This is chickie & i got it yesterday from my new kind acquintances. They are such warm & hospitable people. My heart is overwhelmed of the goodness of God that flows through these people. I am exceedingly grateful to my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ for everything that i may experienced last weekend.
I intend to make pictures of chickie in many places but she's so fragile. Pretty sure, she'll not last that long. Anyway, attached to chickie is a testimony of God's grace in my life. In my last blog article, i wrote about words that don't just roll off. I have issues on this in my life. It is an old sinful habit of mine which brought me a lot of troubles too. I kinda didn't care about my words. What would others say affected me somehow but thinking that my words would affect them as well was not something i did consider. After all, i perceived myself to be generally tactful, honest & one who just simply speaks truth. The bible is clear though about words. They aren't just words, they are deep waters. We speak what our hearts are full of. My heart is full of insincerity. I'm one who lacks integrity & is blatantly tactless at times. It might be little things but those who are faithful with little can be trusted with much. My saying yes did not always mean a yes and my no was not always a no. I was quick in giving promises which is evil according to scriptures. (Look Matt. 5:347) Sin devastates and truly this habit brings me again and again to some level of sadness which grounds i'm unaware of. The Lord has His loving way of reminding me. I came along preachings on taming our tongue and the Holy Spirit moves in me. He reveals to me my need to change, my need to tame my tongue. To repent of my old sinful habit of not keeping my word. Then the Lord has given me one big opportunity to practice integrity. The telephone rang last Friday evening. It was a friend who asked me to accompany her on a road trip. I was not originally on the plan but her friend who's supposed to be coming couldn't make it. That her friend did cancel is surely not a coincident. For this reason she has to get back to my offer of assistance for her move to Stuttgart. I was exceedingly thankful to Jesus because it was for me an answer to a prayer. I asked the Lord to teach me how to live a life of integrity as this is His will. By the time she asked me, i have two options: to stay because i will miss my husband so badly or to keep the word which i have spoken. I bless the Lord for His faithfulness. He answers prayer. I know that in the days to come i will not always remember & do what is right. His grace is enough for me. I know that my Lord is so faithful & good & i can fully rest & trust in Him. He proves himself faithful time and time again. Praise the Lord, forevermore. Exodus 14:14 says; The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
