Such a Nice Surprise

Imagine my surprise when I received an email from Cynthia at Prayer Notes by Cynthia letting me know that I had won coasters, The Old Rugged Cross, that she had made and designed.

If you haven’t already discovered Cynthia’s blog, head on over. You will find encouragement for your faith and some beautiful and unique art work and crafts. Cynthia also has website at Etsy.

Thank you Cynthia...I feel most blessed.

Great idea on giving others a heads up. I do believe Cynthia does a give away every month. She is very talented.

By the way...like you blog. Some great photos and some fun and thought provoking quotes.

Miss Cindy...you are right about being blessed. In more ways that I even know.

Denise and Wanda...received the coaster and love it. I do believe they would make a nice gift. I may have to wander on over to Cynthia's Etsy shop.

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
