Psalm 139:1 & 23-24
O LORD, YOU have searched me and known me...
Search me, O GOD, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

It has always been peculiar to me that David started this Psalm by acknowledging that GOD already knew everything there was to know about him, and then he ended the Psalm by asking GOD to search him and know him. This morning it is very clear. David knew that GOD knew all about him...EVERY SINGLE DETAIL...EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY HEART MOTIVATION...HE KNEW IT ALL. In my heart I believe his closing comments in this Psalm were an expression of his desire for GOD to allow him to know his own heart as GOD did.
This is my prayer today. Ladies, more than anything I want HIM. More than anything I want to KNOW HIM and I want to LOVE HIM and I want to be totally consumed with HIM...NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS.
In recent days as I have been praying and asking HIM to make me more like HIM, I have realized that the more I want to be LIKE HIM...the more of me I see. My heart's desire is that HE would permeate every fiber of who I am...I think HE wants this too.

I love HIS WORD...HIS WORD is the reason that I come each morning and share with you. I share HIS WORD because I KNOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that it is the answer to everything this life hands us. I know that inside the covers of HIS WORD are the answers to every question. This part of our ministry began out of my desire to share with some women the things that GOD was showing me in HIS WORD. It has been an amazing journey...I have loved it...I have loved you...I have so enjoyed sharing my heart.
I don't want to be known as a great writer though. I don't want to be known as someone who knows the WORD OF GOD. I don't want to be known as a decent teacher. I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A WOMAN WHO WAS TOTALLY AND UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY FLAGRANTLY IN PASSIONATE LOVE WITH THE LORD JESUS... NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS.
I say all of that this morning to say...I am again laying down my pen. Last year when I put my pen down I knew that it was for a specific time...today, I cannot tell you that I know this time period. It might be days, weeks...I just don't know. What I know is that as much as I love the writing, and I believe that GOD has given me every single word that I have shared over the last four and a half years....I DON'T EVER WANT IT TO BE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT JESUS...
LADIES, I WANT FOR YOU WHAT I WANT FOR ME. I WANT HIM TO BE EVERYTHING...
My prayer for each of you during this time will be that HE will give you a sincere desire for HIS WORD. Ladies, that IS where you will find HIM. HE told us that we could have HIS heart...and we can have HIS mind....and we can LOVE HIM with every fiber of our being...THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR YOU.

LORD JESUS, I lift these women to YOU. I love them because YOU have allowed us to travel a journey together...some of them have been here for four years and others for only a few weeks...Thank you so much for the privilege that YOU have given me to share YOUR WORD with them. Thank you for writing YOUR WORD on my heart. Thank you that YOUR WORD is alive and active and IT DOES CHANGE US. Thank you that, YOU JESUS, are my highest aspiration. Thank you that YOU have written YOUR NAME across my heart. FATHER, I don't want to be great...I WANT ONLY TO BE YOURS. FATHER, may I know my heart as YOU do...may I see the things that YOU see and may I be totally and utterly consumed with YOU. May my life be a true reflection of YOUR LIFE IN ME. Use these days away to do a work in my heart that ONLY YOU CAN DO...
JESUS, MORE THAN ANYTHING I WANT YOU! IT IS IN YOUR MATCHLESS NAME THAT I PRAY. AMEN

Ladies, I am here...I am available and you can contact me, but for the time I believe that GOD has again asked me to lay down the pen. KNOW that I am praying for you and I am asking HIM to allow you to see what HE sees. I am asking HIM to consume your heart with a passion for HIM and HIM ALONE.

ONLY and ALWAYS Because of JESUS-
Vicky

PS...for those who still desire something in writing I offer you the following website...
I believe you will enjoy this: myutmost.org
....enjoy spending time with JESUS and ask HIM to do a work in you.
