I am awestruck by the overwhelming goodness of our precious Lord Jesus. Exactly one year ago this month our first book, Adventures with Abba, came available to the public. It was a long rigorous journey, but God is faithful in bringing about His word.

Many years ago, the Lord laid on my heart to write down all these adventures He led us through and revealed to us. One Sunday evening, a guest speaker came to minister at our church. After the sermon, he proceeded to call a few people out of the congregation to prophecy over them. Unsuspectingly, he pointed directly toward me. 

"You, yes, you! The Lord wants to tell you something," he began, taking me by the hand and leading me to the front.

Instantly, I started weeping, knowing deep in my spirit God was about to reveal His word to me.

"You are a writer," he continued. "Just as God told Habakkuk in Habakkuk 2:2, you are write the vision. Make it clear so those who read it may run with it. The revelation is yet for an appointed time. You are to keep a pen and tablet by your bed. Be ready to write down all the things the Lord is showing you."

Even though I had never told anyone except my pastor, this evangelist reiterated everything God had already spoken to my heart. Adventures with Abba is the fruition of the Lord's instructions.

We serve a Faithful God. In HIS time, He brought His work into completion. Why He chose my husband and me to speak to and through, I'll never understand. We are nothing on our own. We are like a conduit, a faucet through which the living waters of the Holy Spirit can flow. No one ever praises the faucet! It's the water which brings refreshing, thirst-quenching relief to the dry, parched soul.

Be encouraged today! Whatever assignment God has given you to do, be assured He will bring it into fruition in HIS time. Never give up! Don't let Satan or anyone else sway you from your goal. Abba Father is helping you accomplish His will and His word in your life. Hold tight to His promises, and in the proper time, He will bring it to completion. 

On May 25, 1973, my husband Corbett and I pledged our love for one another in holy matrimony. To honor or our 42 wedding anniversary Adventures with Abba Kindle version is going on sale for only $0.99 May 22 - 25. Get it while you can at a rediculously low price!

Remember playing "hide and seek" as a child? Hiding your eyes, you would count to ten while everyone else scampered frantically, finding the perfect place to hide. Completing your countdown, you yell out, "Ready or not, here I come!"

According to everything I've read and understand about the end times. No one knows the specific day or time, however, I believe Jesus is coming very soon to take the church out of here. Oh, what a glorious day that will be! What joy, gladness, excitement, and elation as we see our Savior face to face. He is returning for those who are watching and waiting for Him.

It's as if Jesus is standing with one foot in heaven and the other is ready to step over the boundary into the atmosphere and shout, "Come up here with Me!"

I Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be wit the Lord." The Bible tells us to encourage one another with these words. One of these days, Jesus will shout, "Ready or not, here I come!

Are you ready?

Have you ever had a bad habit, something in your life you knew you needed to quit or get rid of but couldn't seem to shake? Mine was putting up with drivers who had no business being on the road. "That so-in-so better drive it or park it. Why don't they either give up their license or go back to driver's training school. Where did they get their license anyway, Walmart?"

Ecclesiastes 7:9 declares, "Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry; for anger rests in the bosom of fools." Ouch! How quick we are to get angry at others when we ourselves can be just a guilty in other areas. The Lord really convicted me of this. Personally, I would rather not have anger rest in my bosom (spirit). We are to be a light in a dark world, the salt of the earth. How can we be light and salt if we have anger in our spirit.

The old saying goes, "It's better to keep quiet while people wonder who's the fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." What rests in your bosom?

Can we walk without fear while in the midst of the fire?

Thousands of people anxiously watched as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, hands tied securely behind their backs, were led down a long wooden-planked ramp into a large earthen oven. Flames shot out of the oven, so intense, the soldiers standing near the opening were overtaken by the immense heat and collapsed.

I watched the three young men joyfully walk toward the fiery furnace. A bounce in their steps, they praised God as they went. Without hesitation, the brave young zealots sprang into the blazing inferno, seemingly elated to suffer for their Master. Instantly, Jesus appeared alongside them in the towering hellhole.
"Adventures with Abba"

Isaiah 43:1-3
Fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by name; you are Mine. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you, for I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

No matter what you're facing, Jesus, your Conquering King, is doing battle for you. Nothing is too great or small for Him to be concerned. As you come to Him with childlike faith, you can rejoice and walk in victory. You can trust Him. Your King has already won the battle. Now walk in the victory He has provided.
