Nothing to do with makeup..... :)

Mornin beauties, this post will have absolutely nothing to do with our love of makeup or how to apply or which brand to buy.  I wanted to share with you a struggle and a breakthru of sorts that I have experienced, all with the love and help of a most awesome God.

For those of you who have ever experienced God's incredible grace and His mercy know the peace and love that come with those moments, for those of you who have ever experienced  His presence....KNOW THAT VERY MOMEMT!  I have been overtaken over the last several years with personal issues in my life that at some points I was the overcomer, I had this, I could make it......then other times I was completely defeated, overtaken, no hope in sight and done.  But thru all those different times I always called upon the Lord to help me, God give me direction, God change this, God change that.......umm, now please.  But as I look back, it's been a whole lot of years in this cycle, and it's honestly quite exhausting.  

I have been to several different churches over these years and have been called out by different pastors and given the same word ........they have all said that God wants me to know that I AM NOT ALONE, that HE IS WITH ME and He hears me......OMG just typing this, stirs up that emotion and makes me cry.  The God that formed the heavens and the earth, that heals the blind, hears little unimportant ME, but that's the thing.....I AM important to Him!  So last night was no exception, I went to church with expectancy that God would move for me, because I am truly at the end of my journey with this struggle, I literally cannot do it another stinking day.  The pastor's sermon was right on the money, then he started calling different circumstances out that he felt God was working with in the church and low and behold, he spoke my situation exactly......exactly people, no hiding......it was for ME!!  So of course the tears started flowing.......and my heart started fluttering because at the moment you know that God sees you and knows your heart........it is truly overwhelming .  So I stood there and kept worshipping this most incredible God and a lady that I have known and loved for too many years to say, came to me and she could hardly speak and she said that her husband wanted to pray with me.  Her husband is a mighty man of God so I all but RAN up to the altar and stood in front of him and listened as he spoke the most precious word that God had given him to give to me..........he said "God wants me to know that I need Him for me and my kids, and that He has never left me and that I am NOT ALONE"!!!  Again, reminding me that I have NEVER been alone, even when I thought I was going to die(not literally)HE WAS WITH ME!!!!  Well!!!!  The uncontrollable tears flowed and flowed and flowed as all my fears and hurts and heartbreak were being released at that alter as Godly women began to pray for me and with me, I'm telling ya, there is nothing that the world can give you that even remotely compares to God's incredible peace that only He can give.......NOTHING!  I don't know what tomorrow will bring to me, but I do know who holds my tomorrow, and in that.......I can make it!!

O.k., ha, ha, ha I fibbed.......I HAVE to tell you that the makeup I was wearing withstood the waterfall of tears and dabbing of tissues......it didn't streak a bit!!!!!  It's by Face Atelier out of Canada and I was testing it for a silicone based alternative to airbrushing!!!! 

 WOO-HOO!!!!
