"MY LETTERS TO GOD"

Tuesday, June 30, 2015

Good morning, dear One! I have ached to write to You. I have made up letters to You in my mind and heart.....but, I haven't actually been able to put anything together. Today.....I have plugged in my "Hotspot" and I am going to get this done. I am. It is vital to my sanity today. I am anxious to give You praise and thanks for putting together this plan for my life.....(which for all intent and purpose).....is our life.......(John's and mine). I couldn't have thought of all of the nooks and crannies I have gone through. You always leave a level of wonder.......a smidgen of a question.....an aura of peaceful hope. And, it is in that place, I just try hard to lean back and depend on Your sustaining power to guide me into all the truth You have for me. I have to admit, Lord. I began to think that this whole scenario was a little odd.....even, out of sync with anyone else's thinking. Who plans major surgery in the middle of a major change in one's life. John's retirement, moving to a new place to live......in another state......packing up 50 some years of living......need I say more, Lord? I am stunned at what You plan and how You do it with such little fanfare. It's just "out there". And, as I nodded "yes" to surgery, I thought....."No one would plan this but You, Lord!" I do thank You for allowing me to have healed as nicely as I have plus working out all of the kinks that have fallen into Your plan.
Thank You, Father......for the years You have given us in the ministry. We have been so blessed in the churches You have allowed us to pastor. Thank You for giving my husband the wisdom, the energy, and the health to preach and teach Your story of salvation to so many people.....for so many years. You created a man of honor and distinction, who lives and breathes a sermon every day he lives. I am thankful that You insisted I share His life....and that he chose me to love 52 years ago. I am blessed and loved and have nothing but praise and thanksgiving for all You have allowed in our lives. (Smiling.....I say, the good, the bad and the ugly!)
I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

As I have mentioned to all of you, before......I want to tell you that I appreciate your purchase of my book, "My Letters to God". I have recently received the shipment of new books. If you would care to order, you can order on AMAZON.COM.......or you can order from HOPEFREELANCING.COM I want you to know I am honored by how many of you have purchased my book. scd

Introduction to "My Letters To God"

My letters to God came about by my need to communicate with Him on a regular basis. I needed to, as a christian, a wife and a mother notwithstanding, pray every day. As a young mother I found myself almost continually interrupted by my two little girls. All for necessary and legitimate reasons. You and I both know satan uses every trick in the book to keep us from communing with God and I felt that he was definately getting the upperhand. So, one day out of sheer desperation, I grabbed a sheet of paper or a notebook (I don't remember) and began to scribble out a prayer for God to come and rescue me. I needed to tell Him EXACTLY how I felt. I needed Him and felt that this was my only recourse. Invariably, before I started writing, when I was interrupted I hardly ever would go back to my devotion time. I'd forget where I was in my prayertime and it all seemed futile.....after all, the wash had to be done, the beds had to be made, baths needed to be taken care of.....etcettera.....etcettera....etcettera. After the first attempt, I tried it again and again until this wonderful habit was formed for me. I could literally stop mid-sentence and almost always go back , and pick up where I had left off. As I found my time with God lengthening because of my determination to do this, it ended up being my solace. Even with two more daughters and a son as the years went by. I often found that it was truly a wonderful thing when I would search for a word that described what I REALLY felt. Many times in my prayertime prior to this , I would skim over the

hard parts that would express my angst to Him sort of mumbling, "Lord, you know what I mean.....". I was so terribly desperate to express how I really felt. To that, I could only tell Him in my tears and fears and frustration hoping He would still love me. I'd reread sometimes and find that I was alot meaner than I knew He would be pleased with.....or, I was not as bad as I believed I was.

Writing to God has followed me into the years that the world says are the "senior years". It doesn't matter to me. As long as I can hold a pen and write Him all of my heart thoughts, the "mind stealers" will not deter me. I am determined to be God's instrument. I will blow my horn for Him as long as He gives me breath!

As I share my letters with you, past and present, may you find in Him the solace that you need. He will give that to each of us. This is my prayer.
