FOCUSING ON REVELATION!!

     The Lord laid it strongly on me to re-read the Revelation.  I've read it many times spiritually.  First time was when I was at a Lutheran church when I was 12.  I'd thought of it many times even when I wasn't reading the Bible very often.  For several years... at least about 20 years ... He has had me read Revelation.  I can't very well read the Bible, b/c my dementia issue is a challenge.  He had me read Mark for a few days, and I couldn't always understand the words.  BUT about 2 days ago, the Lord told me to grab Revelation.  SO I did 3 chapters today, and will read 3 every day.  The end of it is filled with joyfulness and a few of the others always grab my attentions and my heart.  Anyhow, I'll just put some of the ones that I've had for and shared for a long time and it's the first section of the early portion.  I read Chapters 1-3 today and tomorrow it will be Chapters 4-7 so this is a little of them.  Hope you'll smile.    Blessings...

DARKNESS AND LIGHT

THIS WORD FROM THE LORD HAS VERY MUCH BEEN CONNECTED TO MY HEART, DESCRIBING MY WHOLE LIFE.

AS I'VE SAID A NUMBER OF TIMES, I WAS 

A "TOUGH COOKIE" WHILE GROWING UP, 

AND, INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, 

I WAS A "FIGHTER".

NOW, I OFTEN STILL AM A "FIGHTER", BUT IT'S ONLY TO SERVE THE LORD, GO ANYWHERE HE DESIRES FOR ME TO GO, 

DO ANYTHING HE TELLS ME TO DO.

HE'S LIGHT, AND I TRY TO BEHAVE.  REALLY TRY.

[SOMETIMES AIN'T PERFECT, BUT I DO TRY.]

II TIMOTHY 2:19

NEW YEAR, 2013 -- JOHN 8:12

MY FOREVER GOAL ...

 TO FOLLOW HIS

 LIGHT...

[NOTHING ELSE COUNTS... ]

All photos taken in Uganda... the first two behind our home at New Hope Uganda, the orphanage where we worked.

The last photo taken near Sipi Falls, in southeastern portion of Uganda, filled with beauty.

No matter how this Word of God is applied, I must say that, because the Lord sent us to Uganda, even though we've been home for years, we still have many [MANY] Dear Ones there -- sons, daughters, grandchildren, faithful friends.  

The Light of our Lord has TRULY flooded our path with His light and His Word.  While there.   While here.

HABAKKUK 3:19

One of my favorite verses, ever and ever.  Puts the Lord's encouragement and enthusiasm into my life and my heart, especially when "challenges" are entering my world.

==================================================

The Lord God is my strength, 

my personal bravery

and

my invincible army;

He makes my feet like hinds' feet,

and will make me to walk

[not to stand still in terror, but to walk]

and

make [spiritual] progress upon my high places

[of trouble, suffering or responsibility].
