Soooo good Sister J! That's a profound and yes powerful too (thanks Nora) statement, as well as a true one...It will speak to all of us, I think....☼:-) I'm going to be reading and rereading this message today...

~~"There's a river of life flowing out of me,
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
Open prison door sets the captive free,
There's a river of life flowing out of me.

Spring up oh well...
Within my soul!
Spring up oh well...
And make me whole.
Spring up oh well...
And give to me.
That life abundantly.

There's a fountain flowing from the Savior's side,
All my sin's forgiven in the precious tide;
Jesus paid the price when for me He died,
There's a fountain flowing from the Savior's side.

Spring up oh well...
Within my soul!
Spring up oh well...
And make me whole.
Spring up oh well...
And give to me.
That life abundantly.

There's a risen Savior at the Father's throne,
Ever interceding for His very own;
Pouring down the blessings that are His alone,
There's a risen Savior at the Father's throne!" ~~

When Jesus told Peter to launch out into the deep and let down his net....Peter did not hesitate to use his words and  let Jesus know he had already tried that, having toiled all night, but it was pointless and a waste of time.....yet Jesus had given command in the day, after the long hard night that had been weary and fruitless. "Nevertheless...At They Word" Peter said...and.......

"BEHOLD!" = "WHAT THE!'

Sometimes that deep place Jesus talks you into, is right back where you were, what you've already tried..... but this time He has commanded a great haul of blessings and benefits.

Trust Him deeper still...there is a "WHAT THE" in the deep. 

Wow..thanks for this, Jan.  This is where He has me right now.    Woo Hoo!

Living in sweet anticipation. 

Thanks for sharing sis....I enjoyed reading...and borrowing the message for myself.   I think I'll just let you speak for me from now on.... you do it so well.   LoL

Well...this was supposed to be posted in the middle of the night, lol... but it didn't get posted.. so here it is now...

Right now it's 2:30 in the morning here.... I've just been woken up yet again....and that I can be praising the Lord, instead of feeling anger... my friends, is a cross that God has released me from, at least for now... I'd been woken up in the night for over a year by neighboring circumstances.    Partly loud vehicles coming in and out at all hours, partly a routine lifestyle of extensive partying, drinking, and other morality issues that came with a group of men ( prior to this it had always been families living there.) They told me they moved to the country for peace and quiet, but my peace and quiet (and privacy) fled the day they moved in. Though in their defense they were never anything but respectful and friendly to this blue girl- way bigger men than I, in every sense.   Still by the spring I was so angry and exhausted from the perpetual lack of sleep for almost a year, that I almost found it in me to hate them. I'm so grieved to admit that. But yes, even Blue Castles aren't perfect, and this one is so very far from it. I wanted nothing more than to leave a place I'd lived happily for the last 9 years- my tiny country home had turned into a living nightmare that I felt trapped in, because I could not deal with the lack of sleep and I could not deal with the circumstances. I was spending almost every weekend gone from home, staying somewhere, anywhere else, doing everything I could to escape from it.  But... then God made it clear He was going to keep me here..simply because I could afford to go nowhere else, and He was firmly closing every door.... and it started me thinking that there had to be a lesson I needed to learn from all of this... and I started buying some earplugs ... and working very hard at feeling more friendly and affectionate towards my circumstances...lol... and slowly but surely things began to improve. Now I can honestly say I love them, and wish for them to come to the Lord, even in the middle of the night, when they've woken me up yet again. And amazingly, the un neighborly stuff is almost gone, other than occasional rackets which I can definitely live with. Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace on His tired Blue girl! 

I'll be gone for a few days this upcoming week... if you all could pray for me if I happen to come to mind, it would be deeply and sincerely appreciated...it's a long drive both ways... and I don't tend to get much sleep where I'm going- there's this little alarm clock that comes and pats his beloved aunties face every morning at 5 am, lol... regular as clockwork, it's impressive really..lol.. and then he has to get up and snuggle with you.. and whisper to you... and sing to you... and wiggle,wiggle, wiggle... until you give up and get up, lol-and I don't have a chance to rest much, because there's a lot o work to be shared to lighten someone else's load for a while, even though I always know I'll be blessed greatly and treasure every moment of it. And I won't be able to spend as much time at my new fav hang out! But it's time for me to spread some of the light I've been so generously given here... and I'll still be checking in  when I get a chance...thanks again for everything, Family in the Lord!

 TBC ☼:-)

I am back from the CR conference---WOW they are always uplifting!  Just want to say how much I appreciate those who are standing in prayer with me here with my life situation. It helps and I am grateful.  God has blessed me with wonderful people here and in my CR group and I have been feeling very grateful for that and I believe God's got a change coming my way.  I'm waiting on Him and studying on Who I Am In Christ and His love for me.    So here's some thanks and encouragement back at ya   

With Love
