Now there are times in life through circumstances and situations our view of God can become a blur. Through circumstances and situations in my life although at one time I didn't see God as a judge or the many things I began to feel and think. A few years back in writing God as I reread it He began to show me how wounds affect a person's thinking, feelings, thoughts etc. and how the wounds I had had affected me. As I have expressed in my writing I approached God with a line from a song that ministered to me as a child "although the wrongs seem oft so strong God You are still ruler yet." See for me I was powerless to overcome the pain I had inside and all I told Him was I willing to believe although the wrongs seem oft so strong I was willing to believe He was still ruler and that I was willing to believe it for myself but no longer knew how." He began ever so gently drawing me to songs and writing I had wrote and He began healing areas within me. When I had almost given up on myself He had not nor had Jesus or His Spirit. I just came across this song and there are times in our walk our heart is burdened for another I call it faith of a few close friends where seen or unseen God can touch a heart to pray. I count on Ezekiel 34:11-16 asking that He Himself will fulfill His word if no one else is there. So with having said that I will close. The Road of life. At first, I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was out there sort of like a president I recognized His picture when I saw it but I really didn't know Him. But later on when I met Christ it seemed as though life were rather like a bike ride and I noticed that Christ was in back helping me pedal. I don't know just when it was that He suggested we change places, but life has not been the same since. When I had control, I knew the way. It was rather boring but predictable. It was the shortest distance between two points. But when He took the lead He knew delightful long cuts, up mountains and through rocky places at break neck speeds, it was all I could do to hold on! Even though it looked like madness He said, " Pedal!" I worried and was anxious and asked, "Where are you taking me?" He laughed and didn't answer, and I started to trust. I forgot my boring life and entered into the adventure. And when I'd say "I'm scared" He'd lean back and touch my hand. He gave me gifts that I needed, gifts of love and healing, acceptance and joy for our journey my Lord's and mine. And we were off again. He said "Give the gifts away, they're extra baggage, too much weight." so I did, to the people we met, and I found that in giving sometimes I received and still our burden was light. I did not trust Him, at first, in control of my life. I thought He'd wreck it but He knows bike secrets, knows how to make it bend to take sharp corners. Knows how to jump to clear high rocks, knows how to fly to shorten scary passages. And I am learning to be still and pedal in the strangest places and I am enjoying the view and His cool breeze on my face my greatest companion Jesus and I. And when I am sure I just can't do anymore He just smiles and says...come on I will help you "pedal." Wrote in my journal back in May 1998. I dreamed I had an Interview with GOD. “So, you would like to interview me?” GOD asked. “If you have time,” I said. GOD smiled. “My time is eternity… what questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you the most about humankind?” GOD answered. “That they get bored with childhood, that they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.” “That they lose their health to make money… and then lose their money to restore their health.” “That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.” “That they live as if they would never die, and die as though they had never lived.” GOD’s hand took mine… and we were silent for a while. And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?” GOD replied, “To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.” “To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.” “To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.” “To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.” “To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.” “To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings.” “To learn that two people can look at the same thing, and see it differently.” “To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” “Thank you for your time,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like your children to know?” GOD smiled, and said… “Just know that I am here.” “Always.” Sent from my iPod

This is probably my favorite song from this beautiful lady with the terrific voice. I love the way she holds out her notes, and her singing in general is great. She will stay in the Lord's protection.

Mama you are up home with the Lord. Amen and praise the Lord! He never gave up on you and neither will I. I love you and miss you and I am so happy you are finally at peace. No more failure, just love and he is there to lift up and hold you close. When I feel like turning back I will turn to him instead. Goodnight my angel
