So I see a close of another year!

In five days it will be December.
I thank God for all he has done in my life, the things he has taught me and the way he has delivered me from, well let's be honest, myself.
Seems I have been my own worst enemy in times past.
Thankfully As G.I. Joe says, knowing is half the battle.
I have finally learned and invaluable lesson, God made me so I AM worth loving.
When Jesus said love my neighbor as my self, I always seemed to miss the  "as myself" part.
Then I always wondered why it seemed so hard to love my "neighbor" you know the folks I live with, see all the time.
I couldn't figure out why I could never get that forgiveness thing down, why I remembered everything any body did to me, not saying that there was some really raunchy stuff done, but why could't I ever let any of it go?
Well, it dawned on me one day that, I had never been able to forgive me, I couldn't even receive, God's forgiveness, which really is a slap in the face considering all He did to make that forgiveness available.
Yeah I had to forgive me of that too, and with the help and deliverance of the Holy Spirit, I have walked thru this awesome door, into an open place of freedom and love!!!
I am not longer faking it till I make it!

¹³Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
 ¹⁴I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
 ¹⁵Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Philippians 3:13-15

I get it now, and I'm so-o-o looking forward to where it is The Holy Spirit is leading me now.

Wow not since February?!

it has been a busy time so I'm going to take a few days to maybe catch folks up.
First of all. I have become yet another stroke survivor, I'm amazed at how many of us there are! And I can only Thank God for His protecting hand on my live and the many others who have not only survived but have come out better for the experience.
Yeah! right? I came out better for having had this thing touch my life. Just goes to show that.... And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Rom 8:28 and No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isa.54:17
Well I will come back later (especially now that I found my password!!! ;-D)
yep that's part of why the long absence, but only part, yeah that's why......
