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 »

See, I am doing a new thing!

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, God, Hope

I love this word for my life today!  God asks us not to dwell on the past, but focus on His promises.  He makes ALL things new!  What was once a barren wasteland, He causes life giving springs and streams within our hearts and minds to flow.  I live in the Southwest desert and see…Read more »

Take Courage

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

He is in the waiting… I had a dream about a month ago I feel was sent to me from God.  In the dream, the chorus from the song “Take Courage ” which sings  ‘He’s in the waiting, He’s in the waiting’, kept repeating, and as this verse was repeating, a single, very full white…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 »

Closure…

Posted by elizamakaira in Closure, Encouragement, Faith, Prayer

Have you ever had a conversation with someone not knowing it was the last time you would speak?  I’m not talking about a situation in which a death occurs, which is truly tragic and can cause pain and regret for years.  But a circumstance which makes it impossible to right a wrong, say those things…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 »

Your Life Is Not Boring

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, God, Gratitude

This is a great reminder, and exactly what I needed to hear right now! I am so blessed by all I have experienced and learned this year. 2018 started out with an amazing call from God to step out of my comfort zone and explore true intimacy with Him.

Lover of my Soul

Posted by elizamakaira in God, Intimacy, love

Dear Jesus, So many intense feelings lately!  They crash over me with such intensity, I feel off-balance most of the time.  I don’t feel like I fit in anywhere.  I find myself sharing at such a deeply intense level, I make people uncomfortable.  I feel them shifting and gracefully finding an out so they no…Read more »

Be an encourager!

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, Hope, love

I have a friend whose spiritual gift is exhortation, or encouragement.  He does not think of himself as a leader, yet the very act of encouraging moves people. I am grateful for the time he shared his gift with me and how it continues to change my life and transform my walk with Jesus. Be…Read more »
