HIS Presence Is the Sweetest

-


"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For HE HIMSELF has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV)

Sometimes, I forget just how precious and all-fulfilling GOD’s Presence truly is. I love it when GOD gently shifts my perspective and I realize that I don’t want anything at all but HIM—HIS Presence. I encourage everyone who reads this to seek GOD’s face and ask HIM to tangibly show HIMSELF to you. HE promised that if we seek HIM with all of our heart, we will find HIM (Jeremiah 29:13). HE also promised that HE will never leave or forsake us. HE is always with us. How amazing is that? Truly—what more could we want?

Imagine HIM holding your hand. Imagine resting your head on HIS shoulder. Imagine HIM placing HIS hand on your forehead or cheek with such tenderness, compassion, and love. Imagine HIM carrying you. Imagine not being in a rush—no hurry, nowhere to go—just you and the LORD, one on one. Feel the peace of that moment, the tenderness, even the quiet joy. It’s incomparable. WOW. Lately, I’ve been asking GOD to show HIMSELF to me so tangibly that all I want is HIM—and HE has been answering. I truly feel HIS Presence, and my heart is so grateful.

In those moments, I want HIM so deeply, and the most beautiful part is that I can feel HIM. I don’t have to long without hope, waiting as if HE might arrive someday. HE is already here. As much as I want HIM in that moment, HE wants me—us—even more. And so, HE shows up. Gosh. To think that we have direct access to the One and Only, true and living GOD.

I know what I’m saying isn’t new, but how easily we forget that the One and Only, true GOD lives within us. Holy moly. I can only imagine how Enoch must have felt as he walked so closely with GOD. My heart’s desire is that you, too, would experience GOD this way—not just once, but again and again. That we would be so close to HIM that we can truly feel HIM—so tangibly and so personally.

GOD bless.

My Brief Dating Journey :)

So, a little about me... I'm 45 years old and have never had a boyfriend. Shocker, I know! Well, that is until this year. Actually, there are many of us out there. Trust me, I've met them. LOL! Although, I've never had a boyfriend until this year it doesn't mean I haven't been on my fair share of dates. Many have been fun and others not so much! So, this is a little story of my brief dating journey, spoiler alert it didn't last long. It pretty much ended as soon as it started. Though technically that's how it went down the truth is this relationship was a long time coming!  Hope you have a little snack to munch on! It might get a little interesting. Perhaps, some popcorn and a little cafe con leche! So, here goes... At the end of 2024, I surrendered my desire to be married and more specifically my desire for a certain someone (a long time friend). I had given it to GOD so many times before but this time I was finally done. I didn't want to long for somet...

Enjoy Your Life!

Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past. (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 NLT) If I'm honest I've been struggling to enjoy this beautiful life GOD has given me. The last few years or so have been pretty rough! But in the midst of it all, I have seen the goodness of the LORD! I think my problem is that I'm a processor and tend to get in my head a little too much. If I'm not careful I'll take up residence there for way too long. I heard a statistic that about 80% of our thoughts are just the thoughts from the day before and only 20% are new. Wow! That makes sense! Once...

Stepping Into Something New!

God has recently given me a task—an assignment—and I truly believe it's HIS sweet mercy that has led me to it. It's right up my alley! Honestly, I never thought I’d embark on this kind of adventure if it was just something I wanted to do, only because I didn’t want it to be self-serving. But in HIS kindness, HE’s given me the green light—permission, desire, and full blessing—to move forward. It’s like HE knew I needed something both fun and purposeful to pour my heart into. If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you’ll know I’m going through a bit of a healing process. Life hits hard sometimes, but GOD is always with us. HIS promise remains: HE will never leave nor forsake us. I’m so grateful—beyond grateful—for all HIS sweet mercies. There are days that are just a struggle, and then there are days that flow with peace. But let me tell you how good GOD is: during the hardest times, HE sent people to reach out and pray for me. That kind of support is powerful. And it’s a rem...
