Sunday Night Wine

Last night Andrew and I had a lovely evening sipping on peach white wine and tasty home made ice cream in the back yard of Randy and Annette McDaniel. Really great people. Randi has now decided to build a pool in his back yard, which Andrew and I know is from the Lord because we are pool people who don't have a pool.So we gave our blessing.

The evening was so nice. The weather was perfect, and the community was even better. Annette and I have been friends for about 4 1/2 years, but I would say we have been really good friends for about 3 or so. I like this girl. She speaks her mind about a lot of things and is very encouraging to me in my life struggles these days.

And yesterday, Andy and I found out that we will be living in THE VILLAGE! Thank you Jesus for giving us direction. We will be living in Ryan Smith's rent house which will be fun just because we love the neighborhood and because the Smith's are good people. Plus a hand fully of some other great people (Calli, Eric, Ryan and Kristen,The McDaniel's and the Bottomlys) all live just blocks away. Looking forward to some good times in that house!

Jesus Speaks...as the Lion

O How I LOVE JESUS...

"He lives in you, he lives in me. He watches over, everything we see."~ The Lion King

He Desires so greatly to speak loving words to us. He uses anything he can get His Voice through. To the natural man, the lion king is just a great musical, but to my hears, Jesus was speaking loving words that built deep roots of trust. Scriptures calls Jesus the "Lion", the KING.

Please go right now and listen to that song, close your eyes and imagine your King singing these words over your soul.

Jesus has passion for my heart. He loves to dance over me. O great is His love for His children. And I am one of His little ones. He loves me. He loves me. Chains are gone in His presence. In His presence is complete joy.

Joy made complete brings my freedom. Freedom for all of us looks different. For me it means I can breath with out fear. Fear of panic. Panic is just years of fear. There is no reason for panic, that is what makes it so painful. You don't know what your afraid of, your just afraid.

BUT JESUS LOVES ME! And Jesus's love is greater and more powerful then the fear, so much more powerful then the panic. Because HE is my shield, He is my safe place, He is my hope, He is all that I have, which is more than any one person in this whole world.

I will live in His love, I will rest in His home, I say of the Lord, He is my safe place.
He lives in me...
