Exciting!

Had a good couple of hours working on my dissertation tonight and produced some pretty looking charts!! Fun! Very exciting for me to see it coming together! I have two days off work now to focus more fully on my dissertation and to see my tutor - hope I get a lot done and am encouraged! I'm excited for the chance to work on it! Yes, I know excited about charts and things! :0)

Flowers!

Pretty!

Christ our hope!

There will never be loss for those whose defining is Christ for every relationship.

Amen

I just read this quote by Martin Luther and loved it:

"Finally, mark this, that you must always speak the Amen firmly. Never doubt that God in his mercy will surely hear you and say "yes" to your prayers. Never think that you are kneeling or standing alone, rather think that the whole of Christendom, all devout Christians, are standing there beside you and you are standing among them in a common, united petition which God cannot disdain. Do not leave your prayer without having said or thought, "Very well, God has heard my prayer; this I know as a certainty and a truth." That is what Amen means."

Martin Luther, 'A Simple Way to Pray'

What an awesome God we serve! HE hears our prayers! Amen!

Glorious Day!

What a beautiful day! Wish I could be outside more to enjoy it, but alas it's not meant to be right now! Sure does make work easier though on beautiful days! Off now to enjoy the warmth, relax and chill with an iced tea, ben and jerry's icecream cookie and then .... most exciting of all (NOT!!) write out some dissertation ideas. It has to be done...."Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit" - going in the Lord's strength! Sure do need HIS strength - always!
Blessings.

hhhmmm

Look Up: Answered Prayers!

Haven't quite managed to work out how this blog fully works! Oh, well...guess I'll get there eventually!!

Answered Prayers!

Answered Prayer!!
I am so excited tonight after so many answers to prayer!! What an awesome God we have! May we serve HIM always and give our lives fully to HIM!
AND CAN IT BE that I should gain
An interest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

’Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine!
’Tis mercy all! let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race.
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

No condemnation now I dread;J
esus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

(Charles Wesley)

Amen!!
