In the Throne Room

My name is Gigi and I am a Christian...proud and unapologetic. I was a lifelong Catholic - up until a few years ago when the priest sexual abuse scandal hit a bit too close to home. And rocked my very foundation of beliefs. But by the GRACE of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am finding my way back - not to Catholicism, but to my Savior. This is my journey...I would love it if you would share it with me. Sit with me for awhile, won't you...in the Throne Room of the Lord.

This is for us

For Marsha, Shonda, Colleen, Sheila, Mickey, Debbie, Susan, Carolyn and all whose names I can't recall at this moment...and me.

My Princess Bride

May I invite you to let your heart dance with Me today? Only I can turn your mourning into dancing. I will give you the beauty and grace needed for the world to see that you are My Beautiful Bride. When you dance with Me, you will feel yourself move to the beat of My heart. It is time, My Bride, to put on your dancing shoes. Now allow me, Your Prince, to play a song, a song for your soul. A song that will make your heart beat with Mine now and throughout all eternity.

Love,
Your true Prince Charming
Excerpt from His Princess Bride ~ Love Letters from Your Prince
by Sheri Rose Shepherd

"You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!" Psalm 30:11-12

jeleasure said...: Hi Gigi,
Your new blog looks good.
I wanted to come back to blogging, but for some reason, I just did not have the focus or motivation I used to have.
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it. Then, I posted my resume on Carreer Builder and received an invitation to apply to Examiner.com.
So that is where I post. So, now I'm sort of back on the circuit. I'll have to figure out a way to create traffic for blogger friends of mine from my page. Getting readers is easier at Examiner.com. I had 46 today. So, if I could post blog addresses, then, you may receive more viewers. I'll have to look into it. In the mean time, here is my address, http://www.examiner.com/x-25759-Richmond-Evangelical-Examiner~y2009m10d16-Physicist-claim-intervention-from-God

Let me see if I can create a link, Richmond Evangelical Examiner

I think that will work. It has been a while since I posted links on Blogspot.; October 18, 2009 at 1:38 AM
jeleasure said...: Hi Gigi,
It's Jim, again. I forgot how to post links. I also forgot to comment on your post.
Here is the thought I had,
Dancing is an imagery of moving. So, we have been moving through this world with God.

I can't explain that very well. But, we here of dance in relationship to God. Steven Curtis Chapman has two songs, I can think of that discuss dancing as an interaction with God. One discusses his birth. It is kind of a Rock song about being born and beginning to dance. The other one says something about a curtain falling...???? that is all I can hear in my head, now. Maybe more will come to me later. I'll let you know.
O.k.,
Let me try the link again.
This link will take you to a specific article. However, there should be more to the righ. Let's see if this one works.; October 18, 2009 at 1:49 AM
Gigi said...: Hi Jim, thank you for the visit! I hope you and Vicki will stop by often...

I had an acquaintance write for Examiner.com for quite some time. I don't know all the particulars, but I know it was not a good experience for her. I hope your time with them will be better and I wish you much success with your writing!; October 18, 2009 at 11:10 AM
Trudy said...: Love the new look on your blog. It's been some time since I've been able to check on you. Glad you have found the new book. Looks like it's really AWESOME stuff. Still praying for you...Love PT; October 19, 2009 at 10:40 AM

On July 8, 2008 my Sweet Hubby was hospitalized for what we thought was a bleeding ulcer. On July 10, 2008 he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with metastases to his liver. Truly a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear...

From the very hour he was diagnosed, we determined that we would continue to place our trust and faith in the Lord and seek to always honor and glorify Him. Yes, even (especially!) in the midst of chaos. One thing that we KNOW for sure is that God is good ALL the time! We are blessed...

**I've been putting off the update to my intro for quite some time now. But delaying it doesn't change the truth...my new reality. On November 9th, 2008, my Sweet Hubby went to be with Jesus. I miss him every minute of every hour of every day. And I will, until I close my eyes for the last time on this earth only to reopen them in Paradise and see His face...and the face of my beloved once again. But for now, I pray to know God's will for me that I might be used to glorify Him.
