Dear Emo....

I love the times when God takes His loving hand and smooths the rumpled pages of my life.

It's not any one thing He does, but rather, a series of events.

The past week has been full of difficult events in my personal life, but I serve a personal Savior, and my personal walk with Him has made all the difference in how things went, how I reacted, and how I felt. Things are in my favor, I was not taken by surprise or devastated, nor am I sorrowed or upset.

My close relationship with The Holy Spirit caused me to hear when He said "Do....", or "Say.....", and having listened, I am peaceful, re-assured, and satisfied.

Because I was listening months ago when He said- "Pray this-", even the storm did not make me afraid. God knew all this would take place in my life, and had me ask for provision months ago.

God knows my future, I do not. He has a plan, for He is the Great Planner. If I continuously ask for His plan, I will receive the very best that could be.

I have not always been so compliant, I have missed it lots of times. I notice, I miss when I take time away from His time with me. My spirit is not as quickened to do those things which He says "do", and the storm is much rougher, when it comes.

No one ever promised this life would be easy, including my Father, but He did tell me that if I would remain vitally attached to Him, I would have life abundantly.

At this point in time, the page is clean, smooth and fresh. What will I allow Him to write on it?

Your plan, Father.....always Your plan.

Bye for now, Emo.

Hello Kimberly,
I feel the peace of your spirit, fed by The Holy Spirit.

Acts 17:27-28 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: (28 ) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

As you share what He places on your heart, especially in the trials, the words are poetry -- His poetry, for those who have an ear, let them hear.

It seems that Emo and Alfie have been talking. I share with you a song The Holy Spirit gave me to hear as I received what He placed on your heart.

Song lyrics Alfie

Here is the song that says it best for me........wanted to share it with you

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt of life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

( "In Christ Alone"...As recorded by the Newsboys)

I have run to the ocean through the horizon, chased the sun.
I've waited for the light to come and at times I would give up.
You have wrapped Your loving arms round me and with Your love I'll
overcome.
You have loved me when I was weak.
You have given unselfishly.
Kept me from falling, falling, everywhere but my knees.

You set me free to live my life.
You became my reason to survive the great divide.You set me free.

I've been on heaven's doorstep with the door open, one foot inside.
I cried out, "God give me answers!"
"Please hush! Child, I'll tell you why...
you have loved me when you were weak.
you have given unselfishly.
I kept you from falling, falling, everywhere but your knees."

You set me free to live my life.
You became my reason to survive the great divide.
You set me free to live my life.
You became my reason to survive the great divide. You set me free.

O, our love is beautiful,
O, isn't this beautiful?
Times have changed, but You remain my everything,
our love is beautiful,
stood by my side and we survived the great divide, isn't this beautiful?
You set me free!

Hiya Emo,

Sometimes I can't express what God means to me....I just cry when I try. But good tears, the Holy Spirit knows what I can't express, and He in return, makes me to feel it in my spirit, and it is such a deep emotional exchange between Him and me- I cry.

I have cried a lot lately.....In relating to Him; and for the death of a relationship in my life; also in prayer for someone else who has suffered a loss greater than mine. All things Jesus felt and dealt with on this earth. How did He deal so well with everything He felt in that fleshly body?

He turned constantly to the Father, and laid it all honestly before Him. He even told the truth in the Garden of Gethsemane, when he admitted he wanted to be delivered of the trial that was coming. God listens to the truth in our hearts and in our feelings. Jesus told a truth from His fleshly feelings- He wanted to not do what God had planned. Then, He told the truth that God had put in His heart--

He wanted to do the Father's will.

That truth in His heart had become the most important thing to him, more important than the truth in His 'feelings'. But it was Jesus choice. And He chose the truth God had put in His heart.

Father, may I always choose to do the truth You put in my heart. May it become more real to me than my feelings. In the Name of Him who made truth a reality for me, Jesus.....amen.

talk to you soon, Emo

Hiya Emo,

Sometimes, I need the testimonies of others. I need to hear other victory accounts. I want to listen instead of give out.

This to me is perfect fellowship. Testifying to each other of overcoming faith, sharing scripture, praising Him.

In Emo Management last night, it happened this way. It encouraged me so much. It reminds me, we are all together in this thing. There is no need to be isolated or feel alone.

God provides perfect fellowship. I sought it and found it. The Kingdom of God, within my brothers and sisters.

Jesus.

Catch ya soon, Emo.

by **susidivah** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 10:35 am

Amen, Kimber... other's testimonies remind me of His Grace even more, and remind me I am not alone on an island in the temporal world.

We all need the fellowship and friendship and that agape love to make it till His return...

Thanks for your sharing sis thru Him, and may the Holy Spirit continue to bless you and comfort you each day...

Luv ya,
Susi

by **Mackenaw** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 12:02 pm

Amen.

My dearest Kimberly,

Wow, I go to type and I start to cry, yet again. The testimonies -- awesome. Even if I've heard them before, He gives me new ears to hear. Love flows, compassion flows, tears flow, nose blows -- but then His glory and His grace is magnified. Leaves me breathless and revived at the same time. God is so very Good.

Agape,
Mack

by **kimberly** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 3:52 pm

Amen, Susi and Mack.

This has happened to me 3 times now....when I have nothing, God has something.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO.

by **kimberly** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 5:04 pm

Hiya Emo......

I am here to complain. Why is it, when you are a separate being, people think you are lacking, and want to find you someone? Like, I am not complete without someone else?

Are they afraid I will self-destruct? Make stupid decisions? Take away their significant other? Have a poor time at the county hoedown? WHAT????

Maybe it is concern. Enough already. Eat a meal with me. Visit. Let's go for a drive. Let's share the Word.... , but...I don't need someone to be attatched to.

I find my rest in Him. I do not feel alone.Or incomplete. I don't feel needy. Or weepy. Just a little frustrated at others thinking I should be feeling those things.

This too shall pass. Just blowing off steam, Emo. :mrgreen: See ya later.
