 We prepare ourselves to meet needs and the LORD fills us and enlarges our understanding of the Word and His Way.  We also have friends on their journey and it is a grief of heart to have nothing to set before them. Take time as needed to study to show yourself approved. 
The three loaves reminded me of the knowledge of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
You ask..
You seek..
You knock..
Someone is going to show up.
Be prepared.

Luke 11:5-9 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves: For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
And he from within shall answer and say, trouble me not; the door is now shut and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give thee.
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity  he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Singing Encouragement-Overcoming Fear

Never forget God loves you, we all have opportunity to start again, to call upon His name. Sometimes, obedience involves vulnerability. Mine. Overcoming fear. I am singing 🎶 with Jeremy Camp’s song “Getting Started” ~Debbie Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wooing of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that you never forget us, thank you that you want us. Open our eyes to see ourselves the way that you see us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. Amen Lyrics for this song Getting Started Are you running 'round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don't even know? Someone still sees who you are, yeah Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don't believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are, yeah To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here's a song for all the broken hearted I believe you're only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus' nam...

I Heard Your Voice

Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters © 2008 Debbie Turner Chavers At times when spending time in God's presence I write poetry, paint art parables, read the bible, or sit and soak in His Peace.  At times I rejoice, making melody in my heart, singing out loud and at times play my tambourine.  There are so many ways to spend time with the LORD.  Make time today, you will be glad you did. I wrote this poem during my study for the art parable "Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters" I Heard Your Voice Beside still waters I heard your voice As a whispered song of love that flowed along. As I traveled a weary road I heard your voice as a crescendo A bubbling brook that refreshed my soul. As I lay to sleep I heard your voice As a wooing song That lapped gently along the edges of my dreams Rowing me home. When my earthly journey is over At the end of my days I want to hear you say "Well done, good and faithful servant." © Debbie Turner Chavers Matthew 25...

3 Poems From my Journal

A Weighty Matter I eat I am hungry Hungry for answers With questions unasked With issues to large to fill a plate So I eat Trying to fill the emptiness of areas broken With food That will not fill or heal And so I pause Hand mid-air Reaching upward Instead of inward Waiting to be filled. © 2014 Debbie Turner Chavers ...
