Taste the sweetness...

This past weekend I attended the She Speaks Conference through Proverbs 31 Ministries. The weekend was awesome and unexplainable. It was a refreshing time to break away and learn more about His plan for me. I went to define my speaking and writing skills and I did do that, however, I got so much more. God joined me on purpose in a very sweet way. I felt as if I could melt in the arms of God! He was so melting my heart for His love even more. His presence and sweetness to me was sweeter than a Hershey's kiss melting in my mouth. A line from P31 Speaker Wendy Pope says it all, " I could take me a big ole' bite of me some Jesus!" Hmmm! That is how good and sweet Jesus was to His me and all His daughters. His presence was so sweet and tender as...

He spoke,

He loved,

He cared,

and He embraced His daughters and affirmed us in Him.

He defined and refined to be more like Him. He showed true purpose in writing and speaking and then released all his daughters to go and spread the message.

As the conference ended with hugs,tears and good bye's there was one common sense of peace. His sweetness and tenderness went with each of us. Just because the conference closed didn't mean that the sweet feeling of His love or His presence ended. We can taste and see that the Lord is good everyday right in our own home. He desires to lavish His love on His daughters and He is wild about us! I am all about my Jesus being wild about me! We can have the same melty, sweet experiences everywhere. He has a wild desire for us, however, we have to be wild about Him too. So, now renew the excitement to love on Jesus and indulge in a refreshing way tasting His sweetness. As His daughters, we must slow down from the busy schedules, the cooking, the kids and so forth to take time to experience the sweetness. Sometimes we miss it because we are so busy or have our own plans. The challenge is in the everyday walk of being close to a true love and that is taking the time to " taste His sweetness". The sweetness of Jesus will leave us forever changed.

So, may I leave you with this... God desires to lavish His love on you. He desires to hold you and tenderly love you. He desires to lead you and show you the way you should go everyday, every second. I would love to share my sweet, tender Jesus with you. He is the love of my life and He knows how to make my heart melt. He will melt your heart too. Will you invite Jesus in and taste of His sweetness?

Dear Sweet Jesus, Thank you that you lavish your love on us, your daughters. May you melt our hearts in the sweetest way as you draw us closer to you. Allow us to taste and see the goodness of the Lord every day and every second. May each of the ladies reading this experience you Jesus, and may she come to know how sweet, faithful and lovable you are. In Jesus name.

Sweet blessings,

Show me how to manage the whirlwind!

Good morning ladies!

I write to you today with a heart of excitement and renewal. It is a new day in the Lord and I am excited. This summer has been crazy, but it has been a lot of fun. In keeping up with three kids it is a whirlwind of fun, sibling rivalry quarrels and something new everyday. They keep me busy! I have been overwhelmed with entertaining kids, trips to the pool and the normal everyday stuff that still has to go on. This morning in my prayer time I asked God for order!God has to be in control or my whirlwind will turn into a damaging tornado that will reek havoc on my life if I am not keeping God as the first priority. I need him to show me the way to guide my whilrwind!

My verse for today is Psalms 25: 4-5, Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation: On you I will wait all day.

My goodness! What a great truth and revelation for today. God show me your way, so that through my whirlwind of life I walk in your steps. He is forever teaching me in the little things as I go through day to day. How about you? Did you have your morning coffee today? Do you have a plan that includes God? I have to admit so many times I can have my prayer time and then hit the day running hard only to reach about mid day frazzled and frustrated. Why is that? Often times our morning prayer times can be routine. Check that off the list and move on to what is next. However, I have learned great lessons by inviting Him in my day, while I do laundry, wash dishes, referee the sibling rivalries, and make trips to the pool. I am the woman who can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan all while I multitask and control the world! NOT!! We think we are Superwoman sometimes, but we have to stop and say okay, God show me your way and your truth about life just for today. When we do that the daily grind becomes a PEACE of cake with our favorite icing! So for today, I want the PEACE of cake and icing too, that God has to offer when I put Him first and include in my life. I am excited to indulge in all that He has for me in my whirlwind of life. If I put Him first I will make it through the frazzled times with peace.

Can you be renewed in Him today and be excited about He has to offer you? The challenge is don't just include Him in your morning, but in all that you do for today. Include Him and allow Him to show you the way and enjoy your PEACE of Cake!!!

Sweet Blessings,
Lesia
