A call to come away....


This time next week, I will be on a beach in Florida. He has called me to Himself, and I know He is going to speak to me there. Not that He can't speak to me here, He does, but there is a time that He calls us away. For a special time together.

I'm coming Lord, and I can't wait to meet You there. An anticipation is building in me as I chase after Him. Again, skipping and dancing to our meeting place. I can hear Him call, "Come away, My beloved...."

Marked Forever

I  will sing praise I have a tattoo. Yep. I was thrilled when I found this picture because it represents what my tattoo means! Some time ago, the Lord called me to a higher place in worship, and as I stepped out in obedience, a friend had a vision of my dancing before my King in a field of daisies. She had no idea that my favorite flowers are daisies! But the Lord knew...and I knew His heart was pleased. My tattoo is around my right ankle. It has the Song of Solomon verse "My beloved is mine, and I am His" in hebrew with daisies intertwined.

I will dance before Him, because I know I am His and He is mine. Forever.

My Banner Is Clear...I Am A Disciple Of Jesus!

I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made.
I'm a disciple of Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down,
back up, or be still. My past is redeemed; my future is secure.
I'm finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees,
colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and
dwarfed goals.

I no longer need prosperity, position, promotions, praise or popularity.
I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognised, praised, regarded or rewarded.
I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer and labor by power.

My face is set, my walk is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my walk rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, and my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, deluded, or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Christ. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till He stops me.

And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.....My banner is clear!!

True Victory


Truly, I've been through the storm and rain.

I know every thing about heartache and pain.

But God carried me through it all,

without His protection I'll surely fall.


I've been broke without a dime to my name.

But all my bills got paid because I called on Jesus name.

You can't tell me that God isn't real

'cause I've got the victory and that why I'm still here.


I'm not worried about material things I don't have.

I'm just blessed cause I know that my Savior's there.

Because I know that my blessing is on the way,

I can't see it right now but I stand by faith.


I've fought many, many battles in His name.

I've held up the blood-stained banner and proclaimed.

That Jesus is the truth to the light.

Believe me when I say he will make it right.


I've got, got the victory

I've got the sweet sweet victory in Jesus.

Yes I do

He's our mighty conquerer.

In him I will trust, all my battles He'll fight.

I've got, got the victory

I've got the sweet sweet victory in Jesus.

For me He died, but He rose on the third day.

Thats why I have true victory everyday.
Victory, Yolanda Adams
