We had a lively morning here. It was a morning which challenged me to make choices out of what I know to be true and what I know is an opportunity to love. A morning where the void of the original Eden was felt.
Alas, it was a morning. A morning I am thankful to have breath in my lungs and hope in my heart. My hopes heartbeat returned upon remembering these things…
Following is the prayer of my heart written in 2015
on the inside cover of my bound Holy Scriptures.
It too was written on the heels of a very trying morning…
a morning I am not meant to forget so that
in and through my all, Jesus can be given the Glory due Him.

What do you want from me Jesus, right now, with “this” ~ for forever?
Total dedication, not half-hearted commitment.
I recognize I am not to pick and choose among Your ideas taught and follow You selectively. I am to accept the cross along with the crown. Judgement as well as mercy. I must count the cost and be willing to abandon everything else that has given me “security.”
With my focus on You, Lord Jesus, and by the power given because Your Spirit desires this, I will allow nothing to distract me from living in the manner You call Good and True. <3 Kara Joy

oh but it does distract — yet it’s NOT my determination!

Since this has been true and I am but Your humble, broken, yet free and wholly loved daughter — through all “my” flops — I remain hid in You. I pen here because of Your reminder gift to me March 13, 2018. I remain and recommit in trusting You LORD, fully, with all my heart. Thank You for reminding me in the Spirit that thankfully I am not to depend on my understanding. I have sought You 200% and I will continue to seek You 200% and You WILL direct my path, regarding EVERY aspect of my life on earth. I love You Lord. k.joy
And with that, is anyone else with me? Even in you choose not to say so, while I’d love if you do, know you are not alone and Jesus with all the love He has for us, is worth our all. Be encouraged.
