There is a Time for Every Season Under Heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

As the years have gathered my days, I've grown. I have come to a point in my life where I truly enjoy God! I let Him love me and I love Him back! I let Him comfort me and I then go and comfort others. I don't blame God any more but, I see Him in everything! The journey IS life, we will never arrive as long as we walk on this earth so I've learned to see each day, each moment as a chapter in my life's journal whether it be a great day or a dark season, God is in it with me.

I'm also aware that the enemy is always prowling about with one mission in mind, to rob me of my joy and to get me to doubt God. There are times when I lend ear to the whispered lies and I become ensnared. Not for the long lengths of time as when I was younger and thought God was responsible for pain and suffering. I've grown in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I find myself falling much less and for shorter periods of time. That's because I read God's Word each day and I have a personal relationship with Him!

I have struggled with worthlessness because of the things that happened to me in my life. Growing and healing is a process and He is teaching me about many things that I look forward to sharing! This blog is a place for my thoughts to find their voice! I hope you enjoy visiting here just as if you were going to a friends house.

Jesusdeevah is a name I chose because it reminds me that I am set apart, special, precious and treasured by my Father in Heaven! So much that He sent His only beloved Son, Jesus, to suffer and die for me! Then, on the third day He rose from the grave and conquered sin and death so that I could be with Him forever! The lie is that I'm worthless, the truth is that I am worth dying for!

John 3:16,17... For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life! God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it but to save it!

Water into Water

A Poem by Dee Hartmann

Words dispelled like water being poured into water, never to be gathered together again. Thoughts that fade into space and leave no image behind of their influence or meaning. Grace to write

The lost or interrupted brush stroke that never will be. The art made from fear of humiliation rather than the power of the truth and conviction of the heart. Never to be recaptured. Grace to paint.

A dream conceived in ones heart, filled with imagination and expectation. Yet life's road leads elsewhere, our relinquishment needs peace. Grace to carry on.

The uprooted garden spills its seeds and propagates in the next season...what was, is gone, and what will be, will come. The fruits of the past have surrendered to the earth. Grace to sow.

The life that never saw light, gone before our love could fall down upon them. Gone from our embrace, but cradled now in the everlasting arms. Grace to love on.

Water into water...We know of the things that have been poured out, seeing them as separate is no more...they are a part of everything now. We live the prayers of loss and gain, God is in and of, and we shall rest in that. Grace to hope.
