Happy Memorial Day!

5/28/2012

I especially want to say a humble and awed thank you to those who served in the armed forces who suffered as prisoners of war, and those whose loved ones never came home from their service. I simply can not imagine making such an amazing sacrifice for anyone except my children.

Greater love has no man (or woman) than this: that he would lay down his life for his friend...or a stranger!

Prayer of The Surrendered

Heavenly Father I give myself to you once again.
Let your wondrous thoughts toward me be reflected in all of my being.
I give you my body.
Let it be clean and healthy inside and out.
I give you my emotions.
Let them be pure and authentic both in essence and expression.
I give you my mind.
Let it be thoughtful and intelligent, and always surrendered to your supreme authority.
I give you my spirit.
Make it alive with purpose.
Make it radiate your Love and desires, not just for me, but for all of mankind.
Make it penetrate the hearts of the loveless and the lost.
Make it the most beautiful aspect of my being, outshining mind, body and soul.
Make all that I am, yours once again.
In Christ's name, Amen

The RESULT of the Press[ure]...

According to Pandora, "Some things only get better in time :) Did you know that the diamonds on your jewellery took 1 billion years to form?"

Talk about ENDURING!!! Yikes!

And so we REALLY want to be a Woman of Honor, walking in God's Glory?!?! A diamond endures untold days of heat, pressure, isolation and obscurity in pure darkness in order to receive its brilliance, beauty and strength. And that is only a natural glory that may one day fade away. How much more is the cost of endurance for a Spiritual Glory that will never fade???

Make Mondays Matter

2019 Theme:
God Is Love
"And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." ~1 John 4:16-17

What's Love got to do with it? Love is complicated. Love is surprisingly simple. Love brings joy and grief, confusion and clarity. God's Love has been heatedly and widely debated. What does it or doesn't it look like? Is it free? Free for some and costly for others? Or none of the above? One thing I know for certain is that God's Love can never be comprehended, so I will never try to simplify it. What I have done is taken 12 passages from scripture that speak specifically to God's love...what it looks like, how He displays, shares, and withholds it, and exactly what He Himself has to say about it. At the same time, we will look at 12 separate passages that emphasize what our love should look like here in this world. So, join us each month beginning on January 7th as we touch the surface on why Love has everything to do with it!

Thank you all so much for your consistent readership and support on this journey. I look forward to another exciting year with each of you! If you would like to connect with me personally, or have questions or suggestions, please email me at dawn@costlyoillp.org. I would love to hear from you!

With Much Gratitude,
