Peanutbutter crackers, a Dr. Pepper and God!

Visual Poetry - ImageChef.com


HALLELUJAH!

I'm so overwhelmed with our Lord right now that my fingers are CRAZY on this keyboard right now. He's just too much for my little bitty brain right this second. Oh, but I love Him and wouldn't trade Him for anything!

Had Bible study at my house this morning. We have gone completely nuts and are doing Beth Moore's "Wising Up" that has NO HOMEWORK people. I'll just confess that I'm a little nuts right now bc I have nowhere to channel this nuttiness that is in my head with all that we are learning. Beth, could you whip up some homework for our group real fast and email it to me??!! Thank you! :)

I've always got 5001 things to say but I'm gonna say this simply with my peanut butter cracker crammed in my mouth and my DP close by......I'm skipping a real lunch so I can get this down!

OUR HEART IS EVERYTHING TO HIM!!!!

What does your heart say about you? Lets see for a quick second and then I'm done......

1. Do you give HIM your ENTIRE heart?? Or just pieces??

2. Do you have an anxious heart?? If so, throw Him your concerns bc when we do not....we have some control issues going on between me and Him.

3. Do you have an isolated heart?? Noone will ever get our situation or ordeal like we do. We should not be surprised when we fell misunderstood. HE is the only one who knows why we do the things we do. Be joyful in all our daily situations. We have resurrection power girls!! USE IT!

4. Do you have a hope sick heart??? Have you waited so long for something that you've lost hope?? Remember Abraham? He waited FOREVER for that 1st son. He finally had him and named him Isaac.....which means laughter. The laughter and joy will come. Hang in there sisters. And, it will be good.

5. Do you have a hardened heart?? Oh, do I know how to do this one. I can cut you off just as quick as I let you in. If you have betrayed me, hurt me, or done anything that is just "not nice"
then I can cut you off. Now, I may have done the big girl thing and forgiven and even prayed for you. But, let me remind us all.....our heart cannot and will not be hardened. Let Jesus tend to that heart. Restore that person. "Anyone that hates is a murderer!" 1 John 3 tells us! YIKES!
Let me love them through the healing name of Jesus.

Give Him your WHOLE HEART! Mess and all. He wants the entire thing so He can do His healing magic and tend to that treasure He has placed within us.

Me and Him gotta do some work together on this one. I bet you do too. Stay faithful friends.
He does.

Blessings~

I always get more than I am able to comment on with your sweet posts, but I have to tell you--pb crackers and DP speak to my heart too. I have eaten that more for lunch than I care to admit. Mike went up to Waco and brought home some REAL Dr.Pepper made with cane sugar that you can only get there at the plant where it was invented. Wished I could share one with you. Hugs, annie

Bev Brandon @ The Fray said...

Ezek 11:19 - I love your undivided heart for HIM---it's so the desire of your heart and may you see HIM Fran doing that for you. He is! You have such a beautiful heart. Thanks for praying for me...stuck home one more day, hoping to make it to Houston tomorrow.

"Do you have a hardened heart?? Oh, do I know how to do this one. I can cut you off just as quick as I let you in. If you have betrayed me, hurt me, or done anything that is just "not nice"

Do you think there is a possibility that we are long-lost sisters? Sounds just like me!

Lysa TerKeurst said...

Matthew 5:8 says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see Him." Sounds like you are seeing some major glances today and that is so very exciting!

Keep it pure girl and amazing things will happen!!!

Unknown said...

Thank you for this...seriously!

I am praying for you Frannie! NOW!

Father, in Jesus name I ask that you would fall heavily upon Fran right now. Father, I thank you for giving her this opportunity and I thank you that you will be faithful to the work you have begun in her. I thank you that you have given her a word for the women this weekend and I ask that you would continue to move in her mind as she serves you. I also pray that her next day will run smoothly with no extra crazies that can sometimes happen in life. Keep her family safe and healthy and keep them all in your grip. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Love you Fran...PREACH it!
