All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
I WROTE A LETTER TO MY LOVE
ALLERGY WARNING: This writing may contain what some consider "mush."
Do not read if you have allergies to JOY AND THANKSGIVING without first applying eye drops or
"Mush Medication."
All kidding aside, this is what the Lord has done! He has restored a heart full of bitterness, anger and pain and turned much darkness into light. Almost three years ago this Born Again child wrote a letter to God and now He leads me to write another to share in heart felt thankfullness to His Glory.
PRAISE JESUS, I LOVE YOU LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS! ALL GLORY TO GOD!
DEAR GOD, MY HEAVENLY FATHER,
Today I watched a little girl at the waters edge, playing,laughing and giggling
she turned to wave to her parents not far away.
Oh Lord, this life is fleeting.
Memories flooded my mind
and it seems like only yesterday
that little girl was me.
I wondered what life had in store for this little one's journey through life.
What awaited her.
I prayed a little prayer for her life, and in my mind,my heart and my soul
I praised you for taking my hand and keeping me safe throughout all these years,
after my own little feet walked away from the sand and onto the destructive path that would lead me through trial and sin
before leading me back to you.
Before I kissed innocence goodbye!
Before disallusionment,disappointment,depression, abuse,
and looking for love that seemed unatainable.
Before I started to believe
that I was not worth loving or being loved.
Before I tasted the lies of this world.
Before tears,pain and crushed Spirit.
But Father, You were always there!
You never left my side even though I had left Yours.
Even all those years I was trying and thinking I could do things on my own
and when so many times I meant to do right but ended up doing wrong.
You always loved me, You were only waiting for the day that I would love You back.
Oh , how busy You were,protecting me and keeping me safe.
Keeping me from drowning in the torrents, keeping my head above water
so that I would not be lost forever.
Now here I stand Father God!
I do not wonder, when I walk along this beach,
where the other set of footprints went.
I KNOW how often You carried me.
I KNOW You never left me.
I KNOW that even though I will still face trials in this world,
there will be times when Your prints will be the only ones in the sand
while you carry me and make me strong when I am weak.
You Lord, are "GRACE BY THE LAKE."
By Your Grace I am saved and You have led the steps of my feet back to this shore.
The same shore where life was fresh and new as a child and has been made fresh and new
through Your love,
Your mercy and Your Grace,once again,
To bring Glory to Your Name.
Through this new life You have given me, YOUR WILL BE DONE,
Until we meet on that other shore.
AMEN!!
In Your Grace,
Your ever greateful Daughter,
Nancy

Do not be afraid. For I am with you. I am the Lord your God. And guess what? He sent us to listen and to be a friend. In good times and in bad times.
Winter and spring and summer and fall
we'll be here for each other through them all ! :)

I prayed on a rock overlooking lake huron 2and a half years ago. I was leaving here after spending two weeks holiday here to be with my mom as I had been doing every year but that year was different. I could barely leave. I did not want to. That day I prayed and asked God how many more times do I have to leave here? Will I ever be able to stay? I heard His voice whisper "within two years". He had already led me to a church here even though I had no real home church in calgary where I was living 1,700 miles away. Last year I had my flight booked for holiday but about a month before I had taken a shot in the dark. Leaving a note on a restaurant review site on line asking if they were hiring or knew someone in town who was. Had forgotten all about it til I prayed one night and asked god if it was his will for me to come here, I would need a door to open. I was soooo stuck in calgary, alberta, canada. I went into my email the next morning as I always did and ended up spilling my morning coffee when I saw an email that opened the door. I had a job if I wanted one here. It was almost exactly 16 months after that prayer on the rocks. This was clearly from god! Two weeks later I came across the meaning of my name, Nancy lynn. It was also clear confirmation that god did indeed have plans for me here. The meaning of my name is Grace by the Lake. THANKYOU FATHER! :D

Even after all the precautions, my eyes still watered. Thank you so much for you. In these new steps you are taking, I know you will be BOLD for Him and others. Although shy maybe apart of you, it does not keep you from the tasks He has for you to do.
Your brother in Christ
