I would like to introduce to you Tiz. She is a Wife, Mother, and Grandmother. But most importantly, she is a Servant of the Lord.
And I am blessed to say that she will be a contributor to Prayerfully Yours. Today marks the first posting of Tuesdays with Tiz. I hope that God manifests Himself to you through her words, as He does to me. God uses Tiz in my life so often. I believe it is because she desires so deeply TO BE used by God.
And now I will get out of the way, and let Tiz have the floor.
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run, and not be weary;and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
"Father, I want to be your server today - what could I serve you?"
"Tiz, I want you to bring me a big bowl of TRUST, a plate of UNDIVIDED ATTENTION, a tall glass of PRAISE, a side order of WORSHIP and a bowl of COMMITMENT. All your service is to be JOYFUL. PEACEFUL, PATIENT, and with a GOOD ATTITUDE. All courses are to originate direct from MY WORD (no TV preacher, no good books, no opinions - yours or someone else's) I want you to be the Chef, the server and the dish washer. And for dessert I want another big bowl of TRUST!!!!!"
I thought this sounded like an awfully big order until He reminded me of the PRICE HE HAD PAID FOR IT!!!!!! - then all I could do was thank HIM for choosing ME to be his server.
You notice he did not ask me to bring him an order of LOVE - guess he just wants me to TRUST Him as much as I love Him.

I really like the word when it makes one think about what is said, this is just that very thought provoking thanks for some good food for thought.

I Love the word "TRUST"! Without it what would we have? Thanks Tiz for your entire post. I have found much comfort here today. I am being testing beyond belief...I feel frightened, sad, weary, and very alone. I can feel it right down to my bare bones. But I am doing my best to keep my eyes focused on Him, to keep my Trust. Sometimes it is very hard to do so when you feel like the world is falling in on you. :-(
Many Blessings to you.
Hugs,
Kimmie
