Easter Sunday at CrossPointe Church

My church connect group is embarking on a 50 day devotional study by Lysa Terkeurst called You're Going to Make It.  I'll post pieces of wisdom I'm learning along the way.  The promises found in Day 1 are highlighting worthy in your Bible!


Here is a link to the first week, but I encourage you to order the book from Proverbs 31 Ministry and sign up for the emails.

Day  1 Healing is not as Neat and Tidy as I’d Like


Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path.  Psalm 119:105

“I needed to surrender my vision of what I wanted for God’s better and more complete vision. That’s what Jesus did in the garden of Gethsemane when he prayer, ‘Abba, Father’ he said, ‘everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me.  Yet  not what I will, but why you will.”  Mark 14:36


God promises to guard your heart and mind.          Philippians 4:6-7

God promises to give you His peace.               John 14:27

God promises to comfort you in all your troubles. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

God promises to help you and strength you. Isaiah 41:10

God promises to bless, protect, and be gracious to you. Numbers 6:24-26

God promises to give you rest when you’re weary and burdened. Matthew 11:28-30

God promises to hear and answer your prayers.         1 John 5:14-15

God promises to supply all your needs.         Philippians 4:19


God has a perfect plan in the midst of a million imperfect realities.


Evening - Isaiah 55:9 as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts tan your thoughts.


Prayer

God, please keep reminding me to not get attached to my own limited thinking. Give me eyes to see an expanded perspective beyond what I see right now.


God, I am prone to forget  Your faithful promises. Thank You for showing them to me in so many different Bible verses today. That You for caring about me and what I’m walking through.  I trust You with what’s heavy on my mind and know You see me as I lay those things down at Your feet tonight. In Jesus’s name.

The Song

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
