Journaling with Jesus

Amazing grace flows from the heart of the Lord towards His children and as we wait for Him to speak, He will! We can write it down and read it later. It is so wondrous what He says to us as His love cannot help but reach out and enjoy His children. Sometimes or most times we get the answer to our petition or a new idea or an interpretation to a dream we had. There is nothing quite so thrilling when you see it come to pass according to the words you wrote from Jesus. Such bliss knowing He cares enough to listen and respond.

 Journaling opens up a whole new way of learning about ourselves from God's perspective. On our own level we miss a lot of things that stand out to others and Jesus. He wants to train us up in the way that we should go to accomplish our destinies. Authors understand the need to suddenly write whatever comes to their minds and Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He writes on our hearts and reveals what He has put there to us as we write. A lot of mysteries exist in this life and the Lord of Glory is the solver of all of them. There is nothing that He does not know and is willing and able to let us in on.

 The ideas we have about things depend on our past and our history. Especially in relationships we draw conclusions of our own about people based on where we have been with them in our daily walk of life. But Jesus understands changes in people that take place in the heart. He has a profound sense of what it is we should say and do in our relationships that can become strained if we react out of yesterdays involvement instead of where they are at now. When we ask the Lord to give us the reason why a certain person is acting the way that they presently are and journal it with Jesus we are startled at the reply. I have had ugly occasions where I was confounded as to how to react. On one of those happenings Jesus told me that the person was feeling unappreciated and used. The solution was simple and it worked quite well. As I expressed gratitude to that one the atmosphere changed totally around. I was really glad that I listened to God, the Lord and applied what seemed undeserving for that other person but was deeply needed.

 Jesus knows how it is all supposed to work and as we obey Him, because we love Him, the changes are miraculous. As a result of hearing and following through with God we find that He will share future events with us as well. This is an awesome time! His sharing is not that we should do something about the situation but that we should know that we are trusted and forewarned in some cases. I hate to miss these journaling mornings as they enthuse and excite me to be in His presence knowingly. I write this piece of information to recommend to all that Jesus is waiting for you to take the time to call with expectancy. He does want you to know what is in your own heart from His heart.

WELCOME to NEW,FRESH,CREATED just for YOU !!!


~~~WELCOME to our Blog..~~~
Dona Hatherley creates roads to wellness in all areas of life by pointing out ways and means as well as the expectations you can have from God's viewpoint.

Today I am better than I have been in 28 years. That is how I am able to start this new way of life on line. "How can this be?" you say. I am so glad you asked.

Two years ago Feb.04,04 I was approached, no begged , to try some new products for health. NO, no, no I responded because I was so-o-o tired of promises that did not come true. BUT, I gave in and have not regretted it. I am really glad that these effective products were brought to my attention. Because of hypoglycemia- low blood sugar, and fibromyalgia- a painful autoimmune disease, I was barely coping with life and living. Each day I awoke from fretful sleep saddened to still be alive in such misery.

Three days after using the supplements and the cleaning products, I was out of my lengthy miserable existence. It turns out that the chemicals in my cleaning, laundry and dish detergent were in fact slowly killing me.

Another great discovery is that my sin of unforgiveness led me into this pit and after repenting and publicly forgiving everyone that had ever tresspassed against me I am healing faster. yahoo !!!

As an added bonus I am able to learn again and discovered a love for the internet. Here I can offer folks an opportunity also to join with me getting this wonderful news out to the world. Hope deferred makes the heart sick and I knew that all too well.

Now I can say with confidence that ' there is a way to get well and I can get it to you'. Physical, emotional, financial healing is an amazing outcome that I relish for you and yours with love in Jesus .
So once again I say WELCOME to our blog where we can interact and discuss lovely and not so lovely things pertaining to the Lord God Almighty Jehovah.


From My journal of May 08,06 I requested of the Lord that He would grant me all the promises He breached with my grand parents and my husband's grandparents. According to His word in Num.14:34 and surrounding passages, the Lord destroyed most of His people because of their unbelief and their blatant disobedience. WOW, where does that leave us? Anyway He came good on His promised land with the grandchildren of the few who did obey and believe Him.

That leads me to believe that we too can expect to receive the promise of abundant life with all that entails that our grandparents and parents lost out on. Now you say 'have you lost your marbles ,you cannot accuse God in Heaven of a breach of promise'. No, not me. God himself said it in His own book of Numbers.

Ten times the Hebrew people disobeyed the Lord God almighty ! They Knew His awsome power! They had seen many miracles and heard His thunderous voice. What were they thinking??? Unfortunately their unbelief cost them everything. The same holds true for us with God's Son, Jesus the Christ.

Believe means adhere to, trust in completely, surrender in faith . My folks were poor as was my husbands' people. Neither father could believe that God wanted a 10% offering entrusted to Him that He could multiply back to them. Sad to say, the families suffered needlessly. Therefore the abundant life alluded us all. But now I see that we can receive that promised abundant life that Jesus talked about and poor does not have to be our lot in life. As an apostle of joy says 'I tried poor and I tried rich. I liked rich much better'. The moral of this story is that you too can believe God for the abundant life and the breached promised stuff. Hence we learn and receive at our blog.
