Hello!
This is the first of what will be many blogs on the Focused On Him website. I hope you will check here often and leave your comments. We will be posting often with thoughts to ponder, teachings that will challenge and reality that will point you to the Way, Truth, and Life that is Jesus.
As you read my testimony on the website, you will see that I am well acquainted with functioning in survival mode when my world turned upside down. However, I want to encourage you to read the rest of the story, because surviving can lead to thriving when one stays focused on the Kingdom of God. Your situation may be more devastating than mine, but Truth remains: God doesn't change. He loves you, and He alone knows the plans He has had for your life since the beginning of time.
I love all of Psalm 139, but the 17th verse has sustained and encouraged me for a long time. It says: "All of the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." Wow! I am determined to walk out all that God has ordained for me without fear, insecurity, or that continual conversation in my mind that begins with "what if?".
This website is part of walking out what God has already ordained for Ray and I, and we can't wait to see where it leads us. As a friend of mine often says, "Life is a great adventure!" Plan to check in often and join us for the ride!
I look forward to hearing from you as we remain
Focused On Him!

Congrats Pastor Ann! I am so excited to see what God is and will do in and through you! I love you! Thank you for being obedient, transparent and a mentor! Love you
ReplyDeleteGod is so awesome! He sings songs of deliverance over His children. He is not limited by what we think He is or should be. Religion limits God to whatever we want Him to be, but relationship allows Him to be GOD. Ann, you allowed Him to be God over your circumstance - fear, and He sang His song over you and delivered you. Hallelujah.
