Again this weekend with our Audience of One I was inspired to rest. Is it not interesting that rest is commanded. You would think we would just fall into it. Well, some of us do. Fall into rest, exhausted, because we have to be doing all of the time. But we are human beings, and not human doings. Our works do not make us who are. God made us who we are. The righteousness of Himself in Christ. Jehovah’s Tsidkenu bids us to rest in His righteousness. If we truly follow Jesus, then we follow Him into heavenly places, seated at the right hand of God. A place where all work ceases, and we receive.
Daily rest in Him, and remember to rest with Him.
1 Corinthians 5:21. He hath made Him ( Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ.

Really y’all I’m just another Samaritan woman seeking living water and pouring out where I see need for encouragement. I am 48, mother to four girls ages 16-26, Gigi to the most handsome 2-year-old little boy, Fibromyalgia warrior, minister, writer, and a lifetime learner.
I am writing my first book, slowly but surely, six chapters in, as our blessed first love has called me to share His glory in my story. I feel lost in that familiar desert place, and thankful for the manna that is there miraculously every day. I am overcoming hour by hour the condemning voices of the enemy and learning to love myself. It has been an arduous journey. This wordsmith journey, but so worth it.
I became a licensed minister in 2010. However, I do not currently work in the ministry. I share Christ's love through devotional blogging. I have a degree in Church Ministry, was pursuing my degree in Christian Care and Counseling at Oral Roberts University, but now am pursuing Life Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practioner Certifications and a business license.
I am a certified women’s biblical counselor through the Extraordinary Women's program at Light University. I am working on their Addiction and Recovery program now too. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment with a wealth of life experiences with which I can minister comfort to others.
I'm a lover of a good book, writing, singing, and music, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile.
Blessings to you and yours,
<3Melinda
