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

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...

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for people(brothers and sisters) who are willing to reach out and help when they may not even know you... Last week I ordered a Saxon Algebra 1 book from a woman from a homeschooling classified site. The reason why I ordered it is because some where in the sea of boxes I have, there is the test forms for our Algebra and of course I could not find it without opening every box. So I went online and ordered it. The person I was ordering from did not accept Paypal, and I was really needing that test booklet as soon as possible, since that happened to be the math that Maria and Joey were in. I called the woman asking if there was some other way she could help me get these books faster. The first thing she asked me was "Are you  a  Christian?  I said" yes ma'am" She says "I will send the books priority today, before you send me the check. I trust you!" I was amazed, astounded that a sister across the miles, who never saw me or met me would reach her...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
