When God responds - Psalm 91:14-15

June 5, 2011 
Psalm 91:14 The Lord says, "Whoever loves me, I will save. I will protect those who know me. 15 They will call to me, and I will answer them. I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.

My Mother is very ill. She has had a tough weekend. On Friday night, we didn’t know if she was going to make it. Saturday was another tough day. Today, it all turned around.  Earlier in the day, my brother said she wasn’t improving.  But when I walked into the Intensive Care Unit everything had turned around. She was fully awake and responsive. Even her nurse said that she had improved greatly over the last few hours.

I feel great peace because I know that this was another favor from God. His hand is on this journey and I know it. I know the following things for sure:
  • I love God and I spend quality time getting to know him
  • I have invested time in reading and understanding the Bible, so I can know his heart
  • Knowing where to go in the Bible to get God’s life messages for me has opened up my communication and intimacy with him
  • The end result is that I know God and I have a vibrant relationship with him
  • Because I know God, I know when he directly impacts my life
Only God knows my mother’s journey.  I believe he wanted me to trust him to leave that burden in his hands. I typically want to control everything. God handles things just fine. He doesn’t need any help from me. He just wants me to be passionate about him and share that passion with others.

In Psalm 91:15 God says that he will answer when we call him during our times of trouble. The only prerequisites are that we must love and know him. When you know God, you will be passionate about him! I am far from perfect, but God knows my heart. I can count on him! Oh, I love my Jesus!

Thank you, Lord!

Sweet Sixteen

  Today is my spiritual birthday – the date that changed my entire life.  It’s the before and after life changing date when my eyes were  opened to the divineness of God. I’ve been on an exhilarating and sometimes uncomfortable journey  full of experiences I never imagined I could or want to handle. But the best part of my journey is how God expanded my closed “religious”  mind and views. The knowledge I have is but a drop in the cosmic (heavenly) bucket; and I’ve learned that I’m in no position to impose my views on  people of different faiths or no faiths. There’s room at the table for all of us. We are all welcome and loved! There’s always room at the table. My life has been about constantly getting myself out of comfort zones  I prefer…always hesitating but drawn to the next adventure. That fateful, ever evolving connection to God has powered everything  about my life. It has taken me from the depths of despair to the heights of love;  from the holy experience of helping loved ones

UPDATE: What's next for MyDivineNotes.com

Hello friends and readers! So much has changed in the world since I started this blog. I have also evolved as we all should to reflect new experiences, knowledge and calls of the Spirit. But the one aspect of my life that has remained constant is my life with God! My reliance and belief in God have never changed. What has changed is the call of the Spirit in my life and ministry. When I started my journey I had one-way vision influenced by the voices I listened to.  Change gradually happened in my ministry and beliefs because of the many years of ministering in hospital settings. One can't impose spiritual beliefs on people of different faiths or no faith. That was the starting point for me. Racial and political reckoning also awakened me to the systemic oppression of the White church that I embraced in my adulthood. I engaged in learning to understand how the church was always made for light skinned people - not me and my loved ones. I stopped engaging in religion and my faith gre
