A Day from the Throne Room

Today has been a sweet day. Not only was I basking in the Lord's ability to make gorgeous days like today, but basking in His goodness. He is the only one worthy to be called good. I spent last night hanging out with wonderful ladies such as Kyndall Rutherford, Kim Sarmiento, and Ashley Norville. So good to learn how to live as a woman of the Lord with them and how gracious the Lord has been to all of us. We can testify! I am grateful for the blessing of the body speaking what truth the Lord has revealed to them and passing on to me. It is good to live life together and spur one another on towards holiness.
  • "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:15-16

  • " Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
    the man who gains understanding,

    for she is more profitable than silver
    and yields better returns than gold.

    She is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you desire can compare with her.

    Long life is in her right hand;
    in her left hand are riches and honor.

    Her ways are pleasant ways,
    and all her paths are peace.

    She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
    those who lay hold of her will be blessed." Proverbs 3: 13-18

It is good to live in the wisdom of the Lord and not that of the world's wisdom. A little earlier on in Proverbs 3 there is a verse that says we are to trust the Lord with all our hearts and to lean not on our own understanding but to lean on the Lord's wisdom. Live wisely, but not in what the world says is wise but in the Lord's wisdom. Know matter how much I do or don't understand about what the Lord is up to or why I'm experiencing the things I am at the moment. He is still good and worthy of my whole heart and trust. His ways are ALWAYS higher than mine. His wisdom more infinite than I will ever comprehend. Now that's a god I can trust: a wise King.

Kyndall had an amazing day with a downpour of the Lord's mercy and love over her activities and it was so sweet to rejoice with her in what the Lord is doing! I was rejoicing of what the Lord is doing in my own life and what he is doing in others: making his kingdom come here on earth in every heart. For that, I love my Saviour more and more. The day was beautiful because he allowed it to be and his blessings of peace, love, assurance, grace, mercy, fullness, and abundant life overflowed from the throne room today.

First Blog

I call my blog Spices of Life because there are so many different experiences and lessons, flavors you could say, that produce the full aroma of my life. Not only that, but I like spices...they make food taste good. I long for the spice of Jesus Christ to permeate everything I do.

This feels kinda strange...thinking that someone would read what you have to say about life. I don't have many answers to questions, but I do enjoy sharing the refining process over my life. The Lord has done a great many miracles as he saves me each and everyday. I wish to share my life with you.
