A Day In My Life

  SAR SHALOM NAMES OF GOD / YHWH   Such a privilege to be here sharing one of the many names for YHWH! It was very difficult to choose just one name because God has shown Himself true in so many situations. As I live, I continue to learn varying facets of Adonai. He is a Wonderful Counselor and The King of Heaven yet His love cares about the most minute details of my seemingly insignificant life..which is crazy talk because my life meant so much to Him that He sacrificed Himself for me. It was a great comfort to sit and study, read, and try to digest His word this morning and into the afternoon. What I came away with made me smile (giving me great comfort) and I hope what is shared is an equal comfort to you. Tonight, we are going to focus particularly on His name: Sar Shalom which means Prince of Peace. Traditionally when the term Prince of Peace is used, we think of all things Christmas right! the beautiful story of redemption begins, the lights, decorations and fe...

 Part III Reader, you may be asking, 'why in the world would Souljourner break this up into 3 parts?? ' To which I can easily respond. I respect your time. It's alot easier to read small sections, being hungry for the end, than it is to read a book.. Thank you for your support. I hope these entries strengthen and encourage you. Please share among your friends, associates etc.. Sj I mentioned in part 2 that the Lord, Jehovah God, sent me some help. It was kinda weird actually. I had taken off of work (until the latter part of the week) because I needed to breath; so I was free to clean my house, catch up on laundry, sleep, and visit a friend. It was in this visit that my help appeared.  We were having a coffee date. My purpose was to be an encouragement during her time of struggle. I'm sure we all have that friend where the conversation can just flow organically. It's not forced. It's really comfortable and no topic is off the table. We share in confidence. We lo...

 PART II Where did I leave off? Oh, that's right. I was protesting, in a very undignified fashion, the route that needed to be traveled.  I did not want to go. I asked the Lord to remove this challenge by healing Nate immediately (pretty please). I know He can and I knew He would if it was in His will to do so. That's where it gets sticky. Often times what we want, more of God for instance, and how we get it don't match up. I would prefer a beautiful, serene and peaceful talk with God. He prefers to allow trials. His way is always better. His will is always perfect...whether I like it or not.  Fast forward after packing a few things I went and spoke to both boys informing them of our plan which included a visit to the emergency room. Because of Covid-19 Myles would need to stay home and wait for dad.  A few hours later we were being ushered into our room on the 7th floor. The pediatric ward. The physician on staff relayed his thoughts as I settled in for a long ...

  THE NEWNESS OF GRACE : It is April the year 2021...I have not blogged or set up a post since November 2020.  To say I was a bit distracted is an understatement. I have been splotchy, at best, with my writing every since the challenges of 2017-2019. I don't think I ever truly recovered until today. Let me share with you what I have learned.. On March 15th our youngest son, Nate, had surgery. The procedure was one that we knew he would eventually need to have but was never really healthy enough to have. It was a praise that the Lord had brought us this far to even consider it as it was cosmetic.  Because of his complicated medical history we knew that anesthesia and pain meds may cause an issue. Oh boy did they! Fast forward 2 weeks after surgery we are in the emergency room. He was released 3 days later.  We were enjoying spring break. I was out and about running errands and I happened to call the boys to make sure everything was okay at home. They are older now so ...
