"Sisters Loved by God" was created a few years ago as a space where The Lord has shown me that we must give in order to grow. This is a place where I will share what The Lord speaks to my heart. I have tried to run away and ignore this calling until now. Every post here comes from a heart dedicated to The Lord. As stated in Joshua 1:14, I am here to help my sisters in their walk with the Lord and to offer them the rest He has provided for me.

His Glory
I had the opportunity to walk the grounds of one of the most beautiful oldest colleges in the Midwest. Voted #1 best value liberal art college in the nation. With students from 26 countries, with a variety of faith backgrounds. 125 years of history within the walls.
Thousand of prayers. As I walk inside the old church, feeling and letting my imagination run, I could hear the hymns sung. The many messages preach over the pulpit. Many lives were changed because of their dedication and submission to God. Their willingness to let go of self so they could find God's purpose for their life and the reason they were created for. Going after their destiny. Running after God. Available, faithful, and teachable. I would love to be a fly on the wall so I could experience what they experienced.
As I continue to move up the stairs every step is bringing me closer to a new revelation. I come across hundreds of volumes on church history. Walls full of books. Years of history in each book. Each step brings me closer to what awaits me at the end of the room. As I walked by I noticed the big church organ. A small desk with the college information. Wing chair sits by the window. I feel peace in the room. I stood there for what looked like an eternity, not wanting to move. Reluctantly I made it down the stairs. Just to come up once again. I wanted to take pictures of the precious room up the stairs. Something special with the small room. To capture the moment it that was possible.
This time I bring my daughter and my phone. I wanted the picture of me sitting by the window. My daughter took some shoots and we left.
Sometime later as I am going over the pictures I notice the light coming out of one of the pictures of me sitting by the window. Then I realize that thanks to technology we were able to have a glimpse of heaven, the rays of glory, His presence was tangible and we captured.
This is the 2nd time in the last few months that I am able to capture glimpses of heavens. If we are willing to press on. If we yield to His presence. If we search for more of him. If we thirst and hunger for more of him. We be able to find him. For his presence filled the room. The light of heavens came down and dwell among us. His presence was felt and he allowed me to fill it too.
I don't know about you but when we look for him with all our heart, mind and soul, he will not disappoint us. For he will meet us there.
I saw the old church, I went inside looking for Him and I found him. For he waited for me sitting by the window, overlooking the Mississippi River below. Our Lord and Saviour is calling. He is willing to meet with you at the most unexpected times. Don't allow distractions to move you. Don't allow what is taking place around us to rob us of having intimacy with the Lord.
I am on vacation. I didn't have plans for an encounter, But The Lord gifted me with his peace, his presence, and his love.
