I recently went on a retreat and it was very different from what I expected the major thing I received from it was different words for Jesus. Jehovah Shammah the abiding presence of Jesus.
In Ezekial Ch 48 v 35 a city is named The Lord is there!!

I wonder if I am the only one who ever feels that God is not close or that you don't feel him near, I often rely on my feelings instead of the fact that God has promised never to leave or forsake us.

Well I got my reminder this weekend 'He is always there' in fact He is here there and everywhere!!

We often here the saying "We don't know what's around the corner" well actually its true we don't! but we do know who will be there, God!!

So many of my dear friends are suffering right now with illness or they or their families are suffering in someway. I know that when I pray I am praying to a God who is already there. He is there for us to talk to, scream at, be still with, cry with  pout with!! Rejoice with. We cant run away from him because He is always there!!

Jehovah Shammah everyone.
