Dear Jesus, Thank you for reaching out and extending your hand to lead me. I love the look in your eyes, beckoning to follow, wooing my trust on the path you are leading me. When I think of the relationship I have with you, I realize this is the intimacy, trust, and submission I want…Read more »

I Shall Not Want

Posted by elizamakaira in Bible, Faith, Following, God, Prayer, Sacrifice, Submission

As I have journeyed this year, through all God is teaching me, the 23rd Psalm has played a central role.  Over twenty years ago as a new Christian, I fell in love this Psalm and committed it to memory.  I would, and still do, carefully recite it in my head, or aloud, and wonder at…Read more »

As I begin this next adventure, learning to dance with my new friend Joy, I recognize this as a divine appointment You have scheduled, answering my prayer for help to follow You more closely; to teach me to be a better follower.

Too Late, Too Damaged…

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, Following, God, Healing, Hope, Inspiration, love

I married in my early twenties, knowing it was for all the wrong reasons… we both had doubts we should be together.  When you are young, you lack wisdom, but have energy, hope and naivete in spades.  Sometimes life breaks us down as we go through trials,  our hearts are broken… We either turn to…Read more »

Submission? Not for me!

Posted by elizamakaira in Bible, Faith, Following, God, Submission

Well, this was once how I felt.  God continues working with me on the issue of obedience and submission, and has for many years. I have a very rebellious nature and have had to face this in my walk with the Lord.  God’s word equates rebellion to witchcraft, which was quite an eye opener for…Read more »

Oh What Joy and Rapture!

Posted by elizamakaira in Faith, Following, Intimacy, love, Submission

The Horse Whisperer Five white horses running in slowed motion along a sandy stretch of beach, their manes flowing in rhythm with their gate.  A single rider stands in the middle, each foot planted gently on the back of two different horses, holding the mane of one as his body moves in perfect rhythm and unison. …Read more »

He’s in the waiting…

Posted by elizamakaira in Faith, Following, God, Hope, Intimacy, love

Waiting is hard.  It is a time of quiet contemplation and prayer.  I question whether it is wise to wait, or if it is better to take action and move on.  But move on to what? God is always in the waiting.  He is patient, He is kind, and He is always with us, gently…Read more »

Be Still and Know…

Posted by elizamakaira in Faith, Following, God, Hope, Sanctification, Submission

In every situation, pause and look for God. He is there, standing beside you in your pain and confusion waiting patiently to lead you. Patiently waiting for the roar of thoughts and emotions to subside until the still small voice breaks through, a fresh breeze soothing the soul. Through submission, meaning and purpose are redeemed.…Read more »
