Prayer walk at the River!

Today's adventure really wasn't much of an adventure as it was more of a prayer walk. I donned my tennis shoes and headed down to the Riverwalk for a much needed walk & talk with Jesus! I had no desire for shopping and no desire to do anything but spend some time with Jesus in these new, beautiful surroundings! As I boarded the plane on Sunday, my dear and very wise mother texted me to take a deep breath and clear my mind as it will fill up very quickly when I return home. Ha!

So I walked and prayed and walked and prayed some more. Thankful that God hears and such comfort in knowing that even though I am waiting on Him with some things in my life, I know He is working all things together for my good because I love Him so deeply and because I'm called according to HIS purpose for my life! Hallelujah! (Romans 8:28)

Then after about an hour into my walk I looked down and noticed the stars embedded into the walkway. His sweet reminder that He will always give me just enough light for the step I'm on. Every step I commit to Him and know He will prepare the way! So I keep walking...I keep trusting...I keep praying...I keep believing...and I also keep praising!

“I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them.”

Isaiah 42:16 (NKJV)

I'm so thankful for this journey of life! Though sometimes hard and difficult to maneuver with things that don't always make sense, the joy of the Lord is my strength through it all! He is AMAZING God!

A morning with Jesus in Texas!

My view during my morning quiet time!

“And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”

Adventure through the streets of San Antonio!

I set off on an adventure today through the streets of San Antonio! It was a journey to see the sights and enjoy some new surroundings! I met a lot of great people! I love to talk with people and, hopefully, shine the light of Jesus. Today I was blessed by a sweet girl who just moved here from Michigan learning her way around and I met a wonderful San Antonio police officer who was kind enough to chat for a bit and then stop all traffic for me to cross the busy street.

But then my journey brought me to this cathedral. Absolutely beautiful! So many people coming in and stopping for a time of prayer. I took a seat and spent some time in prayer as well, thanking God for the freedom to enter this place and openly pray & worship Him. Then I opened my Bible and read this passage of scripture in John as Jesus was speaking to his disciples right before his arrest. He was teaching them and preparing them for what was to come. Those words jumped off those blessed pages today! Everywhere we turn there is trouble and chaos. A world turning further away from God. Here in this passage, Jesus reminded them of the troubles to come but that He would be with them just as He is with us! He is our peace! In a world that has lost its way, I am reminded of the ONLY way and it is JESUS! Victory is His! All hope...all confidence is in HIM!

“Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:31-33 (NIV)

Thank you, precious Jesus! Oh, how I love YOU!
