Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord

August 15
Genesis 18:14
Is anything too hard for the Lord?

 Why don't we pray with positive expectancy?
Why don't we start every prayer with "God with you all things are possible, so...."
Studying about the LATE In LIFE child God sent to Sarah and Abraham, I was struck with a challenge. Begin a Genesis 18:14 prayer journal!  A journal for those things, which in forgetting who God is, I might contemplate never coming to fruition.  (No, winning the lottery is not on there.)

There is a strict criterion I've attached.  The answering of each request must bring glory to God and beside the "heart's desire" will be written an applicable scripture verse.
One entry:
Many schools are starting back this week.  My husband is the Head of School at Christian Heritage Academy, a small Christian school in Rocky Mount, VA.  One of the Genesis 18:14 prayers I have recorded is for much needed financial gifts to be bestowed upon the school and for enrollment to increase.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

 A challenge question came from the Lord.  "If nothing is impossible for me and your aim in praying is for me be glorified, why not pray for all Christian schools to experience financial and student growth and for my name to be allowed back in public schools?"  That mind set lead to praying for the upcoming election and God to place men who fear Him in positions of authority. For the voucher system to be put into place so families could choose the type education they want their children to receive and for our school systems to be flooded with Christian teachers who will train up their students in ways which are pleasing to God.

 Get away with God and he will take you on a real journey!  Nothing is too hard for Him.

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...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac...
