awaken the watchmen

As I was sitting here thinking of all the things I was thankful for, I believe the Lord spoke and said. Have you ever asked me what I'm thankful for? I believe he said, I am thankful for my servants, who, through adversity, still worship me. I know and understand the difficulties that happen, because, remember, I was also tempted, in all points, as you have been. I am thankful for my children who overcome. I am thankful for those who have died for my kingdom. I am thankful for those who don't look to the things of this world, but have given themselves to me. I am thankful for your heart and your life that you have given to me. I cherish it above all else, for those whose hearts have been given to me, I will surely use in my kingdom. Maybe you can't cook. Maybe your rolls flopped today, when you wanted to make them special for your family. Maybe your pumpkin pie burned. Maybe you can't be in two places at one time. But I see your heart child, and I want you to know, that I love you with a love that is so indescribable, that you can't even fathom it. Yes, child, I am thankful for you. I pray and intercede for you. Nothing can take you out of my hand, because I clench my hand tight when the enemy comes and tries to steal you away.  Worship me today!!! I am with you as you fill your plate. I am with you when you eat your turkey, mash potatoes, giblet gravy, dressing,  olives, and green bean casserole, and Wal-Mart store-bought rolls. I am with you when you start on the dessert table. Oh, the pumpkin pies, and the pecan pies. Everything I make is good, don't you think!? I am with you as you sit around the table with those you love. I am with you when your heart breaks because there are some missing at that table. So, remember, as you enjoy today, I am there at your Thanksgiving meal with you. Observing and sharing today right beside you.

Hi. How are you doing? I'm doing well. I wanted to share what the Lord spoke to me about childlikeness again. I know within my own life, there are some things that I believe He wants me to be involved in. But when it gets down to it, I back down, many times, thinking, what if this happens, etc. The Lord showed me a picture in my mind of my granddaughter, standing up against the couch. You can see in her eyes that she really wants to try and walk and take that first step, and then looks around, and then falls to her knees and goes ahead and crawls. She has a little fear left that she needs to overcome. We call to her, saying, Come on Jaydin, you can do it! As she is, so we can be. Jesus is saying, come on Kelly, take that first step, you can do it!! Don't let fear keep you from your destiny! He wants us to trust Him. Oh, by the way, the Lord spoke this to me last night. And guess what! Today she took 4 steps!! Then, I also noticed, when she got tired, because we kept trying to coax her again and again, she would just fall into our arms. What a picture, huh? God is good. Have a good day!! Love, Kelly
