Well I just Celebrated my 51st Birthday in the Lord and cannot imagine life without Him! Through all my ups and downs Jesus has been there to see me through!

And what is so amazing is to have a personal and intimate relationship with your Creator, the One that designed you and knows everything about you! With Him there is never a need to hide, He is the safe place you can come to and release it all, the good, bad and ugly! Jesus has truly been my rock and the anchor of my soul! He gives me joy in the morning when nights are tough.

Only with Jesus could I really be myself and know that He understands me and loves me unconditionally! I thank Him for that and I am forever grateful.

I chose this Psalm and pray that it speaks to you as it did to me.

Psalm 139:1-12 ERV

Lord, you have tested me, so you know all about me.
You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know my thoughts from far away.
You know where I go and where I lie down. You know everything I do.
Lord, you know what I want to say, even before the words leave my mouth.
You are all around me—in front of me and behind me. I feel your hand on my shoulder.
I am amazed at what you know; it is too much for me to understand.
Your Spirit is everywhere I go. I cannot escape your presence.
If I go up to heaven, you will be there. If I go down to the place of death, you will be there.
If I go east where the sun rises or go to live in the west beyond the sea, even there you will take my hand and lead me. Your strong right hand will protect me. Suppose I wanted to hide from you and said, “Surely the darkness will hide me.
The day will change to night and cover me. Even the darkness is not dark to you. The night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same.

If you haven’t found that place of intimacy with your Heavenly Father, I encourage you to take the first step! Once you do, you won’t want to do life any other way! Blessings!
