You traveled to Chapala Jan 2014 and by April 2014 you upgraded your casa with a fireplace, a screened in porch, fresh interior and exterior paint. You moved to Chapala as Permanent Resident on June 12, 2013 and by Fathers Day you had the house totally put away. Wisely using your City 401K, you had a custom desk, closet and bookcase built. You installed a new washer and dryer and a 50 inch Samsung TV. You have been a great steward of all that the Lord has given you. God is proud of you and He has opened doors in Chapala for you. You were asked to lead the first ever Celebrate Recovery group at Lakeside and to participate in the first ever Lake Chapala Baptist Church annual retreat play...as the woman at the well.

READ 2 Samuel 11...PRAISE GOD for His endless mercy! READ 2 Samuel 11:5-26 and be assured that no soul is beyond His reach, His redemption, His blessing, His plans! "Restore to me the JOY of Your salvation, and UPHOLD me by Your generous Spirit." Psalm 51:12 KNJV<br /><br />David made some bad decisions, he inquired not of God, but of man about a woman. Each act of sin has a consequence. A child was born, and then David attempted to conceal his sin and murder the womans husband. GOD has a predestined plan for all of us. SIN leads to separation, but REPENTANCE leads to restoration. CHOICES are always the SAME. <br /><br />1) Conceal our sin with pride<br />2) Deny that we sin<br />3) Repent - and experience mercy.<br /><br />Accept God's FULL restoration by focusing on His love, and forgiving ourselves completely as we have been forgiven.<br /><br />THIS it the PENITENT PSALM written by David after he is confronted by Nathan the prophet. "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and Renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your Presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the JOY of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit." Psalm 51:10-13Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777658601094870541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504218938204574259.post-40851333528063049022012-07-14T09:20:11.009-07:002012-07-14T09:20:11.009-07:00The mystery of God lives within each who have chos...The mystery of God lives within each who have chosen to be a host of His holy Spirit. My relationship with God, my understanding of why He chose me, and how He utilizes me is limited by my fascination of His majesty. My capacity to capture God with words is to attempt to define a God Who is beyond what the complex brain He designed could fathom. What I can do is to PRAISE GOD for His ways are superior, and His purpose is always better than what I could hope for. THANK YOU JESUS for keeping me close, and for bringing Michael Hoyle into my life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777658601094870541noreply@blogger.com
