colleen202 added a text contribution How Great is our GodToday as I read the headlines of the Ft Hood tragedy, this Word of the Lord in Psalms 147 reminds me how great is our God. He promises to heal the wounds of the broken hearted, comfort those in pain and to hear the prayers of the destitute. As God knows the number of stars and calls them by name - He knows your deep hurt and pain. Our God is so great, He goes beyond our limited knowledge and understanding.... Read more »

colleen202 added a text contribution Which will I be?Today, I am convicted by living one moment for Christ as a 'citizen of heaven' or as an 'enemy of the Cross' to the people around me. I choose to model behavior that signifies one or the other. All to often I choose my selfishness thereby shaming my identity as a Christian or Christ-follower. Our actions and words say what we are. We may be on the freeway or highway tailgating or cutting another... Read more »

colleen202 added a text contribution Refreshing and living waterToday these verses of living water were much needed. Yesterday, I suffered heartache from the unintentional words of a friend. This friend had received postcards from my daughter who have not heard from in months. She had no idea had hard it was for me to hear her words. My daughter and two sons lost their dad to cancer this past April. We had been divorced for over 16 yeas. Neither of us had remarried.... Read more »

colleen202 added a text contribution He delivers!God has answered a specific prayer. It was not the answer I thought it would be - but God knows me well. He knew exactly how to answer my prayer, knowing His way would be the best for me now. And as I look deeper, even the seemingly unanswered prayers of today, are His answer. "Wait on Me", He says. Waiting is part of the answer. All the while, He is protecting and rescuing me - many times from myself.... Read more »

colleen202 added a text contribution CommitCommit is one of those buzz words associated with long-term and forever, much like a vow. I realized reading Psalm 37 again tonight — that I commit to one thing or another without thinking that I am just doing that — committing is what I choose to do. Many times my committing is reaction instead of proaction. I allow my human selfishness to rule and squeeze out the Holy Spirit in reigning in me,... Read more »

colleen202 added a text contribution Good Things!This is one of my favorite Psalms. The Psalmist praises God for all He does and then writes a list of all the 'good things' God does. Today I reflect and praise God for all the many 'good things' He does for me. It is fascinating to me that the Psalmist lists those 'good things' as: 1) God forgives all my sins; 2) God heals all my diseases; 3) God redeems me from death; 4)God crowns me with love...

Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.19 I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. I am reformed shopaholic. For years I worked for a notable retail... Read more »

colleen202 added a text contribution Able to call Him, DaddyI come from a large family of nine. There was constant sibling rivalry and fighting. My father traveled for work and my mother drank away her sorrows. When I became an adult, I searched for love in all the wrong places, until I met Jesus Christ. I found a love like no other. Though I have strayed from my First Love, He has led me back time and again because He loves me. In Christ, I am a child of... Read more »

"And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. 9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
