It is His Good Pleasure!

It is the Fathers good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. Lately I have been hearing the call of God to go up the mountain and be there. To spend time alone with him. To be set apart to hear what he has planned for my next level. I am very excited about that and the fact that I will be free next week to do the same. I heard it said that anytime God calls you, you are summoned to be blessed. How wonderful!

I have been bogged down with many cares and worries lately. Yet I can see how God has gone out of his way to bless me and make sure I am taken care of. Now he says to me "Seek first my Kingdom and all these shall be added to you. For it is my good pleasure to give you the Kingdom."

Everything I need, he has already prepared for me. And funny enough I find that God will sometimes cater to my wants! It is his good pleasure to give you all that you have need of and even just want to have. He only asks for one thing, come spend some time with him first. Talk to him. Let him tell you why he is putting the Gold in your hand. Why he has given you the skills and talents you have. What his dream for you is. And then he can confidently give you the Kingdom, knowing that the two of you are in sync. We serve a wonderful God!

Luke 12:32
"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."

Preacher's Wife

I had a dream that I was getting married to a preacher and I would not have it. I kept saying "But my husband is supposed to be a business man." I couldn't get my head around marrying a preacher. I said I wouldn't know how to support him, or how to be a preacher's wife. I did not want to counsel anyone or any of that first lady stuff. I just kept saying "How now?!" So I went for counseling to talk to Pastor Joan about it. She said "Cynthia, if he has heard from God then you better listen to what God is saying." So I agreed to go out on a few dates with him. Initially I was a bit afraid, him being a "Man of God" and all, but then as we continued to date I felt really good about it. Then I woke up.

Lord in Heaven! What if my husband really is a preacher? I need to wrap my noggin around that idea for real. It is scary. Kudos to all the women out there who always wanted to marry a preacher. I sure have never been one of them.
