Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
When I first prayed about healing, I was trying to create the right attitude in myself. I wasn't willing to unveil my confusion before Him because I knew what He wanted from me. Instead of struggling, I should have come to Him openly and allowed Him to change my heart and faith. When He says He knows our needs, that doesn't just mean He knows our physical and emotional needs. Above all else, He knows our spiritual needs, and He will certainly help our unbelief or our mixed up priorities...
He also says, "I know the plans I have for you..." I need only to surrender my heart and life to Him so that He can showmen me those plans. There is more about those plans. I think it says something to the effect of "plans to prosper you ..." I don't always look at the word "prosper" in the same way He does. In this culture, its surface meaning is success, lots of money,good health... Beneath the surface, it is spiritual maturity and a close, active relationship with our Father. It means experiencing His love in completeness.
