Thanks for everything
As I look back on this past year I am grateful, sorrowful and somewhat more at peace. Life has a funny way sometimes of all working it's self out no matter our hurts, feelings, decisions and actions towards others.
I continue to grow in my faith and trust in Him, ALWAYS---There is nothihg I can't endure knowing God is near me, his LOVE surrounds me. I think of Him daily, but it's still very hard for me to share Him with others...I am surrounded by so many that do not believe or share my faith. My thoughts are not always kind nor the words that escape my lips and so I continue to ask for forgiveness and I continue to pray for all whom I hold near and dear to me.
"The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop."

Hurts
Give me strength Heavenly Father to understand others, giving them understanding and grace for we are all different and yet very much the same. I pray for your healing in my relationships in this life. Hurts, feelings of regret and bitterness I harbor towards those I love dearly. I pray for understanding and a peacefulness. Forgive me Father for finding faults and my own stubborness and choice to distance myself. I pray dear Lord for rest, understanding and forgiveness.
I thank you Dear Lord for your love and guidance and I will continue to honor you and give you the glory for all that I have in this world, your blessing on me, my life and family. I pray for the continued safety of my children, my husband, our health and all we have to give.
Amen.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved.
~ Ephesians 2:4-5

He is Risen!
He is Risen Indeed!!
The joy of Easter...
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
~ Matthew 20:1-10

He's still working on me...
Hi, my name is Tracey and I am a christian, still growing, still learning and still making mistakes.
Life is not easy, but I'm learning as I go and I pray often for guidance, peace and the way through our Lord Jesus Christ. I need His love and strength everyday.
It is my sincere hope that God is using me, including all of my imperfections, to help shape who I am and what he wants me to be.
I'm glad you stopped by, I'll be here every so often so enjoy what I have and take with you what you will and share as well.
In God' Love...
