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.

Whispers

I have been processing this all day long and have decided to post it just to have a marker of it.

Right after my quiet time this morning as I entered my kitchen to put the kettle on for another cup of tea, I heard 3 words whispered to me. Not in my house...but in my head, in my heart.

"Ready thy house."

They stopped me in my tracks. Literally. I knew immediately Who was speaking. Because I sure don't talk like that.

So all day long I've been wondering exactly what I'm to "ready" in my house. In a broad sense? In a literal sense? Praying for clarity...I'm listening Lord.

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 NLT

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.
