GOD never STOPS being GOD, even if you feel like your LIFE is at a STANDSTILL. You WAIT. You TRUST. You BELIEVE. BUT all your hear is TICK. TICK. TICK. Tears stream down my face now, as I remember so many moments when I was so tired of THE WAIT, but now I am experiencing BLESSINGS because of all that GOD has done in THE WAIT. Oh how GOD does HIS best work in THE WAIT, when you are WAITING WITH GOD. Because GOD never tires of THE WAIT. TICK. TICK. TICK. As we continue our jo

HE told me once. HE told me twice. And HE won't stop telling me~ "I want ALL of you". BUT I respond with a "BUT GOD, what do you mean by my ALL? "JESUS replied: ’Love the LORD your GOD with ALL your heart and with ALL your soul and with ALL your mind'"(Matthew22:37).
