hope you enjoy and are touched in an area that you need.
God is preparing you.
For what He has prepared FOR you.
God doesn't have expiration dates.
When He promises. He fulfills.
In His timing.
There is no reason to limit God, to the possible.
God is incredibly interested in the small details of your life.
{He knows the numbers on your head - when you sit and stand}
We confuse God's "due season" for a "due date"
Between 2 laughs...
Genesis 18:10-14
10“I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”
Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
13 Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
Sarah was limiting God to the natural
We try to explain away God's promises and rationalize why they haven't happened. When we start to do God's job for Him - we do dumb things!
If I had fulfilled the promise before the appointed time... you would abort it in the natural. You haven't Judged Me Faithful yet...
God very often and very rarely does things the way we think He shouldn't.
God's thoughts are so much higher than ours. Will we trust Him with that space in between?
He who promised IS FAITHFUL.

Genesis 21:1-2, 6
The Birth of Isaac
1 Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. 6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”She was filled with laughter at the promise fulfilled.
{Go from the laughter of unbelief
To laughter of Faith and hope}
the very thing the enemy wanted to take you out with
God will use for His glory and your good.
You can't accept the promises of God until you have an authentic relationship with God.
You can start "bad" and finish "good" Chris is an amazing example of this
{left at birth "unnamed and unwanted - just a number. Abused starting at the age of 3 - for 12 years}
she is "living her life every day to make the enemy REGRET what he tried to do to her - how he tried to take her out!" - awesome way to look at life. Living LIFE to the FULLEST. No matter where and what we came from. It doesn't mean that we have amnesia about the past - it is just used and transformed through Hope of a Future!
These are some notes from our first night of Sparkle with Chris Caine.
She is amazing. She is a spit fire! She is IN LOVE with Jesus and knows who He is in that she knows who she is!
So thankful that I went this weekend!
It was a continuation of the story God is writing in my life.
