Healing Rain...

This morning, as I layed down in bed thinking about my life at this very moment in time, how blessed I feel and realizing how far I've come compared to last year, I couldn't help but smile to God in gratitude for His wonderful mercies and how good He's been to me and for how much He's truly blessed me thus far. The nice thing too is that it's not over; He's not done with me yet. God has many more wonderful blessings in store for me which will be delivered in time as well as the plans He has for me will be revealed when He's ready... this I am confident of . I had three friends (Elina, Leiky and Gisela [Gri's mom]) on or around New Year's tell me that they felt2007 was my year and that they felt God had something special for me and that HE would bless me greatly... I believe this to be true myself and the notion gives me a tingly/fizzly feeling that I am enjoying very much. As I write down my thoughts I feel inspired as I listen to Michael W. Smith's beautiful song "Healing Rain", it has so much meaning to me right now... Lord, your "Healing Rain" has definitely reached out to me in various aspects and "I am not afraid to be washed in heaven's rain"...

Jesus, I thank You for Y O U ; for your friendship, for your acceptance and for molding my life, for your unfailing love and unfailing promises. Thank you Jesus for granting me the desires of my heart and for allowing for those desires to be steared toward Your Will.

Thank You Lord, for my family; for the support that they have given me during my hardest moments. For the wisdom that you continually give them so they can guide me and comfort me where I most need it, either emotionally, spiritually or financially... thank you!

I thank You for true F R I E N D S . You place them there in my life so that I am not left comfortless. Thank you for those that do pray for me with sincerity of heart and thank you for listening to them when they request for me...

Thank you for leading me to read "Healing Is A Choice" through my friend Tony. I will forever be thankful to him for sharing that secret/knowledge with me. I can feel and see the difference in my life. I feel the healing that has started taking place. I feel my heart becoming free of past burdens. Please continue guiding me in this process until You polish me, complete me, and transform me into a brand new person; the way You have always planned to see me turn out. I am enjoying this healing process very much. I can't wait to see the final outcome of Your great works! 

Thank you for blessing me tremendously with the job You've provided me with at TheraCare. I couldn't be any happier... words can not describe how thankful I am to YOU for this amazing blessing. 

Thank You for teaching me patience. This is a difficult process for me, but You are being patient yourself with me in regards to this and You've left me speechless as to how far You've brought me in this domain. Continue working in me until I am able to achieve a perfected heart and character full of patience, because I know how important this is in overcoming the obstacles of life. Without patience it would be impossible to accomplish success. 

Thank You Jesus for the opportunity You have given me to choose YOU and for placing in my heart the desire to seek You and put You first regardless of hardships and trials that I encounter along the way. I want You to keep me safe; keep me strong and loyal to you. Guard my heart, keep me growing daily in my relationship with You... may my faith and confidence in You strengthen and deepen as time passes. I want to continue claiming Your promises and trusting in Your Word and power! I love you J E S U S , I love you...

 "Sin and its ways grow old
All of my heart turns to stone
And I'm left with no strength to arise
How You need to be lifted high

Sin and its ways lead to pain
Left here with hurt and with shame
So no longer will I leave your side
Jesus, you be lifted high

You be lifted high
You be lifted high
You be lifted high in my life
Oh God
And I fall to my knees
So it's you that they see
Not I
Jesus, you be lifted high

And even now that I'm inside your hand
Help me not to grow prideful again
Don't let me forsake sacrifice
Jesus you be lifted high

And if I'm blessed with the riches of kings
How could I ever feel that it was me
For you brought me from darkness to light
Jesus, you be lifted high

You be lifted high
You be lifted high
You be lifted high in my life
Oh God
And I fall to my knees
So it's you that they see
Not I
Jesus, you'll be lifted high

Oh Jesus, you be lifted high
Oh you be lifted high
Oh you be lifted high in my life
Oh God
And I fall to my knees
So it's you that they see
Not I
Jesus, you be lifted high..." by Michael W. Smith
