Trust In Jesus

Put your entire trust in the Master Jesus. Then you'll live as you were meant to live.
Acts 16:31

When a resent trial first erupted, the memory verse for that week in my She Read's Truth study on Moses was:

"The Lord will fight for you; be quiet." 
Exodus 14:14

The experience has drawn me into the Presence of the Lord in a way I will never forget.  Along the way there have been moments I thought for certain the Lord would call me home and that was ok, because He is the ultimate!

Some of my Roanoke girlfriends came and took me to lunch a few months ago and gave me a  journal with a scripture verse on every other page.  I decided to use it this summer. The verses have carried us through a tough journey.  I had to read ahead a few days to see what God was preparing us for. His sustenance has been spot on.
These verses will be printed off and placed in my Bible and kept as a reminder of his faithfulness.  

"Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God."  
Matthew 5:8

"With God all things are possible."  
Matthew 19:26

"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.  
In all your way acknowledge Him and he shall direct your paths."  
Proverbs 3:5-6

"Oh, give thanks to the Lord for he is good!  For his mercies endure forever."  
Psalm 107:1

"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith-
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." 
 Ephesians 2:8

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, 
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation,
the old has gone, the new has come!"
2 Corinthians 5:17

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
Hebrews 13:8

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things."
Philippians 4:8

"And we know that  all things work together for good 
to those who hare called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28

"For the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations."
Psalm 100:5

"Mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied."
Jude 1:2

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord.  
"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

"He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle."
Psalm 103:5

"Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people,
but love your neighbor as yourself.  I am the Lord."
Leviticus 19:18

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
