​Hello everyone! Here I am again! As you can see...I'm really enjoying my new blog! I remember a time in my life, when I had emotionally collapsed and as I began a new journey  with God through counseling, they had me do a journal on my feelings, where I would write down what was on my mind and you know what...I found it very interesting, when I re-read the pages. It's amazing to me, how a person can release so much of their feelings...just through writing.
​Anyways...I just finished dinner and my husband offered to do the dishes; so I thought that I would come in my office and share a little of my day with you. Actually, it's been a great day! I'm still working with God, on some issues that I was struggling with, before I took a week off from the ministry; but God has been there...helping me all the way. In fact...today He's been reminding me of so much and helping me through the trying moments. What a difference...compared to what I felt before I took some time off with Him!
​One thing new that I'm doing; is spending around an hour with God each morning...before beginning my work. You know...when I was off, I actually had some time to read other people's articles and this one person was saying; that when a person is involved in ministry work...it can be difficult at times to find time for God, due to the demands of the ministry and with me being an author and a director to this ministry...I believe that was what happened to me...but now, I'm back on track and I just love my time with God each morning! 
​This morning, I studied Proverbs 2 and what amazes me the most about my time with God; is that He knows just what I need to read, as I begin another new day. Anyways, I had my Twitter page up; so if anything came to my thoughts; then I could also share it with my friends on Twitter. As I began to listen to some music, I found myself listening to the song... "You Raise Me Up" by Selah and God began to work and before I knew it; He was laying some thoughts on my mind and heart and I have to tell you; that I was so moved by God during that time; that my fingers were actually shaking on the keyboard. What a way to experience God! 
​You know...how many times do we take God's power for granted and even limit His power within our own lives? One thing I know for sure...I serve a loving God...but also a God of great power! I know...because I experienced His power, in ways that you couldn't even imagine, while I was off on my break. 
​Today, we need to turn to the power that is so much greater than our weak circumstances and give God the place in our lives; that He so rightly deserves. I truly believe that once we do this; then we will never be the same again!
​Well...I need to go for now; but I really enjoyed my time with you tonight! I hope you'll come back again, as I share the goodness of a powerful God!
Blessings ALWAYS!
It's Always & Only Because of Him...
​Diane
