I have experienced so many blessings from YOU..in my 56 years of life. I want to treasue them in my heart and remember them always, especially during these days in Kehie. The swaying palm trees in the tropical storm..the swims in the warm Pacific of Kamole Beach..The fragrance of the flowers. Your creation I am so thankful for! God I don't deserve any of this, yet You have chosen to bless me beyond words, sitting here viewing the white caps of the ocean, the walks on the beach. Feeling the smooth, soft, warm sand between my toes, the magnificent surf that splashes onto the lava rocks. The sound of the winds the russle in the palm trees. God for this time, I just want to marvel in Your creation. To soak it up, to remember it, to store it up in my heart as gifts, as nuggets, to put in the bank of my heart. The sunsets that are so different each evening. God You are the artist of the skies, painted with the pinks, purples, oranges...So awesome!!
I love You Lord my God!I am so grateful that You speak to me through Your creation. That You restore my soul. I will always treasure this time inside my soul as I return home, to the realities of life. I will be thankful for this time. The days swimming in the warm Pacific, the song of the birds in the mornings and evenings, the fragrance of the many flowers, the geikos running across the path of my feet. The birds on our Lanai that visted in our condo each morning to say hi, (well to get whatever crumbs they could find).
God, Thank you for just a tiny fraction of what heaven will be like, and that You have prepared such a place for me. Why? I really don't know, I don't deserve it, but I am awed by Your love, Your grace, Your mercies, Your salvation..and that for whatever reason You chose me, You choose to love me, and I guess I am sensing that it has nothing to do with me, but All to do with YOU!
God may I never take that for granted, as I go back home in a few days, I am filled with Your love. God thank you for reviving my heart, when I return home my desire is to live out the rest of my days with purpose, with vision. To be used by You and for You. I don't want my days to be wasted. God, I started off well with You, my desire is to finish well.
The world is in chaos, as You well know. It gets darker by the moment. Oh Lord God, I desire for Your Light inside of me to blaze bright again, in this darkness. To represent You well. No matter what my circumstances. Lord my flesh is weak, but my spirit is willing. I want to shake off the sin that I struggle with. Your Word is Light. I want Your Light to shine. I love You oh Lord my God, my strength, my Rock, my Redeemer. I praise You.
As it is storming right now in Maui, I praise You, and the times when my life may not make sense, or the circmstances that surround me try to rock me, I will continue to praise You. Like the Palm trees outside my Lanai, that are swaying in the winds, still it stands tall. For obviously it's roots are planted deep in the soil God let my roots be firmly planted in Your Word, in You, and You spirit in praise always. Psalms 1:1..(paraphrased from my memory)..And like a tree, she is firmly planted, for she delights in th law of the Lord, and she meditates on it day and night, and her leaves will not wither.
