I've been gone for WAY to long! Wouldn't you agree?
If you were following my blog before, then you know that this past year has been quite challenging for me. My grandma passed away from cancer. Shortly after I began dealing with a very heavy health trial of my own.
I won't go into any more details, but this past year has been THE most challenging year of my life, hands down.
If we believe that being a Christian means that we will never encounter anything rough, we are sadly mistaken. Being a believer does not give us a ticket on the train to a fairytale land. But, it does give us a ticket to victory, even when the ride there is tough one.
In the midst of our heartache and trials God is there. He does not leave us or forsake us. As a matter of fact he takes ALL we go through and uses it for good. We may not see the good as we are trudging through the pain and the suffering. But, if we can learn to keep our eyes on Jesus, if we can learn to trust him and believe him even when we do not see what we are hoping for, he will not let us down.
The key to living in the victory purchased for us on the cross is this; We must continue to believe and agree with Jesus. We must protect our hearts from anything that is in opposition to the truth. And, we must be completely dependant on God to help us trust, believe, and receive all that Jesus died to give us.
We must be patient and not give up or give into settling for less then 100% of all God has done for us. When Jesus told the parable of the sower and the seed he said that when the seed is sown that it brings forth a harvest as much as 3o, 70 and 100 percent. We do not see the 100% before the 30% or the 70%.
What a shame it is when we walk away from the watering-can before the fullness of what God has planted has come forth.
As for me, I am not yet at 100% of the manifestation of the healing that I believe God has promised. However, I am about 75-80% of the way there...and I am holding out. Holding out for all that Jesus has done for me.
Being Loved By Him, With You,
Daveda

- I'm Daveda. I used to have this space filled with sentences that told you about all of the things I saw as accomplishments in my life, mostly to impress you. But, the raw fact of the matter is that none of that really matters and I no longer care if your impressed by me. I just want you to know me. I am who I am because of Him. what I do or do not do, what I have accomplised or have not accomplished - well, it doesnt matter. I am Daveda, daughter of a loving, caring, life giving, Father. Daughter to one who loves me, and knows all of my faults and flaws. I might have a few insightful thoughts that flow out me because "He" lives in me. So, I hope you'll visit and we can get to know each other. CONTACT INFORMATION: sdaveda@gmail.com

Hey girl, it was such a blessing to see you back not only at my blog but here. ((hugs))
Thanks for the update Daveda! Good to see you blogging again!
"What a shame it is when we walk away from the watering-can before the fullness of what God has planted has come forth." Ain't that the truth!! I agree that it has been too long since you were posting on your blog. But I know God is just preparing you for so much more to say in the future. :) Hope you are feeling well!
Love,
Christy
I've been gone awhile myself! I just popped on to see what in the world is going on in the lives of my blogging friends and saw that you posted! Always love it when I see a new post from you.
I was thinking the same thing as Christy Rose.
Praying for the remaining 20-25%!!
Much love girl!
Daveda,
Being involved with my own health issue since November of last year, I understand all of what you are going through. God is faithful and will bring you through it.
I am about right where you are, still recovering from surgery.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Amen to that Daveda! Praise God!
Good to have blogging again.
The parable of the sower is the one that we really have to get a handle on. And your comment about experiencing the 30% and then the 60% before the 100% is absolutely spot on. Just like the disciples, we have to learn to recognise all that we have through Jesus.
So good to hear from you Daveda, you've been on my mind and in my prayers...tried sending you a mail but kept getting an error message.
Keep holding on dear, lots of luv
