My Walk @ Talk..........~ My WILL your JOY ~

Where/How do i start......?
I'm struggling in an way how to "blog' and what to blog about?
When i opened this blog beginning of 2009...I gave it the name as you see "My Journey".
It was like an kind of "New years resolution" to put so to say "pen on paper" about the "thoughts @ directions" i get from God  while i'm traveling through 'life's Journey".

I felt God wanted to learn me about himself while blogging and encountering other "christians bloggers".
I tried to find my way through "blogland" and indeed learned alot and am still learning. Also i get  more and more encouraged to keep on focussing on God's will and goals for me and my family's life.......


I choose to link-up with meme's who stimulate my christian growth....; foccussing on the bible through verses.......On thursday's bringing thanks to the Lord and friday's focussing on prayer for and with eachother.

For some weeks now : I am debating in my mind to find an way how to share about ; "My walk and talk" so to say with The Lord......
It felt like God wants me to share it ...and He knows the purpose.......
I was debating about it because it feels strange to share those thoughts/prayers with the "outside world" ........My walk and talk!!??
I must say outside the linking-up posts i blog some  about topics that came to my mind.......i believe it was on fathersday and with some verses out of the bible what made me wonder......"Life's Journey.....~ My soul find rest in God Alone~" @"WOW " DEAR FATHER God
When i made those blogs i experience kind of victory over feelings of insecurity about my writings ( also not in my "native" language) and like after my "fathersdaypost" an release in my 'spirit' i was able to share and like "the Holy Spirit' could get more way in myself......
For me that i felt clearly an release of an "kind of bondage " made me think and pray more deeply ...and the same time my sister in Christ "One heart" shared about " Way of Worship" to the Lord.......

I believe that "My Walk and Talk " with The Lord.......;probably sharing my prayers and devotions of the day and my thought frame and maybe also the effect on my daily living .Must become the first priority on my blog....
It will give God's spirit more way overhere and also in myself.......
To Him and him Alone i want to bring Glory....In "My Walk" ;and blogging became an part of my walk in and with Christ......and "My Talk (prayers)" to the Lord.....i want to reflect my love to Him because HE LOVED ME FIRST!


On my shelf since my teen years was always an book "God's Calling" Now i know that is the original name because i encountered it in the dutch version" Jezus Spreekt"

I got it from my "great aunt " Esselien " I can picturing her dancing or playing music or singing now or chatting with the Lord because she loved to chat....Also with me as an child....Really found memories to recall. My favorite time was to sleep with her in her "master-bed" in the afternoons or evenings chatting a long try to get her attention while she was reading or writing in her dairy or writing  with her 'penpals' all over the world........
One day i recall i asked her why she reads "Jezus Spreekt" every day and she told me about the book...the history and that it inspires her especially that it where messages to 2 woman who wanted to listen to The Lord and follow.......and that is what she want also for her life.......
So i began to read also in it and one day she gave me one as present..... and that was before my traveling to Europe......Along those years i have seasons of not looking in it but there are periods and days i see it and pic it up........
There is now also an companion book "God at Eventide"
So today i share out of this book
 

My Will - Your Joy

Our Lord and our God. Lead us, we beseech Thee. Lead us and keep us.

You can never go beyond My Love and Care.  Remember that.  No evil can befall you. Circumstances I bless and use must be the right ones for you.

But I know always that the first step is to lay your will before Me as an offering, ready that I shall do what is best, sure that, if you trust Me, what I do for you will be best.

Your second step is to be sure, and to tell me so, that I am Powerful enough to do everything ("The hearts of kings are in My rule and governance"), that no miracle is impossible with me ("With God all things are possible" and "I and My Father are one").

Then leave all with Me. Glad to leave all your affairs in a Master Hand. Sure of safety and protection. Remember you cannot see the future. I can.

You could not bear it. So only little by little can I reveal it to you. Accept My Will and it will bring you joy.

The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. Psalm 121:5

Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.    Jude 1:24-25

( Today's reading out of an devotional book " God Calling" )

Thank You Father, Thank You Lord Jesus, Thank You Holy Spirit
I worship and honour You this moment
Your Word Father is precious to me and like water to quench my thirst.......
Your LOVE and CARE Lord will be always there for me.....NO evil will befal me......
Circumstances you are blessing and using.........
Oh Lord HAVE YOUR WAY ..........
I TRUST MY LIFE and of my loved ones in YOUR hands our present and future ....Yes Lord you know BEST and are the beginning and the end of everything and of our life's.....
Quench our thirst with YOUR  Word of wisdom....with Your Word of Life....with Your living Word Your Son Jesus Christ........Have Your Way Lord Jesus take in Your place ALL Your place...
Captivate our hearts and mind..........
Your love for us Lord Jesus is what our hearts need
Your love Lord blows my mind away and made me stretch my hands up to You Lord Jesus as reverence Lord that i need You more than ever and that i adore and worship YOU.
Yes lord i am nothing without You.
Forgive me Lord for all the times i am seeking my own will...going my own way.......
Take my will and align it with our Father's will.....Break what needs to be broken.....cut what needs to be cut of ...........
Let your spirit come down and flow Lord freely in our Life.......
Have Your way.......
Let Your Joy  and Peace be ours in all circumstances 
Thank You Lord Haleluya 
Amen 

From an devotion to study in the bible..........

Eternal Life June 27
ETERNAL Life is a matter of VISION.

Spiritual Vision is the result of knowledge
which engenders further knowledge.

"And this is Life Eternal ... to know Thee
the only True God and Jesus Christ Whom Thou
has sent."Eternal Life.

Eternal in so far as the quality, the character
of the Life Is concerned. Being of God it implies
immortality.
It is My Gift of the Life that is Mine. Therefore
it must be Power-Life. This is your Life, to
absorb, to live in, and through.
"He that believeth bath eternal life."
God At Eventide A Companion Volume To God Calling 
 

I let this devotion "sink in" this sunday afternoon and did an surge in 'biblegateway' on the word knowledge
There are an lot of verses on this subject but 2 peter 1 confirmed to me what was said in this devotion!
We need to look always in our bibles if what we hear or read is sustained by it.......

2 Peter 1 (The Message)

 ^1-2I, Simon Peter, am a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. I write this to you whose experience with God is as life-changing as ours, all due to our God's straight dealing and the intervention of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Grace and peace to you many times over as you deepen in your experience with God and Jesus, our Master.
[ NIV  ²Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.] 

Don't Put It Off

 ^3-4Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.  ^5-9So don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can't see what's right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.
 [ NIV  ⁵For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; ⁶and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; ⁷and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. ⁸For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.]

 ^10-11So, friends, confirm God's invitation to you, his choice of you. Don't put it off; do it now. Do this, and you'll have your life on a firm footing, the streets paved and the way wide open into the eternal kingdom of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ.

To put the words of both the NIV and The message version beside eachother made me understand the "GROWTH" ( maturing in my experience with our Master Jesus )better ....

Thank You Lord Jesus for Life...for eternal Life for our daily life with and through You and You alone.
Grant us more and more knowledge of You and form our character.
let self-control,perseverance,godliness,kindness and love be seen in us everyday of our life. Amen

Watchword for the Week -- If we live by the Spirit, let us also be
guided by the Spirit. Galatians 5:25

1 Kings 19:15-16,19-21; Psalm 16
Galatians 5:1,13-25; Luke 9:51-62

We have all become like one who is unclean and all our righteous deeds
are like a filthy cloth. Isaiah 64:6

The Son of God had provided purification for sins. Hebrews 1:3 (NIV)

Lamb of God, your love for us is evidenced in your dying for us while we
were still sinners. Through your death we are reconciled. Open our
hearts and search our ways so we may accept this gift so freely given.
Amen.  

Worship to The Lord ~ Psalm 51....Song.....Isa 64:8 ~

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.    

Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me

And grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you. 

O Lord, open my lips,

 and my mouth will declare your praise.

You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;

 you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart,

 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father.  We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. – Isa 64:8

Fearless Friday ~ prayer for an strong " 91 year old " woman! ~

An picture made on my "nene" Dina's 90th birthday exactly 1 year ago.
God added another year to the life of this STRONG WOMAN.As i called her always
" MY NENE DINA "
She carried me around as an baby.....
She wiped my tears away as an child.
She laughed with me and had an listening ear for me
She teached me about God.
She learned me to pray
She helped me with my school work
She brought me to painting lessons and music lessons...
She learned me to cook delicious dishes and gave me this example in her kitchen

She called me her Granddaughter.
She spoke wise words to me as an teen and as an adult.
She prayed for me and always says she prays for me and my family.
I knew and know she has me in her heart and SO DO I !

On this FEARLESS FRIDAY


Pray with me over her her "Year psalm" 91

Because "Nene" Dina dwells in the secret place
Of the Most High,
  She shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

She will say of the Lord,
You are My Refuge and my Fortress:
My God;
In You will I trust.

Surely You will deliver me from
The snare of the fowler,
And from the deadly pestilence.

You shall cover me with Your feathers,
And under Your wings shall I trust.
Your truth shall be my shield and buckler.

I shall not be afraid of the terror by night;
Or of the arrow that flies by day;

Or of the pestilence that walks in darkness;
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at my side,
And ten thousand at my right hand,
But it shall not come near me.

Only with my eyes will I behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because I have made the Lord,
Who is my Refuge,
Even the Most High,
My dwelling place,

There shall no evil befall me,
Neither shall any evil come near my house.

For You shall give Your angels charge over me,
To keep me in all of my ways.

They shall bear me up on their hands,
Lest I dash my foot on a stone.

I shall tread upon the lion and adder;
The young lion and the serpent
I shall trample under foot.

Because I have set my love upon You,
Therefore You will deliver me.

You will set me on high,
Because I have known Your Name.

I shall call upon You,
And You will answer me.
You will be with me in trouble;
You will deliver me,
And honor me.

For the rest of my  life You will satisfy me,
And show me Your salvation.

 Amen Amen

Peace of The lord will be with her in 

Jesus Name Amen

For more fearless Friday and for your prayer request head over to " Free Spirit Haven" or post your request overhere in my comments. I set this day aside to pray with other bloggers and am honored to do so for you.

Have an blessed day and great weekend!

Updated the post some hours later 

I love to see God's Word on my blog and this vers(es) i am also THANKFUL for today!!
I read them probably more than once before but never in the "Message version" and today it was brought under my attention.......

Romans 8:28-38 (The Message)

 ^26-28Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

 ^29-30God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.

 ^31-39So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

   They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
   We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

 

WFW ~ Faith like an Mustard seed ~

Yesterday's blogpost made me remember that my faith was once like an Mustard seed!



Luke 17:5, 6 – The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Many times we talk about having small faith, faith so small that it would move mountains. We’re not wrong… but God wants us to grow in our faith. God wants us to grow our faith in Him. A mustard seed is known to be one of the smallest seeds in the world, but when it grows, it grows into a huge tree, strong, with a large canopy.

Mustard tree

See, God wants us to exercise our faith. It’ll start small, but as we walk in faith with Him everyday, it will grow. It HAS TO grow. God will not increase our faith for us. Faith has to come from within us, only by knowing how good and faithful God is.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. The more we fill ourselves with God’s Word, the stronger our faith will become, even more so when we recognize that our God is a BIG and AWESOME God who is capable of anything and everything.
( taken out of this)

For more WFW link-up at the internet cafe

In Other Words Tuesdays ~" Control" verses FAITH....~

If you would like to participate in this week's quote, please visit the hostess' blog. If you would like to know more information about this group of Christian writers, click on In Other Words

One of Eve’s biggest mistakes was she stopped and started to think about what Satan was saying and it made sense to her. Not everything God tells us makes sense but that’s where faith comes in. We need to learn to be lead by our hearts and not our heads. Joyce Meyers

This quote came under my attention and kept lingering to think about it...

There came an internal talk with myself......... "This mistake you made and are making...still...."
Yes Lord that is my weak spot to grow fully....to mature as an Christian to be reliable to be used........!!
" In some area's you have faith in me and in other ones not...."
" You love to have control still in some area's in your life..........."
"Have faith....let go.......give me all your TRUST..........."

I "sapped" my thought away and go further with my day .......
Later on i came accross other sisters who are posting and linking-up and i started to be more drawn to think this more over.........

What make me as an human ( person) "walk easily" by using my  common sense.....? 
Than to walk in Faith??........

When looking at myself ........I believe it is how my mind was formed a long those years........
What out-weighed more...to stuff my mind with along those years.....The TRUTH OF GOD or THE TRUTH OF THE WORLD??
Today i praise God that i came in contact with His Word as an child and was put on an path to become an christian.........
But the impact of school,tv and all influenses of society was and  is great.......
During my up-bringing and life was MORE stimulated to use common sense and not to have faith.....
 Maybe FAITH  IN MYSELF was stimulated ......and in THAT i found the clue.........
I struggle and wonder frequently  why i get un-comfortable in situations...... My mind....MADE ME BELIEVE that i haveNO CONTROL!! 

When you can let go of the idea that it is possible  to control things to manipulate situations and people..........In fact when we do that we want to become God....( but God is not manipulating but drawing us with LOVE....)
Instead we need to TRUST and BELIEVE GOD and His Truth and ways.......!!
I always called myself when looking back now an "head christian"....at first and than GOD touched in His Grace and Mercy one moment my heart with His LOVE and I could do nothing else than say YES LORD I CHOOSE to follow........put my trust and believe in YOU...........HELP ME because by myself i can't...........and from there FAITH started to GROW......... .
MY FAITH really started as an mustard seed, and i praise God for that  and His never letting go and daily leading.

Matthew 17:20 (The Message)

 ²⁰"Because you're not yet taking God seriously," said Jesus. "The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, 'Move!' and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn't be able to tackle."
 

FATHERSDAY MESS(AGE) 2010 !!

Proverbs 17:6 (New Living Translation)

 ⁶ Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
      parents are the pride of their children.

My Dad with my kids

My thoughts where drawn to my dad when i was reading blogposts for fathersday.

I must confess that i TOTALLY forgot that fathersday is tomorrow.

I am still wondering if the date to celebrate this day is the same all over the world.....LOL

My kids did not hear anything about it on school either......

Well i guess i extend to celebrate fathersday in our house to probably next week to be honest....but i know my husband would say "Don't bother..."

So to come back to THE REASON of this post is to put my thoughts on paper about my dad and so honour him because God says in THE BIBLE

Exodus 20:12 (The Message)

¹² Honor your father and mother so that you'll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you.

This picture says ALOT about my dad and expresses his heart.This i realized when i start an surge what picture i have from my dad on my computer and saw it

It is an picture made on our last visit to my birthcountry ( longer than 6 years ago ).

My dad has an heart for children........My foundest thoughts of my dad was as an child......

My dad loves to teach about nature......to appreciate it and see the beauty in it......

He always said to me as his only child "You are the apple of my eye"!

I did not understand the depth of what he said until .....i left my parents as an young adult to come and life in Holland.

"His apple of his eye" was now far away and it caused a lot of pain in all those years....

I did not understand but now as a parent i can look at it differently

.

I appreciate and love my dad for  who he is "MY DAD"
Given by God to me ! 

When i thought as an child, as an teen as an adult my dad is JEALOUS.....

When i prayed/ pray about it i hear "Why it makes you angry.."??!!.........His acts are his way of showing love.... I LOVE YOU  THAT MUST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH  and so thus your dad !!. I am also an jealous God......."

Exodus 34:14 (New International Version)

¹⁴ Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

I learn an great lesson in my relationship with my dad ( both my parents) What an important role an parent has......

TO PICTURE to our kids THE CARACTER of GOD!! No matter our imperfections as parents....God brings out ALWAYS an message out of an "mess"!!

THAT is what i realized on this fathersday of 2010

God said to me began to write...... Your mind or heart can feel or even see an "MESS" when thinking of your relationship with your dad but there is an MESSAGE in it when you talk it over with ME( your heavenly dad) while you writing........

I love you dad for who you where, are and will be !!

 Lord, I Thank you for my dad
Please take care of him
He is getting older,
but he is still brave and bold
Please take care of him 

Thank you, friend Jesus,
for my father who loves me,
and for God, my eternal father,
who made me and is always with me.

And THANK YOU LORD for loving

immensely both my dad and myself !
How Blessed I am!
Amen

 

Lyrics:
Oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.

He is jealous for me.
He loves like a hurricane.
I am a tree, bending beneathg the weight of His wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions - eclipsed by glory.
And I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me.

And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.

He loves us so.
He loves us so.
He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.

We are His portion.
He is our prize.
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes.
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.

And then heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss.
My heart turns violently inside of my chest.
And I don't have time to mantain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us.

Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.

And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.

Come and join us in doing this !


When i hear "The Lord's Prayer song" in the language of my birthcountry " Surinamees" it touched me deeply.......
This morning when looking it up it strucked me to see how an "Dutch children choir" sang this song as beautifull.......as Surinamees speaking choirs would bring it......


Like i heard an "wispering in my ear": " It doesn't matter in what language or who is singing and worshipping me.......I look at the hearts ....of who is uttering the words and i bless the persons.... and who is listening to it can experience my anointing....." 

Be blessed to hear nd sing " The Lord's prayer " In Surinamees and in Dutch.......

I took better notice of this artist when i went for an surge for an song with the words " I WILL NOT BE MOVED" last thursday. I found her singing a song with this tittle........The lyrics and the story behind the song touched me more than the song itself ...........But there are other ones more to my tast like "Held" and " The Real Me..."
You can find them all on this playlist with many of her songs So listen to all and be blessed by her amazing and deep lyrics full of God's Word and wisdom.

FEARLESS FRIDAY ~ WE WILL NOT BE MOVED ! ~

“They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8 NLT

I ( WE ) Will Not Be Moved



Natalie Grant

I ( WE ) have been the wayward child


I  ( WE ) have acted out


I ( WE ) have questioned Sovereignty


And had my ( OUR )  share of doubt


And though sometimes my ( OUR )  prayers feel like


They're bouncing off the sky


The hand I ( WE )  hold won't let me ( US ) go


And is the reason why ...






I ( WE ) will stumble


I ( WE )  will fall down


But I ( WE )  will not be moved


I  ( WE ) will make mistakes


I ( WE )  will face heartache


But I ( WE ) will not be moved


On Christ the Solid Rock I  ( WE ) stand


All other ground is sinking sand


I ( WE ) will not be moved
