Cry to the Lord

March 8-9
Heading off this morning to a women's conference to praise the Lord with the masses!  
It has been a lot of work for the women at the local church putting this conference together.  Our pastor's wife heads up this conference and we've tried to keep her prayed up so she will not grow anxious over the details.  Here are some scriptures we prayed over her.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do to be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3

Let's pray these things together now for the work the Lord has for each of us to do. Then be sure to click on the song below, raise your hands in the air and sing along!  (My husband caught me doing this earlier.)

Father, we adore you!  We lay our lives before you and desire to be pleasing in Your sight. When the enemy rears his ugly head remind us to not be afraid or discouraged, but to stand strong and courageous as Gideon and his 300 did, knowing You go before us and area with us wherever we go.
When the testing times arise, may our automatic cry be…"Save us, Lord."  Be upon every detail Father of our lives.  In Jesus' Name, we come to You. Amen.

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
