much, that You would be willing to give up Your most cherished creation.........Your own flesh and blood,for people,who, half the time, don't seem to care whether You do,or not!
Oh,how that breaks my heart!
Because He loved us so very much,He did this for us...... He knew, beforehand that His Son was going to be a living sacrifice! I didn't know, ahead of time, that I was gonna have to lay my sacrifice upon the alter, at the age of twenty.I wasn't prepared to give up my son, but my Father is a faithful God, and is prepared, because He has gone through everything we have, including the death of someone He dearly loved.
He will provide the strength we need and the direction we need to go.....
Because He loved us so very much........

GREATLY EXAGERATED

This is an unusual journey,today, so try to follow my thoughts closely......


As many of you know,this past Valentine's Day,another dear friend of mine, went home to be with the Lord. I'm okay with it, but here at the beach,I'm having what I would call a "down day", because I'm already missing Bill, and knowing that I won't be able to be at the funeral, for Lynn.
Well, God always comes through for me, and my simple thought process, and today was no exception! It's unusual for me to be weepy. but I was, all afternoon, so after a telephone prayer with Kay,I sat down to watch the old black and white of "The Story Of Mark Twain". Towards the end of the movie, when Samuel Clemmons dies, his daughter is weeping by his bedside. In the movie, the ghost of Samuel Clemens,(aka Mark Twain), walks over to his daughter's side, and gently touches her on her shoulder,and even though she can't see or hear him, he says:
"What you look upon as my death, has been greatly exagerated"!
Well, when I heard those words, my whole countenance changed........ I could almost imagine my friend above, asking God to send these words to me, to ease my heart ache.
I'm pretty sure God had already thought of them anyway, because he knew my eyes would dry up right off the bat..............
And that's what He wanted!
Isn't He creative?
Becky

LOVE IN ACTION

I saw Christ in action today, as close to 300 men,women,and children convened at our new church facility to clean the insides, for its opening day, on February 25th(my birthday!) They were vacuuming;cleaning;installing the chairs;polishing counters and mirrors.....just about anything that still had dust and building debris on it!
When finished, it will house close to 2,000 people, and to me, that's huge!.....
It looked like a beehive of brothers and sisters scurrying around, "spiffin' up" everything in sight! There wasn't any fussing or arguing, or anything like that going on..........just delightful friends who wanted to prepare the Lord's House for praising Him!
There's just something special about this church, that is so comfortable, folks. I guess, it's because the foundation is built on the word of God, and the people who come in these doors, are hungry for the word!
So far, we are holding onto our "1st Love"......and it was quite evident today!
What a treat this was for me today......
Watching Christ's love in action!

HIS MASTERPIECE

My how my God amazes me......all the time!
He comes up with this "stuff" that is so creative;or wierd;or wild!
All to accomplish His purpose.
He may use a talking donkey, or tell a prophet like Hosea, that he is to marry a prostitute named Gomer.......What a sense of humor He has, when He wants things accomplished.
It's funny though, when you say "No" to God, He will hound you until you do what He wants, and then, after you "give in", He tends to show you the reasons "why" He did what He did!......
Almost always after we show Him our obedience and trust!
As soon as Abraham proved his devotion, by being willing to sacrifice his son on the alter, God knew He had His loyalty and obedience, and provided another sacrifice for the offering.
What a fragrant aroma that must have been to our Lord!
Even today, I probably will never understand the "why" of my son dying at so early an age, but that would be an earthly reason, to answer the"why". It is much easier to explain in terms of God's Sovereignty, believe me!
By trusting in God, through this time, I have met other "Mom's Who have Lost Children", and I think that when God put it on my heart for us to get together, and I obeyed this, inspite of the pain, He honored that obedience, and has given me one of the sweetest blessings ever, by knowing these special Mom's.
Only God knew, that perhaps these mom's might just need some encouragement along the way, and hey, I'm great at that!
That's the outline I'm telling you about,folks.....
We don't always see what it is that He has in mind for us, but if we trust in, and obey Him,...... and just cruise along, He'll finish drawing our picture.
I understand He's a pretty good artist too!

THE OUTLINE

Boy howdy,do I remember making those outlines of my hands, in art class, when I was a little girl.I'll bet many of us had red and blue outlines of our handprints on our refrigerators too!
Half the time, though,I never really thought that my hand print looked like my own hand, yet I knew it was, because I had traced it! It just didn't look quite right though.
Just like, when we don't think our outlines of our hands match, how "we" think they should look, we need to remember that the God over all of this, has created the Master Outline of our lives, and if we just place our trust in Him for our lives, whether we can see the sense in it, or not, then pretty soon, that outline will begin to take on His very own Godly picture, just the way He planned it!

TRUST

Grandmother Bouterse made me a little Sunbonnet girl,quilt, when I was a young girl, that I still have. It was made from the scraps of dresses that I wore during different phases of my growing up.
Each one represented a characteristic of me, in my life, as I was growing up.
Joseph's father,Jacob, also made him a quilted coat when he was a young boy. Joseph's quilted coat, was a constant reminder of God's faithfulness to him. It was a reminder of how he could always place his trust in God.....even if he didn't understand !
Especially, if he didn't understand!
When he was left in the pit by his brothers,and he didn't understand.....
He still trusted God!
When he was sold into slavery, he didn't understand.......
He still trusted God!
When he was falsely accused;thrown into prison; he didn't understand.
He still trusted God!
Against all odds, Joseph made the choice to choose to trust God, inspite of what looked like doomed situations!
This speaks mountains to me, folks! God took the piece of this patchwork robe and allowed Joseph to wear it proudly.
He knew how it would all work out in the end, and I love it when He lets us see these things.
Isn't He awesome?
I guess that's what they mean by the old hymn:
"Trust and obey,
for there's no other way..."
.....and there isn't!
Trust God to stitch your very own coat of many colors, complete with your very own, original patches....
Wear it proudly!

ME?......JUST LIKE JESUS

This was an eye opening journey, folks!
Several years ago, my dear friend,Angela was leading our Bible study, in Aiken, on the book,"Just Like Jesus".For one of the chapters, she asked for volunteers for her to wash their feet, to show how Christ humbled Himself, even to the point where He washed the feet of His disciples......
Nobody would volunteer!
We just couldn't do it!
I finally got up enough "umph", and took my shoes and socks off, and allowed her to wash my feet, but, mind you,it was only to "help her out".
Why is it, that we have such a hard time with the characteristic of humility?
Why is it hard for us to have the attitude of a servant?
This was so important to Jesus,that He even humbled Himself, not only to wash the feet of His disciples, but He humbled Himself, even unto death, ..........upon a cross!
In the book of James,He tells us, that "He resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."(James 4:6)
If we truly want to be more like Jesus, it seems that this idea, of being a servant to:
our husbands;our neighbors;our children; our workplace; our enemies......
Why, just about "everybody," is the idea that Christ wanted us to be a servant to all along.......
Don'tcha think?
I don't know about you, but I sorta like my Savior, and I kinda want to be like Him.
If being a servant is part of that, then I'll roll out the carpet & pass the butterbeans!
Becky

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

This month is my birthday month, so I'm kinda partial to February......
It also houses many of my friends who have birthdays this month.
I suppose, though, one of my favorite days, has to be February 14th.......
Valentines Day
I think it is just a special day when you can tell somebody how very much they mean to you. I think my friends are some of the best in the world, and I would do "just" about anything for them. I'd like to think they would for me too.
I say that with tongue in cheek, though, because I'm not sure I would die for them.....

That's what makes our Heavenly Father's Valentine to us, so special.....
He sends a love note from Him to us, every year, reminding us of how much He loved us....and still does.
We just have to remember to open it up; read it, and take it to heart!
Becky

PS* I love you all(and You too,Lord!)

MY QUIVER IS FULL

When I was in high school,I dated someone, whose father loved archery, so naturally I gave the 'ole bow and arrow a try myself!.....Whooee,was it ever hard! I remember, he told us to always prepare our arrows, before we took them out to shoot. We had to sharpen the flint, to better hit the mark!
You know, scripture tells us that man is indeed blessed if his quiver is full, but before his little "quivers" can be released into life on the outside, they need to be prepared, and this should be started at a very early age too, for maximum results.
Then, after they have been prepared, you need to take them and point them in the right direction. This requires good, sound guidance from both parents, right from the get go!
Probably, the hardest part in this, though, is the release portion......
When you let the arrow go, you have alot of outside elements that will distract you,and interfere with your target.
You can only "hope" that you will hit your mark!
When you let your children go, you also have outside forces that will try to distract you, and interfere with your hitting your target....namely satan!
However, you have someone on your side, who has already OVERCOME the world, and satan, so you can hit your mark on this one for sure!
Becky

THE CUP DIDN'T PASS

This just blows my mind........

Can you imagine, having such a close......and I do mean close.......relationship with your Father, that even though you loved each other with everything in you, he could still turn around and pour out his anger and wrath on you for something that you didn't even do?!
Well, this is exactly what Jesus' Father did to Him......
They were sooooo close, and yet, when Jesus knowingly became our "guilt offering" for things that He didn't do, God couldn't even associate with Him anymore......
Until He became Spotlessly clean..... I mean, He couldn't have anything to do with His own Son!.......Wow!
Having lost a son, that blows my mind!
I think this is why, He wants this cup to pass over Him, when He is in the Garden of Gesthemane. This is the cup, that He knows, will sever His sweet relationship with His Heavenly Father above......
My,oh,My.......
It's no wonder why He needed prayer......
It's no wonder why we do too........
Becky

TIME TO COME HOME

When I was a little girl, Mama would call me to come home from playing, or from whatever I was doing. She would call me and say:" You've been gone long enough.It's time to come home!" .........So, I would go home.

You know how you feel after being gone a long time, and you are finally heading home?
Isn't that a wonderful feeling? When I'm at Edisto,I love being there, but it's always nice to come home........
It doesn't matter where I am, or how good a time I'm having, I always yearn for home.....
There's also a desire, that God has placed within us, to be at our Heavenly "home" too. His children desire to come "Home" to be with Him too. I think that this is one of the reasons that I can so excitedly look forward to turning 60, in several weeks. This age gets me just a little closer to coming "Home" to my Lord, and I am looking forward to that with all eagerness!

Maybe if I listen hard enough,I won't hear Mama calling me Home, but boy howdy, when my Lord and Savior calls, "It's time to come home", then.........I'm outta here!
Becky

FIRST LOVE

Happy Valentines Day!

When I find myself getting off track in my eating and my weight starts creeping back upwards, then I go back to the first Diabetic diet,that Darren at the Diabetic center, in Aiken, put me on.It keeps me on track, with a firm & healthy foundation too!
In the same way, God told His people to return to their first love, when they began to get off track, and place everything else before Him. He did this so they wouldn't get off track in their priorities......
Sounds kinda like we could use some of this readjustment in our modern day thinking today too, doesn't it?
It wouldn't hurt any of us, one whit, to go back to our first love, with a deeper passion.....
Loving and putting God first!
Becky

CONTINUE MEETING LIKE THIS........

One of the things the therapist told me to do at night, for my balance, was to put a night light in my bedroom, so I wouldn't stumble, or bump into anything, if I had to get up during the night......
It surely does help too!
I know when it's dark, or becoming oppressive in my thoughts,too, I can turn on the "night light" of God's word and find relief........ The Psalms tell me:
"He will be a refuge for me and will give me the strength to keep me going", and I like that. They tell us too, to pour our hearts out to God and to give Him all our anxieties, when we are overwhelmed.
God will "light" up your mind with His word, and lift your countenance to new heights. This Heavenly "night light" will broaden its glow, so that your entire life will illumine the presence of God and His will in your life......
You will want to worship and serve Him.....
My,oh my yes! Paul told us to continue meeting like this, with fellow believers!
Kind of a neat way to grow, if you ask me!
Becky

I'M IN AWE

Everytime I drive into town, and see one of those big 'ole planes flying overhead,I am in awe over its magnificence, and how anything so big could stay up there!
It is just awesome to watch.....
And to think that man built that thing, and put it together. .........It is mind boggling!
Something else that really blows my mind, though, is that before there were any airplanes overhead, the Creator, of all of this, already knew that we would want to witness something like this in the sky, so He created a scene similar to this, at the beginning of time.
He created these formations called "birds", and even went so far, as to give them different colors and shapes too!
You say, that some airplanes have different shapes and colors too though?
Well, I bet they don't talk, or lay eggs, do they?
I'm just in awe as to what our God will do just to please us......
Becky

IDENTITY THEFT

I love it, when God suddenly puts something on my mind, during the night, and I'm so sure I will remember it, that I don't write it down, only the next morning, I haven't a clue as to what it was!
But then.........
He will have me sitting somewhere and just that one phrase will be spoken, that will remind me of what it was. I just love it when He does this! Today's journey came about this way.......
I've heard so many reports lately on "Identity Theft", that I am reminded that satan will be an Identity Thief, of our allegience to Christ,if we give him just the tiniest bit of room!
We do everything under the sun to protect ourselves from Identity theft, in today's culture, so why not do everything under the "Son", to reinforce our protective armor, by staying in God's word? This will be our biggest protection against a cunning Identity thief......satan himself!

WEAR IT WITH PRIDE

You know, this just blows my mind, when these thoughts are given to me by God....
Whoduh thunkit?
When you are dirty and you take a shower to get all cleaned up, you don't go and put back, on your old,dirty clothes, afterwards, now, do you?....No way!
In the same way,when you are dirty on the inside, filled with all kinds of sin, and you come to know the Lord, you are bathed in His cleansing blood of forgiveness, and you are spotlessly clean!
You wouldn't go back to wearing your old dirty clothing "habits" afterwards, now, would you?...........No way!
You have a new life in Christ........
Wear it with pride!
