My life, my hope, my all is in Jesus. Lord I want to be more and more available to You everyday. I want more. To hear You more, to obey You more, trust You more, and to serve You more. I want to love You more because I believe I can never love You too much. Help me Lord. Amen

Come Home

So many go home to empty houses.

To homes of angry children and spouses.

Some homes have no food or love.

Please reach them dear Father above.

Home is where the heart is so man has said.

If my heart is with You Lord, then Your my homestead.

I know because of You I am never alone.

Being in You Jesus I always have a home.

I am safe, I am warm, I am secure in You.

I am feed, I am loved, Your always there for me to turn too.

What a wonderful home I have in You.

I pray that others will find their way home too.

Please reach them dear Father above.

Home

I like staying at home. I don't like taking a bus into town and being a way form home all day, even thought I don't usually do it for more than a week. I don't like leaving home to go on a camping vacation, even though I love camping. I don't like leaving home to take trips, even though I don't do that very often either. I think it is because I lived on the streets so long, and had nothing for so long, that I get this little nagging in the back of my mind that I am going to go some where and come back and my home will be gone. Or the thought that I wont make it back home( my fear of  flying). How silly! These thoughts held true until today. The Lord in His infinite love, understanding and mercy has given me peace about leaving home. In reality home is where ever He is and He is with me always. Also as long as I have Him He is all I need. He is the great provider. Sure I love my home it feels safe, warm, secure, and full of love, but I love God more and I trust Him for with and for everything. I am going with my husband to see his family soon in Texas. I am also going to Hawaii soon. Thanks be to Jesus I am happy and excited about these trips. This new view of  home has also given me other new freedom. I also didn't like being away from home to go into town because nothing gets done at home when I am away. So I am learning that getting out and being with brothers and sisters is far more important than anything I would do at home. Things will get done sooner or later. This doesn't mean I  neglect my home or run around like a busy body. But it means that I am available to God's calling at any given moment; to go any where, and with peace.

The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I hope in Him! Lamentations 3:24, For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew 6:8, Love cast out all doubt and fear  1 John 4:18 (my words), Cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7  Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
