Chasing Righteousness!!!

okay so many know that this is my life's catch phrase. Sometimes I think I should put it on magnets, t-shirts and everywhere in my life just to keep that constant reminder. I wont write about how it came about as I know I did that about a year or so ago. What I love is that God continues to pull Me to a life of chasing righteousness. How faithful my Jesus is, that even when things seem to get it's hardest and most difficult to only look at the Living God behind every situations, He barges in and brings in peace, love, comfort and truth to the situation. Of course He only barges in once you put your hand on that door knob and turn it to open it, then he'll jump in I promise.
So today I read one of my favorite Blogspots, David Wilkerson Today http://davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com/
and he said the most profound thing,
"The Bible could not make this any clearer. Simply put, righteousness is believing the promises of God, being fully persuaded he’ll keep his word."

So well put - love it and so thankful for this reminder that puts me on the road to continue to live a life..... CHASING RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!!

Hard Days REALLY REALLY Hard Days

Why is it that when the tidal wave comes I get frustrated, I think that the easy road is best, I so easily get critical of those involved that seem to be in the wrong. Why can't I learn. It's the same ol' lesson time and time again. I so identify with the Children of Israel - you know they sure get a bum wrap don't they. I get it I really do. This flesh of ours is really pretty pathetic. Somehow we think we have rights - now that's a laughing matter because if we were to simple believe the Word of God we will see that we have no rights EVER, it's all about dying to self daily, picking up our cross and walking the hard road that is laid out for us by a loving, Father who needs us to see our deceitfully wicked hearts and depend completely on Him. Knowing that the harder road from point A to B is going to refine us to strip us of the bondage we have allowed the enemy to ensnare us with. The hard road is the Good road.
"When the going gets hard the hard gets good"

But Lord I want to be heard - "Just Pray"
But they are wrong - "Just Pray"
But It's going to cause great pain - "Just Pray"
But It's compromise Lord - "Just Pray"
But But But But But - " Susan Just Pray"

So today I will pray
but tomorrow Lord will you help me again?
