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...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
