Wise Words From Becky
Friday, April 01, 2011 Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Deep. When I see these words I see the “those” who are deep in life, deep in the world, deep in darkness. The “those” who are directionally challenged at one single moment in existence. The “those” alone. The “those” who think they are un-liked or unloved. The “those” in a difficult relationship. The “those” who in spite of those circumstances, they look toward heaven and find their hope. Then, in the second of surrender to the Father Almighty!!!! It happens. RENEWAL! Renewed spirit. And with that comes the strength to go on. Who can explain the love of Jesus and surrender but when it happens, Oh Boy! Ever watch a new believer? It’s almost comical, no really it is. But in a good way. They soar like nothing can touch them. They are moving as fast as they can to get more. They are full of joy and love. Then of course real life shows up and the trueness of who He is and where our strength comes from is then revealed. In the quiet of our hearts we know we can get thru most of life, our spirit then soars. Our spirit then doesn’t grow weary. Our spirit is not faint because we have hope in the Lord! Father thank you so much for the love you have shown me! Thank you thank you thank you for giving me your peace, your strength. Thank you for the Holy Spirit who guides me. Thank you for your son! I love you. Amen.
Have A Blessed Sunday
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
4"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Daddy Update
 |
| Allyson loves her Papaw Mac! |
Daddy continues to be very sick. The Hospice nurse has been in constant contact with me, for which I am forever thankful. She visited yesterday and reassured me that I was doing all the things I needed to be doing for him at this point. This is a step toward his home going and he may or may not return to a better state of health.
The morning hours and evening hours are the worst for him. The mid section of the day seems to be better. I continue to give him meds from his comfort kit. His appetite is down sharply and he isn't complaining about having to take the meds, which tells me he's really suffering because he usually does not like taking extra medications.
We no longer leave him alone, even for a just a short while because he is so weak and staggers about a lot. I've tried to get him to use his walker, but he is very resistant to that. Hospice will begin on Monday making 4 visits per week, 2 by the nurse and 2 by the CNA, as well as extras as needed. Also, a Hospice physician will be visiting on Tuesday to examine him and see is any medication changes are needed.
For now, he is resisting a hospital bed, so we will put that off for a bit longer. The nurse assured me that one could be delivered and set up at a couple hours notice, so I know it will be available when he is ready for it. I've been working on getting his room better situated for the things we will have to have available is he becomes bed bound. I already have a tray table, bedside potty chair and other things necessary for taking care of him so we'll have the equipment we need when it becomes necessary.
Please continue to pray for Daddy, as well as me and my family. This is not an easy time, but very little of life is easy. Our main concern is to keep Daddy as comfortable as possible and to care for him in a way that would honor our Lord and our Daddy.
I love you, my Sisters, and I am so thankful to have each of you to turn to.
9 Don’t just pretend to love others.
Really love them.
Hate what is wrong.
Hold tightly to what is good.
10 Love each other with genuine affection,
and take delight in honoring each other.
11 Never be lazy,
but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.
12 Rejoice in our confident hope.
Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
Romans 12: 9-12 (NLT)
He Called Me
Stepping forward in the work of God in my life.
I share when He leads:
*Out of my desire to be completely obedient to GOD in all that HE calls me to.
*I pray that God can use this vessel to save even one life.
*I pray that God can use this vessel to save even one soul.
I share portions of my testimony in public forums when God leads because so many people do not understand the consequences of remaining silent. I have even been approached by those who deem my testimony inappropriate. I am hear to tell you that I wish there had been someone talking instead of remaining silent many years ago. I am not saying I would changed my actions, I am saying, who knows what may have happen if someone in my path had been obedient to God. Sins of omission are just as much sin, as sins of commission. I know that deafening silence allows satan to run rampant through minds and lives with his lies.
I have shared my testimony in times past in churches and in prisons. The Lord is now leading me to open a crisis pregnancy center. Though we are in only the beginning stages, I know HE will do a mighty work in many lives in our community.
Countless thousands of ladies have made the same decision I did, and many more than once. They must hear that there a GOD who forgives those who turn to Him in honest repentance. They must hear that they can and will receive life and life more abundant in Him, if they will only draw near in a personal relationship with HIM. As for those who find themselves in what they perceive to be a “problem” situation, and find themselves facing a life ending decision, they must hear that life begins at conception and that every life is a blessing from GOD and that HE has a purpose and a plan for every life.
I found myself pregnant in the middle of a divorce from a bad marriage in which myself and my boys needed to be removed from. What was I going to do? How can I bring another baby in this? Before I knew what happen I had made the decision and gone through with “it“ I had made a decision to end a life, a decision I swore I would never make under any circumstance. Now I had the rest of my life to live with it.
My daughter is and forever will be in my heart even though I never held her in my arms. She has now rested nineteen years in the arms of her Saviour. She is a vessel my God used to show me just how totally depraved and dead in sin I was.
That is until I meet my Saviour! She is no longer that secret sin in my life but my daughter who God used in my life’s journey to HIM. He came to me while I set alone in the middle of my living room floor. I was not looking for HIM, He came and found me, I was the one that was lost!
That day I was crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me; and the life that I now live it the flesh I live by faith I the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
Because of Him,

A Tid Bit Beginning
I am finding it very hard to write this post so please bare with me. I do not find it easy to write about myself and I am not sure what God is going to do this week. I definitely want to share according to His will and glory in all that HE has done in my life.
Here are a few details to get me started. I am 43 years old and I have been married to my wonderful husband Danny almost 19 years. My husband is a vessel that the LORD used in my life to teach me what real love is about. He learned about my past, never held it against me, never judged me and still loved me completely. That was a love I had never experienced. Later God taught me that His love is ever more forgiving and loving and that Danny was only a vessel HE used in my life to show me HIS love.
I was not raised in a Christian home. My parents had a rocky marriage and were divorced when I was 11 years. I was blessed with amazing maternal grand parents who where the back bone of my moral belief system. Their teaching lead to helping me stay out of some of the worldly avenues I may have otherwise taken. I praise God that He used them to guide me along in my journey to Him.
Through all the bumps of life, I would say that I enjoyed a wonderful “normal” childhood.
I was married to my first husband one month after graduating from high school. We were married for seven years before divorcing. The blessings of that marriage are my two amazingly wonderful boys. They are both grown and married to precious young ladies. I could not be prouder of the young men my sons have become.
My youngest son and his wife have blessed us with two precious grand babies. Our two year old grand daughter Ellye and eleven week old grand son Wylder. What an absolute joy they are.
We are patiently waiting on God’s perfect plan and time for our oldest son and his wife to have children. OK, so I am not waiting so patiently. I am ready to hold their babies in my arms too!!
So this is a small introduction to me. I will get to the meat of my testimony tomorrow. I am praying about posting the next portion of my life. Please know that it is not easy to post, it will not be easy to read, however, GOD is mighty to save!
