Faith touches Jesus

-


Happy Thursday y'all!

 I was praying yesterday and this thought occurred to me: We all want smooth rides and calm waters; but in WV (and life) bumpy roads lead to mountaintops. And mountaintops offer the best views. But getting there can be rough. Narrow, washboard-like roads full of turns and potholes can be a deterrent. But once there? Oh y'all! Magnificence! The same holds true on our journey through life. It's rough at times, but on the other side is heaven. And heaven will be spectacular!

 Touching Jesus (and being touched by Him) holds many promises and offers us hope and direction on how to navigate this journey. And we touch Jesus when our faith is stronger than doubt and fear. We've just gotta keep going, in faith, believing that the best is yet to come! Enjoy your life, trust in Jesus, and be blessed today y'all.

Create in Me

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10) SEVERAL years ago, I drove across a few back WVa back roads, across Dolly Sods and Red Creek.  While taking this picture, I considered how the creek,  (pounced crick where I come from),  had marked out its own path . The interesting thing about a creek, is that when the water is high, it hides what’s laying in the creek bed; but a low water level reveals unsightly debris. Some debris, fallen trees and leaves, occur naturally. Other stuff, tires, plastic bags, bottles, they are deposited there on purpose. But debris is debris…and it mires the beauty of the creek and can change the course of the waters flow. Interestingly enough, Christians have a lot in common with a creek…and  when a Believer’s faith ‘ebbs and flows’, it sends a message to anyone watching, and they will  take notice. We’re all guilty of the spiritual ebb and flow phenomenon.  When our faith is high, it reflects our t

Jesus, Touch Me Again

  In Mark, Chapter 8, Jesus laid hands on a blind man and gave him sight; but the man was only "half-healed". And the all-knowing Jesus asked him "Okay, so how's that?"   This story intrigues me.   Here's a blind man who willingly puts his hand in the hand of The Man and is led out of town to be healed.   Did he follow Jesus expecting something miraculous?   Or did he blindly follow like his friends told him to? I visualize him shrugging with an "it can't hurt" attitude.   But I wonder how he felt when Jesus touched him...Can you imagine his excitement as the Holy Spirit bubbled up in his gut?   I imagine he was excited about receiving some sight, but when Jesus touched him again and he saw clearly? Surely, he went from being half blind to dumbstruck.     Now try to imagine how it would have been if Jesus hadn't touched his eyes the second time. A little sight would be better than no sight, but this is Jesus we'r

And Sometimes...It is Just God

My son's "just God" moment from a few years ago. He was so excited to see that his tossed stick made a cross. Yep...it was "just God" Don't you just love those little moments (no, not the Brad Paisley song!) but those moments that cause us to pause, smile, shake our head, and sigh as we walk on? Those little undeserved moments that happen without a chain of events carefully strung together by human hands; those little moments when attempts at an explanation always comes up short?  You know, those moments when sometimes...its just God?  Yesterday, Tuesday January 12, 2016,  was packed full of "Just God" moments that I'd love to share with y'all! They started coming in at 5:30 a.m. when my husband and I tend to share moments of our previous day, sometimes we unload with our daily 10:00 a.m. e-mail, but this particular Tuesday, at 5:30 a.m., he shared a channel surfing moment...and his timing was impeccable.  His moment r
