July 20th, 2012

Hard to believe that it’s already almost 1 month that my children started their summer vacation. But it’s the truth - I don’t know about you, but for me, the summer is the best season - I enjoy the sunshine and the warmth of summer......in another 2 months we’re already in a new season..... - what will this one bring? A lot of new stuff again - the children will start another school year.....I will enter yet another season in my life.....

It’s a year, that I dug into God’s word and did a lot of studying (Bible studies and Christ centered books - I needed answers.....I needed hope and I needed a promise - all of this I found in God’s word - in learning to trust, that Jesus will come to my rescue, that He cares for me and that I can place all my burdens at His feet.......I didn’t know, what I would find - but I found His Grace for me, His Peace in my Heart, but most of all I found that my Heart and my Destiny are safe with Him.

His Promises were manifold - He promised me, that He would never leave me, and that I am His Masterpiece - that He created me for far more than what I believed life could be - He has taken me far beyond anything I could have ever imagined possible.....

He promised me a Hope and a Future - a Plan to prosper me and not to harm me - and He showed me, that Faith truly is the answer to all my problems and worries - that He would come through for me at all times.

I am sometimes still doubtful, but this I know today is also because I am still human, and have not quite completely extinguished all of me, surrendered it all to Him - for in Christ we have complete Peace and our Hearts are overflowing with God’s love to each and everyone in our sphere of influence - but today I understand, that we are transformed from Glory to Glory and that Rome wasn’t built in a day - it takes time and it comes in waves - the mountaintops have to be followed by valleys.....until all there is, is Christ shining through us - this day will come - I have received this promise........He will never quit until He’s through with us - He will never give up on us, until we are all He created us to be......the adversary of our soul tries to tell us, that we loose our individuality, if we surrender all to Christ - yet that’s the biggest lie ever told - God created us, gave us certain gifts and talents, that we can be all we desire to be, and that we can be all that and even more than we could ever dream to be, only if we can be it the purest way possible and that’s by complete surrender to Christ - for then we don’t need any walls or masks behind which to hide anymore.....

Just like Amy Grant sings: I’m gonna fly - all my life I have waited to be this person inside of me - no more faces to hide behind, just a smile and a dream that’s mine - Jesus has set me free to fly, that’s for sure - now I have to hang in there, when a valley follows the mountaintop - knowing a) that this too shall pass and b) that Jesus will see me through any storm - I don’t have to doubt the anointing nor the plan - I just have to trust in what the Bible tells me......and wait to see His big picture to unfold right before my very eyes - to know what I know is true, that He had me in mind, even before the creation of the world - given me a purpose to further His Kingdom. I still don’t know what He has in store, but with the happenings of the last year, I know, it must be big - and I know that in my own little self I can’t do it - only through Christ I can do what He asks me to do - but my answer is and will always be: Yes, Lord, use me for your purpose - I cannot but trust in You - forever and ever. I am your servant and I gladly submit my life into your care - for without you I was lost and now I am found - without you I was tossed around in the storm, now I have a secure anchor.......a savior and a friend that has redeemed me, rescued me from my enemies - or should I say that ones I perceived to be my enemies......

Jesus has changed my perception of life completely - today my life is not my life anymore - my selfish desires have been nailed to the cross with Jesus - and today I walk every day of my life trusting in God, the Son and the Holy Spirit - believing the Bible and the things of the Spirit, that God chose to reveal to me - forever changed and blessed I pledge allegiance to the Lamb and to God the King of Kings - being His beloved daughter and His eternal bride - what a joy fills my heart :)

I am still a work in progress, we all are - and I believe we will be until we have extinguished all of us to all of Him - but I know that day will come and then there will be pure bliss forever and ever.....

I love you my friends, I am grateful for each and everyone of you - my prayer is that my story...... - the 1st part of my journey you can find in my blog ‘Upclose and Personal - In the Name of the Father’ at http://youschka650220.blogspot.com - helps you or has helped you place your trust in the only hands that are capable of redeeming you fully and of setting you free to fly.

Hoping you will follow me and take up your cross daily and do as Christ demands us to do: to love our neighbors like He loved us.......let the love that overflows your heart, when you realize the greatness of His Grace and Love, that flows from His Heart to you, flow freely to those around you.....don’t hold onto it......for when you try to keep it, you will loose it, but when you give it away it comes back manifold.

Be blessed today my friends - I pray to my Father in Heaven, that He would reveal Himself to you, just as He has done for me - I know He will, if you look for Him earnestly and if you let go of the reins in your life.

Amen
