His voice is so pure, if you wonder why some folks cry when in worship. It is not like anything you will ever experience. It soothes deeper than grandma's, gives more wisdom than daddy's...I am talking about this voice that I hear when I don't ask for an audience with Him but decides to heighten my awareness of His presence by simply speaking...
I find something so amazingly beautiful when He speaks, when you have not initiated the conversation. It is the reminder, the evidence that you are on His mind. That He is aware, observing what it is that you need the most and responding simply because He cares, simply because He loves you. It is a wooing greater than any lover! And though He speak to and through me...it is moments like these that knock me off my feet...when He speaks.

A Good Soldier
II Timothy 2:3- "Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus."
Transparent Moment: This season of my life has been so challenging. I have incurred loss and disappointments beyond measure. Yet...every time I feel like it is too much, every time my heart rehearses the hurt the Holy Ghost finds a way to speak peace, reaffirm joy and encourages me to stand.
Don't get me wrong, I know suffering. I was not born rich or perfect. I know what it means to suffer because of bad judgment, poor decisions, lack of discipline, you name it...But there is something about suffering when have done all you can to be "right". To live right, to love right to give RIGHT! It is a different kind of cross to bear. And human nature wants some form of vindication, satisfaction some relief because it is painful! And it causes you to die! Die to your will and the demands of your carnal nature to "GET OUT" of the press. I know I haven't made it this far in my own strength or my own merit I know that it is the Lord who has strengthened me and encourages me to continue to stand.
So, this is just a word, to encourage, and to remind you that if you "having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness…" - Ephesians 6:13-14 (KJV)
