Expressions of Thanksgiving

 

Expressions

While reading through the beautiful book Expressions by Jane Lazenby as part of my time in God’s Word each day I find this quote:

Amazed by God

“Find people who are amazed by God and LET THEM (emphasis mine) pour into you. The deeper you go into the Word, the less you know.  The less you know, the more you find God and worship Him……. Pursue being amazed by God. Ask God to build in you a heart that can’t get over Him. Ask Him to intrigue you forever.”  Now, that is good stuff right there!

 

Psalm 71:17. O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.

Isaiah 25:1. O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things;  Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

Expressions of Inspiration

My life has been a cornucopia of such people!  From my earliest recollections, I am blessed with people who were amazed by God and poured into me!  I discover this truth, “the more time I spend in God’s Word the less I know,” as they live out Christ’s example before me. Thankfully, they challenge and inspire me to study God’s Word!

Thank You!

I am so humbled. Each soul who has crossed my path and has left their dust in footprints I now follow.  I have not been easy to pour into, but you did!  You spoke the truth even knowing it would be hard for me to hear! “You gave to the Lord and I was the life that was changed!”  Thank you!  Only God could love you more! 

Thank You  by Ray Boltz

Lord, I ask You to “build in me a heart that CANNOT get over You! Lord, intrigue me forever!”

Ms. Lazenby, you wrote this book for me! Now you too have poured into me!  Thank you!

About Yvonne Jones

I am at heart, a LIFEguard: "big" sister, mama, grandmother, aunt, friend, swimming coach, lifeguard trainer, and registered nurse. I am in the business of alleviating fear through education and lots of hand holding. As a swimming instructor, I have taught people of all ages to overcome fear of the water and I marvel as fear gives way to fearlessness, as panic turns to pure joy, as tears dissolve into giggles of glee, and pennies retrieved from the bottom of the abyss become trophies. As a nurse, I have been privileged to walk up to Heaven's gate as patients and family are welcomed home, witnessed the miracle of birth, helped mend broken hearts, and cared for the elderly as they wait. Scriptures number one admonition is "fear not." Question is HOW??? The Word becomes our swimming instructor and can help us learn to "tread water til Jesus comes." Something my students often thought I was going to make them do! So welcome to my pool! Jump in the cool water. Let it refresh your soul and feel the unseen hands of the Master Lifeguard lift you up and out of the deep water. Who knows, you just might even walk on water!

We would love to hear from you
