Testify Tuesday

It's a Testify Tuesday! What do I mean by that? Today is your turn to testify about where you've seen Him moving, where you've seen Him working, or simply where you have seen His presence in your life. As I sat in Bible study last night with friends, we shared several stories with one another about God and we shared examples of who He has been to us and it was amazing to hear their stories, stories that could only have happened by the touch of His hand. It boosted my faith in Him!

"I have seen and testify that this is the Son of God." John 1:34

I am asking you to boost someone else's faith today. Believe it or not, people do read the comments you post, so feel free to blab on and on about how great He is!

How Great Is Our God
How Great Is Our God
Sing with me, How great, How great is our God ..............

(The mean part of me hopes that song gets stuck in your head today!;)

Getting Ready

This past Saturday, we had somewhere to be at a particular time. The girls had been told to get their clothes and to get ready. As I was trying to make sense of this brown stuff atop my head, attempting to form it into something that somewhat resembled a hairstyle, one of my girls came to me. The following conversation ensued:

“Mommy, I don’t know what to do.” My daughter stated in a rather distressed tone.

“You don’t know what to do about what?” I asked while the thoughts “what could possibly have you so puzzled at your ripe old age of 8?” rolled through my mind.

“I know you and Daddy said for me to get ready, but Sissy keeps wanting me to play house with her and I don’t know what to do.”

Being the parental authority, I gave her some of my best motherly wisdom on the subject, “You go do what I told you to do.”

“But I don’t want her to get mad at me!”

“You don’t worry about her being mad at you. You were told to get ready and that what you should do.”

“Ok,” she replied with her head dropped.

“If Sissy has a problem with that, you send her to me. I’ll take care of it.”


I had given my daughter instructions to get ready for where she needed to go just as God has given us instructions to prepare ourselves as well. There is somewhere we are supposed to be one day, and we are to be spending this time getting ready. His Word tells us to be ready because we do not know the day or the hour. How often, though, do we get distracted and decide to “play house” or whatever else seems appealing? We don’t notice at first how much time we are wasting, but when we finally realize we aren’t doing what we were told to do, the battle begins. We don’t want to hurt someone else or be deemed “weird” by choosing no longer to participate, but we know we can’t please God if we aren’t getting ready. It’s not really the other person we are dealing with, it’s the enemy. He does not want us to be obedient; he does not want us to prepare ourselves.

When that battle begins within us, we should do exactly what my daughter did, take it to Him, the One in authority. His answer will be the same, “You go do what I told you to do. If he has a problem with that, you send him to me, and I’ll take care of it.”

You Go God! I just love that my Abba Father, my “Dad”, rocks! He’ll take care of it. I just do what He tells me and leave the rest to Him.

Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.
Revelation 19:7

Before we close today, I wanted to let you know that I will be spending as much time as possible this week praying and preparing for Unveiled Faces on Friday night. With that being said, I may not have a post everyday this week, but I will do the best I can to be on here as much as possible. Please be in prayer for me, Solveig who is the worship leader for the evening, and for the women who will be attending. I am ready for God to rock their worlds!

Have a blessed day and a glorious week.

A Full Moon

Last night as I drove at dusk, the moon was just ahead of me and it was luminous. It was almost bright enough to make me blink when I first turned my car in its direction, beautiful with its golden yellow cast suspended in a canopy of deep blue.

As I gazed upon it thinking of what the moon is like, I remembered that the moon doesn’t give off its own light, it gives off the light it absorbs and reflects from the sun. Its surface isn’t perfect, but even through its imperfections, it still shines, and that’s what makes it beautiful.

I am so much like the moon. I have no light of my own to give off. I only have the light that I absorb from God. Without His light, my heart is nothing but stone, a big rock with deep pits and craters, much like the moon’s surface. Although all of my surfaces aren’t completely smooth yet, there are still places where I need to allow His light to reach, it’s the landscape of His brightness shadowing my wholes that can create such beauty.

“For thou art my lamp, O Lord;
And the Lord illumines my darkness”

2 Samuel 22:29

The Son was here upon this earth and now He is gone to prepare a place for you and me. It’s my job to give off His light to those walking in the “night” of life. Although moonlight cannot produce near the amount of brightness as pure sunlight, sometimes it gives off just enough light to help us navigate in the dark. Sometimes the full moon shines so brightly into my bedroom window, it seems as if a light is on outside.

That’s what I want to be – a full moon. Not a crescent moon, not a half-moon, a full moon that illumines the darkness, shining the way for feet that might be stumbling, hands that might be reaching, hearts that might be searching, lighting their paths and leading them to the The Light Of The World.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying,

“I am the light of the world;

he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.”

John 8:12

Jesus, I fear that I have not been a full moon for You, sometimes, I have been no moon at all. I thank you for Your never ending mercy toward me when I do not shine to illuminate the darkness. Father, show me new ways to spend time with You absorbing Your light so that it may radiate to those who need a glimpse of promise. This world is a very dark place sometimes, God, and I pray that my light from You would give someone hope who is lost in darkness.
