Long time no write!!

Life has been a busy thing lately,
A good busy; but busy non the less.
In Isaiah when God is discussing fasting, he mentions the type of fast he requires of us.  and one of the things that is a part of the required fast is that we "hide not our flesh from ourselves"
WOW!!!!
If you really want to take a good long, hard look at your self, and really see what other people see when they look at you, a really good Holy Spirit lead fast is just the ticket.
I have noticed that the more time I spend in God's presence during my time of fasting the more I get to see me, with out the pretty coat of deception I have woven so skillfully around me so as to not have to see ALL the spots, wrinkles and blemishes.
I must say that when it is stripped away the picture takes a completely different view, and if it weren't for the Gentle grace and compassion my Abba uses in showing me this not so lovely view of me I'd pack my bags and move to another planet.
But His Grace!!!!!!!
Three of the sweetest words I know!!!!
I now begin to understand what Paul meant when he wrote, "His Grace is sufficient for me"!
Even in my selfishness and often infantile behaviors, God's unmerited favor is still poured out on me, His love is never changing, and His comfort and help is ever ready to guide and directed me in the way that I should go.
I am so thankful for this time of fasting and consecration that God has called His body to, it has been a much awaited and oh so needed  awakening,
My prayer is that not a moment of God's time has been wasted on me.and that every seed He has planted in me, is and will ,continue to grow to full fruition for His Glory and Praise.
That all who encounter me will have no choice but to say, God is Real in the world today and He must needs receive all Praise, Honor and Glory!!!!!
