The Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt in case your not familiar is a party game, an outdoor game in which participants have to collect a number of miscellaneous objects on a list created by the organizer. It's actually fun. The last time I played was with friends on St. Augustine Beach until recently I played the game with God. Back in St. Augustine I just had my girl scout knowledge and a determination to win, but this time around I had my Bible and prayer. I took this journey led by God completely, nobody knew about it. But the thing was I told God I will do these things to disprove what He was telling me was true. Like in the movie God's not Dead, the devout Christian student must prove the existence of God to his professor, I was set out to disprove not God but things about myself that He was telling me. It's like is that me God? Or is that you speaking? God gave me His list of items to do and not to do. I followed intently with prayer and my Bible. A journey that I may share one day, but for now it remains with God and I. This invested time for eternity sake proved to be one of the most beautiful in awe times in my life with God. He revealed way more than I was asking for about myself, others and life. But He is like that as the Bible tells us in Ephesians 3:20- Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think. 

Today you sit on your bunk hanging with your bunky or at chow or your the one at work in the free world reading this. This message is for you today. God loves you. God is crazy madly in love with you. But God wants to hear from you, it's been way too long. He misses you. Your struggles have been more than He ever wanted for you and He has never been blind to them. He has been relentlessly seeking you with His Love. Will you consider today to take your own scavenger hunt with the Lord? Will you consider investing sometime in with Him to draw closer to Him? The girl reading this in confinement, you can do this too, just start by talking to Him. If your not sure about all this, perhaps take the rest of November and thank God each day for something. He is worthy to be praised and thanked. I promise you if you take the time to hang with God you will be refreshed with clarity, liberty, boldness, sensitivity, insight and free from all the petty worries around you that will not matter in the bigger picture. I pray in Jesus Name you wait no longer and start today! I'm believing for you and if nobody has told you lately, you are loved and special. Your so special that He only created one you. Be yourself and if you think of it, look up, God is an amazing artist, literally the best.

GOD Is More Than Able

By Angie Blevins
Dose of Encouragement

It's easy to get distracted by life's difficulties. It's easy to get overwhelmed with life itself. Many times our situations look and feel "hopeless" and we also can just feel completely way in over our head. To be quite honest it's very easy to limit God with our very own limitations. It's easy to forget at times that God is the great I AM.

Sometimes I have to take a step back and just say to myself...if Jesus

• Changed water into wine
• Gave sight to the blind
• Healed the sick
• Fed 5,000 with only five loaves of bread and two fish
• Raised Lazarus from the dead
• Rose from the dead Himself 

I mean if Jesus can do all that... then I know with confidence that He is MORE THANable to handle whatever I'm going through in this journey called life!

God can do any an everything, Nothing is ever impossible with Him. So when I fix my mind and heart on that I am truly at peace.

"Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of-infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes." Ephesians 3:20 (TLB)

The Lord God fights for YOU!!

Yesterday as I turned the pages on the second to the last day of a 9 week Bible Study I had such a strong urge in my spirit from God to share with you. For those that receive my blog post from girls in prison to girls in the free world the message is the same..."I'm fighting for you" says God. YOU need to hear this, that the God of heaven and earth is fighting for you.!! There are those of you waiting on clemency that need to hear that "God is fighting for you"...ALL you need to be is STILL. There are girls out there going through a rough time with their husbands and your heading for divorce and your full of emotions and sadden that you feel like your husband isn't even fighting for you but God is fighting for you. There are you that are dealing with unexpected deaths in your family and it's tearing your family apart, the Lord says BE STILL I am fighting for you and love you, I am all about family. Still yet there are those of you about to to walk into the free world with much worries...remember God has done a great work in you and will see it to completion..He is fighting for you too!! 

To all you beautiful and beloved girls God loves you so much, He is fighting for you even if you feel nobody else is, He is. Let today be a new start in your heart to walk this thing out in faith yet knowing God is fighting for you so there isn't anything to fear or be concerned about.  If you have to repeat it a hundred times a day to get it into your spirit say it...God loves me, God is fighting for me. 

Fill in the blank _______ with your name and say; God loves me, He favors me, He wants to bring me good not harm all the days of my life. His grace is all I need and His power works best in my weakness and I need not be strong. I will walk by faith and trust in you Lord for you are worthy and I know today that your word says that you are fighting for me and all I have to do is be still. Help me to be still, help me to fully trust in you and give me a portion of Joy today as I celebrate in your Love for me. I love you Lord God and thank you for fighting for me. In Jesus Precious Name the Name above ALL Names...AMEN.

Now go...be at peace...Love God BIG and Love others BIG...To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or image...Ephesians 3:20.

I love you deeply and you mean so much to my heart. 

Don't be anxious about anything...God's got this!!!!!!!
