Storms of life

 

IMG_7440

Last week was full of struggles and storms in trying to find a house,to frustrations with family issues. Every day is not promised to us to be  full of sunshine. The Lord Jesus does promise to send a helper to guide us through the storm.

John 14:26

“But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

 

James 1:2-3

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”

Diver Temptations- does not mean sin- but various trials.

Each trial is made to strengthen us in our faith and Character- I am sorry to say at times I think I failed the test. I was weak, and worn. I felt alone in trying to deal with the pressure of packing,schooling, home maintenance, as well as trying to find where The Lord would have us be.  All  of this overwhelming me to a point of desperation and  a strong desire of peace.

The week is anew and this is my prayer:

Psalm 143:8-12

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.


Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.


Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.


Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.


And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.

In Jesus Name-

Amen

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
