Its just a game of... Hide & Seek

If I hide...will you seek me??

Will you search for me, no matter how long it takes??

I wait for you alone in the dark...

its the perfect hiding place & you'll never find me.

...but I hope you do.

I wait forever for you (Literally!),

but you never come.

When were the roles reversed?

When did the hider suddenly become the seeker??

But I promise you this:

I will search for you and never stop.

Cause, for you, I will search every corner of the earth.

For you, I will stop hiding in my shadows of shame and fear.

Because, for you, I would do anything, 

I would give anything...even my life. 

Ready or not...here I come. 

Child lift up your head....

   Sometimes this world does unbelievable, unspeakable things to the ones we love and to us. And we can't understand why this is happening to us, why this is happening to them....???

'It's not FAIR!!" I shout at the sky, in my room on my knees crying out to God. With my lips I don't blame Him but in my heart I am asking 'Why? Why did this have to happen??" I ALWAYS get an answer from God... even if its not always the one I want to hear. He says "Trust in me, Trust me with this. I will carry this for you. Just give it over to me. Surrender to me! And watch what I can do." 

We serve an understanding God... Amen! No matter how many times we hang our head in shame at the things we have done in our past He lifts us up and reminds us that He has set us free! We are no longer held down by the chains of sin, we are washed pure, sanctified by His blood. And I know His blood will never lose its power to heal the brokenhearted, to heal the sick, & to convict the lost. Our God is not limited! Let Him use you for His glory!!

Redeemed by Big Daddy Weave

Seems like all I can see was the struggle

Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past

Bound up in shackles of all my failures

Wondering how long is this gonna last

Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son

Stop fighting a fight that's already been won"

I am redeemed, You set me free

So I'll shake off theses heavy chains

Wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be

I am redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy

Named by the voice of my shame and regret

But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head"

I remember oh God, You're not done with me yet

Don't let your past stop you from being used by God. He created us with a purpose. If you're 5 or 100, God can use you. Don't give up...just give in. Give in to His love and strength. His way is perfect.... 

HE is coming back QUICKLY!!

The Lord is coming quickly. Are you ready?? It breaks my heart when I think about all the ones I love who are lost and not ready for what is coming. I thank my Jesus, my Savior for dying on that cross and shedding His precious blood for my salvation. But, lately, after seeing all of these prophecies come to pass, I have been thanking Him more and more that He is coming back for me... He is coming to take me home!
 Have you forgotten that this is not our home??  

 ^"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." James 5: 7&8

One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord. So why wait?? 

I love this song by Anthony Evans "I Choose Now!" 

I don’t want tragedy to be the only Thing that leads me to your throneWith every moment of my life With pain or joy I will cryYou are God alone You’ve given me the choice to kneel or walk awayI’ve struggled with surrender long enough to say

I choose nowTo be humbled in your presenceI choose nowTo fall on my faceCause one dayEvery knee will bow but JesusI choose now.
Lord, open our hearts, our minds, our ears, our understanding to your coming. Prepare us Lord Jesus, Give us your Strength and Comfort to continue each day striving for more of You.

'Forgiven'

This is the cover and a quick look inside my 2nd book 'Forgiven' Enjoy!

   Collin wanted to yell in frustration! He was so close to finding Ember. He thought about yelling her name or calling Derek out, but before his thoughts could turn into words he was attacked from behind. Collin was on the ground but he didn't stay down. He couldn't see who or what he was fighting but he didn't care. He threw his weight against the person to throw them off balance; swung and missed a few times but finally made contact. It was like a blind rage had taken over Collin’s body, he couldn't concentrate on anything else except defeating what was right in front of him. 
If he had been aware what was going on around him, Collin would have heard Derek telling them to stop. Yelling at Carmen to back off but she wasn't listening, it was all a game to her.
Finally, the blackness receded from around Collin’s eyes and he saw who he was fighting. His pause gave her the exact opening to tackle him to the ground again. She attacked him at the waist, straddled him with her legs, and put her hand at his throat. With a look of triumph and satisfaction she asked Derek, “Did you know this ’boy’ was following us?” 
    “Yes. I was hoping he would get lost or give up.” Derek answered her irritated.
Up close Collin could see he was wrong. The girl with Derek was not a girl at all. She was his age, her tiny frame had fooled him. And as he stared up at her she wasn't just merely pretty…she was exquisite. Her skin gave proof of her Hispanic origin with its perfectly, evened sun-kissed, sandy desert skin. Her lips were full with a deep rose hue, and those eyes…those eyes that could catch the slightest movement darted back and forth taking everything in. She had the darkest, almost black, eyes Collin had ever seen. 
   “Carmen! Get off of him!” Derek was clearly furious with her. 
    “Aw… but I was having so much fun.”
