Welcome to My Journey

This past year - 2010/2011 - has been one of great challenge and discovery, not all of it pleasant. As one phase of my life ends and another begins, I invite you to join me on my journey.

The title of this blog, "Exodus ~ my journey to the Promised Land," refers to a process of emerging from a life of bondage to sin into a new life in Jesus Christ. Here, you will find my thoughts, prayers, prose, questions, answers, struggles and triumphs. And since photgraphy is the primary activity that keeps me sane, you'll find some of my creative work here, as well.

Some of what I share will be quite personal; it is my hope and prayer that anyone reading it will not be dismayed by the challenges, but rather encouraged by GOD's mercy, love and grace as I leave behind my old life and discover who I am in Christ.

Comments and questions are always welcomed. Be Blessed!

It Can Only Get Better From Here...Right?

Today did not start out well. I have an attitude this morning and, although my Beloved is cheerful and doing well mood-wise, I am irritable and snippy and whiney.  The sun is out and the sky is blue for the first time in several days, but I cannot appreciate it because all I can think of is, "we're getting divorced."

But then, I opened my "Love Letter" a few minutes ago and my heart is touched by the words I read...

My Bride,I came for you to experience a meaningful life; a life filled with divine intervention; a life that leaves a legacy. I want to invite you to Lose yourself in Me today and you will find renewed passion for living and the peace your heart longs for.

If you will look today towards heaven instead of around you, I will open your eyes to the many blessings you may be missing. I want to be the One to bring delight to your day. Take a chance with your Savior and Let go of your will for today and grab hold of Mine.

It's time, My beloved, to let Your Lord show you the real way to live a day with Me--to walk knowing you are blessed by Me. Now take a deep breath and receive my life-giving, soul-satisfying day that is yours for the asking!

Love,
Your Prince and Joy

In today's post there is also a prayer - which I did actually pray aloud - that speaks what is in my heart --



A Prayer to My Prince,

Are you really the One who can lift my spirits and show me the way to a life of joy and happiness? I so want to believe You. I want to grab hold of Your hand and let You lead me to Your divine love. So take me me Lord and show me the way of life.

Amen

I don't know how many more days my Beloved and I will have together as Husband and wife. I know that our love for one another will not die, but it's also a real possibility that we will never have a committed union together ever again.  I am praying that the remainder of our time together will be calm, peaceful, friendly, respectful and that I will be able to show GOD's love for my Husband regardless of the circumstances.

Be Blessed ~ klb
