This weekend has and is amazing. I and my sister are attending the Women of Joy conference in OKC. The message that God is speaking through His women is so moving. I have been challenged and "I know God, which knowing God keeps me standing firm, in standing firm in Him, I will move and be active for Him." I will move forward in the calling on my life.

Sunday, was the last day of the women of Joy conference, and I was so energized by what God was doing. to see 9,000 women worshiping together and praising God. Though, my spirit still felt sad, or a sense of longing as I walked out to the conference center. Then God gently spoke to me and said, "The Joy of the lord is lived out daily." The conference may be over, but the joy that you have found in me will never die. Wow. So women, men.. Joy comes from our Heavenly Daddy, those of you who can not relate to a heaven Daddy, YET. Believe me when I say, it took me years before I could see God as that. Just a year ago I heard a dear friend of mine call God her dad, and I desired that so much. with the relationship between my father, and men, I could not say that he was MY heavenly daddy. I love to hear her pray this way, and so I started to pray God give me the desires of my heart, to see you as my Heavenly Daddy, and just a few months ago He did. Through the true, freeing forgiveness of my earthly father, God became my Heavenly Daddy.

The Joy that we have in the Lord, some days may seem dimmer than others, and almost gone. But He is there, and that Joy that he can only provide is always with you. Look for him today in the small details of your life, that is where I have found the Joy that he gives me. Knowing that he cares for even the miminal detail. Find Joy in that He saved you. Find Joy in that He loves you unconditionally. Find that Joy in Him today!!! Love you all in Christ.

Truth:
Nehemiah 8:10 (King James Version)
"for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Zephaniah 3:17 (King James Version)
17The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
I love that verse.

Psalm 28:7 (New International Version, ©2011)
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.

Thank you God for Joy in these days of trails and temptation we all have.

Asking for prayers for our family finacially. I know that God is in control and he is the provider of all things. We have had a few set backs, not painfully hurting yet, but with many bills that we all can relate to, and the rise of cost for everything, it is getting tough. Doctor bills, and my daughter will be soon off insurance and they are doing tests on her. I would like prayer for guideness. Guideness to know where and what we need to do. I all ready have two part time jobs, brings in about 400 a month, plus taking care of home and kids. I would pick up another job in a heart beat, but not sure if that is God's will. Thank you for your prayers, and I am trully blessed by all of you.

Heart of His Child! All those who have recieved Jesus christ as their lord and savior. Some of his children are rejoicing, some are in pain, some are in healing, some are broken. Though all are carried and loved by the same God, who died on the cross for us and rose again.

My heart is crying and broken for my friend in pain with this disease, my sister who must choose to move away, for those who have died and lost their homes in the storms nationwide.

My heart is humbled by the way God calls me back into his arms, and says my child I long for you to be in my presence today, to spend time with me today. To also be used to reach out to this other child of mine, and not focus on you today.

My heart is rejoicing in the birth of a new child who has just entered into this world. My heart is rejoicing to think that I am cherished and loved.

Heart of His child, is hurting, broken, humbled, rejoicing, and most of all loved!

Thank you Dad for loving me so much. let me shine your light today.
